agency. Wingham already has one such development in Merkley Goodyears with the local
the "Hillcrest" area, but the shortage of homes still seems
to be acute. It is unlikely that the problem can be alleviated
in the near future, but it should certainly be considered in
the town's long-range plans.
1. *
Our Community Includes a Big District
Returning to Dr. Pleva as a source of editorial inspir-
ation, he mentioned the fact that community growth can
only be successfully realized when there is strong bond of
god will and understanding between the people of the
town and the residents of the farming area, He was there-
by making a point which needs continually to be emphas-
ized in towns such as this. The rural and urban communi-
ties must ever grow closer together for their interests lie
along precisely the same lines. You can no longer different-
iate between the farmer and the storekeeper. They have
both graduated to the general class of business man, Rising
costs and the more common use of machinery has changed
the picture entirely. The farmer who runs his business
properly and the merchant or manufacturer are all in the
same category. liven more important, the farm people have
the same ambitions, the same tastes and the same aspira-
tions for the children as we in the towns, Our futures must
inevitably go hand-in-hand.
Though communities the size of ours are well supplied
with organizations which build better understanding be-
tween their own citizens, and though the farming people
now have a very efficient organization in their Vederation
and their Vann Vorums, we have none to many organiza-
'dons which bring town and country people together with
the object of furthering understanding. It, is hardly likely
that a completely new group is needed, but attention to
the subject of ruraktrban gatherings could he given by the
existing organizations in each section of the community.
. Twice within as many weeks we, have heard speat;:ers
refer thoughtfully to the future of this town. Inspector
Kinkead spoke of the requirements of \\Ingham -as far. as!
schools are concerned. Dr. Pleva, of Western University,.
;'."ho was the guest speaker at the joint Kin-Lions meeting
on Friday evening, reviewed the general future of the coin -
