PAID TRIBUTE A tribute to the work of Mrs. Laughlin. In 1945 he and Mrs, McLaugh- lin donated Adelaide House and grounds to the YWCA. When he turned the first sod for the one-storey structure Col. McLaughlin said that the gym- nasium would "bring a great deal of happiness, pleasure and benefit to. the young ladies of Oshawa". He also spoke of the great re- gard the late Mrs. McLaughlin had for the YWCA. "She was in- terested in all good works, and it was at her suggestion that we gave the house to the local YWCA. 'HEART TOUCHED' "It touched the cockles of my heart when the YWCA named the building Adelaide' House, after my wife," said Col. Mec- Laughlin.
