CARNIVAL PLL-OUT SECTION PAGE 22, WEDNESDAY J ULY 19 1 'II1ITBY FREiE PRESS OIT! IL Peter Perry Awards CONTINUEI) FROM P. 21 have been involved in the foster family program and have cared for more than 40 homeless children. LaHaye 'explains bis work with children: "I want to do it. It makes me feel good . And, I love kids. " The last of the four finalists is Henry Perry, and although he is of n0 relation to the man who founded WhitbY, he is generally accorded with being just as active in the affairs of the coin- munity. Perry, 60, bas been a resident of the town sin- ce 1936. He bas been involved in many local organizations including the old Whitby Public School Board and St. John's Anglican Chur- ch. Perry served as the churcb warden for four years and bas been the chairinan of its cemetary board for 25 years. However, he is probably best known for bis involvement with Branch 112 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Perry joined because: "I'm a veteran myseif." I From 1942 to 1945 he served with the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in England and Western Europe. "And, I tbînk the Legion's good. It belps veterans and the com- munity."0 When Perry first became involved in the Legion in Whitby, its fortunes were sagging as it was losing mem- bership. He took on the job of memnbership chairman and beld it for 14 years and managed to re-interest several drop-outs and attract new people. He bas also served the longest continuous term as president of the brancb from 1976 to May, 1981. "I really feit, after five years, somebody else should get in. " Since leaving the presidency, Perry bas moved on to zone com- mander for Whitby, Brooklin, Ajax, Oshawa, Bay Ridges, Bowmanville, Uxbrldge and Port Perry. Since taking on the zone commander's job, lie might not have as much time as be would like to give to the Whit- by branch but he says, 111 still bave a great in- terest in the Whitby branch." No one but tbe mem- bers of tbe committee know which of these people wWl be the next recipient of the Peter Perry Award. And they're not saying who it wWl be until the awards dinner on July 23.
