The trees and planters gost about $500 each, and council agreed to spend what is left out of the Queen Street reconstruction project con- tingency fund. The amount won't be known until the project is completed in a couple of weeks, but it's estimated to be about $4000. The trees will grow to a height of about 25 feet in the planters before they would have to be removed, and re-planted, and then replac- ed with smaller trees. Group home (From page 1) law, and thus does not need a re-zoning. Mr. Fitchett said the decision by property owners on the two beaches to seek the permanent injunction was made several weeks ago. He said that about 35 resi- dents from the two beaches and from elsewhere on the southern part of Scugog Island have contributed money to help pay for the legal costs which so far have run to about $5000. The property owners have maintained all along that a group home in their area will cause the value of their homes to go down, and Mr. Fitchett said that many homeowners along the beaches have plans to appeal their tax assessments at review court next year, if the group home is still operat- ing. Library raises $100 by Carol Hobbs The Scugog Public Library received over $100 towards the Building Fund, Wednes- day, July 23rd at the Oshawa Centre. Friends of the Library and the Library Finance Com- mittee Volunteers manned a booth at the Centre and sold raffle tickets for the Hog Draw which will be held August 9th and the quilt raffle which will be drawn at the fall fair. The Committee is planning another booth in front of Stedmans, Friday, August 1st and again at the Oshawa Centre 'on Wednesday, August 6th. fh " Look for them and support your library. The recommendation was made by councillor Reg Rose who said that with the con- struction soon to be complet- ed, the street needs to be spruced up. Council also agreed that four trées without planters will be placed on the south side of Queen Street in the block between Perry and John Streets where four large trees had to be remov- ed during construction. The removal of the four large trees three weeks ago caused some anger among downtown business people, but roads superintendent Ron MacDonald told council Monday afternoon that the trees were dying, there was some damage to the roots, and they likely would have had to be removed within two years anyway. He said that once the curb and sidewalk were con- structed, removing the trunks of the large trees would probably have meant damaging the curb and side- walk. Although approving this "Jnitial tree planting, Mayor Jerry Taylor made it clear that the Chamber of Commerce and downtown business people will have input into a more intensified street beautification program once the construc- tion is complete. He said that a meeting will be called to get input and suggestions about such things as benches, and flow- er planters for Queen Street. 15 Off ANY TABLE" ROUND PEDESTAL - HARVEST DROP LEAF - TRESTLE (With or Without Extensions) * With the Purchase of 4 or More Chairs (Over a Dozen Styles to Choose From) - See what a little love can do (or: What Real Quality is All About!)

The weatherman did not co-operate to well, providing a sharp thunder storm, barrels of rain and a small cring of hail, the same weather we enjoyed here at Malconia with almost hurri- cane winds and vivid electri- cal storm. Once again we observe an unusual condition for this time of year, an excess of rain that fields cannot absorb and unusual run-offs with corn standing in the water resembling rice paddies. Considerable damage was done to corn locally as the high winds not only bent over but broke off many corn stalks. Even took a couple of our lawn chairs and trans- ported them from their shelter away across the lawn against the fence. A cheap if somewhat unreliable source of energy. Congratulations to Aunt Ella Patterson of Lindsay as Scugog Island News by Mrs. Earl Reader Don Gerrow is recuperat- ing at home after his recent surgery in Oshawa. We trust five weeks or so will find him completely restored to health. The Fralicks and Cawkers had family picnics on Sunday. Many adherents at the Island Church on Sunday were remembered in spite of their absence. The attend- ance dropped back to a number noted four years ago. But music enthusiasm had seemed to bring a con- tinual increase until a great rest seemed desirable. How- ever, we trust August 24 will find everyone refreshed and eager for a new beginning. We find ourselves ap- proaching an era of - many uncertanties when we need strength and assurance that God's individual, patient, seeking, rejoicing, protect- 1ve love will help to carry our burdens if we ask, especially when it is estimated there will be one million unem- ployed by 1981.
