The following is text of address given by Mr. Harvey M. Dagg, sup- ervisor of Business Development for the Bank of Nova Scotia, at the gerr- eral meeting of Markham District Chamber of Commerce, last week. The subject of his address was “Confidence In Your Community". Ile sai dconfidence according to Web- set. is deiined iir part as “That in which faith is put" whereas the sante dictionary has this to say about “Community” * “A body of people living in the same place under the same laws.” One subject therefore, means in effect, that “Faith must be put in the people living in one Corn- munity." Faith implies understand- r'ormLition of value and Chambers of Commerce. Industrial Commissioners. ('rtrrrcillors and others interested in civic development keep in steady touch with us exchanging leads whiL‘Ii may be of value. l’i‘ogrcss lirings Responsibility Here let me point out most deliri- itely that industrial progress brings rcsponsibdity. IJrcreased population rerguircs increased i'ac'rlitcs, more schools, better water supplcs. adeâ€" quate tire and police protection, in short more taxes. What must be re- membered. however, is that enlarged payrolls, greater population, more industries will soon compensate for the higher taxes. Coiiimnnities on the nrarch must make arrangements to supply these irecessities in ad- vance since industry requires ade- quate services before it will decide on airy one locality. Another necessity in our modern you have to oiTer to companies seekâ€" ing irew locations. Perhaps you think I am wandering from my :Lilti‘t‘i. I do not thiirk so. I feel strongly that in order to be really etl'ective. Confidence in your Community means also confidence in your country, and gentlemen. we have at Dominion in which we can have coniidciice, a country of which we should be proud. not given to tlag waving but at times We Canadians are I think we should consider some of the blessings which we have and give grateful thanks to God for the Comâ€" munity in which we live and the Country of which it-is a part. We should also cherish the free- dom which is ours and be constantly on the alert to defend that freedom from philosophies of government which would slowly but gradually, like a creeping vine, smother indiv- idual initiative and regiment our lives. I make no apologies for my views that this community, this coun- try of ours will best grow under a system of free enterprise where our citizens by the use of their imagin- ations and individual eITOi'ts will ex- TIIE LIBERAL.

Harmony and progress can only be achieved by each individual in that home subju- gating themselves in some measure to the good of all. I do not mean that all must agree on all subjects. Progress comes only from full and free discussion of all matters relat- ing to the Community. Yes men are little help in making plans and car- rying them to fruition. Communities are in effect semi- iiidependent states, governed demo- cratically and Democracy is “Gov- ernment by the People" or majority control. Hence, while free and open decided upon every resident should get behind them and support them to the fullest possible extent even though in the early stages of con- sideration your ideas may have dif- fered from those finally decided upâ€" on. We are not always right and once a decision has beed made thel will of the majority should prevail.I Community pride is an essential‘ factor in developing any town 01' city and pride in oiie's own town must be fostred if that town is to grow and progress. In this fostering of pride, the members of the Chamber of Commerce take a foremost part ably assisted, I have no doubt, by your service club, women‘s organizâ€" ations and your churches. Province Helps The Government of the Province of Ontario is to be congatulated on the steps it has taken to assist the small- er communities of Ontario. The Trade and Industry Branch of thel Department of Planning and Devel- opment located at 145 Yonge Street rn Toronto under the Minister, Will- iam Greisinger, and under the cap- able guidance of Col. F. J. Lyle, the Director, is willing and anxious to assist you in any way possible in Seâ€" cuiing new industries for your town. You also have responsibilities inl this connection. You must be able to supply full and complete informa- tion on your available facilities â€" factory sites, power, water, labour, housing, recreational facilities andl other features which would make Markham a desirable place in which to locate. To assist you in this, the Province has prepared a small book- let entitled “Guide to Industrial Planning for the Smaller Commun- ities of Ontario”. may be obtained by applying to the Department of Planning and Devel- file iii the Department since it is in direct touch with concerns both in Canada, England and the United States who are seeking new oppor- tunities of expansion. The chartered banks can also as- sist municipalities in industrial de- velopment by providing them with These booklets‘ industry finally decided on an Easâ€" tern Ontario Town and the factor that led to the decision was the pro- vision which the towrr had made to provide playing fields and an indoor skating and hockey arena. No long- er caii labour be ignored and with shorter working hours more time is spent outside the factory hence the need for adequate facilities. Much can be accomplished in beauâ€" tifying a town by a gr-Oup such as yours with very little expenditure of funds. A recent issue of the “Readâ€" er’s Digest” tells the story of a woâ€" man in a mid-western State of the iress and beauty. Flower seeds testing but a few cents a package were scattered at dusty corners of the roadway. Litter was gathered tip and burned or bur- ied. Tlie_idea caught on, other cit- izens took a hand and her village is lit\\' a model of beauty and cleanli- ness. The effects of her work have spread far beyond the boundaries of her own settlement and she has been called to assist and advise many other communities in similar plans. I am not for a moment suggesting that Markham needs any such plan; I merely use the illustration to dem- onstrate what one woman did â€"â€" she had confidence in 'her community. Confidence in your community should be extended to confidence in your county, your province, and your Dominion. I do not need to tell you that we in Ontariv'are very fortunate people. We live in the most pros- perous province of Canada and are blessed with virtually everything needed to supply the materials of liV- ing. You here, are in a district not- ed for its mixed farming and dairy- ing. You are close to your markets and also to your requirements of manufactured goods. You are inâ€" deed fortunate that through your industry and that of your father‘s. you have helped to create the condiâ€" tions which you now enjoy. To go farther afield we are partâ€" ners in a country whose future is second to none. Canada is on the threshold of an era of expansion which will carry our Dominion to great heights. Most other countries are already heavily populated, with natural resources developed almost to the saturation point. \Vle are only beginning. As one example, I have only to mention the opening of the new oil- Tlie search is spreading to Saskatâ€" chewan and now that the Provincial Government has given assurance that there will be no expropriation or soâ€" cialization of the oil and gas indusâ€" try, two large companies have anâ€" nounced their intention to re-extend their operations in that province.

Your bank manager is a citizen of your community and shares with you in the growth and progress .vhicli your town makes. In order to assist industry and communities most Canadian banks have established Business Develop- ment Departments. The principal functions of these departments are to assist both municipalities and iii- dustries in bringing them together. in furnishing both with authentic ac- curate information which is necess- ary to both sides. The staff of these Business Development Departments market. Following this oil development, will come the opening of the mineral areas of the Great Slave regions which, I venture to predict. will par- allel the Northern Ontario mineral Belt. Municipalities Share This future development of Canada will he shared by aggressive municâ€" ipalities and if Markham desires to participate. the Council, the Chamber of Commerce. tile Service Club and all other social organizations must your community and to publicize the which attractions and advantages lie ever- alcrt to sing tiie praises of, as in the past as partners in a free and democratic way of life. “Musts” Necessary To summarize, may I say: 1. To grow industrially, you must be able to furnish quickly and ac- curately full information covering the advantages and facilities your town has to offer concerns seeking factory location. 2. To grow industrially you must be prepared to furnish the increased services required to take care of more population. The services in- clude schools, fire and police protecâ€" he prepared to co-operate with in- dustry, to understand their problems, to help them in many ways, even to the extent of providing at times “risk capital.” 4. To grow industrially you must believe in the future of your town, your province, your country. : § E i i t t 3 2 t z t t l YON GE STREET r i 000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000 x 00000000000000000000000000000000000000 VACATIONING?
