WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1948 » THE DAILY" TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE 'NIN PORT PERRY Port Perry Sports Day Promises Fun for All; Many Events Scheduled Final plans for the big Port Perry Sports Day were completed on Monday night, when the Business men's Association met to tie in all the loose ends and set the stage for next Monday's celebration. As- sociation President Oscar Beare told The Times-Gazette that plans this year called for the "biggest and best show we have 'ever had-- and we really mean that." The big event of the day is ex- pected to be the trotting race caid, which will be run off in the after- noon. There. are to be three races, the first for 2.28 trotters or pacers, the second for 222 trotters and pacers, and a "free-for-all." Al- though not all the entries are In, Race Director Bert McGregor said that there are already a half-dozen entrants in each race, many of them from points outside the county. For the children, there are tp he two pony events, a 12-hand pony race and a 13-hand race. The chil- dren will thus get a chance to cheer or ride their favourites to victory in their own races--but it is thought that the interest which the pony races have attracted in other years will draw more than a few of the fathers and mothers, those older "kids." For the entertainment of all, young and old, there will be the antics of two trained horses, which, according to those who saw them earlier this year at Lindsay, "can do everything except drink tea from a cup." The two star performers are called Baldy and Petsy, and they are from Toronto. The heroes of the Port Perry baseball team have challenged nines from three other centres, Lindsay, Cambray and Little Brit- ain. They will play an elimination tournament, in which the Port Perry team vows they will come out on top. Comments from the other entries were not available. Music in the afternoon will be provided by the Port Perry Brass Band, and for dancing in the eve- ning by Van De Walker and his orchestra. The dance will be a street dance held in the open on 'Port Perry's Main Street. There will be a street fair held along with tne dance, at which Bingo, grocery booths and other sports will be fea- tured. There will be a lucky draw on the dance tickets, with prizes of over $25 for the lucky ticket- holders. In the evening the Port Perry Yacht Club will hold a competition for the Businessmen's Association Cup, donated 'as an annual award to the winner of the race over a two-mile course. The proceeds and profits from all these activities are to go to- wards the construction of a new hockey rink, to replace the old one which was condemned last year. The new structure, according to Mr. Beare, is expected to cost in the neighbourhood of $40,000. This is a big slice for a town the size of Port Perry, and Mr, Beare hopes that all the people of the county will turn out and spend their holiday at the annual Port Perry Sports Day, for a good cause. He promises that there will be activities enough to keep everybody happy, and said "I hope to see you all there!" Hint Eased Taxes Ahead for Radios And Motor Cars. Ottawa, July 28--(CP)--Rumors began circulating here today that the government shortly will start a progressive removal of the special excise taxes imposed on a long list of durable consumer goods in last November's austerity program. There was no comment in govern- ment circles. The reports said that the taxes first would be lifted from goods which have been adversely affected by the levies. Radios, for ex- ample, have become a glut on the retail market because the taxes have tended to discourage their sale. Later, the tax would be lifted from electrical goods and motor cars. Removal of the taxes was pre- dicted during the parliamentary session which ended a month ago. The suggestion then was that the government still had not decided when to "time" the removal. Finance Minister Abbott, com- menting on that report, recalled that he had said several times that the taxes were temporary and would be lifted when their useful- ness was ended. They had been originally intended as a dollar- saving and consumption-depressant device.

July 28--(CP)--Al- most the entire population of this tiny fishing village today gathered at special grave-side services for 13 unidentified victims of the worst plane crash in Canadian aviatiop history. They were buried Tuesday night in seven graves in the Roman Catholic cemetery. Bodies of the other 16 crash vic- tims were claimed late Tuesday by relatives after Dr. Hector Rioux, district coroner, pronounced a ver- dict of accidental death. They were taken by rail, plane and hearse to family burying plots in their home towns. The 13 who were buried here were so badly burned and battered, after the two-engined DC-3, in which they were travelling from Anticosti Island crashed into Cape Bon Ami headland, that they could 'not be identified. The inquest opened Tuesday af- ternoon and the grim task of identifying as many of the victims as possible from a few personal possessions and torn bits of clothing was carried out. The crash now was only a mem- ory of the inhabitants who were drawn so deeply into the tragedy when the search first began Sat- urday for the wrecked plane. Gaspe Air Crash Victims Buried In Fishing Village But it was a vivid memory. They recalled the drone of motors as the converted Dakota made its ap- proach from the sea, preparing to land at the nearby airfield.
