5. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thurdey, April 15, 1968 ANNUAL IODE BRIDGE AND DANCE AT WHITBY CURLING CLUB Guests attending the an- nual Bridge and Dance at the Whitby Curling Club recently were received at the entrance in 'grand fa- shion". The present reign- ing Regent, of the House of Windsor Chapter, Mrs. John received male escorts in as equal a fine fashion. --Oshawa Times Photo Davies and the Honorary Regent, Mrs. R. G. Lang- ford, met the guests as they appeared. Dr. John Davies Should Aid In Development 'Golden Horseshoe' - Mowat WHITBY (Staff) has a bright future and should play a major role in the de- velopment of the Golden Horse- shoe, Mayor Warren Mowat informed the Whitby Rotarians Tuesday. His Worship was guest speaker. The mayor explained the basic workings and composi- tions of the Municipal structure, referring particularly to Whitby. He named the various committees and municipal groups working within the com- munity, Specific praise was directed at the town's munici- pal employees, the town clerk and engineer in particular. Words of tribute were also id to the entire staff includ- ing the police and fire depart- ments. Suggesting the town's busi-. ness is big business, Mayor Mowat referred to the com- munity's $22,000,000 assessment plus, this year. "This is big business in any- one's language," he stated. The mayor further stated, in keep- ing with the 'big business', each Whitby One family can live in a' fancy district and pay more taxes than someone else living in an older section of the com- munity, he stated. "In the first case the family may not have as much income as the second jyet the latter could be very rich," he said. This doesn't seem the wisest way to handle the matter, the minister pointed out. Answering for Mayor Mowat was "Bobbie" Attersley, a member of the Whitby Town council and chairman of finance. Councillor Attersley explained that in this Demo- cratic country taxes are based on a man's real property and not on what he earns. The councillor agreed Rev. Van- harmelen had a good sugges- tion but stated it was not feas- ible in Canada although it might be practised in Euro- pean countries. Questioned on whether the council is attempting to curb residential growth, Mayor Mowat introduced his personal councillor is constantly striving towards the best for the town. "Councillors feel it is their own money they are spending," the mayor said, "and are most careful how it is spent." SEEN AS KEY Turning to the question of town planning, His Worship said future developments will conform entirely with the town's Master Plan. He cited the Canadian Bank of Com- merce as a good example. "The Bank of Commerce is the 'key' towards future develop- ment of the town's business section in proximity to the four corners," he said. "When the bank was constructed it was built along the specifications laid down by the Master Plan thoughts. "I do not want you to misinterpret my suggestion but, I feel residential expansion is necessary; it should not be strangled.

Lott; vice-president, Mr. Ron- ald Hawkins; sec. treas., Mrs. Ron Childs. This league has been operat- ing for the past five seasons, approximately 100 girls from the ages of 12 to 16 participat- ing. A four team league oper- in regard to 'set back', the mayor added. | Commenting lightly on the) tax structure, His Worship said) the council can do very little) about the fixed expenditures in-| cluding office expenses, wages) and other such items. His Wor-| ship said the property owner is) maintaining approximately 96 per cent of the tax load and that the council is attempting to find out what can be done about it. "There are some things the council can do, some they shall do and many things the council cannot do," he said. The balance of the meeting was turned over to a question and an§wer period with several Rotarians posing complex ques- tions. One such question or sug- gestion was broached by Rev. John Vanharmelen, Christian Reformed Church minister. Rev. Vanharmelen stated he lived in the township of Whitby and paid approximately $260. taxes on his home. He further suggested he is earning a rea- sonably high wage. He said ates besides a juvenile and jun- jor entry in the provincial play- offs. It is hoped that the Towns- people will make an effort to attend some of these games. All girls from ages 12 to 16 are welcome to play.

Open Evenings and Weekends HOW TO AVOID A REPOSSESSION No industry has benefitted more from the finance business than automobiles. There is one fly in the ointment though, It is thot -not all cars sold on finance stoy sold Of the 64% of used cars and 75% of new sold to time-buyers each year, an avernge 5.6% are repossessed. The small finance companies have by for the highest percentage of repossessions -- up to 20% ------ while the large firms report as little as 2.9%. Of the total, 20% are ultimately redeemed. Some of these are due to illness, death, strikes and seasonal unemployment. But a big percentage could have been avoided if the buyer had put a little more equality into his cor in the first place. On long term finance a point is sometimes reached where the car needs repairs which the customer has difficulty affording in addition to his. regular payments, If the unpaid balance on the car, plus repairs, totals close to the automobile's market value, as sometimes happens, then © repossession may occur. The customer has needlessly fost all he put into the car, and the dealer will lose along with him in having to repay the finance company and resell the car. At Northside Chrysler Dodge (Whitby) Ltd. we con of course, provide the longest possible terms, if the customer's situation warronts it, But if we urge the buyer to pay as much down with the fewest payments he can afford, he is the one to gain.
