When will the young folk of today learn that there is a lot more fun in doing something than in "watching someone else do it? . that it is much more fun to sing our own songs, | paint our own pictures, run our own races, play our own games? As we watch others we have to keep ourselves occupied by fault find- ing, perhaps we even kid ourselves that IF we wanted to, we could d much better. We become so accust ed to demanding the best from others -that we are afraid to try to do-things for ourselves because someone may : criticize us as we have been eriticiz- ing others. We need a new Teen Town . .. one with some real doers among the mem- bers . . . . but every teen ager is waiting for someone else to get start- ed, and also prepared to find fault with every effort made on his or her behalf. We need some men to help put the minor hockey program over again this year, but appavently, the adults are very much the same as the young- er generation, watching big name en- tertainment on TV or in the nearby shows, afraid of what criticism they will doubtless receive if they try to do a community minded job. The same problem arises with the in fact aliost" every Rae at- tempts to put on a community project. How can we hope to have a com- munity run as we want it to be run if we don't get out and do the job? We don't expect some mythical somebody to keep our homes or run ur business. Our . community and the. groups which make it up, are every bit as important as our homes and our business. In fact it is Com- munities such as ours which make de- mocracy so much more worth while than any other form of government! If you believe in democracy and free enterprise you must believe in 'your home town, in your schools, churches and clubs, and in your right to DO _ about them.

The highlights of this meeting were reports from the finance and grounds committees. In attendance was Mr. Jack McKay of the Ontario Hydro who was asked to attend because he had installed floodlight systems in Brook- lin, Whitby, Markham, Pickering, Brougham and many other communi- ties and he passed on his knowledge of what was entailed in the installa- tion of floodlights. The main topic of discussion was what type of lighting would best suit the needs of Port Perry and it was generally agreed" that the new type wide beam floodlight now being in- stalled in various places in Ontario would be best suited to our needs. This light is manufactured by the Northern Electric company and all reports state that it is the best all around softball lighting system for small parks. Prices on this system, and others will be available for the next meeting of the floodlight com- mitte. Also discussed was the type of poles to be used, what type of wir- ing, hydro service and connections. The town of Streetsville has just installed a set of floodlights similar to what we would need in Port Perry and arrangements have been made for a local delegation to inspect them. ~The grounds committee also had re- sent diamond at the fair grounds and considerable comment was made of the possibility of building a new ball | park for the floodlights in Palmer Mes! morial Park (South end) or to the south of the Yacht Club building.| Considerable fill is being dumped in this area and it is possible this pre- viously wasted area could be trans- formed into an attractive floodlit ball park. A delegation of Mr. Ken Jack- son and Mr. Roy Cornish was appoint- ed to approach town council for fur- ther advice regarding -this property. It was fully agreed that all possibili- before we decide on a final location. There is no doubt that a floodlit ball | park down by the lake front would certainly be an eye catching addition from both Water Street and 7A high- way. Also it was decided that the house, to house canvass for funds for the! floodlights would start on Wednesday | November 1st, 1961. The floodlight committee must recruit a good num- "ber-of -canvassers--to -assist--in--this- venture and anyone willing to assist in any way whatever should contact any member of the committee. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. More up to date reports next weak.

Mr. Darcy a son of the late Thomas Darcy & Rebecca Coates was born at Purple Hill in 1868 on the farm where he lived and farmed for most of his life. He obtained his education at Purple Hill School and was a faith- ful worker for 71 years in the Order of the Orange Lodge, Purple Hill No. 399, holding many offices in that or- ganization, © In 1900 he married Elizabeth Ro- bertson who predeceased him in 1949. Surviving is one daughter Elva (Murs. Wilbur Toms, three granddaughters, and six great grandchildren, also a sister Mrs. James Spinks of Treherne Man. Two brothers, John and Ed- -ward predeceased him several years ago. Funeral Services were held in the McDermott - Panabaker Chapel, Port Perry on Tuesday, October 10th, con- ducted by Rev.

Proposed Composite School at Uxbridge to Cost At a meeting at the high school on Wednesday night, in Uxbridge, repre- sentatives were present from the townships of Scugog, Reach, Uxbridge Scott and Georgina, from the Village of Port Perry and the Town of Ux- bridge to discuss" the new composite !'school scheduled to be erected in Ux- bridge. The purpose of the meeting was primarily to request the municipali- ties approve the issuing of the ne- 'cessary debenture to complete the composite school and also to explain in detail the architectual plans for same. Mr: A. C. Richardson was chairman for the meeting. Estimated cost of the entire project is $1,330,860. This is firianeny al- erinEns. "The portion 'that the school board area is being asked to finance is for the inclusion of a home econo- mics and a sewing room and the cost of one-half the gymnasium and cafe. teria. The latter is necessary since these two rooms will accomodate the over 400 students enrolled in the pre- sent school in addition to the 400 ad- ditional students that the new school will accomodate at capacity. The two new rooms mentioned above plus the area's share in the cafeteria and gym will amount to approxim- ately $160,000. Of this amount pro- vincial grants will reduce it by some $63,000, leaving an actual debenture of some- $95,000 to be shared by the seven municipalities. Mr. Richardson A. C. "Cy" Richardson, who was $1,339,860. the various rooms to be used for te- chnical teaching, the floor plans, and how each section of the school could be "cut off" from the areas by wise use of doors and hall plans. The present small gym, he said, would be converted into locker rooms, teachers' rooms, and wash rooms. The home ec. and sewing rooms would be included in the new portion of the school leaving the present two rooms for conversion to classrooms. "The school, with the inclusion of the large new composite addition would be capable of {ooking after the educa- tional needs, academic and technical, of 820 students. With school popula- tions increasing as they have been, it is judged this will be sufficient for a_ten year period. A Voice Agreement Following Mr. Richardson's presen- tation and questions from the repre- sentatives the school board members retired in order to allow members of the various municipalities to discuss the business at hand in Mayor Fred Kelland was appointed to take over the chair. All voiced approval of the composite school idea with some stating the ne- cessity of such training if students were to have an employable future. Those municipalities without. full ma- jority representation present approv- ed the plan in principal but deferred from absolute committal until meet- ings were held later in the week. It was; however, assumed that all municipalities participating in the school area board would vote approval the call of the Reeve, chairman explained the floor area of for issaing the needed debenture.
