6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. letter October 18, 1983 Not afraid of change Dear Sir: This letter is in response to your Oct. 12 editorial, '*People afraid of Change." As one of the "incred- ibly selfish' people who attended the Monday council meeting in question | take great exception to being thought a **foolish com- plainer." It is quite obvious that this editorial was written with few facts at hand. For this reason I Hornets nest (From page 5) ings even though some seniors do not use it as often as when it was in its old location but I will contend that it is the building and not its location that is respon- sible for this increase. This is written not to condemn the library or its use. My sympathies are quite to the con- trary. We have it, lets use it. My concern lies in the realization that the erection of the library on the lakefront may be the thin edge of the wedge that leads to further proliferation of our potentially beautiful natural heritage by a conglomeration of brick and motar buildings using natures lakefront setting to offset man's comparatively ugly architecture while at the same time damag- ing our tourist industry. Mr Editor, your sympathetic reference to the location of our library only lends credence and encour- agement to the further distruction of our lake front area which I believe should be pre- served for all to view and enjoy. Let there be any further attempt to obliterate our natural waterfront heritage and the hornests nest will burst open. Yours very sincerely Roy Grierson am enclosing the well thought out and clearly documented objections of those who opposed the zoning change that would allow the con- struction of a ski slope. Your editiorial I'm sure, is not written for those who are clearly aware of the conse- quences of such a change. People are not afraid of change unless it poses a clear threat to their future. Your Editorial was a disappointment and I feel that you have used your power of expression with great carelessness. Wm. Craning, R.R.2, Port Perry Editors Note: The objectors concerns were covered in a news article in this paper October 12. The pro- posal for the ski hill was turned down unan- imously by Scugog Township council at a meeting on the same day.

Two new direc- tors (Lawrence Carr and Glenn Turnball) were elected. Plans were an- nounced for a Clean-Up Bee at 10 a.m. in the Park this Saturday, Oc- tober 22nd, and all hands are needed to get the park ready for winter - after all, we enjoyed it all summer! The U.C.W. met at the home of Jessie Nobbs on Wed. Oct. 12th. Eleven ladies were present. The roll call was a bazaar item. Shirley Barr con- ducted the worship period on a Thanksgiving theme. Fern Tobin presided over the business portion of the meeting. Several items were discussed, and Eleanor Nicholls and Gertrude Wanamaker were added to the Turkey Supper Committee. The ladies were reminded that the forfeit aprons are due at the November meeting, and bazaar items are to be at the Church by Tuesday, November 1st. The meeting closed with the Mizpah Benedic- tion, and a tasty lunch was Served by Jessie and her daughter Joanne. A good number of ladies gathered at the Church on Friday after- noon to honour Mrs. Marion Durward, who has left our community to take up residence in Oakwood. Those that did not at- tend missed a treat- when our own Phyllis Wray demonstrated, with her great sense of humour, what the well- © dressed lady will wear in the near future. You are certainly a good sport, Phyllis. After the laughter died down, Fern Tobinread a poem to Marion, and on behalf of the community, Judy Carr, Luella Ken- nedy and Phyllis Wray presented Marion with an electric fry pan, a ket- tle, a set of dishes and a set of bath towels. Marion thanked everyone for the gifts and a cup of tea and cookies were enjoyed by all. Caroline Rodley is back from Korea visiting with her parents. She ap- pears to have timed it well, as last Monday was her 21st birthday. Con- gratulations Caroline! The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts of the area held a very successful Apple Day last Saturday. With the marvellous assistance of a hardy bunch of parents, they hiked village streets and marched up farm lanes from here to Greenbank and back, asking for donations in return for a shiny red apple. Although one ex-scout was heard to remark that "they don't polish apples like we used to" everyone was most kind and generous. Some members of the community attended a dance at Port Perry Town Hall last Saturday night to help Ray Jobin and his wife Ann celebrate their recent marriage. It was a great party and we wish the happy couple all the best for now and for the future. The news is a little short this week, I guess An apple aday thusiastic group from Seagrave.

Know-it-alls! "Knowledge" the dictionary says, is the "awareness of facts, truths or principles." With this in mind, we could not help but reprint an article found in last week's issue of the Stouffville Tribune entitled 'Students answers used from tests." The article begins: "Due to a recent em- phasis placed upon science and mathematics, an evaluation was deemed necessary. Follow- ing is a list of student answers compiled from 1.
