In a reference to three new plants -- at Oshawa, Windsor and Ste. Therese West -- which will be in production within the next 90 days, Mr. Walker told the meeting: "The steady advance of the Canadian ec- onomy from strength to strength calls the tune of our expansion. ~~ 'The economists see no soft spots Upward Trend Seen In GM's 1965 Sales adian consumer--your customer -- breathes confidence.

"My husband, and five-yeur-ald David tried to put the fire out using the garden hose before the reels came but they didn't have much luck. "The firemen came just three minutes after I called and that sure was a relief." Mrs. Hircock said " .t she didn't know how the fire began. "There is no basement under that part of the house but may- be kids threw a match under the floor from the outside." Mr. Vail, a GM _ night' shift worker, said that he was just dropping off to sleep when the room began to fill with smoke. "Tt sure threw a scare into me," he said. Fire Chief Ray Hobbs said at the scene that he was unable to say what caused the blaze. "We ought to know when we get the place cae down," he said.
