goed way to get an idea'of what a community is like, The
Aylmerites, Aylraerinns or Aylmers, whatever the citizens
en masse call thernseiVes, seemed, quite warm, folk and
more than willing to share their seasonal good humour
with someone they, couldn't have known. Such informal
welcoming certainly arms a visitor vvith good impressions.
The friendly twolnile walk along the main street
brought me to the western limits of the town where the
parade ended. As I arrived at the finish point where I
would meet my niece'," her father and his friend, Pglanced
'back over my shoulder, and the large sign which caught
my eye provided the source of my revelation.
It was the standard sign which greets visitors to any
community in ourpart of Ontario. You know. Visitors
welcome, here are our clubs and, depending on the size of
the community, the board is plastered with every logo
conceivable.
This one had something a TietTe exTra. though. There
at the bottom was a neat, laise, serious and professional
sign which said: "Serviced Industrial Lots Available."
MAKE VISITORS WELCOME
Where's the irony. Well, the sign would not h3ve meant
as much to me (1 may not have even noticed it) if Seaforth
wasn't winding up a series of public meetings aimed at
developing a new town plan. In the course of the
discussions one of the largely debated topics was the
future development for our town's industrial park. It is far
easier to aftraet new industry if you have serviced land to
offer which is owned by the municipality. Another key
element in selling a community to an industry is its people,
.and in the new town plan emphasis will likely be put on
encouraging Seaforthites to make visitors feel welcome
when they drop in on us. -
Saturday, in Aylmer, the sign and the people were very
noticeable and it was no coincidence they struck me so.
It's our turn now. This community is sitting on the
threshold of its own future, one it can make. Dedicated
,
Work hrthe planning board, and solid Opp* by the town
j
Are' needed,. Tim former. ,bas alread been proved, the
latter lies in' the hands of theAm 611t. -
As tlenrr Mero said at the final preliminary ;fleeting of
the planning board, '"1 think 'there are , great things
happening 'in °SeafortK and. we as citizens will see it
through."
The p7ential is there, °and we all just gotta give 'er.
Speaking of people and good things, 1 reeeived a phone
call early this Week which turned out to be one of those
small rewards of this business which don't come your way
very dffen. ^
This is not intended as a plug, but the company which
•publishes the Expositor also owns two magazines, the
Rural Voice and the Village Squire.
The theme of our December issue of the Village Squire
is Christmas traditions at home and abroad. In it, I happen
to have a small article, outlining my pwn family traditions
in which various members of our Clan are m,entioned. I
admit, too, it Was intended as much for our readers as it
was as a present to iny family.
Anyway, when I answered the phone, there; at the
other end was a gentleman rtaffer-Riaritlgscoltibe, a
subscriber from Grand Bend and late (last ,year) of
Sudbury, my hoshetown. It turns out Mr. Lipscombe
worked with my father, went to school with my mother and
knows more members of my family than I do.
I confessed I had written the story with the intent partly
to provide the Shoveller hordes with some added cheer and
happiness this C,hristmas.
"Well, I can tell you you made someone else happy,"
was his reply.
Man, if yon,could buy food with things like that, I'd be
living like a king for the next six months!

I am once again sorry to report that Crozier didn't ring
up this week. Again. though, I'm not surprised given the
abysmal performance his Leafs offered the paying peons
Friday and Saturday night, at the hand of the once lowly
but now Mike Palmateer - bolstered Washington Capitals.
Do you think Ralmateer had any gestures in mind for Mr.
Ballard as he went about frustrating Toronto shooters?
