THURSDAY, OCT. 28th, ir A 1~ W THE 6AKADTAI( STATESMAN. EOWMANV!LLE. ONTAMO Dramatic New Models For 1955 Chevrolet Seen By Local Dealer Back from the history mak- tng'three day national Chevro- let-Oldarmebile Dealer Conven- tion in Toronto, which he des- 'crîbed as "the largest and most significant convention in the history of the Canadian auto- motive industry", Roy W. Nich- aIs was interviewed by the Canadian Statesman this week. He was accompanied to Toron- ta by-Dean Hodgson,. W. Fair- head, Fied Owens, Herman Sweetman. - 'Startling design and power changes Idi the campletely re- vamped Chevrolet for 1955", Mr. Nichols repcdrted, "will inake this the most important imodel ever ta be offered in the popular priced field." This was the unanimous re- action of 1500 dealers and de- partment heads fram points as widespreade as Northern B.C. and Newfoundland, who gath- ered in Toronto for the record- sh,-ftering convention, Mr. Ni- chols said. Ihe dramatic model changes we -e introduced in the first- day feature of the ,convention, a two-and-a-half-hour glamaur review that highlighted the cars on the largest indoor stage ever built, against a back- ground of costumed models, and specially-arranged music. Can- ada's top variety talent was enlisted for the Broadway- standard production. The 1500 guests made a de- tailed tour of the campany's new 47½-acre passenger car as- sembly plant in Oshawa, larg- est in Canada or the Common- wealth, on the second day of the convention. The enormous plant, Mr. NichaIs reported, gives General Mators a produc- tive capacity of 1350 vehicles a day, by far the Canadian auto industry's greatest. Third-day highlight was a trip ta St. Catharines and the new "push-button" faundry of McKinnon Industries, a GM di- vision. Steel men around the world regard the new foundry as the most modemn in exist- ence. "The new model develap- ments, combined with the great- ly stepped-up productive capa- city resulting from GM's 100 million dollar expansion pro- gram over the past four years," Mr. Nichais said, "have left me with the conviction that car buyers can look forward in 1955 to the most important year on record".

There are often as many as 33 at this popular feature sponsored by Bowmanville Public Library which is in charge of Mrs. M. J. Hutchinson.

Members Run Woman Councillor Elmer Banting in addressing the Business & Professional Women's Club at the Balmoral Hotel on Thursday evening, congratulated the club on the wonderful job they had done at the Town Hall. The Club has installed new stage drapes at a cost of about $1200. "This is one of the finest ex- amples I know of what taking the initiative will do," Mr. Banting said. "You set the pace for everybody else. This is just the type of thing which we in the Chamber of Com- merce are interested in." Mr. Banting, who is chair- man of the Memhership Com- mittee of the Chamber, said the Chamber of Commerce is in- terested in those wha are in- terested in the town of Bow- manville. "This is not just a front street organization."l The B. & P. Club is one of two clubs which have taken out membership and he congratu- lated the women on this evid- ent interest in civic matters. Ladies' Committee Any respectable citizen is eligible ta join the Chamber, Mr. Banting said, and empha- sized that individual member- ships are highly desirable. "I was particularly pleased ta see Sa mnany ladies out at the Chamber of Commerce dinner last Monday," Mr. Banting said. "We are advocating the formation of a Ladies' Com- mittee." Mr. Banting told members that they could help with a proposed survey of citizens in this area, on what they would like ta see done in Bowman- ville; if they like ta shop in Bowmanville, and if not, why flot. A similar questionnaire was sent out in Belleville and out of 3,000 sent out, 2,000 were returned. The answers were specifie and helpful ta those interested in the city of Belle- ville.

VAN BRIDGER, Manager <'We want to find out the an- swers to such questions here and then do something about it," Mr. Banting said. Do Not See Faits In travelling a good deal through Ontario Mr. Banting said that he had an opportun-I ity ta compare Bowmanville with other towns. "Sometimes people who have lived here al their lives do not see its short- comings," he said. He feit that one of the ways in which Bow- manville is behind other towns is in lack of beautification. "In the valley below Vanstone's' Mill," he said, "Bowrnanvilie has a natural setting second only ta Stratford's. If someone would only head t}?is project Up wonders could be done in the way of a park, and I would like ta see a swimming pool there too." Mr. Banting briefly review- ed the different committees of the Charuber, what they have accomplished in the five months of their existence, and their eans for the future. "Some people ask what we have done," Mr. Banting said. "We are taking things slowly, tack- ling the smaller probiems first. Some people when they think of the Chamber of Commerce think only of getting new in- dustries. This is a highly corn- petitive field." The speaker contended that, added industries do not; raise taxes and pointed ta the Plat- inumn Mile in New Toronto Township as an example. For Tourists Among things which the Chamber would like ta see\ýdone is the development of hîstori- cal sites to attract tourists. A map of the town of Bowman- ville and a bookiet on the town are also on the agenda of the Chamber. Mr. Banting also ad- vocated a sales course for clerks. "We are in a buyer's market again," Mr. Banting said, "and service plus is what counts." In this connection Mr. Bant- ing mentioned a course which had been given in Lindsay, for which Eaton's and Simpson's stores sent instructors. Among thin'gs which the Chamber has tackled are the parking' problems in town an which they made certain re- commendations ta Town Coun-' cil. and the Friday night open- ing of stores on which mer- chants have co-operated splen- didly. "If there are other things you would like ta see done, write a letter ta the Edi- tor of The Canadian States- man," Mr. Banting urged. "Get people talking about your ideas." a- On the Chamber's agenda is aplan t stimulate interest in mnunicipal elections. "We would 'ike ta see at least 14 people run this year," Mr. Banting said, "and we would like ta have a woman run. The editor- ial in The Statesman this week beat me ta it, but we have had this idea in mind for same time. Other tawns and cities have women mayors and coun- cillors, why not Bowmanville?" The Chamber of Commerce is alsa going ta try ta set Up a system for checkîng on ped- dlers and doar to door sales- men in order ta protect Bow- manville citizens. 1 In conclusion Mr. Bantingi said, "If the Chamber of Com-1 merce fails, as some people are waiting for it ta do, it will be through lack of interest of thase persans who should be interested. I feel. that only those who are at aur meetings have the right ta critîcize. I look on the Chamber as a miniature United Nations.
