This is not true. The program is strictly volun- tary. We are asking the Board-of Education for this French program and it is solely up to us to inform parents and gain enough support on our own. None of us trying to organize this effort is French. What about increased education costs? There is some expense in initially setting up a French Immersion program but the program is only offered if the numbers justify it. Thus, it is necessary that there are enough students to form a full class of 26. These students will need a teacher and books and material whether they are taking French or English. This letter covers only the bare bones of the issues. We want people in Port Perry to be informed. There is litera- ture available in the library and from members in the Port Perry French Immersion Parents Associ- ation. There will be an Open House at a French Immer- sion School in Oshawa, an excellent opportunity to view French Immersion classes in progress. A meeting will be held for interested parents, details of these events are Free Show For Shut-ins outlined elsewhere in this paper. We invite interested parents to learn the facts. After a very successful showing last year, the Borelians will once again perform a free show for the handicapped and shut-ins of the township this year.

Four weeks ago the water rose enough to flood the causeway but we didn't know then that the water would rise and rise until it reached a depth of more than two feet and remain for some weeks. All sorts of com- plications and expense have resulted. 15 YEARS AGO Thursday, May 6, 1965 At a ceremony in the Scout Hall recently, Mrs. A.

Larry Emmerson and Anna Forder have been appointed co-managers of advertising for the Durham College monthly magazine, '"'Drum". editorial continued some time in the future, it will greatly open up the Port Perry waterfront running from Palmer to Birdseye Park. That will take money, however, and as most property owners are aware, local governments are straining at the moment to maintain levels of existing services. Nevertheless, the land is there and someday in the future will be re-claimed as waterfront open space. The beauty of the Port Perry waterfront is that it lends itself to a host of different activities: sports, swimming, boating, fishing, or just casual strolling. It is a credit to this community and the people who live here that the lakefront is so popular with people who live elsewhere. As for when more open space areas along the lakefront are developed, that will be a political decision for the local council, largely dependent on the availability of funds, and whether Scugog taxpayers want the money spent for this purpose.
