But win they, the young- people ot yoar acquaintance, be here tomorrow? Very largely that depends on the opportunities, the job opportunities, here at home. The next time you hear bf a young man or young woman leaving for an opportunity elsewhere, ask yourself: Is this trip necessary? It'a not practical to expect each of ns to start a business or manafactaring operation just so our own sons and daughters wiB have work.

What- we can do, though, is to contribute our efforts to attracting new industry here and to help existing industry to expand locally. We can let everyone know of our town's industrial advantages. We can show oar appreciation of present industry and see that its needs are met. If we do these things, we'll be making opportunities here at home, and that's the right place for "opportunities anytime. Join hands with your local industrial develop- ment organization and the Michigan Economic Development Department to help yoar community prosper.
