PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA—The inequity and economic waste of disparate de- velopment, which is poisoning our big cities and starving our small towns, has been sharply criticized by Marvin Howe, Conservative MP for Wellington- Huron, He has been arguing the ease for his home community of 1, - 200 souls living at Arthur, whose railway station the CPR plans to close down, leaving it depend- ent upon the station at Grand Valley, 12 miles away. The consequences of such closure, as Mr. Howe sees it, would fit neatly but undesirably into the pattern of making our big cities bigger, and our small towns smaller, Speaking with both wisdom and perspicacity, ,Mr. Howe has been questioning both inside the House and outside whether it is in the national interest -- even Marvin Howe attacks the CPR for dosing station "BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR," says Maxine Morrison, presi- dent of the ladies' division of the North Huron Broomball Association as she presents the runners-up award to the Bluth entry following their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Whitechurch in the Centennial tournament which conclud- ed Tuesday night at Belgrave, The tournament included fourteen area teams competing over a five-day period. —Advance-Times Photo, GORRIE--St. Stephen's Wt At held its February meeting at the home of Mrs. Norman Wade on Thursday afternoon, Mrs, Qer-P don Underwood led in the de- votions. Correspondence was read in-, eluding a letter from a new prayer partner, Miss Enid Long- well of Colinton, Alberta. Mrs. Wm. Austin read the minutes. Mrs. Earl Underwood read Scrip- ture and roll call was answered by naming a missionary bishop or a well-known bishop. Plans were made to hold the annual St, Patrick's dinner on March 11th. There will also be a bake sale and bazaar. Programs were made out for the coming year. The name of the Woman's Auxiliary has been changed to Anglican Church Women and the organization will be known by that name. The rector, the Rev. H. D. Jenkins read the first chapter from a book by the Rev. R, Pal- mer, "His Worthy Praise", which will be used from month to month, Mr. Jenkins closed the meeting with prayers.

Bennett. threatened water supply and ov- erloaded sewers. In Britain, industries are sim- ilarly being encouraged to es- tablish in underdeveloped areas, while new cities are beingplan- ned and built to take the strain off old overcrowded cities. WHAT ARTHUR OFFERS • Now look at Arthur, he said to me. " We have streets with lighting and sidewalks, church-. es, schools, a sewage system and even a swimming pool, more than sufficient to accom- modate a much enlarged popu- lation, In fact we have a large new technical school serving the community, but no suitable industrial employment for its graduates. We need some of the industries which, say, Tor- onto could do without," But despite these attractions — and the clean air too -- in- dustries will not come to Arthur if the railway station is closed. Air pollution, traffic con- gestion, water pollution and ris- ing costs are among the most serious red flags of warning fly- ing all over Canada today. All arc closely tied in with the complete breakdown in urban development through lack of planning. Mr. Howe is a good Canad- ian in pointing this out: he is a good booster for Arthur and sim- ilar smaller communities in stressing their attractions. -- The Guelph Mercury. Geo. Hamilton, Wm.

Abraham. in the Interest of Torontonians that snore industry, more residents, more jobs, snore pole lotion, more smog, more over- crowding, snore housing short- ages and more living expense should be loaded onto that met- ropolitan complex. He cites Toronto as a con- crete example, net to be anti,- Toronto but because it typically represents the already over- large cities not only in Canada but all over the world. Would it not be preferable, he asks, for our smaller com- munities to be expanded in- stead? Successive federal govern- ments here have dismally fail- ed to study Canada in the light of its requirements, its potent- ialities and above all its most desirable order of priorities. An overlooked priority, Mae. via Howe believes, isthe mount- ing problem of urban develop- ment. He argues persuasively that the federal government has a responsibility for co-ordinat- ing this, to even out the oppor- tunities for Canadians in all parts of Canada. He says 85 per cent of the citizens of Toronto earn $3, - 500 a year or less on which to support their families; many of these cannot afford to buy the minimum house, which now costs at least, $15,000. Tins high price is in part attribut- able to over-crowding; for in Toronto a serviced lot costs be- tween $6, 000 and $10, 000 in most districts, and this skyroc- kets the cost of a home. Mr. Howe cites as examples of better governments, more alert to this grave and growing problem, those of Japan and Britain. The Japanese government, he tells me, has instituted a system of taxes and subsidies to halt the growth of that country's three larger cities, and to dir- ect development elsewhere, In those cities, a special tax is levied on the construction of new buildings and plants, and another tax is levied on addi- tional acquisition of automo- biles. On the other hand, plants moving out of these cities to locate elsewhere receive sub- sidies and tax concessions. These steps have been made es- sential by rapid city growth which has throttled traffic, Gorrie News Items Remember how easy it was to open and pour from a pack- age before the invention of the new, quick-opening box with the improved pouring spout?

Since the Key Tag Service was launched in 1946, 123, 436 sets of lost car keys have been found and returned to their rightful owners. Those who direct the activi- ties of the Key Tag Service point out that in addition to keeping 43 war amps busy all year in protected employment, the profits from the sale of the key tags make possible a Can- ada-wide war amputation branch program of meeting the needs of local war amputees in job placement, specialized re- creation and benevolent work. The funds raised also support the war amps national program for rehabilitation and after- care of war amputees; aid to their widows, orphans and de- pendents; artificial limb re- search and liaison work with civilian amputees, General Manager of the War Amps Key Tag Service is Allan Piper, himself a double ampu- tee, who uses steel hooks in- stead of the hands he lost in an explosion. lie described the Key Tag Service as the" biggest on-you-honor project in Can- ada': Tags are mailed to car owners without any payment, but recipients are asked to send back 00 cents for a double set of key tags, or 35 cents for a single tag. Last year 14,299 sets of car keys were found and returned to their owners. Address of the Key Tag Ser- vice is 140 Merton Street, Tor- onto 7, Ontario. Choose a five year savings goal.
