It is nice country around here, all mountains, and they have race fields right up to the top of the hill, and they carry water up to the top to water the plants. They have some great looking boats; they look as if they would fall apart if you leaned against them. A lot of the people speak English. The women carry the babies on their backs anti look just like a pack mule. I have four different kinds of money — British money, two kinds of U.S.A., and Japanese mon- ey. The Japanese is 360 yens to a dollar. I never had much to do with 100's or I,00.0's before, but I have Tots of them now." Truly," Mrs. W. J. Pybus, of Exe- ter, accompanying her at the piano.

The first steps in town planning and zoning are appointing a com- mittee on land use and to create a list of the town's assets, advised Dr. E. G. Pleva, of the Un+t ersity of Western Ontario, at the annual dinner meeting of the Seaforth Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening in St. Thomas' Parish Hall. About 75 were in attendance, and Chairman Gordon Wright presided. In his opening remarks, Dr. Pleva said one of the first deci- sions to be made 'by both commit- tee in charge of town planning and the citizens, is to find out wbether or not the majority wants the town to grow. It makes it a lot easier: for planners if the residents are psychologically fitted for growth. In some cases, people are quite content to rest on their oars and in these places the town is dead or dying. Dr. Pleva said he believed Seaforth to be in the class of the midele town. By that he meant that it wes big enough for semiurb- an economy. Stressing the term decentraliza- tion. he told his audieuce that it muot keep in mind that Seaforth is Dart of a Large region. He proph- esied great expansion would take place in this area of Western On- tario within 25 years, Bearing this in mind, one must look at this ex- pansion from a regional point of view, People no longer live.within themselves, and in all their plan- ning must take into consideration the people in neighboring towns, as they will eventually form an in- tregal part of the plan. Thus the day , of competition with other towns is over. Dr. Pleva advised against encour- aging large industry to locate in a small town, because there was no accommodation and no surplus labor. One reason why most large concerns Iodate in cities' is that its presence does not create a disloca- tion in Iabor. That is, if an indi- vidual changes jobs, he doesn't af- fect his domestic set-up. The speaker told of the value of living in a small town. Here one belongs to the town and joins in all its activities in a sincere man- ner. Here again Dr. Pleva stressed the fact that again decentralization of industry was taking place. With present high standards of living and easier means of communica- tion, one does not have to live close to things. Decentralization of Industry is the breaking down of a large plant into several self-con- tained units. Advantages. of this were proven during the war, be- cause the:knocking out of one plant would not seriously affect the pro- duction of the whole. In addition, the human element involved with I:,aor in this set-up meant better production. Smaller towns must be ready for growth, he continued. It won't cost :.nything more to place a building in the right place when it is being erected. To help find the right place for the right building, he suggested a land use map showing all details. so that the committee on planning could actually see how things were working out. Dr. Pleva offered his services in preparing such a map. Matters of local nature crept in- to the speaker's remarks. Sewage disposal was coming to all munici- palities, because legislation had al- ready been passed, -but was not yet being enforced. He predicted that the town would be faced with it within 10 years. 17r. Pleva advised against using the minimum size lot for a public school ground. There should be sue fic ent land for trees, park, play- ground, etc., as schools were be- coming a community centre. He suggested putting a school in the area in which the residential dis- trict wants to be pulled. Touching on his recommenda- tion to make a list of the town's assets, Dr. Pleva said to keep this information tip to date and make it readily available to those concern- ed. Since management is taking an enlightened view of the way in which workers live, the fact that a town has a playground, swimming pool, recreational facilities, is now a prime consideration in finding a location for an industry. Dr. PIeva romerked on tbe wide streets of Seaforth, and the newly - painted storefronts. lie strongly advised preserving the green things of nature, and to watch the ap- proaches of the town, By all means. try to beautify them. Concluding his address, the speaker said that people will build along highways and suggested keeping houses well back from the road. A short discussion was held at the end of the meeting during which time Dr. Pleva invited ques- tions. ,John Bach asked if it would be better to have a high school and public school together. Dr. Pleva recommended visiting schools where .such was the case and in- terviewing teachers. pupils and te.cidents to asrerta'in their views, E. L. Box wondered if there was any truth to tbe fact that a town grows west and north, more than east and south. Dr. Pleva replied that growth of a town depended on terrain and main roads. To s. question of E. F. Hurst, whether higherays should circumvent towns he replied that it is much better MINISTER LflES Rev. J, R. Peters, former minister of Winthrop United Church, who died Thursday at his home in Brampton. REV. J. R. PETERS DIES IN BRAMPTON Former Winthrop Pastor Was in His Seventy- first Year. Rev. John Robert Peters, former minister of Cavan United Church, Winthrop, died Thursday at his home in Brampton. He was in his 71st year, Mr. Peters was born in Morning - ton Township, near Brunner. He attended Topping School, Milverton Continuation School, Stratford Col- legiate Institute, and Albert Col- lege, Belleville. He took his B.A. degree in honor philosophy from Victoria College of the University of Toronto, and his theology at Vic- toria. He was ordained in the for- mer Methodist Church in 1913, and since then has • served almost en- tirely in rural charges in Western Ontario. His Huron County ap- pointments included Winthrop, Bel - grave, Dungannon and Elimville. Mr. Peters carried the C.C.F. banner in the 1949 federal election,' but was defeated.

John Hoffman; social committee, Alice Stiles, Betty Read, Eleanor Weaver. Mary Box. The meeting decided to hold its first tournament on Wednesday, May 9. not to build them down the main street. Ross Savauge inquired as to the best method of finding out details where industry wants to locate. Dr. i'ieva said that sometimes this was vee y difficult, but the trend now was such that this was becoming easier. Government agencies are being formed to gather information on towns and make it available to interested persons. Dr. J. A. Munn asked if a sewage system entered into the picture when a new industry was locat- ing. Since a sewage system would in all probability have to be In- stalled within the next 10 years, any new industry would be faced with paying its share, but, the speaker stated, the cost outd not^ frighten anyone. Concerning a gentlemen's agree- ment on closing, Dr. Pleva said it didn't wont in London, and had doubts tint it would work here. During the evening the meeting joined in ,ome community singing, led by J E. Keating, and accom- panied h Ross Savauge. J. R.
