2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, menasy, August X1, 170) GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN NORDAIR-OSHAWA RULING DUE SOON Will Nordair Airlines include Oshawa in its itiner- ary, as recommended by the Air Transport Board? Roland G. Lefrancois, executive vice-president of the line, has promised a decision within the next few days, Nordair has not sent a representative here thus far, he explains, because the firm has been too busy organ- izing the extension to Kingston and Montreal of its existing service between Toronto and Windsor. Nordair is analyzing the different ways Oshawa could be integrated in a route pattern, he says; one of the points to be considered is the trend of traffic to and from points it already serves, ("Up to now our exper- ience on our new route was too short to enable us to have a sound opinion of what this trend is and will be in the future," he said.) Mr, Lefrancois said that most of the Oshawa traffic is originating in or destined to Windsor, according to evidence before the Air Transport Board this year. For this reason, Nordair feels that a service to Oshawa re- quires a better organization than the one the firm had at Windsor, where it was using the facilities of TCS. Nordair has had its own people and facilities at Windsor since August 1. TWO SWIM POOLS TO CLOSE LABOR DAY The City's two public swimming pools (and the only two in a City of 60,000) will continue operating under their present schedule until Monday, Sept. 4, inclusive (Labor Day). They are Rotary and Somerset . . . Alder- man Albert V. Walker, chairman of the city property and fire protection committee, and Fire Chief Ray Hobbs are attending the annual convention of the Canadian Fire Chiefs Association in Kitchener. . . . David F. Dineen, principal at St. Philips Separate School here (1959--60), has been appointed a Separate School Inspector in the Kitchener area (Waterloo, Pres- ton, Forest, Bridgeport and Arthur). CHRISTMAS TREE TALK IN AUGUST Cy Schwartz of Chicago is a man who can talk about Christmas trees in August and make the subject fascinating, and little wonder. He's been buying and selling this commodity whole- sale in various parts of the U.S. for more than 30 years. ("It's the most interesting business I've ever heard of," he says with true evangelical fervor "and the rewards can be many"). There's another reason--Canadian Xmas Tree Grow- ers Corp. Ltd., Chicago, Ill. (of which he is owner-man- ager) has a special interest in this district, specifically in a hilly terrain extending east and west to the north of here and Bowmanville known as The Ridges. The firm has more than 1,000,000 trees planted on 1000 acres in 14 locations between Burketon and Black- stock (all the way to Millbrook)--it also has cutting rights to five other district plantations. All of the firm's trees in this area are Scotch Pines, and more than 40,000 of these were harvested last year for shipment to wholesale markets in the Chicago area. The firm hopes to harvest an average of. 100,000 Scotch Pines annually from this land--starting two years from now and extending for at least six years--for ship- ment to the Chicago market--one of his 1961 orders is for 15,000 trees for a Chicago chain store group with 28 outlets, This is of interest because of an article in the August 12 issue of "Foreign Talk" (fortnightly publica« tion of the Department of Trade and Commerce) which states that Canadian exports of Christmas trees to the U.S. in 1960 totalled 10.7 million trees valued at 6.4 mil- lion, out of a total of an estimated 40 to 44 million sold in the U.S, last year. "Foreign Trade" sounds this warning for Canadian exporters: To maintain our market and to compete successfully with Michigan trees in the midwestern U.S., it will be necessary to be quality conscious and competitive in price. Buyers are becoming more particular about trees as larger quantities of desirable ones come on the market, Plantation-grown trees from Canada do compete favorably with Michigan trees and most wholesalers pre- fer them -- however, many of the wild trees from Canada are of poor quality and provoke complaints a- mong the trade, Canadian exporters would be well advised to keep up the quality of their shipments. Cy Schwartz's eyes light up (like a Christmas tree in December) when he talks about the type of Scotch Pine grown atop The Ridges--he says there's something "extra special" about their color, texture and general quality; also they need little spraying, which is eco~ nomical. "This is only a personal opinion," he explains "but I have never seen such a fine area for Scotch Pines. It's a combination of things. First of all the land is high and the atmosphere is much drier than most areas; also the winds blow just right, not too strong, not too weak." Cy says it can be a costly business--for instance, he spent $15,000 last year on the Ridges pruning 75,000 trees; between 20 and 25 men are employed at harvest time and as many as 70 to 75 students are used for pruning." What is the percentage profit per tree on Scotch Pines for the wholesaler on the market in Chicago? Cy didn't say, but he admitted he sold them whole- sale last year for prices ranging from $2.00 to $2.25 each --but this was at the start of the season and the price rose to $3.00 when the big run was on near Christmas. SARNIA PLANS LIQUOR PLEBISCITE Oshawa and district was represented by 12 gradu- ates in Lansing, Mich., August 11 at the graduation exer- cises of the GM Institute. Joseph Exalt Pinto of 163 Grandview (transferred here five years ago from India) had a unique distinction--he was the only district alum- nus to receive a Graduate Key. The award was made for ability and leadership displayed by him in the Stand- ards Department here . , . Fred C. Malloy, chairman of the Oshawa Industrial Commission (he is also a mem- ber of the Harbor Commission) has left on a three-week camping trip with his family in the Lake Superior re- gions . . . Folks up Sarnia way are getting ready for a liquor plebiscite Monday, Oct, 16. The Sarnia Chamber of Commerce had advised Council that it intends to pro- ceed with its original plan to obtain a petition from 25 percent of the voters requesting a referendum which would obligate council to call a vote, The Chamber in- dicated however, it would be willing to turn over to the city $2000 it had set aside for the petition, if Council agreed to save time by calling an early vote.
