me SS ATHEIE bie sae oo] Mike Did It Again! For the seventh time in 18 years, Michael Starr captured the Ontario Riding for the Pro- gressive Conseyvative Party. From the very first returns, Mr. Starr took the lead, and it was never any doubt that he again would be victorious. Although the riding this year had an additional 8,400 votes, the increase in votes cast was only 1,667. The inclement wea- ther was blamed for the drop in percentage from the 1968 re- cord of 82.59 to 75.81 percent this time. Mr. Starr also topped the vote in every municipality in Ontario Riding, except Ajax where Dr. Claude Vpond had the highest vote. Mr. Starr said he worked harder this time, than any pre- vious election, and added "it had been a tough election fight." He will continue to serve as Conservative House Leader in the House of Commons and reaffirmed that his intention to seek the Conservative leadership if John Diefenbaker resigns. Dr. Claude Vipond went down to defeat for the third time against Michael Starr, but the Liberal Party showed an in- rease in votes over previous elections. Oliver Hodges, newcomer to Ontario Riding polled over 16,000 votes, and at the time of admitting defeat expressed satisfaction with the result, and promised the NDP would put a member in the House of Commons in the next election. Dr. J. E. Rundle, who ran as an Independent candidate re- ceived only 1,032 votes in his first attempt. Below is a summary of the standings in Ontario Riding.

Request Water For Addition To Reach School According to a letter from Reach Township School Area Board, read in Port Perry Coun- cil at the last regular meeting it may be necessary within the next year to build an addition to Reach Central School No. 1 at Prince Albert. The letter, written by the secretary of the School Board, Mrs. Patricia Love states that before a decision to build the 6 to 8 room addition is made, the assurance of additional water supply will be required. Port Perry is at the present supplying the School with wa- ter, and the council informed Mrs. Love that as far as was known water would be available for the new school addition. New Equipment For Arena Ice At the last regular meeting of Port Perry Council, Frank Godley, representing the Arena Board reported that special equipment had been ordered to save on rink help. In addition to the equipment ordered, it is also necessary to either purchase or rent a trac- tor,-Mr. Godley explained. He suggested that the Council and the Arena Board purchase a tractor on a fifty-fifty basis, the Arena using it in the win- ter and the Village in the sum- mer. The recommendation was agreed on in principle, and it was left with councillor R. A. Kenny to investigate the mat- ter further and report back to council. ~ Wins Ontario Riding For 7th Consecutive Election P2ORT @Q PERRY Volume 101 School Board Concerned with Sewer Problem The Central Ontario County District High Scool Board ex- pects to call for tenders for the addition to the Port Perry High School early in November, ac- cording to a letter sent to the Port Perry council recently. The letter states that the sewage question is of vital con- cern to the Board. The present bed will be lost in the construe- tion of the school, and to pro-| vide a disposal bed for a school of the size being built would involve considerable expense. The clerk was instructed to advise the Board that the OWWRC has been asked to make application for sewers for the whole town, and that a! copy of the Board's letter, to- gether with a copy of a letter from the Hospital has been sent to the OWRC informing them of the situation.

In addition, the Honour Students of all Grades woré recognized and the 15 graduates from Port Perry High School applauded. On Friday evening the cere- monies got under way promptly at 8 p.m. and by 8.10 everyone was in his proper place and Prinicpal Grant MacDonald ex- tended welcome words to par- ents, guests, speakers and stu- dents. Mr, MacDonald remark- ed that from his many years of experience in this community, | he was convinced that the peo- ple are very interested in edu- cation. He further stressed the beh hg i importance of parents attending exercises and of seeing to it that their child- Commencement | REV. DOUGLAS Blukiy ren attend also. "Taking part in an evening such as this, is in itself a form of education. Everything one learns at school is not all contained in the text books." Mr. MacDonald went on to pay tribute to the members of the Central Ontario High School Board and of the great respon sibility of those men who make up the Board of Education, , Chairman of the High School Board, Mr. Maurice Fralick, spoke of the plans for the en- lar gement of Port Perry High School, which, he regretted to report were not progressing as fast as the Board would like. In the meantime, students were be- ing accommodated in Port Perry Baptist Church and the make- shift classrooms within the School were not of the best, However, even though the addi- tion to the school would not be ready by September, 1966 when it is finally completed there will be no need to send voca- tional students to Uxbridge as at present, as all courses will be available right here in Port Perry.
