This fact was clearly established at the second Hensall Planning Work- shop on a Secondary Plan for Hensall. Fewer -than 30 people attended this important meeting and Hensall residents are urged to realize that it is the future of their village that is being dis- cussed. The evening developed mainly into a discussion period, at which all endeavoured to answer certain questions. In his opening re- marks, Chairman Harold Knight, designated Bendix (two plants) and Traylors as manufacturing industries and W.G. Thompson, Gerbos and the Co-op as pro- cessing industries. These six industries produce a total of 546 full-time jobs in Zurich Personals Mr. Lloyd O'Brien and Mr. Ray Fisher are patients in South Huron Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kane returned home after a four- month visit with their daughters in California. Miss Linda Gascho, of Toronto and Mr. and Mrs. Brian Bell-, charnber, of London, were week end visitors with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Gascho. Miss Maura Gascho and friend, Alex Juvshik, of Thunderbay are also spending a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Gascho. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Batstone, of Richmond Hill, spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Gascho last week. Cameron Rader, son of Mr. and Mrs. .Ferry Rader was baptized in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Zurich, Sunday, May 2. God- ' parents were Mr. and Mrs. ' Gary Flaxbard, of Kitchener. Mrs. Leona Rader, Clarence Reichert, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Arthur and family; Mr. Ron Rader and Shirley De Vries and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Taylor, .of Hensall, all attended the 25th Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Horman, in Woodstock on Sunday afternoon. ®_® Hensall while the total of full- time jobs in Hensall is 843, but only 40% of these workers live in Hensall. However, the industries produce 60% of the taxes against 40% from residen- tial property (the reverse of most municipalities) and each indust- rial job in its turn promotes two to four extra jobs in the business sector, The first part of the evening was spent in discussing exist- ing industries and the effect of their ' `scatterization". Do Hen- sall residents want this scatter- ing of industry to remain or do they want to establish definite areas where industry can locate and expand? Again, should areas of the pre- sent village be zoned industrial or residential or should an Industrial Park be established? " In the first case `'industries scattered) very little expansion can take place. In the second alternative (zoning in present limits) limited expansion can be expected over a period of years as property falls vacant. If an Industrial Park is estab- lished, industries can be encour- aged to relocate in that park when expansion is considered and new industries can be brought into Hensall. N we remain static, present industries could shut down, with a resulting loss of jobs and indirectly a loss of business in other areas, The meeting mainly fek that the problem of expansion and annex- ation are closely tied together. Expansion of the village would include both industrial and residential. Nowadays, most young people from Hensall are going to the big cities to get work; expansion would mean people could be educated, work and live in Hensall. The plan would be to keep the present assessment ratio as nearly as possible the same, that is 60% of taxes from industrial and 40% from residential. Industrial traffic at present uses #4 Highway to a great extent, and proceeds down town. by King Street or Mill Street, north. At certain times of the day and year this produces heavy traffic conditions but it was felt that a by-pass was not the solu- • tion. If there is any expansion to the north a new street on the north side of town night separate industrial and local traffic. Pollution is not a big problem in Hensall but plans were being made for increased garbage pick- up and elimination of the dust problem. Future Industrial Development was next discussed. No growth, urrlimited growth and ,controlled ' growth are the alternatives and the meeting was unanimously for controlled growth. But growth brings changes. Services have to be geared to support growth, positive action must be taken and !that means expenses to the ' community. It growth is wanted there must be some means of attracting industries. Serviced lots at a reasonable price are a big attract - Iion anywhere and the best way to provide this is in an Industrial Park. The type of living environ, ment must be attractive too s� growth carries its obligations. A vote was taken by the Chairman and unanimously con- trolled growth was voted for with the majority of those present will- ing to make some sacrifice to encourage controlled growth in Hensall. Next Tuesday, Commercial Development. You, the citizens of Hensall are wanted at that meeting at the Public School at 8 p.m. Your opinion will be listened to, your thoughts are valued, you, and you only can plan the Hensall of the year 2000! 1 JxdThL(on 'PHONE NO.
