"A careful evaluation must be
made of the communities power
structure," said A. J. Gillies,
secretary -manager of the
Kitchener Chamber of
Commerce, in a recent address
to the Rotary Club of Goderich.
"The doers must be identified,
also the should -Boers, the
can -doers, and those damnable
don't doers, the; leaches on a
community,.and-all communities
have their share. The retailer
who care less. does nothing to
improve his premises or
community, and cries the most;
the junky service station
operator, the dog in the manger
manufacturer; or businessman,
or *the professional man who
takes all but gives nothing, the
politician who is so negative
with his views and so busy with
buttering his personal prestige
that he can't see past his
reflected image — these are
the leaches and you,pan easily
identify them. They arethe ones
who will ruin a community the
quickest," Mr. Gillies continued.
"Within ,/ your community,
you must mobilize those who
are willing and able to
contribute time, . money and
know-how to the effort. Usually
they are painfully few, but what
is lacking in number can be
overcome by devotion and
zeal,"the secretary -manager
advised. •
"Planned economic
development is the life blood of
your community," he stated.
"Economic development is the
obtaining of a new restaurant, a
.new motel, a shopping plaza, a
new industry, the -expansion of
your port facilities — anything
that will create new assessment
and new jobs."
The Kitchener speaker went
.on to explain, "commercial and
industrial - development is
necessary but it must be well
thought out, well researched and
carried out by responsible
people. Anything you do or do
not do in industrial
development, no matter' how
well or how poorly, will have .an
inevitable impict upon the
econorhic, the social and the
whole future of this
community," said Mr. Gillies.
"1 must say that _ the
cancerous' effects of a
community suffering from a lack
of economic development
cannot and should ..; not be
tolerated by the power structure
of any community."
"A question that I would
suggest be asked is, one, that
demands some soul searching on
the part of "the community. The
question ' is simply whether or
not your community is ready for
industrial development. It isn't
enough to receive designation by
the province -and then sit back
and wait for industry to rush in
and take advantage of the
designation."
"Far too many communities
that are actityely trying to attract
industry have not taken the time
and effort to identify the type
of industry they want, in their
town, or more importantly, the
type of industry which, has a
locational fit. for the particular
community and which can
prosper, there," Mr. Gillies
stated.
•
"The development of a proper
industrial park is a cd -operative
effort of all concerned. The
industrial development
committee, the planner, the city
engineer, the railway,if one is
used, the public utilities
_corennission and business., all
working together for the
betterment of the community. It
is not necessary to hire outside
help — — assistance is all around
ifs you ask for it;" Mr. Gillies
advised theiRotarians.
"It is imperative that all
citizens think progressively,
become involved In community
affairs, decide what they want
for their'comrnunity then go and
get it. Here 'I must suggest a
community the size of Goderich.
should. not go after the large
industries,„ but dont turn them
down if they do,come along, but
you should be after the small to
medium size companies, which
would not seriously affect your
school, housing, or utilities. It
has been. known that large
companies have done just this to
smaller communities. The 15 to
75 employee firm is the kind
you would want." ,
"Usually a community that
has been experiencing problems
with its economic development
has not developed the basic
requirement for success. These
requirements are — first, a real
and honest desire •to want new
industry; second, a . basic
program to attract new industry;
third, knowing how to handle a
prospect when the interest has
been generated," said.Mr. Gillies.
Gillies. -

"Economic development is
the life blood of your
community: It generates growth
and thereby ' retains your,
younger generation, Nit brings
additional amenities to your
community and ensures the
future. It is not an answer to all
the problems of a community
but at least steady 'economic
development does not breed
unemployment, vacant stores,
lack of funds for community
development and all the other
ailments of a dying town," said
Mr. :Cillies in conclusion
"I would 'far rather deal with
the problems of a growing
community . than with the
problems 'of a dying
community."
