m the tbibune wepnesday febbuahy 2v im2 fc editors mail itt looks like our main street is finally getting the class of business we so- desperatdy need toe two new i ar- cades are a typical example of bow our council lacks power and direction in providing balanced entertainment and activities for the people of stouffville- we truly believe stouffville cannot be spared this fastgrowing electronics industry however if we had a central recreation facility a business like this could be attracted to such a location in stead of providing numerous four thus far places on main street if they were in a recreation centre they would be in welllit wellsupervised public areas that would provide enjoyment for the whole family if we plan for this type of entertainment as part of our community centre it could also be a profitmaking feature which would help offset operating costs proof of this is in every major airport and hotel in north america if we continue to delay affirmative action on getting a recreation director and a recreation v centre stouffville will deserve a coney island main street sincerely- philip and florettalaveu roseavenue stouffville whitchiirchhighlaiids whitchurch a

doors of his northeast ford car dealership this weekend and try to forget he ever entered the automobile business it is not that franks is a poor businessman he isnt in fact he- transformed a rundown premises on the corner of the ninth and main st into a model dealership he spent considerable money refurbishirtg the property introducing uptodate workshop equipment and em ploying topnotch staff the day he opened the economy was stable enough to predict a bright future for his f r a n c h i s e u n fortunately the- reality fell short of the dream rising interest rates- and a marked reluctance on the part of the public to buy new cars any new cars has- resulted in the demise of several dealerships in stouffville and surrounding areas hookers at kinsale lauria of sutton and beare at porl perry all gm franchises- along with french ford at uxbridge recently went out of business north east is the latest victim to fall by the economic wayside no doubt many more will follow before the battle- scarred industry gets back on its feet i for bob franks the story ends somewhat differently not for him the trauma of receivership and the financial death knell of the auctioneers hammer he cut his losses before it was too late despite his heavy financial loss he can walk away- with head high and his- pride in tact his creditors will be paid in full although he puts the blame for his failure squarely on- the economy franks is not without opinions regarding the structure attitude and running of the north american automobile industry he firmly avows that japanese and european manufac turers have better quality control making their cars more durable and reliable this reflects in the small number of factory recalls the bane of domestic manufac turers in recent years he feels that canadian workers expect too much and give less effort in return for their salary dollar our work ethic is wrong you get nothing for nothing he said what we are now seeing could be the demise of the north american car industry as we know it the poor work ethic along with the im position of sociajist- style policies on in dustry will curtail in vestment and growth particularly in the auto manufacturing and supply field he con cluded on this point he may well be right after spending millions of dollars on the now almost defunct car industry the british government has allowed the japanese to build their own cars under license and honda will soon have their accord models on the european market could this happen here during his short time in business franks hit only half his projected 350 new car sales a year plus used of course although never forced to carry large inventory the high interest rates on half a million dollars worth- of stock swallowed his profit margin- within three months of opening the rates skyrocketed from 12 per cent tol84 per cent putting the com pany in the hole almost every time it sold a car ford was sympathetic but made no effort to ease the companys financial burden by deferring payment or letting them have cars on consignment although far from destitute he has other business interests bob franks has no plans for returning to the car trade when asked his- opinion of the future and if he thought that there would be other dealer failures on the scale recently wit nessed he replied absolutely more dealerships will close before this is all over i cant see any bright light on the horizon for the auto industry franks maintains that despite his losses he is still master of my own destiny asfor the- ten members on staff their destinies are not so certain only two have found other em ployment back in the 50s and 60s the companys slogan was theres a ford in your future disgruntled workers in a beleagured and ailing industry might well ask what future
