CARNIVAL SUCCESS The Community Club carnival and street dance held in Grasses Park -- the little triangle park in the heart of Brooklin -- last Friday evening was a huge success. The business men and all their helpers threw everything into their effort and all booths proved popular and profitable. Ray K dy, chairman of the 'CRA Boys' Bicycle Club Camps Overnight Last Thursday night, July 29, 'was the first time in the CRA's history that an over-night camp- 4ng trip was held. Several members of the CRA's ' Boys' Bicycle Excursion group, un- 'der the supervision of Ed. Broad- "bent, set out from the building on Gibbs Street at 2 p.m. on Thurs- 'day. Their bicycles were loaded down with food and supplies for their first over-night jaunt, but their eagerness quelled any feeling 'that they wouldn't make it. An hour and a half later a little "tired but still full of anxiety, the 10 to 15 year olds, arrived at the 2 Third Oshawa Camp Site, three 'miles north of the Tremeddan Mo- . on Kingston Road East. They i their tents that afternoon Bs. since the ground had been * soaked by the afternoon rain they decided to "play it safe' and sleep in dry quarters. Consequently they slept in the 3rd Scouts' cabin (in- doors -- much to their disgust). On Friday they played outdoor games, swam and explored the woods. They also * cooked their breakfast and dinner, which in- cluded bacon, eggs, peas, potatoes and meat. Much to everyone's sur- prise the food was quite edible. (Nothing tastes better to a boy than fresh beans cooked over an open fire). About 3 p.m. Friday a group of tired but "experienced" campers rode their bikes up to the CRA building. Another of the Bicycle Excursion group's hikes was com- pleted. Any boys between the ages of ten and fifteen who are interested in cycling and camping are urged to call the CRA at 5-1111. +Dealer Car Sales 'Behind Last Year "OTTAWA -- Canadian motor ve manufacturers slashed fac- i au 'of Statistics reported shipped 37,284 cars , a reduction of 13,306. cut, sharpest in 1954 8 per cent slice in Ap: of 12 per cent in reases in the first two the year held the five- to 8 per cent, the total units shipped comparing ,798 a year ago. sales, which Save been downgrade since the start averaged 17 per cent be- 1953 level in the five r car shipments in May 30,135, down 5,886, or 16 "per cent, but five-months ship- y ts were slightly higher at 170,- ainst 169,228.

By BILL HOWARD Hig gang! This column today is the 30th edition of Teen Town News. Of these 30 I have 29 and will likely write quite a few in the future, although I hope to turn the column over to an up-coming mem- ber of Teen Town in the near fu- ture, so that I may spend all of my time on organization of activities. As most of you know Teen Town has an organizing committee com- posed of Rona Thompson, Jerry King and yours truly and it is hop- ed that this committee will have a great deal to do with the expansion of Teen Town activities and in bet- terring teenage recreation in Osh- awa, At this time I would like to leave Teen Town to bring up the subject of community rinks for children. At the present time the rink committee is working very hard for its objective. I would just like to ask all of our members and their parents and every other citizen of Oshawa to co-operate with and sup- port this project. Teen Town thinks its good and if you think it over you'll think its good. Support them, eh, gang! Now to skip back to the Wiener Roast and the picture in The Times- Gazette last week. This picture was taken by your fellow member Pet- er Shaw not Bill Howard as print- ed. This is not the fault of The Times-Gazette but the fault of yours truly who neglected to inform the Times as to who the photog- rapher was. Sorry Pete and thanks a million for the help. It had been noted by some execu- tive and committee members that you kids are pretty enthusiastic about having the dance each and every Friday, summer or winter, so through the courtesy of CRA and its facilties, there will be a Teen Town dance every Friday at 8 p.m. all year round, starting this Fri- day evening. . Now remember we are all turn- ing to work so that you can have fun, so be sure to turn out and bring a friend or two. Membership cards are once again on sale and we would like to see every teen- ager in Oshawa and district an ac- tive member of CRA Teen Town. We teenagers must unite in order to be in the position to obtain more, better recreation for the teenagers of Oshawa. This column may seem a little mild after the last couple of weeks but we still think we need more adult moral support even though it seems an endless battle to wake up the citizens of Oshawa. I think that the kids deserve a lot of 'credit for what they are doing to better the community for the citizens of today and for themselves as the citizens of tomorrow. Even though a lot of people won't give the kids credit I do and right now I would like to say "thanks a million kids, some- day we'll abpreciate your efforts." While I think of it I would just like to mention the fact that I am not a member of the CRA staff and I am not paid by CRA or Teen Town but I am merely another member of Teen Town who is doing his bit for the community. This is for the information of any person who is wondering why I do this work. Till Friday at 8, this is Bill How- ard (just plain Bill to you) saying, "We're fighting for you Gang, so some on down and back us up." Thanks!

JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) -- The Newfoundland government Tuesday was dropped as a plaintiff against Dr. Alfred A. Valdmanis but the amount the 47-year-old Latvian is accused of getting by fraud was increased by $50,000 to $470,000. The unexplained action in amending the charges was dis- closed by the attorney - general's department as Valdmanis was taken to the St. John's courthouse for the second day of his private preliminary hearing. The immigrant economic affairs expert originally was accused of swindling the Newfoundland gov- ernment of $150,000 and the r- man firm of Miag Vertriebsgesell- schaft of an additional $270,000. The amendment substitutes a second German company, Benno Schilde, for the government and increases the amount by $50,000. Valdmanis is accused of engin- iii Wh frauds while working as ctor-general of Newfound- land economic development, a post he resigned last Feb. 10. He was arrested April 23 at St. Andrews N.B., and returned here, There was no indication when the two star witnesses for the de- fence, Premier Joseph Smallwood and Attorney-General Leslie R. Curtis, would be called to testify. Both were subpoenaed by defence attorney Gordon F. Higgins some weeks ago, SAINT JOHN, N.B. (CP)--Rail- way summer resorts and exclusive, provincially-owned tourist hotels 'may have a reputation for high prices and wealthy clientele, but many are non-profit investments, often operating at a considerable loss. That's the consensus of tour- ist officials in the Atlantic prov ince. Some resort hotels barely make expenses and, considered on a seasonal basis, they are 'white elephants" It is their "hidden" money-making qualities that change them from liabilities to long-term investments that pay some dividends, transportation of- ficials said. For instance, one of Canada's largest railway summer hotels loses money every day it stays open, yet the income it attract through train fares, berths and meals, more than compensates for the loss. HOW IT WORKS OUT When a business man from Mont- real takes his family for a three- week vacation to a resort in the Rockies, he makes the railway company happy by traveling the 3,000-odd miles by train and at the same time gets more than his ii ashe SERN ERE a -------- _----. » ng 2 PT CE 2 arrival in British Col- | Edinburgh was gree reg, Pu Brick Cok | Biiuburgh wae greeted on.

Classy Resort Hotels Often Make No Profit money's worth by staying at the super-service hotels. e same applies to government- owned summer resorts. A popular hotel in Nova Scotia shows a small operational profit and an actual 98 loss on the initial capital invest- ment. But the fact that incoming tourists have to spend four to six days and a tidy sum of money while travelling through the prov- ince turns the loss into a wide- spread benefit. RATES SAME AS 1920s Considering the quality of the railway hotels, the prices are rel- atively low. Since the 1920s rates have barely shown an increase while the general cost of living has skyrocketted. Single accommoda- tion ranges from $12 to $17 a day, including meals. Fancy summer hotels do not at- tract only the extremely rich, as is often thought, but a generous portion of the upper middle class. The very wealthy, as a rule, pre- fer to build their own summer cottages. Maritime hotels report that most of their Canadian cus- tomers are middle class business men from Ontario and Quebec. How are lower-priced motel af- fecting the business of the exclus- ive resorts? Not a bit. The mana- ger of one of the finest hotels in Nova Scotia says motels and tour- ist cabins don't affect his busi ness. PLASTICS SHOW OSLO (CP) -- The Norwegian plastics federation which includes more than 50 of Norway's leading manu'acturers of plastics, will sponsor an international plastics exhibition here in October.
