W. McLaughlin--Small Com- mittee Named to Obtain Guarantee of Initial Finances from Council -- Chairman Will Ap- point Delegates to Go to Ottawa re Oshawa Harbor Application for a Federal Charter will be made by Chamber ot Commerce Committee which held its initial organizing meet- ing of the year at the city office building last night under the chairmanship of G, W. McLaughlin, The meeting, largely attend- ed by citizens and aldermen composing it, definitely determined that the name of the new city building body shall be "The Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce." A small committee was named to obtain a guarantee of initial finances from the City Council and a number of interested citizens; to take steps towards the-employ- ment of a permanent secretary and campaign headquarters, It was definitely determined that Oshawa will conduct its own cam- paign without calling in Jolessional assistance outside of the probable borrowing of a hamber of Commerce secretary from some progressive Ontario city. Appointing a citizen's delegation to accompany Council members to Ottawa within the next two weeks to urge campletion of the Oshawa harbor was left in the hands of Chairman McLaughlin who will name the delegates. The motion to that effect insisted 'that Mr, McLaughlin should be a member of the delegation, Chairman McLaughlin called the initial meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Committee in 1928 to order and expressed appreciation of the honor paid in his election to the office, His advice indicated the lines which the proposed body should follow, and declared that the movement was cer- tain to be a success if the men of the city cupported it with the spirit which Oshawa's splendid possibilities no less than its needs demanded, He stressed the fact that the Chamber of Commerce would, as re- gards the City Council and municipal administration generally, be only an advisory body, having no power to legislate. Yet its opportunities for good in that field were to be limited only by the interest of its members, the needs of the community, and the willingness to serve of its executive, Care of Children In general, he declared, it would serve to stimulate public opinion on all matters of vital importance to the city, and would undoubtedly find a watchful interest in education, a mat- ter not only of local service, but to the Proyince as a whole, "The longer .I live," Mr. McLaugh- lin stated, "the more am I convinced of the importance of taking better care of the children (applause). Mr, McLaughlin was followed by Vice-Chairman Conant, who explain- ed that it was hoped to have Secre- tary J. O, Herity, of the Belleyille Chamber of Commerce, present at the meeting but that he had been unable to attend, A letter from Mr, Herity was read, however, He suggested seyeral vital points for the committee's organizing ac- tivity, First, it should not make its membership fee too low. Second, membership should be on an initial three y.ar contract basis, He also pointed out that a directorate of pine members elected by groups of five or four each year for two year terms had worked out advantageously.
