It leaves Port Perry for Uxbridge Port Perry Legion is Host for Zone Rally On Sunday, March 24th, 1963 Port Perry Legion was host for the month- ly Zone Rally for oneZ F-1, which is comprised of Oshawa; Whitby; Sun- derland; Uxbridge; Bowmanville; Ajax; Claremont; Dunbarton and Port Perry Branches of the Royal Canadian Legion. Each of the nine branches was well represented with their respective vot- ing delegates and supporting mem- bers. The meeting was opened with a short ceremony and advancing of the colours, with Zone Commander Comrade A. B. Mavin presiding. A report of progress and happen- ings in a variety of fields was given by the Zone Officers. Zone Poppy Chaiyman, Comrade Morris Proctor, revealed that most of the Branches increased their Poppy Funds last year over the previous year, which was surprising in view of the inclement weather last November 10th. This went along with a substantial in- crease in benefits paid out of the Poppy Fund. The Poppy Fund is used only for the benefit and welfare of Veterans of any war, whether they are Legion Members or not, and is supported by the sale of Poppies on Remembrance Day. Public Speaking Committee Chair- man Comrade Ed. Hannah spoke very highly of the calibre of the contest- ants from the schools throughout the Zone who competed in the Public Speaking Contest held recently in Bowmanville, and sponsored by the Legion Branches. Each of the youth- ful winners in the many classes will go on to compete on higher levels. Zone Sports Officer, Comrade Luke White gave a resume of events past, present and future, in the sports field and presented trophies to representa- tives of the successful branches for competition in the Zone Dart, Euchre, Cribbage and Bowling Tournaments. The business session of the meet- ing included a brief report from the President of each of the nine branch- es. Although each Branch Report differed slightly in details, the gen- eral trend of all indicated increased activities and interest by the Mem- bership and left the impression of progress throughout the Legion. The last item of business was the election of one Officers for the com- ing period. These are elected by the voting delegates of which each Branch is appointed a specific number based on its membership. The Officers elected are: Zone Commander-- Comrade Vernon MacCarl, Whitby Branch 112. Deputy one Commander-- Comrade Don Iverson Oshawa Branch 48° Zone Sports Officer-- Comrade Luke White, Oshawa Branch 48. The Meeting ended with the sing- ing of the Queen and the retiring of the Colours. A short, informal but very success- ful get-together followed the meeting, highlighted by a delicious buffet lunch prepare# by the Ladies Auxiliary of Port Perry Branch 419. Three members of the Caledonian Pipe Band provided excellent back- ground music for this portion of the Rally, and a pleasant hour of com- radeship was enjoyed by all. he completed by 12.30 pon. The afternoon programme will in- clude the comments of the judges, Professor Plaunt's talk, panel discus- sion, general discussion period; and the presentation of trophies.

The ice is said to have been nearly 30 inches thick this winter, and that will take a lot of melting. * * * IRRESPONSIBLE CHILDREN have caused considerable damage to signs put up by candidates of the forth- coming election. No doubt the young ones think it is a "big joke" to rip down and break up these signs. How- ever the parents might not find it so amusing if they are taken to courts and have to pay the costs of the dam- age done. Just how parents are going to in- stil a sense of fair play and respon- sibility into the children is a problem that is going to have to he solved. Wanton damage, not alone to signs, but to trees and playground equip- ment, buildings in parks and many other facilities which are provided for our enjoyment, is causing the tax payers as well as many individuals considerable money. If children had to work to pay back, even a small portion, of the cost they would un- doubtedly be a little less exuberant with the destruction.

Starting around the furnace the fire had made some headway before it wag discovered after the noon hour. The fire brigade were called and were able to put out the blaze. Letter fo the Editor Toronto, Ont Dear Sir: In your edition of March 7, "63 1 note the Column by Ambrose Hill re power situation in apie and Que- bee. Seems to me Mr. Hill is rather hard and out-spoken re Ontario Hydro and his reference to Shawinigan power of Quebec. I wonder if Mr. Hill remembers the power scandal in Quebec a few years ago? Baharnois was a very popular topic in those days and in my opinion came near having the same effect on the Dominion Government of Canada ' we have witnessed in these last few months, and possibly, if it had not been for the shrewdness of Mackenzie King, prime minister of that time, might have had the same results we are faced with today. Don't waste too many tears over Quebec, Mr. Hill. You may have to write your column bilingual sooner than you expect, and IT doubt that Shawinigan will provide you with extra cheap power. : Yours-truly, Jas.

Community Memorial Hospital Holds Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Commun- ity Memorial Hospital, Port Perry, was held at the hospital on Tuesday evening, March 19th, 1963. The meeting was under the Chair- manship of Chas. Reesor, Vice-Chair- man of the Hospital Board; the Chairman Mr. Harry Phoenix being unable to attend. Letters were read from the follow- ing Municipalities, ndvising as to the appointment to the Hospital Board for 1963, as follows: Twp. of Reach--Mr. Harry Phoenix Twp. of Scugog---Mr. Jos: Dowson Twp. of Cartwright-- Mr. Merrill Van Camp Corp. of Port Perry-- Mr. Chas. Reesor County of Ont.---Mr. Robt. Kenny The Treasurer's Report, together with a statistical report for the year, was distributed to each person pre- sent at the meeting. Mr. Chas. Ree- cor, Chairman of the Finance Com- mittee, reported on behalf of this Committee, Mr. Merrill Van Camp, Chairman of the Property Committee, reported on behalf of the Property Committee, advising ns to the purchase of 0 new Gestetner for office use, and a Walk- in Cooler in the kitchen. The instal- lation of the Walk-in Cooler enables the hospital to purchase food in lar- ger quantities and to operate more efficiently. Mr. Van Camp also ex- tended the thanks of the Hospital Bd. to the Oshawa Suburban Roads Com- mission for keeping our roadway at the hospital free of snow during the winter months. Their work and as- sistance in keeping our roadway clear is greatly appreciated. Mrs. Kathleen Hook, Superintend- ent of the Hospital, gave her report of work carried on at the hospital and thanking all for their support and interest in the hospital, and especially to the Hospital Auxiliary for their continued support. The Auxiliary is a "going concern" which has always t#"ken a keen interest in the welfare of the hospital; they have worked har! and ave still enthusiastically interest- od. Their donation of the Electro- cardiograph machine has proven most valuable to the hospital. This has provided a service to the people of the community which previously had to be done at some other hospital. Dr. John Diamond reported on behalf of the Medical Staff. Several new pieces of medical and surgical equipment have been pur- chased during the past year by the Hospital Board, which said additional equipment and facilities provided have further widened the scope and significance of hoth diagnostic and treatment services--and enables the hospital to meet more fully the needs of our growing municipalities. The record of service provided to the community, shows a substantial increase in volume year by year.

The presentation was made by a long time personal friend, Jack Atkinson, who is presently As- sistant Provincial Executive Commis- sioner at Ontario headquarters. Mr. Atkinson also spoke words of praise and encouragement to the boys and their fathers, stating that even an 8 or 9 year old boy can play an im- portant part in the scheme of things, and he challenged the fathers to take a greater interest in their son's pro- gress in cubbing.
