THIRTY YEARS AGO Volunteer Labor Built Legion Hall A new home for the Osh- awa branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, which Branch 43 president, Mau- rice Proctor, announced jast week, will cost an esti- mated. $250,000. : Construction is expected to begin in the summer months on_ the building which will rise _ Legion rty at Mill and Simcoe eas i is expected that a house' on the site will be demolished to give needed room for the project. The Branch 43 property committee has been work- ing.on the project for some fime and arrangements for the final plans of the new building are under way. The move to a new head- new committee was formed, under Arthur J. Tierney, and it was decided to ask the mem- bers if they would give their labor free to make their dream come true. This proposal was presented to the next meeting and to a man, the unemployed members volunteered to donate their services. Monday, Sept. 25, was the date set for the start on the excavations for the first unit of the building. The financial problem had still not been solved but work was started anyway. The branch and the ladies' auxiliary had only $1000 be- tween them and the site which the city had given them in 1930. Financial aid came quickly. Citizens realizing the sacrifice being made by the members jonered their help.

(CP)-- The Superior Auto Service plans to present a brief to the legislature calling for a nine- cent-a-gallon margin of profit on retail gasoline sales. The Sudbury - based organ- ization started a strike of serv- ice station operators Monday to protest removal of a one-cent gas subsidy by oil pani Fifty-five stations closed Tues- day to join 125 others that locked their pumps Monday. The move virtually seals off gas outlets on a 100 - mile stretch of Highways 69 and 103. Elwood Smith, chairman of the service organization which claims to represent 80 per cent of the area's service stations, said a meeting agreed to ask for legislation to allow all On- tario service station operators a nine-cent-a-gallon profit on retail sales. The brief will also ask the government to prohibit oil com- panies using company - oper- ated service stations to dis- criminate against their own | dealers, Mr. Smith said. He said the organization will include a request for legislation ing their dealers to buy tires, batteries and accessories @ prices above competitive whole- sale rates. REMOVE SUBSIDY The strike followed removal of the one-cent-a-gallon subsidy and an increase of one cent a gallon on gasoline sold to deal- ers by oil companies. The deal- ers went to raise gallon profits to 8.5 cents from the present 5.5 cents. About 200 operators on High- way 11 between Bracebridge and Barrie plan to remain closed today in token sympathy with the striking. service sta- tions. R. N. Bubbs, Ontario regional manager of marketing for Im- perial Oil, said in a statement Tuesday: 'Imperial dealers in the Parry Sound area establish their own prices at the pump. Imperial sells gas to its deal- ers at a fair price determined by competition with other sup- pliers in the area."
