B. Dymond, after the reading of the monthly reports, made a: few timely remarks regarding the work of the Auxiliary, particularly as to the cost of maintaining the linen supply at the hospital. She also paid tribute to the mending committee, a small:group of women who. give: of their time and efforts, without recompense, to keep the hospital linen in repair.

Mrs. Dymond paid high tribute to Mrs. Falconer, a Toronto lady, who recently passed to her reward. Mrs. Falconer was a widow who summered near Port Perry; she was. greatly. in- terested in our Auxiliary and was continuously making "talent money" and sending it to us. . Just béfore she died, about a month ago, she handed Mrs. Dymond a handsmade quilt which. she said might be of use: to-us in raising more funds, 'As yet we have not made plans for the sale of it. He were glad to have present at the meeting Mr. Joseph Dowson,.the Chairman of the Hospital Board, and he was good enough to make a few remarks in his usual gracious man- ner. Following the business we were fa- vored with a duet by Mrs. Tobin and Mrs. Abrahams, of Seagrave. The sisters sang together beautifully, and they also sang a second duet at the close 'of the speaker's: address. The speaker of the evening was Mr. George Wilson, of Oshawa, Immediate Past President of the Oshawa Branch of the Retarded Children's Assocla- tions of Ontario. Mr, Wilson spoke ~about the work being done for retard. ed children (children and young adults whose intelligence quotient is below 650%). most of us: know very: little, and Mr. esting and most informative.

'DAUGHTER by Hallowe'en Night By Jimmy Taylor Publicity"given to Port Perry over the Halloween Shenanigans that went on was "Completely Uncalled For" in the words of Chief of Police A. Men- zies, "The total damage done in the town would not exceed $25.00, and af- ter a complete and careful investiga- tion I am convinced that the hydrants that were turned on were not turned on by our local teen-agers". This article is being written for the express purpose of telling the true story of Halloween Nite. We feel it is necessary because of the widespread and very harmful publicity given this community and Port Perry Teenagers by the Oshawa and Toronto papers. A retraction will be printed in the Oshawa paper, quoting this writer and Chief Menzies, Anyone knowing the history of Port Perry Teen Town will know that it has not been an easy job to keep Teenage enthusiasm from erupting at the wrong time, and if guilty, we'll take whatever punishment is coming. Unfortunately, the repor- ter to the Times Gazette (we under- stand it is one of our own members), let his enthusiasm get away from him, telling . one story, while completely ignoring another and -bigger story. This story would have told about the Teen Town Ball Club Dance the same night, the first dance to be held at the Public 'School in Port Perry on a Halloween Nite and termed very suc- cessful by Principal Roy Cornish and members of the Port Perry Public School Board. The story of this dance is in another part of this paper. The firemen did turn their hoses on the kids, (without too much time spent in good aiming) and seemed to be having more fun than the kids, who only wanted to play a tune on the fire siren. © A small car was turned on its side, a privy was burned and a few bags of feed were scattered on the road. If the adults of Port Perry would look back to their Halloween Nites and be honest with themselves, I am sure they would say things could have been worse. We have a good bunch of teenagers in this community, and, like every other organization, a few reb- els, who, in their better moments make very good leaders.-. Because of the harmful publicity given by out of town newspapers, their attitude now is "If we have the name, we might just as well get the game". This is wrong. Help us to change it. Any weakness in the teewagers of Port Perry (and this is only ur per- sonal feeling) is directly connected with lack of Parental help and under- standing. Many parents feel they "Haven't Got The Time" to help out as chaperones for dances, bowling, etc. We know because we have phoned as many as twelve to get one couple.

He toured the school and sat in on at least one class of every grade. The more observant 'students will recall how the teacher's composure slipped momentarily as he or she was waiting for the answer to a question. Most Grade 9 students were petrified but others, to whom he spoke, found him friendly and understanding. As it was promised last week, we have a complete report on our maga- zine selling. Carol Beare, acting as See.-Treasurer did a splendid job dur- ing the campaign. Our objective of $1000 was not quite reached as re- ceipts totalled $961.30 of which the school received $868.26 but to make up the remainder, a one day "blitz-drive" will be staged on. November 18th. The three top salesmen for the six days were: David Milne, Eric Lane, and Barbara Grass, Top salesmen for each day were: Eric Lane, Margaret Postill, Barbara Grass, Gerald Read- er, Marion Martyn and David Milne. The grade selling the most subscrip- tions was 11A who will.be treated to an ice-cream party, their home-room teacher Mr. Baxter will receive either chocolates or flowers, Captain of 11 A, Miriam Harris will receive a Brownie camera kit. The mystery prize which built up over the six days to $12 was won by Dale Lowcock. All prizes were provided by the Curtis Publishing Co. Please keep in mind November 18 last day of campaign and Remember Kids--sell 1 subscrip- tion each and we'll be successfully "over the. top". A few "extras" have been added to our regular activity periods. Conver- sational German, with Mrs. Von Hau- sen is to start presently. The choirs have begun practice and a new system, which permits any mu- sic enthusiast (regardless of grade) to take part. Mr. Litt is in charge of the boys while Miss McFadyen su- pervises the girls. We now have two assemblies a week. On Tuesday morning for the juniors and Thursday morning for the sen- iors. After devotionals Mr. MacDon- ald "briefs" us on recent happenings and events to come. We find it quite an essential exercise at school. A tournament of inter-grade foot- ball is being played at moons. Mr. Cole is promoter of this activity. Games played and scores are as fol- lows: On Monday, October 28th 9G was beaten by 10G with a score of | 19-0. On Tuesday, October 29th, 13 won over 11G 7-6.

Friday night, October the 25th, the |X new Memory Hall was officially open- ed by the Honourable Dr." M. B. Dy- mond, member of the Provincial Par- liament, and newly appointed minister for the Department of Reform Insti- tutions. Dr. Dymond in his opening remarks said he felt honoured by having the opportunity of opening the new and beautiful hall and that his close con- nection with many members of the community as a family doctor had made him feel a part of them, He told the audience present that the first hall was built in 1899 and presented to the community as a gift by the late Mr. Thomas Horn who owned the farm next to the hall. "The name, Memory Hall," said the speak- er, "is a splendid one." When Mr. Horn presented the hall to the community, his only stipulation wag _that church and school activities could be held free of charge. The minister mentioned by name the different groups who had made use of the hall up through the years and praised the various projects which had taken place there during the war years. He commended the community on the fine public spirit they had shown from the day of cleaning up after the fire until the completion of the beau- tiful hall, of which they had all reasons to be very proud. Mr. Jerry Nelson introduced Dr. Dymond and Mr. Fred Wilkinson in a short address thanked the guest spea- ker for honouring the community by taking time out from his busy sche- dule to open the new hall. Present for the occasion, also was Warden of Ontario County, Mr. Mor- ley Bain, reeve of Scott Township, who brought greetings from the other 'members of county-council. M.C. during the evening was the building committee chairman, Mr. Ralph Wilbur, who with the assist- ance of Chester Geer, as treasurer, and Bruce Bailey, as secretary, have looked after the administrative part of the building. 1 80'x72' structure, Mr. Geer told the Press previous to labour had been given by the members of the community and by the surroun- "ding farmers, since the footing was ' poured a year ago. This is a tremendous effort in itself, but money was needed to build this $3,000 was realized through: the fire insurance, a grant from the provincial government in the amount of $2,285 gave the building fund another boost and the balance of about $4,000 has been raised through activities and donations in , the community. "Built on concrete foundation, the cement block building has a full size basement, and the interior upstairs has wood panelling on the lower half of the walls and masonite panelling on the upper half. The floor is of beautiful gleaming hardwood, and at the one end a stage is built. tay A capacity audience was at Utica Memory Hall for its official opening fire in April, 1966 and members of the community soon banded together to make plans for a new one, The new | by dint of hard work and community | were present. on Oct. 26th.

Kerry. The atten- dancé was lower than usual owing to the "flu" making itself welcome in various homes. Mrs. Edenborough, the president, opened the meeting in the customary fashion, also welcomed the new la- dies present. Mrs. Beacock, sec'y, read the minutes, plus a thank-you note from Wayne Craig. Mrs. Gib- son, treas. reported on finances. Mrs. J. Cook, flower convenor announced sending out one bouquet and five get- well cards. Rough plans were boiled up regarding the weddings and ban- quets booked. Thanks to the indivi- duals who liberally dished out their "castaways" therefore the attempt proved worthwhile. President stres- sed as many as possible strive to at- tend "Annual Scout Meeting" follow- ing night, which stirred up a brief lunch talk for this event. Well Apple-Day has come and gone. We feel deeply grateful to Dr. Arm- strong and Rev. Fuller who each gave of their time and effort in consenting to act as judges for the many beau- tiful decorated baskets and lovely posters. Perhaps the readers would be in- terested in learning the names of the winners in this part of the Scout Mo- vement, Scout Poster-- First prize to Donald Beacock; with Grant Tummonds second. Scout basket-- First to Ronnie Kennedy with David Milne taking second place. Cub basket-- Lonny Mark won first; Robert Wal- ker was owner of second. The meeting closed by all members repeating Scout Mizpah. Dainty lunch was served by Mes- dames Long, Smith and Pickard. Mrs. Lloyd Hunter has graciously offered her home for next meeting.
