words It would be interesting to by con jecture what influence the ex pansion of the town will have on the Industry of farming carried on in this area The proposed HO houses In the subdivision along with the ordinary building program car ried on could odd very close to people to the population of the town within the next couple of years The question is will the farmer receive any benefit from the natural growth of the community In these days when the yen for doing things and going places including the pursuit of happiness tends to obscure the waste in terms of time and en ergy involved in having to 20 miles between home and work bench possibly there are advan tages in being say miles from a major industrial centre Nevertheless even in a material sense Canadians do not live by bread alone I am riot sure that I either the wisdom or the logic under which the Newmarket industrial stature as indicated in the above story to the light in dustry or bantam class It seems reasonable to assert that another Canadians at Newmarket could hardly avoid improving the home demand for food and fiber Of course in this matter as in most it is pos sible to as the proverb puts it have too much of a good thing Three examples occur to my mind See Torontos perennial traffic headache the civic jit ters disturbing Edmonton city in Canada and the uneasy and global burden carried by our great and good neighbor to the south after sitting up nights planning to bo the No trading nation Wasnt it an American philosopher who warned wist fully If the rich were rich the poqir fancy As 1 see the developing situa tion the longrange future of the farmer looks good with the na tions population movjng for ward by better than every day As the urban millions in crease their dependence upon the basic services of agriculture also moves In the same direction It just wont be good business to either forget the farmer in the future or remember him merely to exploit him One Of Them i l- OCLOCK
