The total for the model year period of Oct. 1, 1962 to Sept. 30, 1963, showed an 11 per cent increase over the 1962 model year, which set the previous |sales record of 265,435 cars and trucks. Sale of North American pas- senger cars were up 17 per cent over the 1962 model year which had been the previous all-time record. Total North American type car sales for the 1963 model year were 247,456, and for the 1962 model year 212,233. North American truck sales for the same period were 40,- 903 units, up 18 per cent over the 34,729 units sold in the 1962 model year, "The automobile market is booming from coast to coast," a General Motors spokesman said. "Our sales of North Am- erican pasenger cars in Sep- tember were 46 per cent ahead of September last year, and our sales of trucks were almost dou- ble those of September last year. There is a particularly strong continuing trend in favor of Canadian-built vehicles, and optimistic as we were last model year, the demand seems to be at least as good or better and should continue into 1965," Portability Oshawa City Council Tuesday pension plan which allows a kind of portability. From now on, with the trans- fer of personnel to Oshawa, the city will accept pension funds from other plans even though the two year waiting period (be- fore participation in the city's plan) will still be maintained. That is, any monies paid into another plan which may be transferred will be accepted in the Oshawa plan and held until the new employee starts to con- tribute, The trouble is, few plans make any provision for the transfer of funds. The City of Ottawa-sponsored plan does. With two men hired from Ottawa's city administra- tion in the last year, including Treasurer Frank Markson, the city fathers here are attempting to avoid future instances of new employees having to drop one plan and wait to take advantage of another. "There is no basic change in our plan," Relations Chairman Hayward Murdoch last night. "We are just trying to permit employees to have continued vesting where a plan they are leaving allows 'funds transfer. Ottawa's city-run plan is the only one we know of 'vhich allows this." Approval must still come Municipal Affairs.

"why is reg E im- portant?" William Woodcock stated that a group of men is needed to develop plans from a regional viewpoint, not a muni- cipal one. He said that plan- ning was needed due to the lack of realization of troubles caused through incongruous develop- ments in two areas separated by an imaginary line. Norman Millman agreed that there was no question that some spur is needed at the moment to think beyond political boun- gether. ALBERTA CITED The Government of Alberta . was cited by Bert Wandless as offering "much more for region- al planning than we have here in Ontario". He said the Region- al Planning Association, formed in 1956, could not prepare offi- cial plans but topics such as water supply, sewage disposal ed in liaison with the wunici- palities: Mr. Wandless stated that one "doesn't know Ontario highway policy almost until it comes info being"'.
