SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, APRIL 22, 1965
A Challenge fo
Hon. 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.

"But to this charm and growth po-

add the confidence of John Galt, found-

add the vision of Viscount Goderich,
Chancellor of The Exchequer, who
sold the land in Huron Tract to The
Canada Company. You must add the

the . ability to move with the times".

face up to and match the faith in the
future which its first citizens possess-
ed. - -
As far as Seaforth is concerned it
is a challenge that can be met. 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. '
Immigration Minister Trem-
blay, Industry Minister Drliry,
Veterans Affairs Minister Teil-
let, and Secretary of State, La-
montagne, all has decent spells
