EE ---- PORT § PERRY Volume 100 THURSDAY, MARCH 4th, 1965 Number 24 Chamber Of Commerce Hear Excellent Speaker Using Public Relations as his theme, Kenneth Cutts, Super- intendent of the Business Divi- sion of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, gave the businessmen of Port Perry something to think about when he spoke to the members of the Chamber of Commerce at their annual meeting held last week. KENNETH CUTTS Mr. Cutts said that public | hy are Ajax - Pickering, relations is hard to define, and no two people ever define it in exactly the same way. He stat- ed that public relations is plan- ned, persuasive communication, designed to influence signifi- cant publics. He also described what public relations is not. It is not just being a pleasant fel- low, Being friendly and mak- ing people feel at ease may be an important part of public re- lations, but personal affability is too limited in the extent of its influence to reach many people, unless, perhaps, it is projected 1o large groups by "Star" Wins Fifth Place .

Top winner of the class was the Blenheim News Tribune with the weeklies from Wing- ham, Exeter and Seaforth tak- ing second, third and 'fourth places. All four top winners have populations of over 10,000, go the Port Perry Star has done 'well to acquire the rating of 5th place with such a smaller population, and consequently, a smaller circulation. way of television, motion pic- ture, or the stage. Public re- lations is more than simple publicity, he said. Mr. Cutts went on and described what public relations meant and gave various ideas on how it should be carried out in business and in publie life.

Des- pite the help of outside snow- plows, the Works employees worked night and day to clear the streets. Queen Street was reduced to single lane traffic and motor- ists who parked cars up and down the main street found themselves unable to move their cars without assistance from pushing pedestrians, Side- walks were completely impass- able and for the towns folk who left their cars at home, the middle of the roadway was the only place to walk. Side streets were given atten- tion as soon as it was humanly possible for the Works Depart- ment to get to them, but with the shortage of manpower, the Road Superintendent had to work double shifts to make any headway at all. Even though the calendar shows last Thursday as' Febru- ary 25th, it is to be hoped wo can consider this as March coming in like a lion, and that the new month will go out like a lamb. The Case Of The Buried Hydrant BEM AH Or to be more specific, the Fire Department's dilemma as to the exact location of several fire hydrants after last Thursday's snow storm. 4 It is unfortunate that some fire hydrants are adjacent to householder's driveways. While it is understandable that people want to shovel the snow so they can get their cars out of their garages and driveways, the hydrants of Port Perry should be given a wide berth. When hydrants are buried, the Fire De- partment is unable to fight fires, and Port Perry residents should give a thought to this vital source of water. The above photo shows one of the many hydrants that was buried in snow, enable the photographer to take the picture. The one above had to be partly dug out to (Staff Photo) Raise New Flag At Po Teachers, School Board members and 512 pupils of Port Perry Public School witnessed an impressive ceremony last Monday morning when the new Canadian Flag was raised ont. side the school by the custodian, John Reader, At the start of the proceedings, Mr. Roy Cornish, principal spoke briefly, des- cribing the new flag and what it meant to all Canadians.
