Unofficially open for some weeks, the market is already indicating that increased efficiency is benefiting both grower, distributor'. and consumer alike: The short period of operation has already demonstrated that pro- duce is reaching the consumer, fresher than ever before. The wide-spread plant includes 225,000 'square feet of warehouse space; 40,000 square feet of office space; 720,000 cubic-feet of cold stor- age; 200,000 feet of comition storage and 8 acre railway and 8 acre-farm- ers' market.

Rutherford, Vice- President of Local 222, asked at a meeting of unemployed at the UAW Hall, that if Oshawa's 4,200 jobless were not the 10 per cent that consti- tutes a depression, what was. = He said that the Houdaille-Hershey plant will be lcosing down on July 23, leav- ing 260 without a job for seven or more weeks, and General Motors will be closing in August for holidays and model changeover, "It is generally known", he said, "that when General Motors goes down, Oshawa goes down." : PASSING - It is not a well-known fact that the 15,000,000 odd Canadians.spend more money as tourists in the United States than the 160,000,000 odd Americans spend in Canada.

Gasoline Price Drops EFFECTIVE IN FEW DAYS It will cost some folks slightly less to operate the family jalopy from now on, thanks to a %-cent a gallon cut in the wholesale price of its gasoline announced yesterday by Imperial Oil Limited. Esso dealers in the Oshawa area said they have agreed 'to pass the saving along to the customers, rather than absorb it themselves, Although the company owns many retail out- lets, it operates none of them, and leaves the fixing of retail prices up to individual gas station operators. Several local dealers pointed out, however, that consumers will not be- gin to enjoy the new, lower prices until existing supplies have been sold out. "I just bought 3,0000 gallons at the old price," one of them said, "and it will have to be sold first." Most dealers indicated the new re- tail prices will take effect "in two or For the occasion the grooms mother {three days." The reduction, which will affect most of Eastérn Canada, varies from 15-cent to a cent a gallon. Present average retail price in southern Ont- ario for reguar grade is 41 cents a gallon, including 11 cents provincial tax. The cut is the second the company "+ has made this year in wholesale prices. good condition are now stored in the local arena, applications for membership may be accepted. R.

Stevenson). For the past twenty years, Lacrosse, Canada's National Game, has been at- tempting a comeback. In recent years this "comeback" has stalled. It now appears, Lacrosse, is barely holding its own although this year; with as- sistance 'from the Ontario Athletic Commission, Minor Lacrosse has been established in some new centres. Why is Lacrosse not moving for- ward? It has been the opinion of many that the fault lies with the men on the O.L.A. executive, but this year an almost completely new executive was elected but the condition has not improved. I have been connected with Lacrosse in Brooklin for several years and now this year serving on the exe- cutive council of the O.L.A., many of the faults holding up the progress of Lacrosse have Become clear. To start this game on the comeback trail, the first and foremost job to be done is a complete reform and reor- ganization of the administration of the O.L.A The fault does not lie with the men in the positions, 'but in the administrative set-up itself, Mr. Rowah, Sec.-Treasurer, is a very cap- able man, but he like everyone else has limitations. His job is too big for one man to handle part time and still be done efficiently. The solution is one of two ways, either a full time paid position for the Sec.-Treasurer or his job should be broken down and the Sec.-Treasurer relieved of some of his responsibilities. ~~ The latter in my | opinion is the most logical step. | In establishing this breakdown the! following points could be considered: Brooklin Lacrosse Enthusiast Has Suggestions To Boost Game The establishment of an Interme- diate Committee to run their own af- fuirs. (The Seniors already have this.) = The formation of the Ontario Minor Lacrosse Association. (A separate executive within the 0.L.A, Minor Lacrosse). A provincial publicity director to handle publicity and statistics, Pro- mote Lacrosse in new centres through- out the province. A more concrete plan for the pro- motion of Minor Lacrosse. The pre- sent policy so dilutes the aid that not too much impression is made. A bet- ter plan might be for the O.L.A. to picky; one district around an already established lacrosse centre and to con- centrate most of its promotional drive in the centres in that district for a year. Each year a new district could be developed. This system would not only establish lacrosse in new centres but it would also play an important part in making minor leagues a pos- sibility, something which under pre- sent conditions are almost out of the question. These are only a few thoughts and I have talked with many concerned with Lacrosse, some on the present - 0.L..A. executive and some with dif- ferent clubs, 'and I find I am by no means alone in my thoughts, : It is timé to quit talking and start acting, not a month. from now or a year from now, but immediately. I know there are enough Lacrosse lov- ers in this province, that if we buckle down and'get to work, we can make this great game of Lacrosse, truly CANADA'S NATIONAL GAME. --Lyle R. Stevenson.
