The shift from rural to urban. living has caused a loss of people in the more rural counties of Huron and Perth, In 1966, the population density for the region was 116 people per square mile, for the province, 20 per square mile and for Perth County, 72 per square mile, The labor force has increased by 20 percent, partly because of the increase in the number of women working. The agricultural labor force has declined by 11 percent, the report said. ' ' Agriculture is concentrated in Huron and Perth counties; man- ufacturing in the "Golden Trian- gle," In the provision of community, business and personal services, the Midwestern region lagged behind the rest of the province in 1961. Only in Kitchener area has there been a shift and service employ- ment has been rising, while manufacturing employment has been decreasing. In Huron County, most of the . men of working age available for work were in the 15 to 24 and the 65 and over age groups, while those in Waterloo County were in the 25 to 64 age group. The report said this variation indicates fewer young people in Huron County, possibly because of out -migration or a low birth rate, or fewer young people stay- ing in school, Perth and Huron Counties have lower rates for female participat- ion in the labor force because they are less urbanized and have less manufacturing activity in the female labor force., In services, transportation, communications and public utilit- ies in the Midwestern Region rank last of 10 regions, The labor force income in the region per capita in 1967 was $684 less than the provincial average and the region ranked seventh of 10 regions from 1958 to 1966, in total labor income, Huron and Perth Counties have a greater percentage of households in the under $5, 000 income groups than the provincial norm. But the lower wage scales do help attract industry to the area, the report said, The educational attainment of the adult population in the region has been increasing but the in- crease is not as great as that of the rest of the province. The prop- ortion of people having Grade 13 or post -secondary education is smallest in Huron and Perth Count- ies, The region has fewer dentists and -doctors per capita than the rest of the province, although psychiatric facilities fill the reg- ion's need. The more urban counties, Water loo and Wellington have better health facilities than lIuron and Perth Counties, The Ontario department of health is trying to encourage doct- ors and dentists to enter general practice in under serviced areas in the province, such as Milverton and Seaforth through grants and a guaranteed income. The report found that Huron and Perth Counties have a higher in- cidence of traffic and other ac- cidental deaths than the more ur- banized counties. Occupational accidents are low- er in the region as are the number of reported crimes. Wellington and Perth Counties have fire oc- currence rates above the provincial average. The report said tourism has not been developed adequately and the demand for recreational opportunities has been increasing, The number of motels and cot- tages has increased over the past decade while the number of hotels and cabins has declined. Cottage development around lakes created by conservation dams is being discouraged. There are 28 conservation areas in the region, and one provincial park, Point Farms. Such events as the Stratford Shakes.earean Festival, the Vinyl Hose Now Best for Gardens The days of the heavy rubber garden hose are fading as the modern vinyl hose takes its place. Take into account a number of factors when buying a hose, For PAGE NINE jhoses 100 or more feet long for example, the inside diameter should be 5/8 inch, Shorter hoses should have al -inch diameter .to supply maximum water volume. If the hose is to be used with a lawn sprinkler for large lawns the larger diameter hose is the best type. For example, if the water pressure is 50 pounds per square inch, and a 100 -foot hose with al -inch diameter is used, .4 gal- lons of water will be discharged in one minute. Elmira Maple Sugar Festival and the Fergus Highland Games help attract tourists to the area. In Stratford, tourists spent $8, 000, 000 in 1966, and 20 per cent of employment in Stratford and the vicinity is generated by tourism. Midwestern Ontario ranked eighth in the number of visitors and ninth in visitor spend- ing in the 10 regions, Stratford spent 10 cents more than the provincial average of 86.50 per capita on recreation and community services in 1964, 1965 and 1966, The report suggested develop- ing historic sites, and increasing the number and capacity of the outdoor recreation facilities. Problems faced by developers are the quality of the watercourses inaccessibility to the Lake Huron waterfront and the damaging over -use of facilities during peak periods.
