18 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, February 26, 1954 McLellan's Tire Service Has Expanding Business The motto of McLellan's Tire and Battery Service since its form- ation has aiways been: "We're here to do a job and we try to do it as best we can." The business was started by Vie- tor McLellan in 1935 and ten years later he moved to the present site in Prince Street. He enlarged the building, adding a store room and garage. Two years ago he brought about a further expansion of the business by renting .a servicing station in Ajax. "A staff of eight, including a fully-trained mechanic are ready at the Prince Street station to deal with customers immediately. Everything possible is done to ensure that a car brought in for | Vi servicing can get back on the road | 8 with a minimum of delay. In addition to the sale and fit- ting of Firestone tires and the sale and re-charging of batteries, vul- canising and car washing are among the services provided at McLellan's. The mechanic stands by to deal with any technical troubles. McLellan's Tire and Battery Ser- vice looks to a bright future. "We have always tried to ma.ntain a good service and will concinue to do so. We have a job to do so we dc it. That's the way we look at things,"' said Vietor.

'As observed over the years the spiritual essence of Brotherhood Week grows out of the common kinship of man under God" --Mr. Jones declared. idea the and the hope that eventually the of brotherhood will provide basis for individual freedom universal peace. . One of the best ways we can each contribute toward this goal is to get together with our friends and neighbours, fellow workers strangers and enjoy a fellowship possible only where people are free, a fellowship that transcends race, creed or national origin, FORCES OF GOODWILL All through the nation, the week's programs will mobilize the forces of goodwill in strengthening the understanding and respect existing among the diverse groups that make up the Canadian scene," con- tinued Mr. Jones.

Robertson Davies of Pel @ Chamber Of Commerce Has Splendid Record Of Service The Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, established in 1928, is a tal force for the building of a big and a greater Oshawa. An organization of public-spirited citi- zens, who down through the last quarter of a century have given unselfish. and devoted service to the interests of the city, it has taken a place of leadership in everything which was believed to be for the benefit of the commun- ity and its people. Today, it is op- erating at a standard of ef- ficiency, ever alert for every op- portunity which may come its way 0 serve Oshawa. For many years, before the Chamber Commerce came into being, Oshawa was Served by a Board of Trade, whose existence dated back to the declining years of the last century. It was purely of voluntary body, with no paid of- ficials or staff, and its fortunes fluctuated time to time. In the middle twenties of the pres- ent century, when Oshawa began to show its first burst of phenomenal growth, many' of the prominent citizens felt that the old Board of Trade did not serve on a sufficient- ly comprehensive scale the needs of the city. A demand arose for the organization of a Chamber of Com- merce, sufficiently well financed to have a paid secretary and staff, and built on a strong foundation of interest on the part of the indus- trial, business and commercial seg- er * ments of the city. "This spiritual quality gives us ORG. IN 1928 On March 1, 1928, as a result of an intensive campaign, the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce was organ- ized, with the late George W. Mec- Laughlin, who was chairman of the organization committee, as its first president, the late Gordon D. Con- ant as vice-president and Leon Fraser was engaged as its first secretary. Since these first days of its exis- tence, down to the present, the Chamber of Commerce has continu- ed to promote the welfare and the best interests of (Oshawa. No op- portunity was ever lost of taking action which would be of benefit to Oshawa. In the securing of new in- dustries, in securing aetion to- wards the development of Oshawa harbor and the establishment of the Oshawa Airport, is pressing for greater federal recognition of the needs of the city, the Chamber has aiways been in the forefront. STRONG LEADERSHIP The Chamber of Commerce has always been fortunate in having the leadership of outstanding pub- lic-spirited citizens as presidents, officers and directors, and these men have given unsparingly of their time in promoting the de- velopment of the city. During the depression years, like everything else in Oshawa the Chamber of Commerce suffered some setbacks, particularly in the matter of financial support. But it never gave up its activities, and even in these days served a usef purpose in helping to maintain the morale of the citizens during these trying days. It kept up its place of community leadership during the war years, when its resources were ever available for any activity for the promotion of the war effort of the community and country. Today thé Chamber of Commerce is enjoying a substantial revival in support and in activity. Under the leadership of able presidents, and with Lew McConkey as its capable and energetic secretary, it has tak- en part in the march of progress of Oshawa, and has been a vital force in the marked development of recent years. Its hand is to be found .in every forward movement for the betterment of Oshawa, in the efforts, sometimes successul, to attract new industry and to as- sist those already in existence, in its promotion of the securing of a new federal building for Oshawa and in every phase of community life in which it can be of service. The Chamber today is the focal ground for the organization of the retail business men of the city, who form its retail section. This section is divided into some 18 trade classification, each with its own chairman, with Morley Wy- man as the general chairman, and these groups are active in the pro- motion of the retail business of the R The Junior Chamber of Com. merce, an affiliated body. is anoth- er very active segment of 'the Chamber, and is made up of a group of young men who have strong civic pride, and are anxious to play their part in the develop- ment of Oshawa. They have been very successful in the promo- tion of industrial and home furnish- ings fairs, and have shown a ca- pacity for public service which will stand them and the city in good stead in the years to come. Another activity of the Chamber ul |of Commerce which absorbs a large amount of time and energy is the operation of a Better Business Bur- eau, for the protection of business people and the citizens generally against business rackets and un- desirable promotion schemes. As many as 50 letters a day are re- quired to deal with the business of this bureau, which is at the service of all the citizens of Oshawa to protect them against being vitim- ized by racketeers and schemers. PUBLICIZES OSHAWA The Chamber is active in mak- ing known throughout the world the advantages of Oshawa as 'an indus- trial centre, and deals with many inquiries for business and indus- trial locations. While results from these inquiries may not always be successful, they have helped in the all-round development of the city. The Chamber of Commerce ex- ists to serve the people of the com- munity, and on its record of the past 26 years it has done its job well, Eccentric Widow Dislikes Real Estate Operators VICTORIA (CP) -- Mrs. Alice May Dobeson, elderly widow who threw an assortment of scrap iron through a window of the treasury office here, refused bail and in- fisted on spending Thursday night ail.

Tuna Fish Disappearance VANCOUVER (CP) -- Skipper Jack Noble, air force 'veteran turned fisherman, and his 120- pound wife are as puzzled as other experts over disappearance of the tuna fish run off the British Col- umbia coast. Up to three years ago the highly- prized tuna kept five B.C. canner- es in operation. Then, the next year, not a tuna was sighted, and the only tuna sold here since has been caught by Canadian boats off southern California or came in frozen from Japan. & | 5 SERVING THE AUTOMOTIVE PUBLIC SINCE 1935 WITH FAMOUS FIRESTONE PRODUCTS Firestone PRODUCTS TIRES and SERVICE FOR ALL CARS, _ TRUCKS, TRACTORS Vulcanizing and Retreading Complele Farm Tire Service FIRESTONE BATTERIES FIRESTONE TIRES AND BATTERIES 38 PRINCE ST.

In fishing for tuna, they said, on the end of an unweighted 80 foot line is placed a double, barb- feathers, or perhaps a rubber less, stainless steel hook hidden in a bundle of red and white chicken squid. Towed at five or six knots, the lure bounces along the surface until the tuna strikes. The Lady Royal can put 17 lines out. Excitement causes the tuna's temperature to rise to between 70 and 80 degrees. If iced immed- iately not only will the ice melt quickly but the fish will split up the back. They have to be left on deck under wet sacks for two hours before icing. But gone are the good days when vessels like the Lady Royal' made $5,500 in two weeks. Most of B.C's 100 tuna boats have transferred to salmon or halibut.
