THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE. 9 PAGE FIVE TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1948 Official Opening Of Charlton Transport Premises (zala Event Hundreds of friends and business associates yesterday gathered at the new Charlton Transport Co. Ltd. yards and offices for the formal op- el of the premises by Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Charlton. Official op- ning ceremonies were performed by 'T. L. Wilson, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Gener- al Manager of The Times-Gazette. "We are gathered here tonight," sald Mr. Wilson, "to honor Mr. Charlton and his good lady for their achievements in business and to open officially this new struc. ture. I am sure that most of you . read with keen interest the story of the success of this business in Sat. urday's issue of The Times.Gazette when its progress was fully record- ed. We wonder just what this man Charlton is thinking tonight--this | man who was a taxi driver in the middle twenties when he conceived the idea there must be a better way to transport automobiles than the system theh in use and tnen pur- sued the development of the idea to the point where tonight he heads an orga ion with an investment of approximately $190,000. It is with a great deal of pléasure and a feeling of real honor that I now declare this new office building officially open." Culmination Of An Idea + It was a moment that Mr. and Mrs. Charlton and their family had been waiting for for a long time. It 'was the culmination of an idea which years ago started as a dream and last night became a reality. The spotless flower-bedecked offices, oriunenied win new fixtures aad furniture drew many compliments from the hundreds of guests. "It is great to live in a city like | this," commented one guest, "for here people know how to live. It is evident that the community spirit really thrives in Oshawa." The size of the gathering itself was a, tribute to Oshawa's spirit of neighborliness as well as to the cou- rage and acumen of Mr. Charlton who started from scratch to become the head of a large auto transport business, : Glowing tributes and congratula- tions were tendered by a number of citizens called on for a few re- marks by Mr. Wilson. Among those who spoke briefly were W. Stockdale, Inspector of Public Vehicles, Department of Highways, Toronto; E. J. Umphrey, General Sales Manager, General Motors of Canada Limited; T. H. ' Coppin, Supervisor of Transporta. #5 tion, General Motors of Canada, Limited; J. A. Beaton, who was General Sales Manager for General Motors and who, according to Mr. Charlton was of great assistance to him in the early days of the Charl. 4 ton firm; John Boyce a G.M.C. deal. er from Quebec who brought greet- ings from dealers in the sister pro- vince and H. 8. Ogden, General Manager of the Charlton company who extended greetings on behalf of the personnel to Mr. and Mrs. Charlton. In a charming and gracious man- ner, Mrs. Charlton tendered a warm e to everyone and extended appreciation for the co-operation of their many friends, and particularly for the grand showing in numbers at came to greet them on this oc- on. Traces Firm's Growth In speaking to the gatiering Mr. Charlton traced to some extent the growth of the organization and paid generous tributes to those who had been associated with him during "this . period. Particularly was he grateful to his wife and family who him in the company's de- velopment. Attending the "Open House, which commenced at 3 p.m. yesterday and which carried on until 9 p.m., were the dealers from various parts of been making deliveries of G.M.C. products.

Canadian Garden Service -- 1948 By GORDON LINDSAY SMITH All informal garden layouts, and the informal type is almost invari- ably the best, are built around a piece of lawn. Even in the very tiny city gardens, this makes the most effective treatment, the level stretch of green grass setting off the flow. ers, shrubs, vines and trees which surround it. If at all possible one should avoid straight lines in these surrounding beds of shrubbery and flowers, though rigid fence lines and drive. ways sometimes make this difficult. Experts advise, however, a curving front to the flower beds rather than a straight one, and both flowers in this and any shrubbery should be planted in clumps rather than in rows. Generally small flowers and smaller shrubkery are brought to the front, though there should be a little variation in this rule just for variety. . Screens At the back of the flower beds, along the fences or in place of fen- ces one can use growing screens. These may be in the form of per- manent hedges, shrubs, vines or high-growing annuals. Even a fence or wall in good condition will look more attractive if partially hidden in this way, and as for the more common type which is not so at- tractive it can be completely screen- ed by annual or perennial vines. There is all sorts of planting mat. erial available for this purpose and found listed in any good catalogue. The perennial types are wgll known. Many people do not realfz> that one can get quite good and quick results from annuals too. Dahlias, ornam- ental sun flowers, cosmos, spider plants, are only some of many things that will reach three or four feet in height in a few weeks. And there are quick.growing vines too, like scarlet runner beans, sweet peas, hops and morning glories. Grow Fast for Tenderness The only secret of tender vegeta. bles is quick, unchecked growth. This means planting at the proper time, not too early with tender things that frost or cold weather may check, and they must be harv- ested when just right.

It was Rev. Gordon Smyths way of raising $3,000 for the church's renovation fund by June 20. "It is not a 'Smart Alec" trick but a venture of faith," he said. "The money was borrowed from the bank in the minister's name." In an interview, he recalled the Bible story of the wealthy master who gave money to three servants before setting out or a journey. On his return he found the first and second servants had added to their buried his share. He was berated for his laziness. Attached to the $5 bills given last Sunday were two papers, one a sum- mary of the parable and explana- tion 'of the way the church's fund was to be used, and the other a list store of talents, while the third had | Pastor Gives Hundred $5 Each, Cites Parable, Ideals To Raise Funds | of some 50 suggestions for increas- | ing the $5. | Included in the suggestions were: Afternoon teas, use of hobbies, such as building saiiboats, to advantage; raising plants, making costume jewelry, renting vacuum cleaners and baby-sitting. The minister said participation is not limited to this community of 900, 45 miles north of Peterborough and the rural districts of Ingoldsby and Lochlin, which make up the parish, > "The idea is not to cut into their present church givings, but as an extra donation," he said. "All who are interested need only drop me a card and I will immediately send them their talent." The 29-year-old pastor plans to | equip his church with stained glass windows, new lighting facilities and chancel, a modern Sunday school and kitchen fagilities in the base- ment, as well as to bring the grounds as close to a Garden of Eden as possible.

It is also a good plan to spread sowings out over at least several weeks so that young stuff is coming along continuously. Another is to plant several different types-- an early maturing sort, a medium and a late. Paths and Driveways Even where paths are not absol- utely necessary they will add inter- not be too obvious, and if one wants a curve or two in them then there should be some excuse for that curve, such as a tree or group of shrubbery. What the path will be made of depend upon how much traffic and what materials are available. Good firm sod will take some wear and if dry will carry an occasional car. For more permanent results and heavier traffic, flag stones, bricks, crushed cinders or well packed gravel are all suitable. Where these act as driveways as well and carry heavy traffic, some foundation and drainagé is advis- able. Coarse gravel or cinders will do very well. To keep down dust and weeds in driveways there are many good weed killers on the market. Common salt is also used for this purpose and it has the additional advantages of binding the gravel or cinder and discouraging frost. NEXT WEEK--Pfanting and transplanting. est to any garden.

Introduced by Municipal Affairs Minister Dunbar, the bill allows agreements under which the public utility can pay for such services as fire protection, policing, law en=- forcement, street lighting, snow re- moval and sanding, drainage, sani= tation and waste removal. All agreements must receive the approval of the Municipal Affairs Department. The amendment to the Assess< ment Act defines a public utility as waterworks, gas works, electrical power works, telephone system, street or railway system, bus line or any other public transportation system and any other works or sys- tem supplying citizens with conven= iences which are controlled, owned and operated by a municipality ut local board. Ontario continues to hold its pow. ers of personal income taxation without imposing it under an in. come tax suspension bill introduced by Provincial Treasurer Frost. It follows in line with the budget ad. dress which announced that Ontario would continue to forego imposing personal income tax. The provincial fuel controller's powers are outlined in an Amend ment to the Fuel GupPly Act brought in by Mines Miniter Frost. So fhat the controllef may act "quickly and effectively" in case of "emergencies and periods when natural gas is in short supply," the bill provides that his regulations do not have to be filed and published. They will have force of law as soon as he makes them. . Amateur Show (Continued from Page 3) musical background was provided with "I'm looking over a Four Leaf Clover" as the theme song.
