REPORTS JOBS SCARCE A trip through the new tobaoco belt in Norfolk county is a revelation to anyone who has not been there for a few years. , Formerly there were many aband- oned (farms in a region 'of.light, sandy soils, and the farmers whe still re- mained obtained with ,difficulty a bare living, Today one finds a general air of prosperity which has brought about such a transformation that the .country is scarcely rec•agnizable. And the prosperity has extended from the farms into the towns. The little village of Delhi with a popula- tion of 600 ten years ago, now is a booming town of 11700. Rows upon rows of 'neat cottages have sprung •up almost overni'gh't. Real estate offices. are numerous. Farm lands are being subdivided into town lots. A large new theatre and new stores and :busi- ness ;places tell of rapid expansion. The town of Simcoe, twelve miles 'east .of 'Delhi, has added several thousand to its population. Simcoe has a rapidly ,growing 'business district with new gleaming 'glass fronts son the stores. There are large new banks, theatres and other 'bufldfings. Tie -sleepy Old town has disappeared. That is one si•cie of the 'picture. An- other viewpoint was obtained last week by a young anan from Walton who went dawn there looking for a job. He had 'heard that work was plentiful and wages • hi'gh. The only trouble was that ;hundreds of others had also heard about it. Alt Delhi there was .a big crowd Of men, all seeking work. They were told there was no work there 'bot j• lbs were plentiful at-Simcoe. At Simone they were told they could get work at Del- hi. Booth placeshad so much help of- fered they 'were saying anything to get rid of the mea. A't Til'lsorrlburg he sew fifty men around where a 'build- ing was going ug. A'li` were looking for jobs, he said. 'r'A job couldn't be had for love or money," Ire said., This new tobacco growing 'belt is the. location of an old lance 'bottom and extends along a well defined line south of Aylmer, Tillsonburg, Nor- wich, Vanessa and, Simcoe. A survey df the area was ,completed in 1927. Since that time there ,has been rapid expansion each year of the acreage 'planted. Tobacco has .been grown .in the Leamington district, at the west- ern end of Lake Erie; for more than twenty years.
