n dis'a.ppearing. Several centres
have,- recently begun construction
of community centrefi where mem-
'hers of the community, whether
they live in' villages or on the
farm, can meet in a common home.
A prominent feature of rural life
has been the decline of village
communities, The population of
incorporated towns and villages in
Huron declined, from 13.746 in 1881'
to 13,162 in -1941. Many hamlets
disappeared completely. About 80
per cent of the villages a.nd towns
of Boron depend for their existetirce
on the business of farmers. 'rhe
decline in agricultural populatiou,'
