4 ad IRAN ARUN RSE Region wants Scugog to promote tourism as industry 2 He pointed to industries in Cannington and Beaverton - You may not have to fly the friendly skies to get here or see grass skirts and hula dancers on arrival, but that doesn't mean Port Perry and area cannot foster a strong tourist - industry. According to Bob Nichol of the region's planning and development department, the municipality is ideally located for such an indus- try, considering its proximi- ty to the large southern urban centres, In fact, Nichol told a meeting of the Scugog Township Council, he would be willing to sit down with such groups as the local chamber of commerce about what could be done and what kind of assistance the region could be in estab- lishing such an industry. To Nichol, tourism is an excellent money maker, bringing in new rather than recycled money as is the case in serviceindustries, The Monday meeting of council was held as the result of a -Scugog council request to establish its own industrial * public - relations committee to attract new industry to the community. According to the posturing carried out at the outset by - both Nichol and Scugog's Coun. Richard Drew, there were different opinions about whether the northern portion of the region was getting its fair share of development, According. to Drew, Scugog wasn't, He said he and local developers were "not happy with. what Scugog has been getting. "We've been on the short end of the stick for too long. We don't want to replace the region's function (in the promotion of new industry here) but we want to assist the region in attracting industry," said Drew. Not so, servicing shortcomings as the major reason for slow Lightning strikes house Firemen suspect lightning was the cause of a fire last Wednesday that caused extensive damage to the kitchen area of a home owned by 'Arnold Roach of Manchester. Firemen think that the lightning travelled through the vent above the stove. Officials said they had no - idea about total - damage, saying only that it was "extensive". Water damage, according to fire- men, was minimal, since extinguishers were mainly used to subdue the flames. Firemen were called out to their first grass fire of the season on Sunday. Trucks of the Port Perry Hall answered the call at about 12:30 on Sunday. The small fire was in a field behind a house and barn on Victoria Street. T0 FERTILIZE YOUR LAWN WITH QUALITY C.I.L.

One burned down, at least partially due to an insuffi- cient water - supply, while the Beaverton plant had to close down during the summer for a number of days for the same reason. "Most industries require adequate water and sewage," he said. Referring to council's request for lists of develop- ers who are thinking about locating in the region, Mr. Nichol said that many of the initial inquiries are on a confidential basis. 'Having it splashed across the front page of the newspaper is the last thing they want," he said. Often, he said, releasing of such -informa- tion could mean a hike in land prices, union-labour difficulties and even effects in the marketplace. "We cannot "betray this trust.

PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Apr, 6, 1977 -- 7 Students prepare for 'At Home' by Sheila O'Reilly A few strange occurances took place at Port Perry High on Friday, 'the first day of April, that cannot go unmentioned. School Spirit was at its peak. The most noteable occur- ance was the unofficial beginning of the speed read- ing craze in the library. Librarians were asked to be on their toes at 3:20 when the "F-H" shelf was return- ed. When asked for a comment, one librarian promptly replied, 'As the trust), said Nichol. He assured that his de- partment is working hard for the entire area, and not just the southern industrial centres. "Just because it is slow in the north now, that doesn't mean it will always be slow." He said that small industry will to go on septic and wells are not encouraged to go elsewhere. He did suggest, however, that good serviceable in- dustrial land is a definite attraction to industry, and that existing sites don't fit in that category.
