some farm buildings, complete with
hydro, telephone and radio, command
well -kept lawns. Tourism has invaded the
picturesque communities, with cottages
taking up the lake frontage. Sub -divisions
and mobile parks have sprung up. The
youth of the township, on returning from
Provincial Colleges and Universities, pro-
mote better soil conservation, produce bet-•
ter crops, breed better herds, raise better .
flocks.
Although there are provisions for pro-
gress, Colborne Township, well protected
by, zoning by-laws, is primarily a pro-
sperous farming community. The dream
of John Galt, the Scottish novelist, founder
of the Huron Tract, has become a reality.
