PROGRAMME E. rection of fifty y new homes in 'Clinton by Wartime Housing Limited its notexpected tog solve ,completely b Pv p y the town's housing problem but it is anticipated Chat the move 'will go a long way toward relieving the present situation. j For some tine, there has been a feeling among town officials that the Wartime Housing proposal would not be feasible here, but when the matter was explained to the Town Council anrd interested citizens at Thursday evening's special Council meeting, the proposition seemed quite subtractive, particularly from the town's point of view. The municipality advances no funds whatever to build these 'homes; its only obligation its to provide the necessary improved building lots, wtherever these may be obtained. The houses do not have to be erected in one block, but wherever the Town Council directs --on single, double or lots that might take a group of several. Owners of available lots -should get in touch with the Town Clerk lenledilately, as the more quickly the town is forthcoming with the lots,, the more queckly (will the programme be -eoonn.pllete'd and the house's be ready for occupancy. (Since the agreement with Wartime Housing limited novas authorized by the Town Council, suggestions have been made that a total of 50 houses would not be nearly enough to fill the demand. But !assurance has been given that the number n'ay be increased through the signing of a 'supplementary agreement when the initial project. gets under way, anal it ins found that the original number is inadequate, Judging by the way applications have been coming in to the Town Clerk's Office and the statement of representative of the RCAF that 'they could use 100 themselves, it appears that a total of 100 would not be too many to build. In addition, local industrial expansion might be given some encouragement if sufficient housing accommodation were available to factory employees. A satisfactory feature of the plan its that the town will receive from Wartime Housiing Limited, Brom $26 to, 831 per dwelling in lieu of taxes, which will total up to one -and -a -half mills revenue that is now not being collect- ed. The town has no worry either in collecting rents or allotting houses; all that will be done by the Crown -owned company. Taping it by and large, 'and ,allowing for a few minor drawbacks, the deal 'seems to be a ,good one, as far as the town is concerned. LET'S GET OUR SHARE ! The Memorial Day weekend indicated very clearly that the tourists from the United States aregoing to visit Canada this summer in greater numbers than ever before. The number of American 'automob'ile licenses seen on the streets of Clinton and Bayfield and other 'centices in this section of Ontario, was an eye-opener. Local merchants reported a land office business, particu- larly in such lines 'as bacon and meats; in fact, everyone received a share of American dollars. One ]thing is certain; the tourist business in this area is too big to let go by our doors without encouraging it, and the Chamber of Commerce Mould be taceorded the greatest possible public support in ,anything that might be done through the Tourist and Publicity Committee of the'Chlaunber, - t'' in the wake of a flood of literature that es being 'releiased from the Ontario Travel and Publicity Department these days :the influx of tourists from the United States is expeoted to top all previous records. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics has estimated that $221,000,000 .was spent in Canada last year by 21,000,000 tourists, these figures smaethinlg all previous marks. Of this amount -Ontario is said to have secured $109,000,000 or roughly 51 per cent, Col. Welsh estimates that close to 500,000 United States touring parties will surge across the border into Ontario this year. From the interest shown to date—,and if you cared to 'ask the staff 'dispenlsing the information— tit seems as if twice that number are coming. It''s really "big business" and we should be prepared to handle our share of it. O 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—Keep a Igood tongue in your head—Shakespeare "The Tempest."

Above all, protect the forests from, fire. Ontario' has been abundantly blessed with natural resources; which, if not properly protected, can be quickly exhausted. Every year, for example, thousands of acres of trees are destroyed because someone is not careful with fire. 1 Forests mean much more than a pleasant place to holiday :: i an attraction for tourists ... shelter for game animals and fishing haunts. They mean more than a source of lumber and paper products; and jobs for thousands of people, vital as these are to national welfare. Climate is tempered—extremes prevented—by forest areas. They store water too—help to keep rivers and streams from dangerous and costly flooding in spring time. They spread the flow of water more evenly through the year. That means they help to ensure a year-round supply of Hydro power for you. Protect the forests. They • serve you well.
