Malt Edgar Huron Zone Asks Incentive Program For New Industry A resolution which expresses widespread opinion in Huron County was passed by the board of directors of the Midwestern Ontario Development Associ- ation at its meeting last week. The resolution was presented to Zone J. (Huron) by the Gode- rich Industrial Commission af- ter it had received endorsement by the representatives from Clinton, Exeter, Gocicrich, Sea - forth, Wingham and Grand Bend and was worded as follows: "That the Zone Committee, in consideration of the difficul- ties experienced by the commit- tees within the Zone in attract- ing new industry, request aid from the Board of Directors of Midwestern Ontario Develop- ment Association in establish- ing some progratnme of incen- tives in the county which would stimulate development and thus alleviate the retarded rate of industrial expansion in our ur- ban communities." The resolution effectively voices the general feeling that even though there has been con- siderable industrial expansion within the general area com- prising the Midwestern Ontario Development Association, lit- tle of this growth has been lo- cated in Huron County. Most of the new industries have settled in Waterloo and the othercoun- ties of the east. With federal government at- tention at present focused on in- creasing employment oppor- tunities in areas where the re- cords indicate a higher than average rate of jobless persons, the implication of the resolu- tion is that some form of incen- tive program should be estab- lished in Huron to attract em- ploying industries to the county. One Moment, Please REV. C. M. JARDINE, WINCHAM, ONTARIO November 11 is observed in Canada as a Day of Remem- brance when citizens gather around a memorial to honor the memory of men and women who fought and died in two World Wars. The number of those who fought in these con- flicts is decreasing gradually, particularly of those who were veterans of World War I. The "grim reaper" has taken his toll of the survivors. All veterans who remain would testify to their own per- sonal conviction that their goal in fighting these wars was to win a victory for an enduring peace. For centuries men and na- tions have longed for peace. Peoples everywhere long for the day when the prophesy of Isaiah will become a reality. He says: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning -hooks: na- tion shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any rnore. (Is- aiah 2:4). In addition Isaiah gives the conditions for peace. He says: "The Lord's house shall be es- tablished in the top of the mountains.... and all nations shall flow unto it He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His paths. 'Then' they shall beat their swords into plowshares. True peace can only be- come a reality when nations are willing to settle their disputes without resort to war and re- solve their differences through the assistance of an organiza- tion established to maintain and preserve peace in the world, namely the United Nations. Although conflicts have bro- ken out in the world since 1945 Fall Encampment At Baptist Church The Fall Encampment ser- vice of Pioneer Girls was held in the Wingham Baptist Church, on Sunday afternoon.

We can be very thankful that the United Nations has been successful in its efforts to pre- vent another world war. It is the hope and prayer of all thinking people today that future generations shall never experience the fear, hatred and destruction generated by a war which with modern atomic wea- pons could bring about the death of millions of innocent people and even the annihila- tion of the human race.
