Oshawa,—The 75th Anniversary of the founding of the McLaughlin Car- riage Company, the forerunner of General Motors of Canada, Limited, was observed here last week. There was no let-up in production at Com- pany plants, which have turned out hundreds- of thousands of vehicles and armored units, since war began. In 1869, the late Robert McLaugh- lin founded a carriage shop at Ennis- killen, Ontario, with four employees. Today, nearly 15,000 men and women are employed exclusively on war pro- duction in General Motors plants across Canada. Among these workers are men who once built carriages for Robert McLaughlin. They have come out of retirement to apply their skill and craftsmanship on the • assembly line for Mosquito Bomber fuselages. This span of years from "buggies to bombers" saw McLaughlin carriages recognized as the- finest in Canada; the introduction of the first McLaugh- lin car in 1907 . . the famed Model F . . . . ; production of the first Chevrolets; formation of General Motors of Canada and the building of more than a million and a half motor cars, the last in 1942. The expansion of Robert McLaugh- lin's Carriage business forced the com- pany to move to a railroad town and in 1879 a new carriage factory was built in Oshawa. Improvements in the product were frequent, among them the McLaughlin patent buggy gear. This made the product more attractive and there was a move to still larger premises. R. S. McLaughlin, who with his brother George had become partners with their father, recognized the pos- sibilities of the horseless carriage and prevailed upon the Company execu- tives to make the big step and enter the motel* car field, ; 75th Anniversary, of Founding of McLaughlin Carriage Co.

I have had to have one eye removed but I think my right eye will come along fine. I saw the doctor yesterday and he thinks I will see but it will take time. Please don't worry mother, I am being well looked after. I am get- ting one of the girls to write this for me, but as soon as I can see I will write a letter myself.

I am sitting in my truck waiting to get loaded for another night blackout driv- ing.

I have been up to the tailend of the front line but haven't seen action of any account. I have hauled quite a few prisoners.
