Bell Canada's area man- ager Mrs. M. Veater told the STAR that tentative dates for establishment of the extended calling area are March, 1974 for calls to Uxbridge and December, 1974 for Brooklin and . Oshawa. The additional service will add about one dollar a month to telephone bills in the area. Bell sent a questionaire to customers in this area last month. Mrs. Veater said of the 65 percent of the people who ansered the question- aires 3 out of 5 were in favour of extending the local calling area to Uxbridge and 3 out of 4 favoured toll free calls to Oshawa and Brooklin. Bell may also change its phone books so Uxbridge will be included in the same book with Port Perry, Brooklin and Oshawa. Toronto Police arrests two Metro Toronto police have arrested two people in connection with the theft of a 1968 Chev. Impala from the Port Perry property of Lake Scugog Lumber. Mr. Gordon Pogue of R. R. No. 3, Port Perry reported the theft of his car at about 6 p.m. Friday, April 6. The car was recovered in Toronto about 2'%4 hours later. Police have not released the names of the two people arrested in the case. year had the pleasant opportunity of listen to an excellent speaker. Mr. Frazer Earle, national program director of the Canadian Council of Chris- tians and Jews kept the gathering attentively lis- tening to his interesting and serious message mixed with a great deal of humour as well. Mr. Earle in his opening remarks, said he would like to talk about something important because we are Canadians. I want to talk to you tonight about the larger Canadian scene, the Canada that is locked into a continental milieu with the United States: the Canada that is part of a system, which is influenced by the morals, the values, the culture, the economy, the politics right down the line that happens to our great neighbour. He emphasized that life in Canada, the quality of life is still some what different than life in the U.S., and Fire levels home in Reach Twp. The home of John Kydd, Lot 3, Con. 11, Reach Township, was levelled by fire when an explosion occurred in the home shortly after 7 o'clock on Monday night. The Wallace occupants escaped only in the clothes they were wearing. When the call for aid was received, Uxbridge and area firemen were at the hall putting their equipment back in order after the rash of fires on Sunday and so, responded immediately. However, when they arrived the fire had so far advanced that there was nothing they could do to save the building. While no details are available as to the cause of the explosion and resulting fire, it is understood that the house was covered by insurance. The home and all contents were lost in the blaze. 1 crime, says speaker warned that it wouldn't always be so. And that the pattern of life in the U.S. will be part of Canada in the not too distant future. As a part of that pattern of life, Mr. Earle spoke about the serious increase in crime not only in the U.S., but in Canada as well. In Detroit alone, known as the Murder City, the rate of murders have increased within one year from 1.8 per day to more than 3 per day. The increase in violence and crime in the cities on this continent indicates a most (continued on page 18) § Hospital Report Week Ending Thurs., April 5 Admisions .............. 27 Births ..................

Apr. 11,1973 No. 25 Village council raises subdivision fee to $700 It took a long, controver- sial discussion, but Port Perry council finally passed a by law to raise its per lot sub division fee to $700 from $500, at the April 3 regular meeting. Councillor Reg Rose ques- tioned the fee on the grounds that it will be eventually passed on to whoever buys the new house. "I wonder how some of the young people in town are ever going to buy a home," he commented. Mr. Rose SOMpAYM ie fee to the commissions eharged by middle men in the food business. "It is like a pound of meat," he said. "Every- one who handles it has to make 5 cents. After ten people you have added 50 cents a pound." Reeve Robert Kenny ad- mitted that something has gone wrong with the cost of buying a home, but he said the small fee charged by the village is not to blame. When ~empty lots in Port Perry cost $12,000 each, "someone is gouging someone' but it can hardly be blamed on a few hundred dollars the village takes for services, he said. The reeve claimed the fee is needed to pay for increased services that will be needed fo take care of a larger population. He poin- ted out that if Port Perry stays the same size such things as water mains, sewers and the arena are big enough to take care of local needs. Bigger pipe, parks and arenas will only be needed, he said, if the population grows significan- tly. If we need new things to take care of new people the new people should pay, Mr. Kenny said, 'Otherwise we are subsidizing developers." "If anybody's going to come in here they are going to have to pay their fair share", added Deputy reeve Phil Orde, 'I am not paying for them." The arguments did not entirely convince Mr. Rose. He claimed that the new comer will have to pay for all these services through his taxes and other normal fees. By charing them an addit- ional $700, "We are asking them to pay twice," he said. "I would hate to see us scare off any housing," commnted councillor Bob Brinkman. The reeve pointed out that the $700 fee would still be less than is charged by most towns. "I have to be guided to some extent by what happens in other munici- palities,"" he said. The fee does not apply to private individuals who build homes on single lots. A sub division is considered to be any development which contains three or moze houses. The $700 fee, which is in effect immediately, does not apply to apartment buildings. Councillor Grant Mc- Dermott was absent from the meeting. Collect 211 pints Winner of the blood donor trophy presented to the organization giving most blood was again won by the High School students. No less than 38 pints of blood was the contribution by the young boys and girls. The students deserve a great deal of credit for their excellent support of the clinic. | Compared to many larger towns and cities, the result in Port Perry at the April 4th clinic must be considered excellent. 233 persons volun- teered to give blood, but 22 were rejected making the net result 211 pints. This is still far away from the optimistic goal of 300 pints the Kinsmen and Kinettes had set, but with the enthusiasm and persistence of the two groups the goal will no doubt be reached at some later date. The collection of 211 pints is slightly below the result at the first collection in April, 1971 when 228 were collected. In October the result drqpped to a low of 153 piats mak this clinj look inde ¢ very good. ¥ The\time consuming pre- parations of the clinic was real club efforts and most of the members shared in the success of the important effort.
