Ladies' Nail Driving Contest--Muys, A VERY BUSY TIME Four important events will take place in Port Perry during the next six weeks: } 1. The Lions Club Carnival, on Wednesday, July 24th, +2. The Sports Day, sponsored by the Business Men's Association, Monday, August 5th, NOTE---On this occasion a Presentation of Gifts will be made to Port Perry Men and Women who were in the Armed Forces in World War II. 3. The unveiling of the Palmer Memorial by the Chiropractic Association of America--Wed- nesday, August 14th at 3 p.m, 4. Port Perry Fair--Monday, September 2nd. Each of these events to be successfully carried out will require the most practical co-operation of Port Perry people. year in the history of our Village. On these occasions we shall show our interest in the causes that are promoted by the people sponsoring the demonstrations. ¢ °& * 9 The Lions Club has given eight years of good service to the people of this district. Many young folk suffering under physical disabilities have been. helped to better lfie. Our support of this work 1946 will be an important is urgently needed, for human suffering is ever . with us; and we who are fortunate can happily Share our good things, [IE I TE BE The Chiropractic Association-unveiling of their Memorial will be an event of first importance to Port Perry. Not only will it bring a multitude of interested visitors here; but the Association has laid the foundation of what can become a noted Memorial Park, Their financial contribu- tion in this matter has been very considerable. And their continued interest in Port Perry will mean much to the prosperity of our people. * % # The Business Men's Association is staging a great day of sports on Monday, August 5th, with a special program of horse racing, and a strect dance at night. This is a very popular event; but it takes a lot of work to prepare and carry out. the program. _ Here is a suggestion for another year. Perhaps the Rod and Gun Club can revive the water sports--always a popular feature; but making a big load of responsibility for those whose day does not end until after midnight, * * Port Perry Post War Citizens' Committee Is taking this Sports Day as a fitting occasion for the presentation of gifts to the Port Perry men and women who were in the Armed Forces in World War ILI. Elsewhere on this page will be found/an outine of the program for that important event, * * 8 Port Perry Fair is growing in popularity from year to year. There is good reason for that. The younger farmers of the district are on the " bred people. directorate, and they are making a success of their work, One man will not soon be forgotten in connec- tion with Port Perry Fair--Robert Holtby. When he introduced the Black and White Show, with its uniform prize money, he started something of real importance. The honour of winning first, second, or third place, is what is to be desired-- not the grasping of much money. } -When a farmer or any other exhibitor takes a pride in his work and what it produces, happiness is not far away. * L] * Six weeks of intensive good citizenship are before the people of Port Perry--a chance to build for future development along good lines. * 8 % 2» IMPROVEMENTS At the waterfront extensive improvements are in the making. The problem now is to take care of them. Unfortunately a few people, (nearly all outsiders) don't know how to behave properly. They destroy things, and leave behind them litters and filth that is a disgrace to themselves and to the town. There needs to be some severe treatment ac- corded to these oenders. It is the business of every good citizen, young or old, to see that what has cost much in labor and money shall not be spoiled by careless, ill- So long as we tolerate this bad be- haviour by irresponsible, dirty, and destructive people, it will be difficult-to retain. our reputation for being one of the most beautiful villages in the Province. . a One practical way of stopping street litter would be to have waste receptacles in prominent places on the street corners. This plan was suggested some years ago, but was not put into operation. While we are on the subject, it is just as well to call attention to the fact that during recent months there has been too much noise and pro- fanity on our front street--from midnight, and sometimes until two or'three o'clock in the morn- ing. As quite a number of people now live in apart- ments above the stores, this nightly disturbance is very annoying, and legal action should be taken to prevent it. There is no reason why we should put up with these nuisances; and strong measures should be taken to end them. There are sensible ways of working off one's surplus energies. We see it done almost avery night at the ball games on the school grounds, If that space is not big enough, there is plenty of space outside the town. Peopls who work hard all day have a right to a night's rest undisturbed by unseemly noises. The Presentation Program At seven o'colck on the evening of Monday, August 6th there will be a parade of 'Veterans, which will precede a service to be sheld. at the Memorial Library in honour of those who from Port Perry paid the supreme sacrifice in World War II The Business Men's Association Sports Day has been chosen as the fitting occasion for the pre- sentation of gifts to the men and women from Port Perry who were in the Armed Forces. The gifts will be from Port Perry citizens and will be made to fellow citizens. 'There are one hundred names on the list of those who are to re- ceive this public recognition, No distinction is being made as to service, whether it was at home or overseas. Enlistment was made for military duty; and all who enlisted were at the disposal of the military authorities. Some were sent overseas, some were coust guards, some did necessary duties in Canada. They did what they were told and army discipline requires just that kind of obedience. The Presentation of Gifts will follow immediate- Ay after I'L Manvrial Se.

FRED MARK DIES SUDDENLY A former resident of Honeydale, Mrs, Fred Mark, was called by death quite suddenly on Friday morning, July 12th, For the past year or more she had been in town caring for Mrs, John Moase, but was taken with an attack of phlebitis three weeks ago and had to go to her daughter's home in Lind- say, where she died. Interment took place in Pine Grove The driver of the car that hit the boy was not going more than fifteen miles an hour, and observers say he stopped his auto. within four . feet. Otherwise the accident might. easily. have proved fatal. The little fellow was taken to the Oshawa Hospital for an X-Ray. COMING HOME Word has been received that Pte. R. M.

J. Brunning of Ottawa, Dominion coal controller, "The domestic coal market will be tight but I feel we'll get through next winter all right," 'said Mr. Brunning.

The coal controller pointed out that for the first time in history, all Alberta mines are operating at virtually full capacity in what is normally consider- ed the slack summer season. Mine operators of the West are pleased with the result of the "Buy. Your . Coal Now" campaign which was keeping the mines in operation on a balanced load basis and employing miners at a .season when they usually are laid off.

Thank You Box 37, Port Perry, Ont, July 16th, 1946. Mr. S. Farmer, Editor, Port Perry Star. Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you and the citizens of Port Perry and vicinity, for the won- derful response, and the sincere co- operation you have given me during the Clothing Collection. Nearly five tons have been collected and delivered to Headquarters in Toronto. This will; I'"believe, be a real blessing to the stricken people of Europe, I had the opportunity of inspecting the sorting and packing of the cloth- ing. The efficiency of the men em- ployed in sorting, and the thorough- ness with which the men operate the thirty odd electric presses turning out the tightly packed steelbound bales ready for shipment overseas is amaz- ing. } I would like to thank sincerely, Mr, Geo. White for his unstinted help at all times. All this local work has been done without remuneration to any one. Again many thanks to you and all. Sincerely, Robert Johnston, Local Chairman National Clothing Collection. A A A i Us PRICE CONTROLS TO BE RETAINED IN CANADA Following the statement in Parlia- ment by Prime Minister King that Canada' wil Iretain her price and ra- tioning controls irrespective of 'the United States action, a broad program to strengthen this country's anti- inflation bulwarks has been outlined. On June 30 the emergency legisla- tion in the United States, which authorized price, rent and rationing controls, expired, and Mr. King said that the Canadian government felt 'that the first opportunity should be taken to assure parliament and the country that there is no Intention of t for the LIONS abandoning similar controls in Canada. "Developments affecting prices in other countries, particularly the United States are, of course, not without their effect upon Canada. Our policies have in the past and will in the future ne- cessarily continue to have such de- velopments in mind. We shall con- tinue to follow policies which we be- lieve to be in the general interest, making from time to time such modi- fications as seem to be required in the light of internal and external condi- tions as they develop", Mr, King states. A four point re-alignment of the coutnry's stabilization program was outlined by Finance Minister Ilsley in the House of Commons as follows: . (1) The Canadian dollar has been adjusted to parity with the United States dollar, effective at nine p.m., on Friday, July 6th, (2) A long list of goods and ser- vices which continue subject to price control has been established. A num- ber of less important articles have been suspended from the price regula- tions. Taree (3) All imported goods of a kind, subject to price control, unless speci- fically dealt with on another basis, will be priced on the basis of the import- er's landed costs, plus a prescribed maximum markup, (4) Subsidies will continue to be paid in order to prevent undue in- creases in prices of articles of impor- tance to the consumer or in primary producers' costs of production, Crosier Re-Union The 16th annual Crosier Re-union was held on Saturday, July 6th, 1946, at "Elm Hill Farm" the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Samells, on Scugog Island.
