12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, August 23, 1988 Blackstock W.I. honours ladies withmembership On August 10, Blackstock Women's Institute gathered (under the guise of a picnic) to honour 5 members - 4 with Life Membership and 1 a Certificate of Merit. Life Membership is given to an active member with 25 years of consecutive membership. Mrs. Stanford Van Camp join- ed the Institute in 1928 while a single girl and has been a faithful member ever since. She has held many of the offices and been an active and interested member for 59 years! Truly deserving of Life Membership. Mrs. Frank Hoskin is another one of our 'backbone' members since she joined in 1954. She, too, has held various offices all through the 34 years of member- ship and is still holding office today. Mrs. John McArthur has been a member since 1960 -- that's 28 years of devoted service. She's held many offices with one long term specialty of '"'Curator." Mrs. Kenneth Samells joined our W.I. in 1963 when she and her husband moved to Blackstock -- she was a member in Nestleton before that. We've had the privilege of her membership for 25 years during which she held many offices and is still holding office today. Mrs. Ray Bradburn received a Certificate of Merit. She, too, is a long time member, since 1961, and has held various offices but her time of service was inter- rupted for 2 years. We are pleas- ed to honour her with the Cer- tificate of Merit. The members of Blackstock Women's Institute feel privileged to have had these ladies work so hard and faithfully for so many years. Between them they have held almost all the offices in W.1. and have provided the knowledge and experience needed to guide newer members. They truly live out the W.1. Motto -- 'For Home and Country!"' We are happy to honour them ~ with Life Membership & Cer- tificate of Merit and wish them continued good health and happiness. Held across province Toronto -- Public hearings on the Ontario government's pro- posal to allow municipalities the option to regulate Sunday shopp- ing will be held across the pro- vince as an all-party committee takes to the road. Following the kickoff session in Toronto, the legislative commit- tee will travel to 12 centres to hear the public's view of the province's plan. The government's proposal is aimed at providing a fair and en- forceable law. Currently, municipalities deter- mine shopping hours six days a week and they can grant exemp- tions for Sunday shopping in areas they designate for tourism. However, the existing law is un- workable and has been widely abused, particularly in larger communities. While a province-wide law would still require most stores to remain closed on Sundays and holidays, the new legislation would allow municipalities, if they choose, to permit stores to open. Even then Sunday shopping could be restricted to certain areas and hours. The decision would be made at the regional or appropriate level of government to ensure it reflects the broader community. In announcing the proposed legislation earlier this year, Solicitor General Joan Smith said the proposal, "will ensure a fair and enforceable law that recognizes the diversity of the province allowing communities to make decisions based on their own needs and values. Other highlights of the provin- cial legislation include: Yesterday's NMemories Mr. Frank Watson, Seagrave, was presented with a pipe Picture Perfect TELEVISION SERVICE S-- noone SA A 4 Come in for a DEMONSTRATION!
