John Dyer opposed the) # move; arguing that Oshawa has more commercial zoning than any city of equal size in Can- ada, As a result, he said, this city has more places for serv- ice stations than any other comparable city in Canada. "I doubt very much if there is any sound basis for opening up an Industrial area to service stations," he said. "The need is not here and, in any case, it is not sound judgment."

George K. Drynan, QC, secretary of Oshawa Rid- ing Liberal Association, said to- day, Robert H. Stroud resigned as a candidate last week for "bus- iness reasons." At that time the |date of the forthcoming election ~|was not known, Three days later, on Friday, Premier John Robarts called a general elec- tion for Wednesday, September 25. Mr. Drynan told the Oshawa Times that a 'well-attended' meeting was held in the city Monday night. "Various potential candi- dates,"" he said, "'are consider- ing their position in relation to this sudden call of an election, but due to the holiday season and the state of their business, it is very difficult for people to make such sudden arrange- ments, 'We still say that the entire matter in the grossest of politi- cal opportunism. I hope the people of Ontario, all of whom are affected by an election be- ing called in this outrageous way, will bear in mind that Mr. Robarts must be dubious of his success when he finds it neces- sary to resort to such political chicanery."

"Today we find ourselves well into the second half of an unprecedented second record year in a row for the production and sales of cars and trucks. Al! present indications suggest that 1963 will be the best year in the industry's history and that the present level of business will now extend into 1964," Mr Walker said Sales of all cars and trucks in Canada were up seven per cent in the first six months of 1963 while production in ada during the same period rose by 23 per cent indicati a substantia! increase in ex port business and a substantia decline in imports of vehicles from Europe and the United States, Mr.: Walker told the luncheon meeting. Despite rising costs of mate- rials and labor, Mr. Walker said there had been no _ basic price increase in automobiles since 1958 "'while more and more improvements of every kind have been added during those five years. A Canadian in 1958 earning the average weekly wage in manufactur industries had to work 40 weeks to earn the purchase price of the lowest priced regular size two-door sedan , 31 WEEKS' WORK "In 1963 the equivalent car can be purchased for only 35 weeks of work providing the purchasor a saving of five weeks' wazes. At the same time, in 1963, he has the addi- tional choice of a_ smaller, made-in-Canada car that wil cost the equivalent of only 31 weeks of work -- for a total pos- sible saving of nine weeks' wages. Those savings to the Canadian motorist are the re- sult of increasing volume, in creasing efficiency by a cost conscious industry in. both 1 production and distribution o automobiles and of the removal of the excise tax by the goveia ment in 1961."

Children were driven around the camp in George Charleton's Morgan-horse and surrey and also in an antique truck. Cruises around Lake Samae were possible in two boats do- nated by Fabricated Metals and Stampings Limited and H. M. Brooks Construction, A merry-go-round provided by Sunbeam Bread gave the children all the thrills of a car- nival. The picnic ended at 5 p.m. with hot dogs, ice cream, bal- loons, and a number of prizes. An added feature was "Bub- bles" the clown who amused the kiddies with his faces and pranks. George Charlton, the Chair- man of the Crippled Children's Committee, and Rotarian Clark Hubbell received the full co-op- eration of Mr. Richardson and the Boy Scouts of Oshawa.
