Oshawa Growing Fast 48 PC In Pas The home building industry in recent years has developed into one of Oshawa's most important industries. Both on a_ direct employment basis as well as through sub-contracts and sup- ply industries, such as building supply firms, provide employ- » ment for several thousand work- "ers. The City Treasury also ben- . efits in terms of new tax dol- lars derived from the hundreds - of new homes constructed each year. t Decade is 66 per cent. This factor also) speaks well of the stability of our Labor force. Pride in home ownership is also quite evident when one travels throughout the residen- tial areas of this city -- be it average, medium or high-priced areas. This is a very important asset to our community climate. One businessman who recently located here was most impress- ed by the industriousness of the people and the high standard which with they maintained their properties, Oshawa is fortunate that through sound Municipal Plan- ning and control, as well as the co-operation of local builders, the expansion and development of residential areas is extreme- ly well planned and designed.

The Canadian average) By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--The Second World War ended 20 years ago but you'd never know it from watching Russian movies. Soviet film studios still grind out features with the kind of anti - German sentiment that characterized Western films in wartime. An example is Father of a Soldier, the most publicized of movies entered in the fourth Moscow film festival in July. | The buildup began weeks be- fore the festival opened and it was obvious that the 90-minute production stood a good chance of taking a major award, It did.

He's also been the "ideas" man behind most of the exhibition's innovations. It was Mr. Powell's brain- storm, for instance, that led to the revival of marathon swims in Lake Ontario during the CNE.
