I want to extend to you hearty congratulations, both on becoming a daily newspaper and on your 75th anniversary, The Times-Gazette has always made a tremendous contribution to the welfare of the City of Oshawa and surrounding districts, and as a city I feel that we should all take pride in the fact that we will now have a daily newspaper, 'The Times-Gazette has done much to help the Chamber of Com- merce, and other organizations of 2 similar nature, such as Service Clubs, etc. Mr. Alloway, his associates and staff are to be congratulated for the marvellous job they have done in keeping up the standard of The Times-Gazette, Miss May F.

As a reader of The Times-Gazet- te going back over many years I would like on the occasion of your 75th Anniversary to tell you that it is impossible to find a yardstick by which to measure the value of the services rendered by your newspa- per to Oshawa, Whitby and the County. The example of leadership given, particularly throughout the war years to every war effort is sym- bolical of the kind of newspaper that will help us in our effort as citizens to find the right road out of our post war difficulties. Now that the daily Times-Gazette is about to make its appearance I sincerely hope that those responsible will be given the necessary strength to care TY on even to 8 larger degrees their splendid service to this community. J. Verner McNeely, President of Ministerial Association, Oshawa It affords me great pleasure on be- half of the Oshawa Ministerial As- sociation to felicitate you and to tender our sincere congratulations and good wishes on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of your paper. We are all secretly proud of the press, even though from time to time the critic is more in evidence than the poet. Naturally a paper is a purveyor of news and we are all anxious to know the latest. In these days of keen competition the radio furnishes the announcement but the press gives the statement in detail, In addition let me make special mention of the higly moral tone of your editorials that constantly call our attention to interests of a phil- anthropic, patriotic or religious na- ture. Especially dojwe appreciate the space which is Ygiven to the church and the courtesy and kind- ness we have always received. So on this 75th birthday when your newspaper like the Ark of Noah sails out on the sea of life as a "Daily", we bespeak for you a loyal constituency and an ever en- larging circulation with the passing of the years. Douglas E. Chesebrough, President of The Kinsmen Club of Oshawa: The Times-Gazette and it's fore- runner, The Oshawa Times, has al- ways been one of the best friends the Kinsmen Club of Oshawa has had since the Oshawa Club was formed back in 1028, The Times- Gazette organization, unknown to many, can almost be called the fa- ther of Kinsmenship in this city. For it was in the offices of the Oshawa Daily Times, back in 1928, that the first informal meeting was held that led to the formation of the Kinsmen Club of Oshawa in that year by the Kinsmen Club of Tor- onto, The presentation of the Kinsmen Charter to the Charter President, Dr, L. E. "Lou" Hubbell, was the final outcome of that first get-together in the newspaper of- fice 80 it is readily apparent just - 8 Simcoe N. - TIMES-GAZETTE Back in 1871 we were wearing clothes like these . . . hard collars «+ « « Prince Albert coats : . . yes times have changed but Johnson's have always kept abreast of the styles and have always offered the very latest in men's fashions to our patrons. JOHNSTON'S MENS WEAR Phone 676 how close The Ties. Guaete is to the Kinsmen Clulf of Oshawa, In the many years following, The Kinsmen and the "Times" have grown up together, Tae Kinsmen Club of Oshawa as it is today, with its active membership of young Oshawa business and professional men, works closely with The Times- Gazette on all matters pertaining to the public. The fine support given through this newspaper's columns during the war years, enabled the Oshawa Kinsmen to gather in enough money to purchase almost one half million quarts of milk for the kiddies of Britain. Every one of these donations were reported in The Times-Gazette at no cost to club. During 1944 with H. R. " Hobbs as President, the lo- cal Kinsmen set a record for col- lecting donations and raising mon- ey for Milk for Britain, The Times- Gazette co-operated one hundred percent in reporting and advertis- ing the multitude of events that year. ; So much have the Kinsmen been impressed with the help of The Times-Gazette to their club that each year they hold a "Press Ap- preciation Night" at which all the members of this newspaper are the guests of honour. In a small way this tends to repay them for their many kindnesses during the year. It is a small wonder that we are so ready and willing to extend -our warm congratulations ' in . this Seventy-Fifth Anniversary issue. T..R. McEwen, Inspector of Pub- lic Schools, It gives me great pleasure at this time to join with your readers in extending congratulations on the attainment of your 75th Anniver- sary.

May your future years, and new ventures provide opportunities for even greater expansion and pub- lic service, Alex. W. Bell, Registrar of Deeds, Ontario County: The announcement that the Times-Gazette is to be published daily is received with pleasure, and I am looking forward with interest, to the first issue, This is just another example of the progressive spirit which has been shown by the publishers in the past, and demonstrates their determination to advance, as con- ditions and circumstances may warrant. - I wish for "The Times-Gazette", continued success in this further effort to serve this growing and im- portant district. Alderman Clifford Harman: On the occasion of the 75th Anni- versary of The Times-Gazette I ex- tend sincere congratulations. I have enjoyed this newspaper for many years and have watched its influ- ence grow and develop to the point where it is now one of our commu- nities most important public utili- ties. On October 1, I note that the name of the paper will be changed to "The Daily Times-Gazette" and I extend to the publishers my sin- cere good wishes for the success of this venture. I know the public generally will welcome this added service. William A. Dryden, Maple Shade Farm, Brooklin, General Manager Royal Winter Fair, After more than three score years, and ten, one is justified in having some pride regarding the fact that sustaining life has carried one so far, and the same idea is surely ap- plicable to a newspaper. Your pub. lication is now celebrating its seven- ty-fifth birthday, an achievement in the story of such an organization. The policy of your paper has been acceptable to the general public, and of course also in a thriving cen- tre like Oshawa, both urban and rural, you have had an opportunity which you have wisely taken advan- tage of. My recollection goes back to the Mundys--father and son, Charlie, with whom I have had many pleasant associations, Now I am on speaking terms with the present owners and staff of the paper, My hearty congratulations and best wishes for every success in the future, M. G. Johnston, President, Osha- wa Minor Baseball Association: May we on this occasion, the 75th Anniversary of your paper, congra- tulate you on reaching this mile post, and since you are now devel- oped and will service the Commu- nity with a daily paper may we ex- tend our very best wishes to you. In the past we have enjoyed very wholesome associations with var- ious members of your staff and have always been received very courteously both in respect to our activity in sport and otherwise. We heartily endorse your expansion in the news field and again may we wish you success in the future. From Russell Dingman, Fraser Dingman and Co., Toronto: "Congratulations on the resump- tion of daily publication, I hope it works out splendidly." B. C. Gardner, Vice-President and General Manager, Bank of Mont- real, Montreal: We have learned with interest from Mr, Robert Argo, our Oshawa Manager, that your publication is shortly to observe the 75th anniver- sary of its establishment and we wish to send you our congratula- tions and good wishes, Mr. Argo tells us that the occa- sion will be marked by the inaug-. uration of daily publication of the Oshawa Times-Gazette -- a which will surely be welcome to the people of Oshawa.
