It was essential that large capital should he invested in industry and that large profits should result, Oshawa's industries might well be held up as an example to those in other places hecause of the spirit displayed by their owners and oper- ators, and the generous disposition of wealth by those who have made money through manufacturing here, 'The gnests of the evening had not risen themselves without causing the youth of Oshawa to rise with them, said Mr. Fowke, as he pointed out that the hoys of our own schools and own associations, the boys of yesterday, were the aclive forces in our shops and offices, and the boys of today would do likewise tomorrow, Canada spelled opportu- nity for the youth of today, and the young man who was not alive to his opportunities today was not fitted ! for the responsibilities of the future. lit was a splendid feature that the | manufacturing men had contributed to the larger life of this community and of Canada 'as a whole. Speak- ing of the future Mr. Fowke stated that not many with any certainty could say what it might be or bring forth. People of today were only a little over 100 years from the great inventors of such essential things as steam, yet what marvels had since been accomplished by sach men as Marconi and Edison, and the now great radio telephone and wireless telegraph. Who was going to place a limit on the inventions and discov- eries of man for the benefit of the race? In closing Mr. Fowke ex- pressed the conviction that the suc- cess that had followed Oshawa's manufacturers and general progress in the past, would continue and be | more fully realized in the future, (and that Canada would continue to be, a manufacturing and important world power. ! Export Trade a Boon | Tracing the history of the guests | of the evening from boyhood as help- {ers in their father's humble carriage Brooklyn Eagle: "Have you any|g,,, to the position they now pe- | eupy as heads of a giant industry in { Oshawa, Deputy-Reeve F. L. Mason, | responding to the toast, "Our Man- | ufacturers," paid tribute to them as {men of vision, and men who had | contributed very largely to the | town's advancement. It was hard [to realize what the export business {of the General Motors meant to | Oshawa. Had it not come when it | aia, the town would have been in {much the same position last winter | as many other towns, but instead, as {the result of that business, very [little had to be spent for. relief. Mr. | Mason recalled the great strides made in manufacturing in Oshawa in the last 20 years. Labor trou- {bles were practically unknown, be- | cause of the improvements made to {industrial plants and the betterment of workingmen's conditions, two fac- tors that could not help but produce *| contented workmen. The Workmen's Compensation Act he regarded as a fortunate thing for working men and while it cost manufacturers a lot of money he considered it not an ex- penditure but a dividend. Factory assessment, which was $284,000 in 1912, and $1,345,985 in 1921, re- flected the town's industrial growth, and this growth, he thought, was due very largely to the co-operation of the business men of Oshawa who had treated the manufacturers most fairly. Another instance of factory expansion was that while in 1914 the Oshawa Railway handled 111, 000 tons of freight, they handled 270.000 in 1920. Mr. Mason hoped that this co-operation of the business men and citizens at large would con- tinue, and that all would endeavor to make it as pleasant for manufac- turers as they could. To the toast to "Our Manufactur- ers," Mr. Fred Hatch, well known pioneer manufacturer of Whitby, also spoke. fie watched with keen interest Oshawa's growth, and hop- ed that its manyfacturers who hac made it an important centre would continue to prosper. Mr. Hatch pre- dicted that Oshawa in the next ten years would double its population. The *s kindly references to Oshawa were loudly applauded. Character Real Worth To Mr. G. D. Conant fell the hon- or of proposing the toast to "Our Guests," and he did it well. He re- garded it as a great honor, on behalf of those present, and of the citizens of Oshawa at large, to propose a toast and pay compliment and felici- tations to the guests of the evening. This was a fine and memorable event, when citizens in every walk of life, of all religions and political faith were able to come together on one common footing to pay homage to two worthy citizens. Feelingly Mr. Conant referred to the absence of the late Robert McLaughlin and how he was missed, but there was cause for rejoicing because there had been left with us two worthy sons of a worthy sire. = Mr. Conant Goods ed.

It had been said that every great in- stitution was the glongated shadow of some great man, and so it could be said, with all due deference to other industries, that Oshawa was the elongated shadow of the Gen- eral Motors of Canada, hecause the development of that industry had heen one of the outstanding things in Oshawa's growth in the past 25 years. The presence of so many here on this occasion was evidence of the appreciation of the citizens | for all that the McLaughlins had done for the town and community, And what had been accomplished hy them was the result of sheer merit. It was not to what the guests of the evening had done, or what they pos: sessed but what they are that he de- sired to pay tribute, Mr. Conant empha- sized. Whatever aspirations had been attained in the past, success gained or associations formed, these could never replace the affections and es- teem of the citizens of Oshawa, Mr. Conant closed by reciting an appro- priate pogm, "A Toast to a Man's| Man," appearing elsewhere in this issue. Reviews Industrial History The banquet hall echoed with cheers and the strains of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," as Mr. R. S. McLaughlin arose to respond to the toast, "Our Guests." Deeply affect-! ed, Mr. McLaughlin stated that his| position on this occasion was so un- natural, the circumstances so un- usual and the warmth of the recep- tion given him and his brother so great that he found it difficult to find words to express his appreciation.

Two fac-! tors were noted that kept the Mr-| Laughlin industry in Oshawa, de-| spite many inducements from out-| side places, one the starting of the] Oshawa Railway, and the other the| generous action of the town in loan-| ing $50,000 after the great fire that destroyed the plant with loss of over | $100,000.

Sold by Wm. H. Karn Oshawa, Ont. ment in Oshawa of the General Motors export trade, meaning the shipping to all parts of the world of cars made in Oshawa. The ex- had heen in his mind for many years, and on all occasions, at Board meetings in season and out, he had always advocated that Oshawa was the place for the export business. The result was that last summer the members of the main executive in the United States were induced to look over the plants and prepared estimates of produc- tion, and they decided that Oshawa should get the export husiness on the 6th of September. An order was given for 6,000 cars for this year, and while it was calculated to box only 25 cars a day, it was not long before that number increased to forty, fifty and higher, until it was 100 per day right now. Mr, McLaughlin recalled that many Oshawa boys were still with the in- dustry, he wished there were more, and, he declared, amid applause, he would not swap them with any other of the General Motors Corporation organizations. Some of the finest, cleanest and smartest men to be found anywhere were associated with the local industry. Today automo: biles were heing shipped to practi- cally every known quarter of the globe. Only this week one had even gone to Berlin, Germany. Mr. McLaughlingquoted some interesting figures whi showed the growth of the carriage and automobile bhusi- ness. The output of the factories included 280,000 carriages and | sleighs and 138,000 automobiles, | which, if placed together would | reach from Oshawa to Japan a dis- tance of 7,700 miles. The proces- sion would take 333 days to pass Joe Welsh's store at the rate of one in 30 seconds, The sum of $22. 000 was first considered a big business for one year in carriages, $942,000 heing the biggest year. Today the business done was over $30,000,000 a year, and during the business career of the factories $20,000,000 in wag- es had been paid out, the pay roll for March includmg the Walkerville plant being $509,000. Mr. Mcl.augh- adlan manufacturers, and he was glad to say that there was hardly a manufacturer who was not giving that co-operation 100 per cent, An interesting announcement made by Mr. McLaughlin was that very soon there would be on hand a mov- ing picture showing the complete operations of the export trade, from the manufacture of and shipment of cars from Oshawa until their arriv- al at the assembling plant in London, Eng. Business was picking up in the United States said Mr. McLaugh- lin, quoting a General Motors Cor- poration official, and in the ordinary run of events it should be reflected in Canada in six or eight months. Business should therefore he good next year, there were lots of orders ahead now and the summer pros- pects were good. Speaking of the future of the automobile industry, Mr. McLaughlin, after quoting some convincing figures showing the de- mand for cars in England and other countries, declared that they would always be in demand because of their great public benefit and their place in filling that desire for motion that , had always been and always would be in the human race, There was no. doubt of the future of the aufomobile business if it was run properly, and in the days to come it would he the survival of the fittest. In closing Mr. McLaughlin again ex- pressed appreciation on behalf o himself and his brother for this kindly expression of regard. What- ever in the past had been done to further the interests of Oshawa had heen done willingly and the same policy would guide the future. Education Worid's Need The address of Mr. Geo, W. Me- Laughlin, who followed his brother in response to the toast of "Our Guests," was a masterpiece, and as he rose to speak he was received with applause and "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Fresh from a trip abroad, visiting fourteen foreign countries, Mr. McLaughlin was able to bring at first hand a message de- picting European conditions, and compare them with those prevailing in Canada and the Motherland. In the short time at his disposal, Mr. McLaughlin said, he lent his best endeavor to study conditions in for- eign countries, and if there was one spot in all the world where he would rather be it was the good old Town of Oshawa. (Applause), Hav- ing regard to the conditions of teem- ing millions he had seen in several foreign countries he could say with- out hesitation that the meanest man under the British flag was a prince in comparison. '"'"What is going to lift Canada and the world to the place where it ought to be?" asked Mr. McLaughlin as he described conditions in foreign lands. In Egypt after 2,000 years people still followed the primitive methods of harvesting their grain and foHowing other pursuits. In that country he had seen also the magnificient ruins of the temples of Karnae, covering 400 acres, 260 of which yet remain- ed to be cleared. Terrible condi- tions prevailed in Portugal, Guns were mounted in the streets, in the street cars and almost everywhere as he visited the capital of that country. How could people he gov- erned at the muzzle of a gun. Un- rest was prevalent in nearly all countries of Europe. Greek Phil- osphy would not do it.
