Manned Development
Formation of the Upper Grand
Development Association at New
Hamburg conceivably can have far-
reaching effects insofar as the econ-
omy of this district is concerned. It
is the first time an integregated ef-
fort has been made to determine in
a realistic manner the economic
problems facing a given district and
to seek a solution for them.
Sponsored by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Planning and Development,
the Regional Development program
Of which the newly organized Grand
Association is a part, come into
being because of the rapidly in-
creasing growth of various areas
within the Province.
In analyzing the record growth,
it was revealed that there were a
number of significant new trends
which required consideration and
Afrect action if the Province were to
consolidate its gains, reap the full
benefit of its opportunities in the fu-
ture and if these benefits were to be
shared by all people living in all parts
of the Province. The first of these,
trends was a widespread awareness
that haphazard development must
give way to long-range planning for
sound, orderly development; second-
ly, that planning on a municipal basis
was no longer adequate to keep pace
'with the rapid growth taking place
all over the Province; and, thirdly,
that many rnuoicipalities in seeking
-solutions to their growth problems
and in planning for future develop-
ment were pooling their efforts with
nearby municipalities a n d were
working as a group for the good of
the whole area. Taking all these
trends into consideration the Ontario
Government inaugurated its Region-
al Development Programme.
This Development Programme was
founded on the following basic prin-
ciple—not to replace, but to encour-
age and support local initiative on
the part .of the people directly con-
cerned in their efforts to solve their
own growth problems, and to lay
\ long-range plans for the sound, or-
derly development of the region in
which they live.
Endorsation of the Grand Organ-
ization must be subject to recogni-
tion that there will not necessarily be
any immediate direct benefit to any
particular community, when, as a re-
sult of the organization, the region as
a whole benefits, it is inevitable that
there will be a proportionate benefit
toeach portion of the region. Cou-
pled with this, of course, must be an
intensive and informed campaign,
carried on by each municipality to
indicate the peculiar advantages of
that particular community.
• Seaforth was well represented at
the meeting, and is represented on
the board of directors by Mayor Mc-
Master, who was elected one of the
three Huron directors.
He Belongs To Seaforth
All who come in contact with or
!now Seaforth's Fire Chief are ap-
preciative of the zealou's manner in
which he carries out his duties, and
his sincerity in eliminating condi-
tions in the district which may some
day contribute to fires.
There will be interest, then, in a
reference which the Exeter Times-
• Advocate made to his work. The
'only treuble is that the Exeter paper
s its readers that Chief John F..
Cott is fire chief in Clinton. This
never do! Seaforth has no hesi-
don in loaning Chief Scott to
er Clinton or Exeter to help
m with their fire -fighting- pro-
ms, but has no intention of per-
tting him to be removed perman-

•
a problern which, on the surface at
least, appears inwqrtant.
'"Many of the country schools
have only one door with the stairs
inside the building' Mr., Scott was
quoted recently in the Clinton News -
Record. 'In case of fire the pupils
wouldn't have a chance.'
"A blaze would probably start in
the basement, the fire chief says, and
would cut qff escape by the door.
Many school windows are covered
with heavy steel netting, which would
prevent escape. Anyway, the drop
from the windows is usually quite
high.
"Mr. Scott said he, hoped to seek
the help of the Department of Edu-
cation to get' adequate safety mea-
sures since school boards in Clinton
area 'will not do anything that might
cost a few dollars'.
"An escape slide would provide a
quick way of getting pupils out of
schools and would not cost more
than $100, he said.
"Ratepayers in this area might
check to see that such hazardous
-conditions do not exist here."
Where You/re Invited
Not many people go to homes of
others unless an invitation to do so
has been extended, the Kincardine
News reminds. As readers. When
this is forthcoming and accepted,
the visitors find their hosts kindly
and hospitable and the result may
be fast friendship.
The same is true of business rela-
lations, the New continues. "Peo-
ple are most likely to patronize stores
which invite them to visit. In other
words, business places which extend
the invitation through the form of
advertising are most likely to be a
better place and more profitable,
from customer standpoint, in which
to shop than with those who do not
advertise."
A slogan of long standing is: "Shop
where you're invited to shop."
What Other Papers Say :
A Public Enquiry
(Peterborough Examiner)
An inquest is never an agreeable
procedure, and for the family of the
victim of an accident it may seem to
be a needless ordeal.
But we have reached a point in this
province where we must use every
possible means of emphassizing the
dangers of road travel, in order that
people may take them seriously, and
accept their responsibilities when
driving.
Motor accidents kill more people
nowadays than wars, and it is gra-

The Trend Is Modern
(Acton Free Press
Every so often we hear a lament
for the old-fashioned country store.
Some fellow over 60 years old would
like to browse around a shopping
spot where they have dry goods on
one side and groceries on the other.
They yearn for that aroma of old
cheese, vinegar, onions and salt fish
combining with the smell of fresh
prints and ginghams. To give the
right atmosphere there must be Na
pot-bellied heater in the centre of the
store to make it the common forum.
Well, for those who crave these
spots rather than the big shopping
centres, they are still to be found.
We saw one not 75 miles from here

Ours is a little city, hugging

deep ravine bounded by limestone
cliffs over which it is now begin-

and west. One hundred and twen-

metropolis (Torento) it is spared

Nothing much happens here out
of the ordinary. People work,
play, go to the show, marry, raise
families, go to church, and to
lakeshore cottages in summer.
Business is done along six to
eight blocks by merchants, trades-
men, 'financial and professional
men, and agents of one kind and
another.
We have well-built schools, good
teaching staffs, the usual propor-
tion of churches and lodges, a

Ours is just an ordinary Cana-

with a comfortable, productive
and pleasant living.
Life with us is not rushed as in
the big city. Neighbots know each
other. There are no long rides
across town to use up the big
part of an evening. Nerves are
not frayed by bumper' to bumper
traffic. There is time to talk, to
discuss life's daily problems quiet-
ly, to sit on the lawn, perhaps to
watch the gulls on the breakwa-
ter. Community concerts bring
good music to town. Clubs, home
and school associations, church
activities keep time well filled.
We have our civic problems and
our arguments, of course. There
are those who seek to cast asper-
sion at our city. But we are pro-
gressing steadily. We are not
stagnating. So far we have car-
ried on public business with high
regard for the public good, mark-

away;
Gone are the days of the early
morning voice;
Gone is the saw—it's name was.

A great industrialist, upon his,
return from a visit to Moscow,
was besieged with questions. He -
finally developed a standard an-
snwer: "The four nicest things
in Russieare the caviar, the Bal-
let Russe, the subway, and the -
permit to leave the country." ,
Bidding ceased suddenly while
the auctioneer examined a slip of
paper that had been handed up to
him. "Gentlemen," he said, "I
understand that someone among
those present has lost a wallet
containing $200 in bank notes. He
is prepared to offer $50 for its re-
covery."
A Voice: "51!"
The time had come for Angus -
McTavish and his family to go•
home after visiting in the city, so,
Angus called a cabbie.
"How much to take the whole
family to the station?" he asked.
The cabbie, knowing he was up
against a bargain hunter, replied:
"It'll be $2 each fortyourself and
your wife—and the four kids, of
course, can all ride free"
Turning to the children, Angus
directed: "Pile in, kids. Your
Ma and I will go by subway."
Judge: -"Why didn't you want to
serve on this jury?"
Talisman: "Because I got a
feeling that man there's guilty."
Judge: "Tut, tut, that's not the
defendant, it's the Crown At-
torney."
