2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 23, 1976 Hollingshead, (From Page One) Texas, thought it would be necessary to transplant several Americans to top management positions here in order to rejuvenate the operation. This step was proved to be unnecessary. Mr. Cameron gives full credit to his Canadian em- ployees for helping to get Hollingshead back on the right track. He describes them as "the hardest working people I have been associated with in the last five years I've been in business. They're a very compatible group." In The Beginning As Mr. Cameron explained, saddle soap was only the beginning of the Hollingshead story. Later on, the company saw the need for new products and expanded the manu- facturing facilities to make metal polishes and axle grease. As the livery trade expand- ed, Mr. Hollingshead con- tinued to prosper. He develop- ed a national wholesale distri- bution system which resulted in the growth of his manu- facturing facilities. When automobiles came into vogue in the early part of the twentieth century, Mr. Hollingshead immediately took advantage of the greater opportunity it presented, and this led to the company's present involvement in the automotive after-market. Complimentary Merger In March, 1974, R.M. Hol- lingshead became a wholly owned subsidiary of Classic Chemical, a merger which Mr. Cameron describes as the marriage of a highly efficient manufacturing company to the leader in the market of a sales company." He adds, "This merger was so compli- mentary to both companies that we have now obtained a status of being the largest chemical specialty manufac- turer in the world today." The company's corporate sale are distributed to 111 countries from manufacturing facilities in nine cities through- out North America. The Bow- manville operation handles the entire distribution and manufacture of the complete product line for Canada. The Bowmanville subsid- iary ' manufactures and markets a complete line of automotive and service chemical products at their plant on Wellington Street. Mr. Cameron told the Lions that his company's product line "is the most complete in the trade today and contains almost every automotive chemical known to have a bona fide trade demand." In addition to Hollingshead's automotive products, the Bow- manville nlant manufactures a large line of industrial and household items such as floor wax, germicides, insecticides and cleaning agents for companies such as Lestoil, the Canadian Armed Forces and Shell, Gulf and Texaco Oil companies. As Mr. Cameron explained, R.M. Hollingshead is com- prised of several divisions. The marketing sector con- sists of Classic Car Wax Products of Canada, which is a marketing company owned by R.M. Hollingshead, Can- ada, and sells Classic and Whiz products. This division employs several salaried personnel in the Bowmanville plant and bas a sales force of 20 people from Halifax to Vancouver Island. Another division within Hollingshead is Perry and Marathon Filters, which handles the production and distribution of automotive, truck and dry cleaning filters. Two Hollingshead salesmen are presently marketing these products for the company across Canada, and Mr. Cameron stated that this part of the business was one of the most successful divisions in the company. The Rustop sector manu- factures a rustproofing agent and also sells the pumps and related supplies and parts which are necessary to set up a rust proofing business. Donald Meredith heads up the private brands division of Hollingshead in Bowmanville, and the products are sold to various companies such as Noxema and the previously mentioned oil companies. As far as the production division of Hollingshead is concerned, Mr. Cameron said that there have been several changes over the past 50 years since the plant opened. In 1926, the plant started with a total of 30,000 square feet of space. Since that time, Hollingshead has added a new warehouse, new office facili- ties and improved their ship- ping and receiving docks. In terms of equipment, the company has installed a great deal of new machinery in- cluding two high speed rotary filling lines, stainless steel mixing tanks and various small filling and capping units. Maintenance Upgraded Mr. Cameron noted that until recently, plant facilities at Hollingshead had been neglected. This year alone, however, the company has spent a greater sum of money on plant maintenance than in the past seven years com- bined. The Wellington Street facil- ity operates out of four floors, and produces 300 separate product lines for 30 different companies, not including Classic and Whiz products. Mallinachood'c efaraan unite Experts in Air Conditioning - Sales and Service Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration -. Walk-In Coolers See Kuldeepi are capable of holding 163,000 gallons of liquid in 14 field tanks. From these tanks, base chemicals are pumped to the mixing floor where other raw materials are combined to make specific formulations. Mr. Cameron stated that with all the company's production equipment, it is conceivable that Hollingshead can mix up to 40,000 gallons of material at the same time. Quality control is another important sector of the company. Hollingshead employs three chemists in its laboratory to oversee this division and contribute to the research and development of new products, though 40 chemists at the laboratory in Camden, New Jersey do the majority of product develop- ment. Mr. Cameron summed up his remarks to the Lions by saying that the company is now experiencing the largest spurt of growth in its history. He added that he hoped Hollingshead would continue to be a major contributor to the prosperity and growth of the community. BigBrothers (From Page One) Brother are the prime requi- sites. No special skills and training are required. John Higginson, a member of the organization's selection and matching committee, said that a Big Brother can be either single or married and must be over 18 years of age. As with boys needing a Big Brother, men who volunteer also go through a screening process which takes about a month. Then a process of matching suitable pairs begins, and the committee strives to bring together a boy and man who will be compatible. The association points out that a boy from a broken home is six times more likely to appear in juvenile court than a boy living with both parents, and four times as likely to drop out of school. Since the Newcastle group received its charter, 17 inter- ested citizens have been elected to the board of directors. Men who are interested in becoming Big Brothers, as well as mothers of fatherless boys who feel that their son would benefit from having a Big Brother, are asked to call 623-6646 SANTACLAUSINJUNE At Sandaraska Park, lo- cated on highway 115 north of Enterprise, members of the Scarborough Centen- nials Camp Club, about 138 families strong, were sur- prised when Santa Claus showed up in full garb on the weekend. SEAP Plans (From Page One) seconds let alone 30 days, Mr. Veldhuis said." The SEAP chairman added that the meeting Monday, at the Newtonville Public School will decide the next step to be taken by the SEAP group. "We'll have to decide whether we're really serious," Mr. Veldhuis said. Legal action or public demonstrations are two possible steps that the 100 member group may consider Monday. Mr. Veldhuis said Durham East MPP, Doug Moffatt and Northumberland and Durham MP, Allan Lawrence will attend the meeting. Auctioneer (From Page One) from a 23 year old to a veteran of 50 years in the auction ring. But at 28, Mr. Liptay thinks he is probably the youngest winner, at least he doesn't think there bas ever been a younger world champion. The sale was "the real thing," said Mr. Liptay, with each auctioneer selling four lots of cattle. To demonstrate his ability, Mr. Liptay had to sell i cattle. Half Million Cattle That's a drop in the bucket considering the number of cattle Mr. Liptay estimates he bas sold in an eight year career. He said he must have sold about half a million so far and at an average of $500 per head, that works out to about half a billion dollars. As for his secret, Mr. Liptay said it all depends on hard (S E A L) work and keeping on your toes. He said some auction- eers tend to rest on their laurels after they have been in the business for a while. That's something that can't be done if you want to keep in top form. Auctioneering isn't some- thing Mr. Liptay practises regularly in the same way that a musician might practise, but he did learn the trade at a special school. He said you don't have to go to an auction- eering school to learn but he went to one in the U.S. back in 1967. Lifelong Ambition Mr. Liptay said auctioneer- ing has been a lifetime ambition ever since he was a child and he tagged along to auction sales with his father. He said it intrigued him to watch the auctioneers in action and he decided that's what he wanted to be. Now that he's been judged the world champion, Mr. Liptay won't be eligible to compete in any more champ- ionship competitions. He will, however, be chairman of the Advisory committee for the Competitive Marketing Organization. That group is planning its next competition for Calgary in 1977. Mr. Liptay is a resident of Haydon, about 10 miles north of Bowmanville. He is mar- ried to Lynn Liptay and the couple have three children, Stephen, Stuart and Lisa. A Canadian Red Cross Summer Safety Tip: Yell for help before you need it by taking courses in small boat handling before you go on a boating holiday. G. B. Rickard MAYOR J. M. Mclîroy CLERK Loses Bid (From Page One) further approval and~once that approval is given, the plan becomes more than a sheaf of papers and a map collection. It wil be the official planning document for the Durham region. According to newspaper advertisements, copies of the plan will be off the presses tomorrow and available to the public at municipal offices across the Durham Region. In the municipality of Newcastle, they will be available at the town hall. Indecent Haste In spite of the fact that the plan makes its public debut tomorrow, some of the town councillors were saying last week that the plan will be going to regional council before the Town of Newcastle bas had a chance to make input into the draft copies of the regional plan. Councillor Ken Lyall said at the special committee meet- ing Thurs. that the final stages of the official plan were being completed with what he called "indecent haste." Councillor Lyall made the motion calling for a 30-day delay in the plan in order to allow more discussion at the level of the area municipal- ities. Councillor Ann Cowman, who supported Councillor Lyall's motion, agreed that council was "just not prepared for making input into the official plan." She said that since Newcastle was more diverse than any of the other eight Durham municipalities, more time was needed. Also speaking at the special meeting last Thurs- day, Mayor Garnet Rickard cautioned that "If you wait until the official plan is the way we want it, our grand- children won't see it." The mayor suggested that even though council had decided on a motion calling for the 30-day delay, it should get on with the job for which he had called the meeting -- the review of the official p an. As well as the mayor and councillors, members from the town's staff and a regional planner were at the meeting. The council spent most of the morning going over criticisms in the region's draft official plan. The criticisms had been prepared by the town's plan- ning staff and presented by town planner, George How- den. Plan Criticisi Mr. Howden criticized the draft copy for spelling out too many details. Because the plan, as it stood before the committee Thurs. had so many details, relatively minor changes could have to go ail the way to Queen's Park for approval. It includes many matters of detail which should not be dealt with in an official plan at all or should be dealt with in a more general way," said part of Mr. Howden's report. It added, "Every policy which the region adopts needs not be stated in its official plan but any policy which is stated in the official plan will require official provincial approval for any change or exception." A second criticism by Mr. Howden stated that the region- al plan as proposed "inter- venes too extensively into matters of purely local con- cern." Some of these local matters include such things as the development on individual lots. Mr. Howden said a district plan -- that's the local plan within the regional plan that municipalities must develop -- would designate specific uses for specific lots. He said this would make the plan too rigid because any changes would mean going to Queen's Park. Motions Fail At one point in the meeting, it was recommended by Coun- cillor Kirk Entwisle that Mr. Howden's report be regarded as outlining the council's areas of cencern at the meeting with the region the next day. Coun. Entwile said he was concerned that the council put up a "solid front" when it talked with the region the next morning. "If we don't do something, we'll get exactly nowhere and our input will be zero," he said. That motion went down to defeat when the vote was called. So did a second half of the motion stating that it would be understood that the councillors would have addi- tional points to raise on the June 18th meeting. National Trust Will Buy H.

He suggest- ed that no one would get the plan so correct that amend- ments in the future would be unnecessary. Councillor Don Allin said that it was his understanding that there could be future amendments in the document. * DRIED * FRESH * TROPICAL GREEN PLANTS 3 STORES: Highway No. 2 King St. ê., Oshawa Simcoe St. N., M1 Oshawa DELOITTE, HASKINS & SELLS Chartered Accountants OFFICES IN MAJOR CANADIAN CITIES Bell Canada Building OSHAWA CENTRE, OSHAWA Partners: Josef Adam, B.Sc.
