Many Advances y Most interesting of the ad- Laughlin-Buick for 1933 is the vancements disclosed by the Mc- new Fisher system of closed car no-draft ventilation, individually controlled. This feature is cited as one of the most imnortant contributions to car comfort since closed cars themselves arrived on the scene. It is not an acces- sory, but a built-in bodv feature, comnletely sunnlantinz the make- shifts on which motorists have had to depend for ventilation of their cars in the past. Front door windows and the rear quarter windows in the four-door sedans are composed of glass sections split vertically. The front norts swing on a vertical pivot, either outward to drain smoke or im- pure air, or inward to scoon cool- ing breezes inside. Swirling drafts are actually abolished. Instead. incoming air is deflect- ed against the windshield and instrument panel so that it dif- fuses throughout the car, Inci- dentally, the raising and lowering device for rear auarter windows is eliminated, giving inches more width to the rear seat in sedan : _ (Continued on page 5) The longer a coach stays a' one place the moré familiar the alumni get with him.

The meeting, called as the re- sult of joint action by the Chamber of Commerce, the Retail Merchants' Association and the Property Owners' Association, | presented an inspiring picture as it filled the main dining room {of the hotel to capacity, every man present being intent on the {serious business of endeavoring to give Oshawa the type of | city council which is required to restore confidence in the city {in the eyes of the outside world 'and the financial institutions. The present situation facing Oshawa was placed before the meeting fairly and squarely by George W. McLaughlin, chair- man of a special committee which has for some weeks been | surveying and analyzing the whole financial position of Osh- | awa, and his words carried to the minds of his hearers the conviction that the present critical situation could only be met | by determination on the part of every citizen: of Oshawa .to ensure a city council in 1933 capable of grappling with the | problems presented. A canstitution for the new organization | was carried unanimously, and nearly two hundred of 'those present signed obligations "8f 'membership, and" pledged them- | selves to support its aims and objects.

Automobile Firms ad Are Victimizea It is rumored that a party with more brains than principle has been succesful in during two au- tomobile sales agencies in the city. The manner in which the man works is stated to be that of en- tering the agency and telling the gales staff that he intends to pur- chase a car {rom them. Then he leaves the sales room and later returns to tell them that' the money with which he intended to pay for the car belonged to his wife and that in some manner it has been lost. He then asks for a loan in order to trace the money. In two cases in Oshawa, it is learned that the money was ad- vanced from the cash register, 3.00 in one cage and $2.00 in another, and the man left the premises never to return, ed that the car contest, which closes tomorrow night, will add a Substantial total to the fund.
