"PORT PERRY, ONTARIO 'THURSDAY, 'MARCH: 5, +1953. Loe Man Wins $4, 600 Lions Car The Lions Club 'Gala Night' last % Friday proved to be just that as the $4,600 DeSoto Firedome 8 went to Port Perry hardware accountant El- gin 'Hutch' Hutchinson. Just as happy about the result were the hundreds of local and district re- sidents who crowded the high school for the evening's fun and saw for the first time in years a 'car drawn in town go to a Port Perry resident. "This is the first thing L have ever won . . and I'll be proud to drive _it-on the streets of Port Perry," said the happy but reserved winner. A little more excited was Mrs. Hutchin- son and her daughter who were pre- sent (at the girl guides booth) and who came forward for the presenta- tion 'of the keys. Mr. Hutchinson became the new .owner of the car at a few minutes after midnight when Stan Turner, president of the Oshawa club, very ceremoniously drew the winning tick-, et No, 199. It is believed to have been sold to the winner by Bill Beare, one of the co-chairmen of the draw and who assisted in the ceremony - which- was m.c.'"d by president Art Brunton. Dr, M. B. Dymond, thé other draw chairmen and Ivan Haugen two of the leading salesmen of the 600 ten dollar tickets also assisted at the draw in the gym. $2,000 to Hospital The raffle made possible the pre- sentation of a $2,000 cheque by the Lions club to the newly-appointed chairman Les Smith on behalf of the Community Memorial Hospital Board. Bruce Heaslip of Blackstock, also of the board addressed the crowd as did Superintendent Frances Hincks who commended the people for making possible the fine equipment at the hospital. President Brunton and Dr. Dymond also thanked the people for making the draw and the Gala Night successful, and the donation to the "We couldn't have (continued on page 4.)

Trappers Protest Present System Of 'Alloting. Areas | Some 30 members of the newly- formed South Ontario. 'Trappers' Coun- ~ cil in. their second meeting of the yeai ; here, protested that the present sys- tem of Alloting trapping areas was un- | fair to some trappers. President Bert Simpson pointed out that present systéi affected those trappers who own or rent land in ! other Townships. A motion made by Sam Cawker and seconded by Ted Kight that a trapper upon obtaining written permission from -the land owner, be permitted to trap on any said--property in. the province. The motion was passed unanimously. The Department was commended for the law requiring the marking of j traps. It "was "deemed advisable to obtain more members before sending | recommendations to the Department. Moved by S. Cawker and seconded by W. Hope that a letter be sent to the | local Conservation officer regarding redress for C. Bryant, who has been -denied trapping privileges in Picker- ing Township, due to previously men- tioned new system of allotting trap- ping areas. The President sug ested that farmer trappers be especiafly i- vited to join the Council, for the mut- ual advantages of themselves, and the other trappers. "Stamps for mark- ing traps may be obtained at 212 Gibbs St., Oshawa. Membership of Council was noted to -have doubled since the organization meeting in Jan- uary. : The question arose as to whether this Council would re-stock a depleted muskrat marsh. It was stated that, though funds at this sige would not permit such 'action, yet Council would be willing to recommend to the De- partment, of Game and Fisheries the re-stocking of depleted marshes, since such action would have to be taken in accordance with this Department, Matt. Agar, Sec.-Treas,, read the "minutes of the Jan: 16 meeting and Financial Statement. It was brought to the attention of members that a similar council was being formed in Sunderland which might take some members from this group. It was moved by C. Kight and sec- | onded by C. Wakeford that this meet- ing adjourn and next meeting be held -on March 6 in Port Perry Scout Hall. LIFT RENT CONTROLS FERE-- Effective Sunday, March 1 rents in Port Perry weré qiiiefly decontrolled, Oshawa and Uxbridge still come une. der rental 'regulations but controls were also lifted in Beaverton, Can- nington and townships of Brock, Pickering, Reach, Scott, Scugog, Ux- bridge, Whitby and East Whitby, Pro e Switzerland Native Opens New Bakery In Carnegie Block A New Canadian and his new Cana. dian bride are today opening up Port Perry's first Swiss Bakery in the Car- negie Block, A native of Swtizerland, Fred Ae- gerter and his wife Helene, of Toron: to, moved _into Port Perry last week. Their new shop, formerly. the Chris- tine Bakery, although Swiss in name, .| Will. carry a full line of baking pro- ducts, including bread, cakes, codkies, and such specialties as birthday and wedding cakes, sausage rolls and meat pies. Mr. Aegerter who is also going to introduce a new line of Swiss-Cana- or Stan Turner (centre) smiles at cdr | dian products, will use the finest of materials including natural Alavdir- ing 'in-all-baking, - -- "Both Mr. and Mrs. Aegerter were |. most pleased with the warm welcome ' given them on their arrival here. "It is 'wonderful to be here and we hope our stay will be a long one," they chorused, They also issued an invita- tion to local residents and district re- sidents to visit their bakery and Say hello, try some sample cookies and participate in the draw for the special wedding cake. Mr. Acgerter started his 'baking career in Bern 18 years ago and fin- ished his three year apprenticeship in the trade in 1940. He gained exper- ience in some of the top hotels and 'pastry shops in Zurich, Lausanne, Geneva and the widely known winter resort and Olympic centre, St. Moritz. It was here where Barbara Ann Scott won- the: Olympic championship and helped make the Swiss "Canada- con- scious", "Canada is very highly seniniad in Switzerland . _+.. more 80 than. United States," said Mr: Aegerter- who can converse in German, French and Ita- lian as well as speak good English. "I was told in 1944 that about three years later I would leave my country. I didn't try to leave but in. August 1948 I had an opportunity to come to Canada through Simpsons and 1 was one of three chosen from the 100 ap- plicants." . Mr. Aegerter came. to Toronto (where he met and married his 'wife in December, 1951) and worked for the large Simpson bakery until join- ing Women's Bakery. With this well- known firm he. built up a new Swids department which proved very popu- lar. This. year he decided to go into business for himself and after look- ing over several city shops decided on Port 'Perry. "I knew that this was the spot as soon as I saw the shop and Port Perry," said Mr. Aegerter. Mrs. Aecgerter, is just as happy ! about Port Perry and especially their nearby living accomodation (in the Oliver residence across the road from their new business). Born in Toronto of Swiss parents, Mrs. Aegerter(He- lene) lived for awhile in Madoe, north of Belleville. She was educated in Toronto-and worked for Colgate-Palm- olive-Pete Co. preparing advertising copy for newspapers and radio sta- tions and was also employed by Eat- ons. In 1948 she visited Switzerland at about the same time her husband was foming 'to Canada. An enthusi- The corporation of 'Port Perry | received a mixture of good and bad financial news recently that will 'probably mean at least a two-mill rate jump when council starts striking the estimates next week. During the Ontario county council session in 'Whitby it was announced that the 1953 mill rate had been in- creased two mills. This means that (the jump from- 9.2 to 11.2 mills for county- purposes) Port Perry taxpay- ers will have to contribute almost 3,000 more than last year. At 11.2 mills Fort Perry's share will be $13, 520.62 with almost half of this going to county roads, 5h However Premier Leslie Frost an- nounced a new deal for the munici- palities last week that will mean an additional $1,600 grant to this village coffers, This was expected to help balance the increased county rate but the new Ontario government bill as introduced into the legislature won't take effect until 1954. Grant On Per Capita Basis The new bill which replaces the grants for fire and police services, distributes funds on the pey capita basis. Figuring on the 1951 assess- ment figure of 1,721 at the rate of $1.50 Port Perry would be eligible for $2.681 under the new scheme. (Port Perry's population according to the assessor's figures is now 1817). This compares .to the former grant of | $1,012, an increase of $1,569, ~-Reach Township with a population of 2,706 stands to benefit the most amongst the district municipalities 'with an increase of $3,381. Reach has received a grant of "$447 bul under the per capita "system at $1.60 per person they will receive $4,328. Scu- gog Township will" also henefit as their grant shoots up from $237 an- nunlly to $492. This is based on a population of 328 at the rate of" $1.50 per person. County Rate Hits Townships The increased county rates will af- fect the township of Reach as the two mill increase calls for a contribution of $33,061.89, or $7,966.15 more than in 1952. Scugog will have to forward $1,108.05 to the county.this year: The increased levy is, mainly due to the 1.56 mill increase in the county and suburban roads account which calls for the spending of $70,314.56 mote than in the previous year. The gen- eral Fund remained at four mills but "the County Home Fund increased one half mill to 1.7. <@ « LL" astic church worker, Mrs. Aecgerter was president of the Anglican Young People's at a Toronto Church. .She also enjoys badminton.

A 1953 Buick Sedan will be offered in a new draw and the proceeds will be used to build a childrens' wading pool and fountain in the park at the lake front. It is expected a lot of free labour will algo be put into the project by mem- bers of the club." Commencement of the.

Hospital Averages 16 Patients Daily The Community Memorial Hospital has admitted 81 patients and 27 oper- ations 'have heen performed there in the first six weeks of service, Super- intendent Frances Hincks informed yesterday. y "The hospital, - which opened to medical patients Jan. 21, accepted the first surgical patient on Feb, 11 and since then 23 minor operatios have been carried out and four major sur: grevies, said Miss Hincks. The major operation was performed last Thursday. 'During the month of February the hospital averaged 16 patients per day yi the peak-being reached on Feb. 25 when 20 beds were occupied. Mak- ing allowances for the nurses present- ly living in the hospital and the ad- dition of two-other beds, the hospital can now accommodate 24 patients plus nine babies inthe nursery. I'm amazed at. the number of patients we have admitted to date", said the sup- erintendent. There have been 62 discharges to date including most of the 14 new arrivals' (eight girls and six boys).

Largest cash tqtal was lost at Car- negie's where a 12" x 14" window was - smashed entering a store room_and the door was forced to enter the store. The cash register was opened and $47 in petty: cash taken. Some money, re- ported to be for tickets for last night's Boy Scout Banquet was also reported to have heen taken. At Beare Motors the thieves took approximately $15 in pétty cash from the cash register after breaking a rear window to gain entrance. At Bryden's they made their biggest haul taking three or four mantel radios at about $25 each. About $3 in silver is dlso missing." Again a smashed rear window was left as the only evidence. Apparently the Bry- dens' burglar alarm did not operate. Chief Holmes Said that no clues were left in the three places and no one sited any mysterious characters in town. Time of entry could not be too closely estimated ay none of pro- pr ietors were in the jyemises late in the. c¢vening. The nsual routine to help recover the stolen radios is being carried ont.
