This was just part of a: discussion between council and Mr. Wm. Mannson of the Ontario Housing Action Program who was address- ing council on behalf of his branch of the Ontario Gov- ernment. Mr. Mannson was at council asking if there were any lots-available for build- ing and if so if they could help them get underway so that the market for lots and housing would be saturated. You come here asking us to get the ball moving, but How can we do that when every time we try to make a Council briefs Council made a motion to ask that flashing lights be installed at both ends of Greenbank after a letter was received from Mrs. Helen Pollard of that community who was worried about the speed of cars travelling through the village. She asked council to consider the possibility of flashing lights. Councillor Reg Rose made a motion that the Township of Scugog be excluded from the enlarged area of the South Lake Simcoe Conser- vation Authority and was passed unanimously. move we get blocked, said the Mayor. "Are you aware of the situation in our area he said, we have over 1300 lots waiting to be developed if only we could get approval from the government. Mr. Mannson approached council Monday saying "House prices are getting out of sight", and our pro- gramme is aimed at helping this situation. We would like to see a large number of serviced lots and houses flood the' market, so that the prices of housing would be driven down, he told council. This is why we are approaching councils to find out what lands are available and try and get the ball rolling. The project, being imp- limented by the Ontario Government would make more land available for housing and in turn the government would stipulate to the builders on the price range of the homes on about 40 percent of the available site. Available to the municipal- ities participating .in the programme would be plann- ing grants and interest free loans for services such as sewers and water. Mr. Mannson told council that Carlan Enterprises has approached them and is willing to join in the prog- ramme because he is very anxious to get underway. It is costing developers money to leave their land vacant and they are willing to take a little less profit so that they can get underway, he said. Mr. Mannson asked coun- cil to consider the pro- gramme if they felt they would like to participate in it, to get in touch with him. In the meantime, I'll do a little more homework on your area, he said. ae ida! » 37 Compete for $4,000 prize money at Port Perry Fair by Ashok Chandwani The Port Perry Fair opens Monday with nearly $4,000 waiting to be won in nearly 1500 prizes for cattle, horses, vegetables, flowers and fruits among other things. The fair which has been held regularly for more than a hundred years is an annual event of fun and competi- tions organised by the Port Perry Agricultural Society. "We're expecting at least 7000 people, weather permit- ting" says Glenn Wana- maker, Secretary Treasurer of the society. He was busy doing the final paper work with his wife Marjorie when I dropped in on him. Marjorie Wanamaker takes an equal if not greater interest in organising the fair with Glenn, or as he puts it "obeying the instructions of the committee". Only members are eligible to participate in the cattle and horse shows, but at $2 a year no one minds being a member. The society has 120 members. Members are given free passes. Visitors pay a dollar, a quarter if they are school children, nothing" if they are below school going age. "We haven't raised the admission this year" says Glenn "but, we have in- creased parking by 50 cents to a dollar". The highlight of the fair Endorses liquor permit Scugog council endorses a resolution passed by the Whitby Town council, Mon. asking that 'Special Occas- sion Permits" be issued to organization without the common frustrations and aggravation which usually accompanies each applica- tion. The Special Occassion Permit allows the sale of alcoholic beverages at spec- ial functions. In order to get one the organization must apply to the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario, who then, hopefully, issues the per- mits.

Rose, Anglican Minis- ter in Port Perry may seek the Progressive Conserva- tive nomination in the provincial riding of Ontario. The present PC represen- tative in the Ontario legisla- ture is Dr. M.B. Dymond who has held that seat for 17 years, but has decided not to seek re-election when his term of office expires. When the Oshawa Times directed questions to Rev. Rose relating to the rumors, he said he had to think awhile before answering the question. Tuesday morning the Port Perry Star asked Rev. Rose for a statement and said that he had been approached some time ago concerning the idea of seeking the nomination. Since it has It is not uncommon after an application has been made for the organization to have to fill out numerous forms and get letters from any number of authorities before the licence is ap- proved. Such was the case of the local Chamber of Com- merce. Richard Drew, Chairman of the Western Weekend committee, told the Star that when he applied for the licence for this annual function, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, he was turned down.
