Stanley J. Randall, Ontario's Minister of Economics and t evelope- ment spoke. in Goderich last week. While what he said was directed in the main to Goderich and its potential it applies equally to Huron County and every Town in the County. Mr. Randall listed the assets of the community — a stock taking as it were: Then referring to the success- ful manufacturing plants in the com- munity, he stressed that responsiblity for economic growth begins at home —with the individual, — the individ- ual company and the individual com- munity. Industries are successful be- cause their management has worked harder and more effectively. Because they have used their imagination and all the selling tools available, as well, he said, as inventing new ones. The most important factor in help- ing a community reach its potential is establishing a long-range point of view and planning for it. All -in all he said, the future looks promising providing .,•, communities do something about it and have faith. Primary projection studies by The Mid -Western Ontario Development As- , sociation.. indicates a. potential of 200, 000 additional people by 1980 in this economic region, which ,,includes ' the four counties... of Huron, Perth, Waterloo and Wellington. Mr. Randall pointed that this could mean: —15,000 additional senior citizens. — 20 million extra gallons of water a day. —15,000 additional acres of farm land under urbanization. • x 3- 0,000 additional acres of farm land • that could be blighted by urban sprawl. —75,000 new, housing, units will be required. r Huron Centres —115,000 added to the labor force, (besides needing places in which to live, these people will require new ser- vice `Industries to keep up with their higher living standards). • —100,000 additional motor vehicles on the roads, (and they all need to be serviced). —1,300 additional primary school rooms.

All that is required are people with the faith and determination of . those of sixty and eighty years ago who laid out the town, Who •-built the churches, the schools, the palatial residences and business blocks, such as Cardno's. We of this generation have been riding \ free on the foresight and faith of our. forebearers for too long. And we should remember too, those of us who grouse about high taxes— that in terms of purchasing power and direct benefits—taxes were higher in the nineties than they are today.

A Macduff Ottawa Report' The Pause That Refreshes OTTAWA—There was a sense of thankfulness and relief on all sides when Parliament took its brief Easter recess. After sitting for nearly 14 months, with scarcely a break, members of Parliament were more than ready to pause, re- group their forces and reassess their 'positions. Whether the„. -pause will be one that refreshes remains to be seen. During the Throne Speech de- bate—cut from eight day 'to six days by unanimous consent—it was easy to believe that some sort of stability had at last come into this Parliament's af- fairs. The Government seemed more secure than it had been in months, having won the confi- dence of the Commons in the legislative program outlined in the Throne Speech. The war on poverty, the at- tractive welfare package known as the Canada Assistance Plan, the Company of Young Cana- dians—the whole bright :tone of the Throne Speech, could serve either' as &aerogram for a long session, of a manifesto for an early election. When Parliament resumes on April 26, Finance ,Minister Gor- don would be waiting with his new budget. it is • freely pre- dicted to contain tax cuts to create new jobs ,and to keep the economy growing. This speculation was fostered by the early tabling — before Easter recess—of a prebudget white papers. The papers con- tained some encouraging stet's.. tics, including an announcement that the Gross National Product has increased by, 8.9 per cent over 1963, and ' had reached $47,003,000,000. Mr. Gordon had also trim- med his budget deficit to $$3,- 000,000 for the fiscal year 1964- 65, the lowest defict since 1958; and for practical purposes a balanced budget considering a total budget in excess of $7,- 000,000,000. , Mr. Gordon's budget will al- most certainly contain some sunshine for voters. Coupled with the sunny program in the Throne Speech, it will make an elmost irresistable election pro- gram. At least the Liberals hope so. Many of them no longer have faith that the Government can gain much ground in a Parlia- ment in which it is a minority, and which. can, and does, make the Government look so' bad. The shadow of the Dorion report on charges of bribery in Government still hangs over the Liberals. But many Liber- als iberals feel that the shadow is less oppressive than it was„ and that the time will be ripe in early fall to call a general election and end the minority situation. The Government has emerge. ed .from the Throne Speech de- bafe,in a strengthened position. The Conservatives under John Diefenbaker are in difficulty, and so far have been unable to mount any attack which does not emphasize the" depth of their internal divisions. The closest they came was i during the Throne Speech de- bate, when Mr., Diefenbaker (Moved non -confidence in the Administration. He condemned Prime Minister Pearson for fail- ing to root out wrong -doing and political immorality in Govern- ment. No self-respecting opposition party could fail to rally behind a motion that was opposed to him.' All opposition parties combined to vote against the Government. •• That Should have been en- ough to defeat the Liberals, but unfortunately, or perhaps • for- tunately, a great many members failed to turn up for the vote. The Government beat the non- confidence motion by 106 votes to 93. Only 66 of the 05 Conserva- tives voted; only 104 of 128 Liberals. There were three' other non- confidence motions during the debate, one by each of the min- or parties. They posed no, threat to the Government. On the Social Credit motion there was noteven a record vote, since the required five mem- bers were not in the chamber to call for such a vote. In nearly 14 months of sitting, Parliament had taken one break of any length—a six-week re- cess' at Christmas. The strain of the abrasive Sag debate, the pension negotiations, the scandal charges, took its toll, particularly on Cabinet Ministers and other Metnbers with extra responsibilities such as opposition Party Leaders.
