Urge All Be Seated By 7.15P.M. The committee arranging for the public reception on Thurs- day evening, September 7th, in Memorial Park for Col. R. §. McLaughlin on the occasion of his 90th birthday which falls on the following day, September 8th, are anxious that as many . [citizens as possible will congre- gate in Memorial Park not later than 7:15 o'clock. This will be a demonstration of affection by the people of Oshawa for Oshawa's most pop- ular citizen. The program which will be published in more detail in later issues will prove to be a most interesting one and the occasion will be a highlight in the long career of this beloved citizen. Mr. McLaughlin will be met at Memorial Park with a Guard of Honor from the Ontario Regi- ment and the tribute to him on behalf of the people of Oshawa will be given by His Honor Judge Alex Hall and a presen- tation made by Her Worship Mayor Christine Thomas. Realtor Sees No Change The provincial retail sales tax, effective September 1, is not likely to affect the sale of real estate, said Lloyd Met. calfe, president of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board. The Ontario executive of the National House Builders' Asso- ciation recently stated they expect a fall slump in the sale of new houses. Since the tax will cover house building mate- rials, the cost of new houses will be raised by about $200, according to the association. To avoid the extra cost, many have been buying their houses during the summer, they say. The small increase in cost is not likely to deter anyone who wants to buy a house, Mr. Metcalfe stated. Other things, such as the increase of costs for lots, have raised the price of buying a new house, and sales haven't declined, he stated. | Real estate brokers are tak- |ing orders for Dew houses 2 : i _|normal prices at presen Eleven days later, city coun spite of the tax, he sald.
