The building committee chair- man stated "The building of any structure requires a large amount of planning and foresight, inves- tigating the needs of all parties for whom the building is being erected, keeping in mind at all times the economic status of the particular situation. At the con- clusion of the planning the re- sults are recorded on paper and a contractor is engaged to pro- ceed with the actual manual work of the erection. At this time, skilled tradesmen are brought ig to transform the plans to reality.

Motorama is one means by| which the people of General] Motors tell the public about their| work and the products they] make. The efforts of thousands of \people are displayed in Motor-| ama. There are the 14,000 Gen-| eral Motors people in Canada who| make and sell the cars and| trucks; there are the employees | of the more than 4000 General Motors suppliers who make the| parts that are assembled in the| GM plants; and there are the many GM research teams who, are striving constantly to de- velop better products. Visitors to Motorama for 1960 will find many examples of this| product development, from the experimental Cadillac Cyclone to| the new production Corvair. | MUCH RESEARCH The Corvair represents nine years of General Motors re- search and production effort. Be- fore it could be made in Can- ada, GM had to build a new 10- acre plant in Oshawa, buy new equipment for it, and search out new Canadian suppliers. Employ- ment will be increased by 1200 early in January. Part of the need for the increase stems from the opening of the new Corvair plant, which is creating approxi- matély 625 additional jobs. There are many things about General Motors that cannot be told at Motorama. Such things as the fact that more passenger cars are built at GM's Oshawa plant than at any other plant in Canada. That more than half of the cars and trucks built in Canada are built at Oshawa by GM workers. That at peak production periods vehicles come off the not be presented at Motorama. | But it is hoped that through | Motorama, with its displays of re- search and of production cars and trucks, more Canadians may come to know more about one| of Canada's basic industries. The program of special enter- tainment includes Sally Ann Howes, a 27-year-old blonde] musical comedy singer, who re- cently completed a year in the{f leading role in cast of My Fair Lady and the| Wazzan Troupe, a group of seven | young Arabians ranked among the world's leading acrobats. The troupe recently completed en-| gagements at Radio City Music| Hall in New York and at the world Fair in Brussels.

(CP)--Western Canada's first nylon stocking mill, established two years ago in this town 30 miles north of Winnipeg, has quadrupled its pro- duction: with the recent opening of a new $50,000 plant The Teulon Hosiery Mills Lim- ited began operations in 1957 in a small carpenter's shop.

Parents traditionally hire male students as stand - ins for Santa Clause, but there have been reports in recent years of childrer bursting into tears at the sudden ap- pearance of the bearded gen- tleman on Christmas Eve. As a result, attractive fe- male students have been lined up by a baby-sittiug associa- tion to take over Santa's job in these homes. Hosiery Mill Booming In Western Canada ated 10 machines which knitted 700 dozen pairs of sheer, seam- less nylons a month. The new brick plant, opened by Manitoba's mines and resources Minister, C. H. Witney, contains 30 machines which turn out 600 dozen pairs a week Of the $50,000 cost of the new plant, $30,000 was supplied by 57 shareholders in the Teulon dis- trict. The rést came from the Lincoln Mills. | Company officials say there: is | chance the mill will double its production in another alonths with the addition of fi more knitting machines. The establishment of the mill followed a report on Manitoba's industrial potential, prepared by the provincial government, which recommended setting up a hos. iery plant. Lincoln Hosiery Mills, one of several eastern hosiery firms to receive the report, indi- cated an intergst. When the Teulon Chamber of Commerce informed the .govern- ment that it was interesied in in dustrial development here, and that a number of residents were interested in investing in a local industry, the two parties were brought together. In opening the new plant, Mr Witney remarked that one of the surest ways to attrac! mew indus try to.a community was to have direct financial participation by local peonle r HH)
