Norm Cafik flanked by Reach Township Reeve Sam Oyler at left and former Reeve of Scugog Township, Anson Gerrow at right. Both were keenly interested in what possible grants might become available in the future. Lively question and answer period "conducted by liberal candidate Ontario Riding MP Nor- man Cafik engaged in a brisk question-and-answer session in Port Perry Mun- icipal Hall last Thursday, touching on unemployment, tourism, federal grants and the touchy Pickering air- port question. The turnout was small -- but their interest out- weighed their numbers as they provided interesting grist for Mr. Cafik's polit- ical mill. The questions and com- ments by the audience, who were mostly seated in a - circle of chairs before the MP, elicited lucid, well thought-out replies that ap- peared to satisfy everyone. Mr. Cafik most, if not bore down with a vengeance on what he described as "gen- tlemen farmers' who own property on the Pickering airport site and who 'don't farm at all." He said these individuals -- doctors, lawyers, etc. -- who pay low taxes, are the real power behind the anti- airport faction. Their only interest, Mr. Cafik said, is self-interest, and they couldn't care less about any of the issues involved in the conflict, such as ecology. The MP also pointed out that the noise factor at the projected airport would be drastically reduced because Graduates Beth Hooper, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Hooper graduated from the Barbazon School of Model: ling, Toronto on September 16, 1972. of new low-noise British jet engines. Also, because of the airport's large acreage. people would be further away from the site, he added. Questions and statements regarding unemployment and Manpower's role in providing employees for municipal work, came from Reeve Sam Oyler of Reach Township and from Anson Gerrow, the former Scugog Township Reeve. Both men are former Wardens of Ontario County. Mr. Cafik told them the federal government would pay 50 percent of labor costs for muncipalities if these local governments Kinsmen at Fall Council On October 13 and 14, President Fred Canning, Vice President Bob Findlay and Past President Larry Kendall of the Port Perry Kinsmen Club attended fall council in Sault Ste.

Kinsman National Presi- dent Pierre Blanchard of Point Claire, Quebec atten- ded the entire Council repre- senting the Association. For the 252 Kinsmen from fifty-three clubs in atten- dance this was a very enjoyable and educational fall Council.

'Every municipality has the right to ask for these grants, "Mr. Cafik explain- ed, "But few do it." It was evident that few at the meeting was aware that this grant provision was available. To criticisms of Man- power's role in providing labor, Mr. Cafik agreed that civil servants working for it were not adequately doing their job. A "I know Manpower is badly managed," the MP said. "It's so big, so bure- aueratic. Perhaps we should set up a Manpower (continued on page 20) LIE Sain # _ d--" ' ~F SRR rie 0 : SETI re. ian A 7 Ban PORT ( PERRY Volume 107 -- PORT PERRY. ONTARIO, Wednesday. Oct. 18, 1972 -- No. 1 Merchants will conduct survey October 26 to 28 The Port Perry merchants have taken the initiative to conduct an instore survey of their customers during Thursday to Saturday, Oct- ober 26th to 28th. The survey has been organized by a special Commercial Survey Committee made up of representatives from the Port Perry Council and Chamber of Commerce. The survey is under the study direction of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates Limited planning department in Don Mills, who will prepare an economic feasibility report including recommendations respecting short - and long- term commercial facility requirements for the Port Perry area. The primary purpose of the merchants survey is to _determine both the location and number of customers using the Port Perry retail stores and service shops. A very brief questionnaire will be presented to each custo- _ mer _.at the cash register asking his or her address and the amount "of their pur- chase.

The merchants, who have pledgéd their co-operation, are hoping that all of their customers will take a minute to fill in these short question- naires. Following the sur- vey, Totten Sims Hubicki's planning consultant Roger Truemner, will interview many of the merchants, summarize the survey re- sults, make a market analy- sis and submit a written report to the Port Perry Council within a few months. Permits lottery A letter from the club said Kin Lottery E would be worth $100,000, and that tickets would be available later this month. Port Perry Council, at its last regular meeting, gave permission to the Corn- wall-based Kinsmen Club to stage a lottery in the village. The club possesses an Ontario licence allowing it to stage lotteries in the pro- vince, but each municipality must give a letter of permis- sion for the lottery to be conducted in its area. "Get tough' policy displayed by council Port Perry Council has ordered the Port Perry Development Co. to embark on some housekeeping in and around its work site. The company. which is developing a marina and shopping centre site on Lake Scugog, was told to proceed with the clean-up "at once". A resolution, passed by council. states the company must '"'cease placing fill on the property until such time as the displaced material A hn y # CN 3 © from the lake bottom has been removed- from the lake." The company has been dumping some fill along the shore line, and councillors expressed concern that if the muck at the bottom of the lake is pushed too far out by the fill, a costly dredge operation may be necessary. Council also ordered the company to clean out the ditch on the east side of the right-of-way and "restore it to its original condition (or better), including removal of stumps." The company was also ordered to clean all streets 'used by his trucks' and to keep it clean daily. Finally, the resolution ended with: "All other work must cease until such time as items 1, 2 and 3 have been accomplished." Park sale nets $1,380 Clerk-treasurer Neil Bro- die told a regular meeting of Port Perry Council that an auction sale of nine cabins and their contents at Birds- eye Park, October 7 netted $1.380. The sale was part of a long-term plan for a $300,000 park in the area, covering 21.7 acres. The sale was necessitated by a refusal from the provincial government, which would subsidize the village park project, to approve the old cabins. They, therefore, went on the auction block.
