McLaughlin's 90th birthday to pass without suitable recognition as the history of his family is irrevocably tied to the history and development of Oshawa and General Motors.

R. S. McLaughlin. It will be a tribute that has grown spontaneously out of the deep feelings of affection and gratitude felt by the community for a man who has never, in his long years of brilliant achievement, forgotten his origins, his neighbors or his friends--and to him, all the people of the city and district have been friends and neighbors. The story of his achievements in industry has been told and retold. Less often has the story been told of the Mr. Sam who has identified him- self so closely with his community that he has left some trace of his presence or personality almost everywhere one turns. This evening's gathering will be held in Memorial Park -- and it was Mr. Sam who con- tributed the bandshell there. No matter from which direction the people come to reach the park, they will pass some project which depended on Mr. Sam for its success or very being: Camp Samac, Lakeview Park, the General Hospital, the Golf Club, the Public Library, Union Cemetery War Veterans' Plot -- the list goes on and on. We of The Times join the citizens of Oshawa and neighboring communities in wishing Col. McLaughlin a happy birthday and many more years of vigorous and fruitful life -- and we do so with a sense of wonderment that one man could accomplish so much in the brief space of 90 years. captain but broke up after a 'Pact Clo: aC ose fied the Canadian as Capt.

The evening's program will commence at 7:30 p.m. Citi- zens of Oshawa and district are urged to be in their seats at the park by 7:15 p.m. so that the various features of the program can be run off with a minimum of noise. CEREMONIAL PARADE Prior to the program at the park, there will be a ceremonial parade from Parkwood which will afford citizens who might not otherwise be able to crowd much to the development and welfare of the community. Col. McLaughlin will ride from his home to the park in a 1908 Buick. Other vehicles, sup- plied by General Motors of Can- ada Limited will convey Mayor Christine Thomas and T. D. Thomas, MLA for Oshawa Rid- ing, His Honor and Mrs. Ale C. Hall and members of Col. McLaughlin's party. The General Motors Pipe Band and a guard of honor, composed of members of the Ontario Regiment, will lead the parade from the Oshawa Arm- ories to Memorial Park. The motorcade will circle the park before coming to a stop on the south side of Metcalfe street, near the shell. Lieutenant Colonel J. R. War- nica, commanding officer of the Ontario Regiment, will escort into the park to pay their tribute | to a man who has contributed so McLAUGHLIN HONORED BY OSHAWA Citizen Medal Col.

PRESENT MERIT MEDAL The Oshawa Merit Medal, which was specially struck for the occasion, will be presented to Col.
