The proposal is that all future large build- ings, whether they be department stores, factories, apartment houses, public "halls, tourist homes, warehouses, places of enter- tainment and other types of building shall be required to provide adequate parking space for the automobiles of those using them. From the standpoint of public convenience, this scheme has much to recommend it. Since the central business section of the city is to be exempt from this requirement, it will not give any relief to the downtown parking problems. But it will ensure that in future development within the city limits and out- side'of that area, there will be adequate pro- vision for parking spaces. It may be that this will work some hard- ship on those planning to build such estab- lishments as are covered by the new bylaw outside of the main business section. It means that they will have to provide a prop- erty sufficiently large to leave the space required for parking, and that, of course, will add to the costs of their establishments. However, since the by-law requirements will be known, that will have to be taken into consideration in making plans for new large buildings. a The planning Board is to be commended on the keen interest which it is taking, in con- junction with its advisory committee, in the the most remarkable men of his time. Those whe knew him then, and enjoyed his addres. WALD amas vv, asasss ses here, will be delighted to know of this new recognition which has been given to him. * : : The Automotive Picture Figures issued by the Federal Bureau of Statistics regarding automobile sales in Canada for the first eight months of 1951 indicate. that when the year's record for 1951 is complete, it will compare very favor- ably with that for 1950. so far as the Cana- dian automotive industry is concerned. This is in spite of the reports of a slump in the sale of automobiles and trucks during recen months. . : NN According to the figures up to the end of August, the decrease in sales of automobiles 'and trucks in Canada was only 462 as com- pared with 1950, the totals being 292,298 for this year and 292,760 last year. What is mare significant from the stand- point of the Canadian industry, however, is the fact that the sales of Camtdian and American-made cars actually increased in 1951, being 192,000 for this year and 175,000 for 1950. The over-all slight decrease was entirely due to the fact that sales of cars imported from Britain slumped very badly during the eight months period. In the first eight months of 1951 only 24,000 British cars were sold as compared with 48,000 in 1950. Thus the British car market decline more than discounted the increase in sales of Canadian and American-made cars. These figures are also significant because they show there.have been valleys and peaks in automobile sales this year. It is possible that the last four months of the year may show declines from 1950, in which year these were months of high sales. But taking the year as a whole, and largely due to the heavy sales in the first three or four months, the year will level off fairly close to the 1950 total. Han That indicates that the Canaaian people are still automobile-conscious, and that there is no need for anything but optimism re- garding the future of the industry.

Dr. Tehyi Hsieh Many citizens of Oshawa who recall the | vigits made to Oshawa some twenty years | 2go by Dr. Tehyi Hsieh will be interested in the fact that this distinguished former | Chinese official is again in the news. It is | reported from Boston that because of his | great services to the state, the municipal authorities and the legal profession, he has been appointed a Justice of the Peace, the first time this honor has ever been conferr- ed in the United States upon a native of China. The 'ceremony took place recently in | the State House at Boston, where he was sworn in before Edward J. Cronin, Massa- chusetts secretary of state. Dr. Hsieh first came to Oshawa as a Chautaugua lecturer, and made several other visits to the city. On one occasion he gave a brilliant address to the Oshawa Rotary Club. On another, he entertained a group of prominent Oshawa citizens at a dinner serv- ed in the Chinese manner. He was at that time Trade Commissioner for China to Cana- | da and the United States. He was at one time closely associated with the royal house in China, but took a prominent part in the Sun-Yat-Sen revolt, for which he was sen- tenced to death, but was. reprieved. He then went to the United States, where he has lived ever since. Unable to give his allegiance to the Communist regime in China, he be- came an American citizen, and has given 'his life in service to his adopted country. Dr. -Hsieh will be, remembered by those who met him and heard him in Oshawa as a brilliant student, with an amazing knowledge and control of the English language. A gra- duate of Cambridge University, England, he has honorary degrees-from half-a-dozen Am- erican universities. He has held the highest offices in Masonry, and is the only Chinese member of the American Branch of the In- ional Law Association.

But not this time. Walter Thomson has said his Lib- erals will be, taking better than 50 seats, But this has the nature of a political statement. There is no- | body else in Liberal circles we know of giving any such estimate. And the other parties have nothing to say at all except the most cautious estimates. We have done quite a bit of trav- elling about the province since the election was called. And we have been in touch with reporters out with the various leaders. And from this we would say the elec- tion could result in anything from a sweep for Mr. Frost to a minor- ity government as there was in | 1943-45. The crux of the matter is how firm public confidence will re- main with Mr. Frost throughout the campaign and how much appeal Mr. Thomson's strenuous efforts | will have with the electorate. The premier was slow to warm up to the campaign and his early efforts were disappointing to ob- servers. He is the type of man, of course, who could never be at his best on the hustings. His big assets are his balance, his humaneness and his sincerity, and these are dif- {is not any great | his 'many other facilities. Who's Winning ? ficult qualities to put across from 8 public platform. But even with this his early speeches were inclined to be quite dull. And of course audiences weren't inclined to show any strong enthusiasm. in his recent appearances he has corrected this somewhat. He has shortened his addresses and has been dealing more with straight po- litical mattefs~However, there still yident enthusiasm, Mr. Thomson, according to the boys out with him, is the reverse. He is getting good crowds as is the premier for the most part and with showmanship is whipping up good enthusiasm. The test, however, will be whe- ther the Liberal leader is really do- ing a better job of selling than the premier Mr. Frost's basic appeal is the trust that can be put in him. And over the length of the campaign his reserved approach probably will do more to establish this with the electors than any free-swinging campaign On the other hand the Thomson appeal is in his vigor 'and imagi- nation. But in turn he could quite easily over himse! People could quite well be enthusiastic while under his spell-at a meeting, but change their minds wh it cores down to the serious business of voting " iE ---- ENTERTAINS MINERS Oslo (CP) -- A spacious and well- equipped community centre for en- tertainment of coal miners will he completed at Longyear city in the Arctic province of Spitsherzen. i.e sturdy concrete building boasts a meeting hall with 690 seats and | | ed groups is the only solution to | | South Africa's labor shortage, said | G.
