The extent to which mobile homes have become an accepted part of every community is indi- cated by the increasing output of General Coach Works of Canada, Ltd., at Henseli, which this spring has necessitated a 25,500 -foot plant additihn. Past President R. L. Thorn spoke to the convention and was reported by The Canadian Mobile Home as follows: As an association we have come a -long way since the Canadian Coach A ssociation--stta,s—or ganized three years ago. Our pro- gress is matched in many respects by the changes that have taken place in our product; compared with the beautiful mobilehomes be- ing built in Canada today, the house trailer of 1953 is like an ancient horse buggy alongside a streamlined limousine. It,„was ap- propriate, therefetre, th`at we 'adopted our new name a few months ago recognizing our ad- vancement from an overgrown travel trailer to a completely mod- ern home on wheels. What does this primary objec- tive mean to us in the year 1956, and what have we done as an As- sociation to accomplish new im- provements during the last twelve months? In the Canadian Mobile Home Association, we are divided into several categories = mobilehome. owners, dealers. park operators, and so on—and at times, each of these groups, could easily get wrap- ped up in its own interests, neg- lecting the others. Happily, we are all united by our common de- termination "to improve mobile - home living conditions in Can- ada". In my view, and I know it is a view shared by all your directors, our success year by year is im- .proving mobilehame living condi- tions in Canada _depends on the gen.eral public's attitude toward mobilehomes. The general public's attitude to- wards mobilehomes, in turn, is conditioned by our efforts to win the public's confidence in mobile - homes. The public wilf never come to us; we must always be willing to seek out the public. We must persuade the public that mo- bilehomes are a good thing for Canada. I repeat this opinion, which we all share, because it is at the root of our success as an Associa- tion. The better our public rela- tions, the better we will be . able to improve mobilehome living con- ditions in Canada. Local Scene Important With this primary objective in mind. the Association has contin- ued in its efforts to improve our public relations at the local level, at the provincial level, and at the federal level. Let's look at these one by one, beginning_ with the local scene. This is perhaps the crux of our public relations effort, for it is at the local levfl that the mobile - home makes its greatest impact on the general pubdic. As far as the man in the street is concerned, the mobilehome is just coming into its own. A few years ago, he tended to regard the "trailer coach' as a second class dwelling, suitable for gypsies and the like. Recently. he has come „to know it better, through exhibi- tions. trade shows and. publicity in the press. During the last year, the Association, or its members independently, have taken an ac- tive part in exhibitions and local shows in almost every province. Most of the people who walked through the mobilehomes on dis- play will probably ne r live in them, but at least their yes were opened up td what the mobile me is—a beautiful homeon wheels with all the comforts and conveni- ence of a modern apartment, And, of course, many of those who did visit a mobilehome exhi- bition for the first time last year, have since made an important de- cision as a result. They are now happy mobilehome owners. Mobilehome production has ris- en, literally by leaps and bounds, in the last few years, and 1955 was by far the best year in our history. The Association estimates our total production of mobilehomes last year at more than 2,000 units. This is an impressive figure, when - you consider that one out of every fifty new homes built in Canada last year was a mobilehome. In addition, more than 500 mobile - homes were imported from the United States. Mobilehomes are now in use in thousands of Canadian communi- ties, from Gander, Newfoundland, to Kitimat, British Columbia, and from Windsor, Ontario, to Church- ill, Manitoba. More new mobile - homes will roll out to every corner of the country this year than. ever before. And, of course, as the numbers of mobilehomes increase our pub- lic relations problems grow, too. TTENTION BASEBALL FANS! IT TIGERS eek End dames - At Horne and Away 7 PLAY-BY-PLAY BY KEN ELLIS ON At the local leVeli3Our Malik ittlbs lie relations effort, must continue to be directed towards achieving fair and just legislation by-laws which protect the local ratepayers, and the rights of the mobilehome families, too. We have been able, to interest many municipalities in adopting a modern mobilehome by-law, which sets out a fair -tau- tiOn scheme and regulations cov- ering sanitation and general lay - Secondly, there is our public re- lations effort at the provincial lev- el. .In many ways, the Rica' and provincial levels are interdepend- ent, so we must be always alert to correlate our efforts at each of these levels. I- think -everyone- is—awaro-that- our primary objective during the last 12 months was to bring to the attention of the Ontario Govern- ment the need for, and desirability of, a comprehensive mobilehome act. Let me pay tribute at this time to the undertaking sponsored by General Coach Works of Canada, last July, when!our Association, in cooperation with the Michigan Mobile Home Association, took a party representing the Ontario De- partments of Health, Planning and Development, and Municipal Af- fairs, to a special mobilehome ex- position in Michigan. There is no doubt that what the Ontario gov- erhment members and officials saw and heard in Michigan will have a very favorable result in On- tario, and eventually, other prov- inces of Canada. We hope this visit will be the first of a series of succesful tours. Perhaps the next official visit can be to a model Canadian mobilehome comniunity. Another provincial matter of the Association concerns the health . • I •I •". • • and safety Of ntobilehome famil- es. Unfortunately, latit „ whiter .saw a number of tragic fires ,Canadian bottles, inellitding two, or three in mobilehomes. In .the lat- ter case,- the cause of the fires was due to faulty wiring. Et should be pointed out that -manufacturer members of 'the PIRA 01,90.puild CSA -approved mobilehomes. This includes a rigid wiring. code and the installation of appliances and fixtures which have been approved by the CSA. Thirdly, we have public relations at the national level. During the last year we have continued •our efforts to persuade the Federal Governmentto remove the 10 per cent sales—tax" from mobilehomes, on the grounds that the Government's policy is not to tax housing. We are confident that, our prayers — and efforts — will soon be answered in a favorable way. One of the most satisfying de- velopments durilig recent months, in which the Association can claire to have had an important role, is the growing acceptance of mobile - homes by officials of various fed- eral government departments. As a result, mobilehomes are more widely in use at Most of the air force stations and army eamps. The latest development is the es- tablishment eof government-owned mobilehome `parks. At each level; and at all levels combined, the public relations of and for mobilehomes is too big a job for one person, or one group in the Association, or even one province of Canada. Our public relations requires the concerted effort of every one who lives in, or lives by, mobilehbmes in Can- ada. li • 'An manufacturer,'InS! ern4,040, ipark is aflanfled c mmunity,.,.

Dealers in the Association have an important public relations func- tion, too. It used to be that a typi- cal trailer dealer operated from a vacant lot at the edge of town, here today and gone tomorrow. To- day's mobilehome dealer is a well- established, well-respected busi- nessman who takes a pride in the community in which he lives. He has a big stake in the,community and knows the value of public sympathy for his business. The mobilehome park is the show -window of our industry. Yes- terday, the trailer camp was a blot on the suburban landscape.
