MO. 8-3703 Whithy's newest shopping plaza, on Dundas street east, at Hutchison avenue, fis almost completed and stores will soon be open.

One is the trading down movement. The discount Rotary Club at the Whitby|opers have been very successful| houses are going to invade every Arena, Tuesday. |in the past few years to encour- |field of retailing.

His speech was well recieve by the Whitby Rotary Club and following are some of his views on what he termed the "world's oldest profession," the clothing industry. "Recently we have found that we do not have to rely entirely on natural means to provide us with the clothing we need. Man has, through chemistry, found new ways to make use of raw materials so that man-made chemical fibres are available for the manufacture of wearing apparel." "Look for example at state of the woollen industry in this country. The fact that our climate is not the best type of produce the highest quality wool is not the only reason that the woollen industry in this country is and has been in serious diffi- culty. Competition from coun- tries producing better grade wool is part of the answer, but increased competition from syn-| thetics will, in the not too dis- tant future, spell the end of wool production in Canada." SMALL OPERATOR "There are indications today that the days of the small opera- tor are numbered. I would] never advocate the stamping out | of big business but I feel very| strongly that the small inde- pendent operator must find his rightful place alongside the giant corporations and sales organizations and that the small- er businessman is just as neces- sary to the general public as the large organization." "There is a trend today to one-sotp shopping. We all tend to shop in the gemeral area where we can most easily park our cars. If we can buy several the| er cities and towns with succes- d| sive rings of shopping cnetres as| {residential areas continue to { blossom. | "The small retailer who is not {located in this hub of business activity must do several things to attract traffic away from the neon - lighted concrete mon- sters and into their stores. "Keeping in mind that what he has in his store can be bought in many other stores, it portant. | PERSONAL ATTENTION "He can give a level of per- sonal attention and service far beyond that which a clerk in a department store can offer. This is not as hard for a retail er to do as you might expect. One of the biggest problems his competitor has to face is in- adequately trained and uninter- ested sales staff. "The retailer should have the| proper attitude towards com- plaints and returns of mer- chandise. This attitude can be defined very briefly; no ques- tions asked, replace, repair or refund. Merchants who in the is what he can give, in addition to the merchandise, that is im-| | price. "There is another trend of {the public to trade up in qual- ity. This is a smaller, more select group. These people want a good product and are willing to pay for it and they want the attention a retailer can offer. "The independent retailer must continually strive to im- prove himself. He must take 'more of an effort to keep {abreast of the changes in prod- {ucts and he must train his staff to do the same." ADDITIONAL WHITBY NEWS ON PAGE 20 Wrong Way On 401 Ramp Fined $100 A wrong-way driver on the Ajax eloverleaf was Tuesday past found it better to argue with a customer do not last too long in this competitive society. "Another lost art that he in-| dividual retailer must try to] keep alive is the art of sales-| manship. Not high pressure, for there is no down pay- ment salesmanship but the real art of helping people to see their [needs and then selling to fill those needs. "The old saying that another man can make anything cheap- er to sell cheaper was never more true than it is today.

Dnieper in Whitby police court. Donald B. McPherson, 37, of Bowmanville, had been charged with driving while in- toxicated but after hearing the evidence His Worship reduced the charge to impaired. PC Donald Robson, of Ajax, said that on June 10 he had {been on Harwood avenue, when he observed a car make a right turn off the street to the ramp from Highway 401. He said that this is an eastbound only ramp and the car proceeded west on it. With siren sounding and roof light on, he said, the car was stopped only by pulling across in front of it.

He also received six months concurrent on charges of making a false cheque for $68.35 in Toronto and cashing it Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck told the court that some of the cheques had been cashed in hood, fenders, doors, wheels and| tires, which had been sold to a Whitby auto wrecker for $250. | When police recovered the| car, he said, they had valued it| at only $600. The vehicle had| been valued at $2,000 at the time of its theft. | He was unable to tell the court what had happened to the chick- ens and the eggs. Armsrtong, who has served previous terms in the reforma- tory, asked for a penitentiary term this time. Magistrate Dnieper said that would be no problem, the only one being how long in penitentiary.

Douglas For- Last Sunday, a family picnic was held at Preston Lake for all the members of the Crawford family. Approximately 35 rela- came up with two runs in each of the last two innings to over- : lcome a 2-0 deficit and defeat the Whitby Abner's Essos 4-3 last night in Port Perry. Prior to the two-run eighth ninth innings, Wally Samanski had held the Port Perry club to only four hits. Abner's and Port Perry were tied 2-2 going into the final frame, and Abner's then rallied for three hits and one run to take the lead, but Port Perry were not to be denied as they retaliated with three straight hits, good for the tying and win- ning runs to claim the victory in a story-book finish. Whitby gained their first run in the third inning on Murray Stubbins" single, Gord Schmidke then sacrificed Stubbins to sec- ond, and he finally scored on Buck Heron's line shot. Abners came right back in the fourth frame to score their sec- ond run. Marty Jordan opened the inning with a double, ad- vanced to third on Jack Stew- art's long fly to left field, and scored when Bill Stacey singled. Whitby outhit Port Perry nine to eight. Buck Heron, Bill Stacey and Murray Stubbins Sportsmen, Arena Lead Softball Loop Arena Sunoco and Sports- man's Corner continue to fly high in the Lakeside Softball league standings after Sunday's games. Pickering Beach split a doubleheader--losing to French- man's Bay 94 and picking up a win by default over Sports- man's Corner. Earl Robinson of Frenchman's Bay was credited with the win over Pickering Port Perry Edges Abner's 4-3 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, July 12, 1961 paced Abner's attack with two Foster was best at the plate with a pair of safeties. Tonight at the Whitby Town park, these same two clubs go right back at it, and if last night's engagement was any in- dication, then tonight's com- ment should prove interesting. Bill Giddings will likely get the mound call for Abners. Game time is 8.15 p.m. On Friday night, the game that all Whitby fans have been waiting for will take place at the Town park. The Markham Aces, presently the class of the South Ontario Softball league, and still undefeated, provide Abner's with the opposition. This is a replay of the post- poned game on June 21. Whitby opened their 1961 schedule in Markham and dropped a 5-2 de- cision to the Aces. The game was decided in the eighth inning by a bases - loaded home run. Only three runs counted as the circuit blast by a Markham member was wiped out when he missed third base.
