Hotel Company of Osh- awa last night at the annual meet- ing of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce held in the hotel an- nounced May 1 as the date of the formal opening of the Hotel: During his remarks ,Mr. Irwin commented upon rumors, purely unofficial, he stated, which had been circulated relative to the open- ing of the hotel. The dates for tas formal affair, he said, had been set from unauthorized sources and had been .predicted to have taken place may times during the course of the last few months. The cows pany, he pointed out, had nothing' whatever to do with the circula- tion of these rumors, and he stated that the hotel would open formatsy, unless unforseen delay occurred in the arrival of final shipments of furniture, on May 1. "If everything is arranged by that time, as we have no doubt it will, there will be opened in Osh- awa a hotel that will be a credit to the city. Mr. Irwin declared, 'The electric lighting fixtures have al- ready 'been installed, and the first shipment of furniture which has been purchased by the company is already in the lobby of the hotel." Discoursing upon the soundness of the hotel project, the speaker pointed out that reports that the company had been laboring finan- cial difficulties in the last few months were also entirely false. He stated positively that the proposi- tion was sound in every detail and that citizens of Oshawa should dis- regard these unfounded rumors and give their support to a project that was about to be completed in their midst and which would stand as a material asset to the city at large.

A. S. Fraser, export and customs manager of the company. The company here has secured from the head office of the General Motors Corporation in New York, of all Chevrolet export cars for : This business will be at its peak in October, November and December, said Mr. Fraser. The shipments of Chevroléts to these three countries during the fall season will probably approxi. mate 1,000 to 1,200 jobs per month to start with, and may be ¢ The allotment of New Zealand to General Motors of Canada Limited, becomes effective April 1, said Mr. Fraser, and the local company will start at once to ship cars to that country. It is expected that, dur- ing the first two months, April and May, about 1,000 jobs will be shipped to New Zealand.

One rea< son was that, under the preferential tariff in New Zealand to-day, cars which were at least 50 per cent. made in Canada would be much cheaper than the cars made in the United States and which have been shipped to New Zealand up to this time. General Motors will now be able to reduce the price of its cara in New Zealand, and this will no doubt increase the demand, and the production in the Oshawa plant. Although Spain and Egypt are north of the equator, their motor« ing season is also at a different time of the year from the Canadian season, Mr. Fraser said. He explain. ed that, in the summer, the weather is so hot that the people do not like to do any more motoring than nes cessary. The cool months of winter are thus the principal motoring months, and the sales of cars are then at their peak. = The tourists (Continued on Page 12) § GENERAL SARRAIL WAS BURIED TODAY IN PARIS, FRANCE Simple Ceremony In Cone trast With That For Marshal Foch (Cable Service to The Times by ' ..
