P2RT § PERRY Second Section Vol. 109 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, April 23, 1975 -- No. 24 By Dawn Ireland After an absence of about 80 years, the good ship, Crandella, left Port Perry dock on Saturday night, for a musical cruise on Lake. Scugog, and on board were members of the Lake Scugog Historical Society Choir, including Grandpa Charlie Reesor and Grandma Mar- jorie McCome. The music was bright and tuneful, con- ducted by Norman Watson, accompanied by Mrs. Gladys Thompson at the piano. Ralph Bailey as the Captain, and his crew of sailors opened the program. There were several sea "numbers, including "White Caps", a charming song with solos by Gail Malcolm and GlenLarmer. Rev. L. Bighby, aided by the choir, had us all "Cruising down Lake Scugog"'. The Choir is fortunate in' having two couples, Lillian and Albert Harper, and George and Alpha Samells, and both couples bring quite unique talents and comedy to the program. Also the talented horse that per- formed during the Mariposa Hayride must be commend- ed, although one could add that it might have been better trained. Joyce Scriver, Ayl- mer Ploughman, Thelma Rowland and Maurice Fralick seemed to be enjoy- ing the hayride. The Teddy 'Bears Picnic has been heard 'before, but never with nicer Delayed reaction 'It's been three weeks since the three northern townships of Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog held a joint meeting that resulted in a call for a return to the townships of sewer, water, and dump res- ponsibilities, but it you're waiting for some kind of reaction from the region, there won't be any for a while. There will be at least one meeting of respresentatives from the three townships-- possibly with member of provincial parliament, Matthew Dymond to discuss the new direction. According to Uxbridge Mayor Carl Puterbough, the township's administrator is drawing up a resolution that will be circulated to the three municipalities -and another meeting will be held. Even if the resolution is passed by all three munici- palities, the resolution will probably take 'the provin- cial route first," according to Mayor Puterbough.. That's just a possibility, he points out. He said at the time of the three-township meeting that in conver- sations with Dr. Dymond, it was within the limits of the region's existing authority to make this adjustment.

Watson and Lola McEachern had quite a family of them, Accompanied by his wife, Harper sang Isle of Man. 300 enjoy "Crandella Cruise" Katherine including Michael Brock, Jay Bower, Kim Roane, Sheri Smith and Chris Watson. Ivan Allin brought his guitar and sang during the cruise. There were even jokes by Winnifred Causley and a sailor boy friend. The shipboard concert, on the way down the lake, included a reading by Jean Nodwell and songs by the trio of Janet Vernon, Marion Weston and Gail Malcolm. Eleanor Bailey, whose lovely voice is - such a pleasure to hear, delighted the audience with two songs. Rev. Mr. Mc Entyre of St. Johns Pres- byterian Church, Port Perry, 'making his first journey with the Choir, made many new 'friends with his singing. Karen Powell of Whitby, also used the deck to good advant- age, dancing a sailors horn- pipe and a jazz number. It was altogether a success- ful evening and the narrator got all the passengers back to Port Perry without anyone falling overboard, so Velva Bailey, Effie and Aylmer Ploughman, Myrtle and George Palmer, Stan Causley, Norene Thornton, Florence Peterman and Lucille Gray all disembarked safely. Muchcredit is due the choir leader, Norman Watson and the program committee consisting of Norman Watson, Hazel Sle- mon, Roxie Webster, Irvin Gibson, Gladys Thompson, Albert Winnifred Causley, Glen Larmer and Charles Reesor. yi Lillian, AAA ~~ Opportunity fo would-be writers Perry Star is asking their readers to participate in a "Journalism Awards' contest under the auspices of the Canadian Community News- paper Association. 5 For the fourth consecutive year, the Port This writing contest, under the title "Our Hometown Paper" is open to all Star readers, (excluding staff and regular contributors) and should be a frank description or opinion of just what a community newspaper means to you, the reader. Submissions should not be less than 250 words and not. more than 700 in length. The Star will give a $50 cash award to the winner for what we consider the best submission, and will be entered in the National contest which carries an award of $400. and a gold medal. Since entries to the National contest must be submitted no later than May 30, the Star would ask to have local entries by midnight, Thursday, May 22. This deadline gives sufficient time to publish the winning entry before it's entered in the National contest. The objective is to encourage community newspaper readers t&® think about what their newspapers mean to them, their families, their lives and the community. The judges are not looking for polished, literary expressions, but rather a simple exposition that indicates an awareness by the reader of the role of the community newspaper. * If at all possible, entries should be typewritten and double spaced and should be addressed to "Contest" Port Perry Star, Box 90, Port: Perry Ontario.
