The Prospect people won hands down all three events, The quality and unity of their singing coupled with the steady flowing qual- ity proved to all present that they were deserving of first place.

Jean Martin is to be congratulated on her fine work. Altogether it was a splendid effort on the part of the children. The pianist was Mrs. Betty Ballard and director of music Mrs. Francis Sandi- son. Lake Scugog is Popular In case any Port Perryites have doubts about the attractiveness of our parks and lake they should take a stroll down Queen Street to the Lake front on a bright Sunday after- noon about 3 o'clock. Last Sunday afternoon (and remember it is still only May) Queen street was lined with cars on both sides from Perry St. to the lake and along Water St. both ways as well as all available parking -areas in the vicinity. Many others found relaxation in fishing from the causeways.

Many changes to improve the games have taken place, mainly, the installa- tion of a complete new lighting sys- tem over the greens, The ladies club, have "also greatly improved the ap- pearance of the club house by install- ing a' flower bed for the display of summer flowers, the flower bed being circled at the back by many shrubs.

New Approach To Hospital A new cement sidewalk and steps leading to the front entrance of the Community Memorial Hospital has given the building a more impressive and dignified appearance as well as adding greatly to the comfort of those folk who have occasion to walk to the hospital. The Cement walk has been laid from the front door to the road side (Perry St.) and along side the road to connect with the sidewalk on Perry Street. At the time this walk was put down the.sidewalk was also made to reach the Fairgrounds at the East gate. These walks have been a long felt need in the community and will be greatly appreciated in spite of (or because of) the great number of car owners.

The Guide Mothers' Ass'n sponsored a bazaar recently which brought the fund approximate- ly $250.00. The tag day conducted by the leaders and girls and boys also increased the fund by $260.00. Many of our citizens send in lesser amounts when they are able to-do so, for which we are very grateful. If you would like to help financially please send your contribution to Mr. John Jef- ford, Port Perry. The property tommittee jeports that work .will be resumed on the building the first week of June. Considerable activity is taking place at the new camp site on the]. property of Mr. Roy Scott of Sea- grave, If you are interested in help- ing with this work-please contact Mr. Stan, Ploughman. A few hours of work would be a great help. Speaking of camp, we wonder how self sufficient our children are. Do they make their own beds? Clean their own shoes? Or help with the dishes? A small measure of such training makes for better camping. Our leader's time is. required for group organizing and overseeing which leaves little time for individu- al supervision, lot to the children. enjoy their share. We want then to Your Group Committea, Camping means a| Port Perry Enters Team in 0.A.S.A. "MEL" MEULEMEESTER TO PITCH FOR LOCALS After an absence of several years the diamond at the fair grounds in Port Perry will once again be the scene of what is hoped will be some thrilling softball action. At a league meeting last week of the South Ontario County League the town of Port Perry officially filed application for entry into the Ontarlo Amateur Softball Association. The team will play in a league consisting of Brooklin Stevenson Motors, Brou- gham, Pickering and Mount Zion, and will play at home at the Port Perry fair grounds every Tuesday evening. Game time 7.00 p.m. The team will be composed largely of last year's' Greenbank team, which was made up of players from Port Perry and Greenbank. Returning from last year to make up the new Port Perry entry will be Glen Till, Don Cochrane, Wayne Venning, Bill Cornish, Doug Foster, Mert McKee, Jim Baird, Ron Wallace, Hugh Baird and Joe Tamblyn. Newcomers to this year's team will be Jack Owens, Garnet Warriner, Gary Edgar, Bill Gibson, Bruce Miller, Archie Menzles' and possibly some new faces will be added before opening day at the fair: grounds, which will be Tuesday, June 8rd. The opposition will be Brough-' am. The big news, however, is the ac- quisition of '"Hootch" Meulemeester to the pitching staff to go along with Joe Tamblyn, Hugh Baird and Ar- chie Menzies. "Hootch", as he is commonly known to the softball fans of Oshawa, Whitby and Torontn, has been the mainstay of the Whitby Stoker's softball club for the past number of years in the Toronto Beaches Fast- ball League. With "Hootch" on the mound the Port Perry team should be a strong contender for all Ontarlo honours come September. Hootch is presently operating the Esso Scrvice Station in South Myrtle. The managerial and coaching du- ties will be handled as before by Mor- ley Luke and Rod Foster, The success of the coming season will in the long run depend on the support that the team receives from the fans of Port Perry and District. So come on out to the fair grounds every Tuesday night and give the team your wholehearted support. Your attendance at the games will ensure that Port Perry has a ball team for many years to come.
