Government liquor authorities oper­ ate some 650 retail stores in Canada* Existing Industries Important Too, Official Tells Meeting (Continued from page one.) spend money to attract new indus­ tries. "It’s a hard job and their efforts often fall by the wayside,” he said. He noted that there was no glam­ or attached to industrial promotion, "It’s a straight business proposition— either you sell a prospective industry on your community or you don’t. Wishful thinking is no good,” Mr, Turnbull said. "Industrial promotion costs money and every citizen in the town bene­ fits if you either expand an existing industry or bring in a new industry. We nt the department feel it’s the taxpayer’s money that should be spent. But you must set aside a con­ sistent amount. And it’s no good dis­ banding an industrial commission be­ cause it has not been successful im­ mediately. One year on a trial basis isn't enough,” he said. He pointed out that industries were coming to the Department of Plan­ ning and Development for assistance in ever increasing numbers, seeking information on new locations. "Sheaffer Pen is an example that a big industry can make a living away from the big centres—and the exodus is just starting. I don’t mean that Tor­ onto and Montreal will become ghost towns, but industries hot requiring heavy transports are moving from the big cities,”/ . Zoning Plan He described briefly the Provincial Government’s plan to zone Ontario into nine economic zones With an in­ dustrial manager in each zone. The plan is a purely voluntary one on the part of municipalities, he said, and the manager’s job would be to "sell” industries on locating in the zone. But he emphasized that it would still be up to the individual municipalities to do the final “selling” job on getting industries to locate in their communi- ties. Mr. Turnbull was introduced by Mayor J. E. Huckins and thanked by Peter MacEwan, chairman of the Jaycee industrial committee, Head table guests included A. W. Baker, who is a Department of Plan­ ning and Development representative, and Councillor James Donnelly, chair­ man of Town Council’s industrial committee.
