Time means money today. Speaking as someone who wants to get out of the city, 1 am not alone. Thousands of 'people everyday are looking for a way out. I am sure that Port Perry will grow tre- mendously in the future. One has only to look at a proposed development map of the area NEED MUSIC? for a WEDDING = call 985-3089 (after 6 p.m.) interest. "northeast of Metro to see how close Toronto is coming. Cedarwood City, the new airport, land freezing in Scott .and Whitchurch -- Stouffville townships, and noise foundary areas in Uxbridge all show the pres- sure that Toronto is exerting on rural Ontario areas. Reg- ional government and the new name of Durham town- ship, are examples of the encroaching changes to come. I feel that business in Port Perry, can develop within its nineteenth century build- ings. It is true modern renovations within their walls may have to be done but let's not change the outward character of the town. I for one strongly oppose the demolition of the town hall or any other build- ing in this great town and I will end by saying, "Let It Be" John A.

Foresters) held their February meeting in the home of a fellow member, Mrs. N. Tennyson of Caesa- rea. In spite of our surprise snow storm there was an excellent turnout. Many items were on the evening's agenda, one of which was the upcoming dance in the Rec. Centre in Blackstock on March 23rd. It was unanimously agreed upon to attend another "Fabric Bazzar' in Toronto. Ladies this is an opportunity to purchase material for your spring wardrobe at ridiculously low prices. For the sum of two dollars we go by bus to Toronto, have do-nuts and coffee when we arrive and after browsing around are served lunch after which our host auctions material. The date is not arranged as yet but hope- fully it shall be in late March or early April. This is a pleasant change from our daily routine. You do not have to be a Forester to come along. The recent bowling tourna- ment was discussed and the ladies feel that a second was pretty darn good when you think of the number of teams that were compet- ing. The retiring President, Ann Lee, was presented with a gorgeous pin and carring set: bearing the Foresters insignia~-done in sterling silver. Ann was quite pleased with this token of apprecia- tion for her three years of hard work as President. After the business was settled the meeting closed. Lunch was served by Sandy Day and her mother Bernice Tennyson. The March meet- ing will be hosted by Mrs. Neil Lee in her home. So sorry to hear that a former resident of Port Perry, Mr. Ralph Raines, had an accident at work last week and almost severed his finger. Ralph will be unable to work for a while. A speedy recovery is hoped for him. The many friends and neighbours of Mrs. Eva Jamieson of Caesarea are pleased to hear that she is now able to go for a drive or a short walk. Wishes for continued good health are extended to her. Condolences are conveyed to the family of the late Mrs. G. McKee (a former Cart- wright resident) Mrs. McKee passed away in Florida last week. She and her husband have been summer residents at View Lake for' many years. Our prayers are with her family at this time. Condolences are also con- veyed to Mr. and Mrs. Ron Forsythe of Caesarea upon the recent loss of Mrs. Forsythe's grandfather, Mr. James Aiken. May God in His infinite mercy be with this family in this their particular hour of sorrow. The Caesarea T.O.P.S. club presented the winners for the month on Monda; evening. They are as follows .. .1st division, Sandy Day. ond, Shirley Jackson. 3rd. division Adele Pedzekowski and Marg Renouf 4th div. Pat Sleep and Pat Clancy.

On Friday, Feb. the 8th, the Cartwright 'Ventures vs the Manvers Ventures played an extremely action packed hockey game. The scoring was tight all the way. The final score was 15t0 16 in Manvers favour. The Cartwright Ventures enjoyed an afternoon of bowling in Bowmanville on Saturday. Following the game they accompanied by their leaders had lunch in the restaurant before returning home.

Coffee will be served and admission is free. The work that is in- volved in these évents by Mr. Walter Welts and the boys, may only berewarded by the ~ presence of members of the community and surrounding areas, so please keep this ddte in mind and I am certain that you shall not regret it. (Feb. the 23rd) at 8 p.m. To close the above men- tioned week of activity, a parade shall be held in yp Blackstock on February the "24th (Sunday) in which Scouts and Guides etc. shall - march.
