Singer, the 39-year-old reeve of North York, announced re- cently that he will be a candidate for the Ontario Liberal Leadership "when the party holds its convention in Tor- onto April 18 and 19. In making the announcement, Mr. Singer said his objective is a "grass roots" rebuilding and reorganizing of the Liberal party in the province, "I want to express my very strong personal feeling that the party for its own good and for the good of the people of Ontario must truly become Liberal again," he said. "With this in mind, I am advocat- ing that the supply and distribution of natural ga§ in the province of Ontario be owned and managed by a board similar to Ontario Hydro," he said. "This way, the supply and distri- bution of natural gas will be: run for the benefit of all the people of Ont- ario and at cost," said Mr. Singer, who is a lawyer. He said that he believed this would considerably lower the cost of natural gas to consumers and the "fantastic personal profits made overnight in recent months will be stopped." "This is a logical, fair plan aimed at the one thing I will plan all policy to benefit -- the people of Ontario," Mr. Singer added. Mr. Singer also advocates the in- troduction of a compulsory automo- bile insurance plan for the province: He aims for far-reaching municipal reforms combined with much greater provincial education grants to muni- cipalities. . " Mr. Singer has gained a consider- able reputation and valuable experi- ence in municipal politics. Married with three children, he was first elec- ted to North York council in 1953. He wag re-elécted at the top of the polls for two niore years, and in De- | cember, 1966, was elected reeve with a 20,000-vote majority. Mr, Singer left Osgoode Hall law school to enlist in the Royal Cana- dian Dragoons and served overseas during the Second World War for nearly five years. As reeve of North York, he has a seat on the Council of Metropolitan Toronto, on whose executive he serves as the youngest member. His job has entailed the formulation of long term policies as well as the administration' of formid- able budgets, ] | , vincial Kerry.

Chamber of Commerce to Hold Annual Dinner Meeting The Port Perry Chamber of Com- merce is one of more than 750 Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce doing a vital job of community build- ing across Canada; stated Storey Beare, President of the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce. - Chamber of Commerce Week, to he observed April 13-19, should help to bring home to our citizens the value of the work being done on their be- half 'and in their interests by their Chamber of Commerce, President Storey Beare continued. Prime Minister Diefenbaker recent- ly paid tribute to the work of the Chamber movement in this country in these words: "Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce are closely identified with the interested of all citizens because, through the united and voluntary effort of business and community leaders, they help to build better communities and create con-| ditions favourable to our future' growth and prosperity. Among the many important functions of the | Chamber movehent is that of pre- senting the views of all business, ! large and small, to municipal; pro- vincial and federal governments."

Sandiland Jewellers Suffer Fire Damage Tom Sandiland, formerly of Port Perry and now of Port Hope suffercd considerable damage to his stock of jewellery and watches when a fire broke out in the apartment above the store. Police tried to locate Mr, Sand- iland but were unable to do so as he had gone to Owen Sound for the week-end.

Fund We ave very pleased to hear that the Sunday School of our local Presby- terian Church have voted $50.00 to the building fund. It is most encoyr- aging to see our needs recognized by a religious group. We sometimes feel that there is misunderstanding be- tween the Churches and and the local Guide and Scout Associations. This misunderstanding is due to the differ- ent type ofrsponsorship to that of the large cities, In some cities, sponsorship is estab- lished by the church, school, men's clubs, boy's club, women's institute, hospital, Canadian Legion, lodge, etc. In smaller communities such as ours, it is more desirable to have the sup- port of all townspeople, since mem- bership is nottrestricted. We have then a "Community Group" with re- presentatives drawn from the parents including religious, educational, civic and business' people. Our local groups are well organized, thriving under good leadership, and feel that the meeting hall has served us well in reaching this high level we hope to maintain, Some people feel that the: Church exists to provide free facilities for the promotion of whatever appeals to the secular world as being good, and to obey unconditionally the popular de- mands of the community. Guide and Scout Associations believe they should share some of these re- sponsibilities: The desire of the move: ment is to strengthen the religious convictions of every girl and boy, and to be an influence for good in spirit- 'ual development. ~ Religious awards can be earned by girls and boys who qualify. Your leaders and officers of the various sections of our local Groups feel that they are doing a good deal to promote a spiritual growth. The children are encouraged to attend their own Church. We thank the Presbyterian Sunday School for their contribution, and want vou to know it means a great 'have noticed that the Lions Club do- nated the Frank Dawes Cup for Min- or hockey, in Port Perry--"The Big N.H.L."--won hy "The New York Rangers".
