THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1930 PAGE THREE Chamber of Commerce to Tender Reception to Skinner Co. New General Motors Parts And Service Suilding to Be Occupied in Ten Days No Official Opening To Be oN B Held--C. E. McTavish, DARD OF HEALTH Manager of Parts and Ser- vice Department An- nounces Today HISTORY BEHIND NEW STRUCTURE Little Old Lady Happy in New House -- Service Building Stands on Site of Former Home The large new parts and service building of General Motors of Can- ada, Ltd., which has been in the course 'of construction during the past six months, will be occupied within the next ten days, C. E. Mec- Tavish, manager of the parts and service denartment of the company informed The Times today, Asked whether there would be any offi- cial opening of the building, Mr. McTavish answered in the nega- tive. The addition to the parts and service departments ircludes a large structure of three storeys built to the west of the present quarters of the denartment and fronting on Bond street. It is of brick and steel construction and conforms with all that is modern in factory structure, being well ven- tilated and well lighted. The value of theb uilding permit taken out for its erection was placed at $125,- 000. Gay and Co., Ltd, a local firm who have done considerable building for General Motors, were the contractors. The building if set apart by it- self would be considered as an im- portant addition to the space which is occupied by industries in the city. Due to the fact, however. that it is but a small part of the largest automobile manufacturing plants in Canada, it is difficult for the ordinary citizen to realize thaw it provides 87,000 square feet of additional floor space in order to meet the needs of the rapidly ex- panding business of the parts and |sidengg in order that commercial service department. reparglon mieht not be ohstructed The erection of the new parts in s of the associations and ALD.

This is a joint meet- ing all clubs combining for a pleas- ant evening and the others are not the gucsts of the Rotary club.

The reception will be under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce held yesterday after- noon. The reception will be under the auspices of the Chamber and Mayor T. B, Mitchell, the city council and other public bodies willl be asked to participate while the Chamber of Commerce will have ds its guests, the principals in the Skinner Co., widely known manufacutrers of automobile bum- pers, and the great Houdaille- Herschey Corporation, The event will be unique in the industrial history of this commun- ity as it is believed that this is the first itme a civic reception wiil have been held in honor of the establishing of a new industry. Probably this is due to the 'fact that the majority of the city's ine started in a very small and gave no indication that would reach their present size and influence, The contrast with the establishment of an import- ant branch of the Skinner Co. here is striking for in this instance an old manufacturing company is en terinz large, new and well equips ped quarters, The reception, according to an= nouncement made by Leon Frazer, secretary of the Chamber of Com= merce, will consist of a banquet to be held in Weleh's Parlors fol- lowing which a visit of inspection will be paid to the new plant. A special committee including President G. W. McLaughlin, May= or T. B. Mitchell, Ald. Geo. Morris, D. F. Johnston and F. L, Mason was appointed to wait upon the Canadian Fire Underwriters' Ase sociation at Toronto with a view to having existing fire insurance rates reduced in consideration of the reductions made in the key rates for many other Ontario munis cipalities. A fire prevention contest under the auspices of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce which is commencing or June 1 next was made the subject of much discus- sion by the directors. The move was a good one, in their opinion, as it would bring public attention to the importance of eliminating fire hazards, thus reducing fire losses, Oshawa will probably enter the contest in common with other citios and towns and the Chamber of Commerce executive is now con= sidering the appointment of a gen- eral committee to consider what steps should be taken, The executive was in recdipt yes- terday of a communication from the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce advising that Leon Irazer, siecre= tary, had been appointed as a mems= ber of a special committee which will investigate the possibilities of tourist traffic in Ontario. This committee will meet in first session on Jannary 31, next. The directors authorized the appointment. The report of the Sir John Air commission recommending the na- tional control of all radio broad- casting was studied with interest by the directors yesterday and res ferred to a committee including Gi D .Conant, chairman; D. F, John- ston and C. E, McTavish, J. Beaton, of Beaton's Dairy Pro- ducts Ltd., applied for member- ship and was elected, -A large number of directors were present at the meeting.
