The Scugog Economic Develop- ment Committee and The Chamber of Commerce shared a booth to promote Scugog. It was a most successful endeavor and from all biased viewpoint we had a very attractive display, due in large part to the ideas and co-operation of a number of groups and individuals within our community. Daphne Mitchell, the B.L.A. rep. on the Economic Develop- ment Committee was instru- mental in determining the lay- out and generous in the provision of props. Her exper- tise was indeed appreciated. Sa- rah Bell of Compton Cable along with both of our local newspapers were most co- operative in giving access to their photo files. Sarah even took some additional pictures for us, and Peter Hvidsten's col- or photocopier was a lifesaver. The Scugog Shores Museum Village provided display boards and items. Gail Sheridan scoured the museum hunting down some items which I had requested. Roy Walker-Smith stuffed a ton of pamphlets. Kim Harper gave tips on how to mount and display photo en- largements. Barry Page of Ca- noe The Nonquon, - delivered and picked up a canoe which added greatly to the atmos- phere we were trying to create. Dorothy Naples loaned us a treasured family artifact. Mar- go Gadsden (I know her well), spent Saturday directing Bill Dowson and I in setting up the booth and Sunday manning the booth, along with chamber reps Alissa Smith and Bill Dowson, Councillor Dave Dietlein and myself. My sincere thanks go to all of the above and also to Mayor Hall, council members and staff for their support. Above all thanks are due to Debbie Tzountzouris of Haugen's who as president of T.A.D.R. under- took the monumental task of staging a show of this magni- tude. It provided an ideal oppor- tunity to showcase our town- ship of which tourism is such a vital part. Thanks again, Ken Gadsen, Chair Scugog Economic Development Committee, Councillor Ward 3 Greed rather than need From Page 6 when it should be pointed out that local people do not always gain employment from local de- velopment. (The hospital addi- tion is a case in point). If the res- idents of Scugog Township and Port Perry specifically, genu- inely desire additional develop- ment (something that I do not believe is the case) then let us have very moderate develop- ment with a high degree of com- munity consultation. I do not think that anyone here wishes to reside in a sea of subdivisions planned for greed rather than need. Let us hope that the sewage facilities are not updated and this 1980s mentality of develop- ing without thinking of the long-term consequences i8 not pursued. Sincerely, W.R. Hick, Proud Port Perry resident Kidney drive a success To the Editor: I am happy to report the over- whelming success of the March Kidney Foundation donation campaign. I found the people that I can- vassed to be more generous than ever. My collections alone brought over $1,100 from the people on Highway 12 from Saintfield to the 1st Concession of Scugog.

A large crowd gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Harper, Prince Albert, to honor Mr. and Mrs. Howard Jeffery at a miscellaneous shower.

Rev. Gordon Hunter, B.A., B.D., of Asbury and West United Church was the missionary at a Preaching Mission held in Greenbank. A record of continued good service to his community and the support of their customers earned Port Perry IGA dealer, Jack and his wife Doreen, an expense-paid trip to Nassau in the Bahamas. 20 YEARS AGO Wednesday, April 24, 1984 Council allowed 55 days for anyone interested in preserving the Port Perry Town Hall to come up with ideas and hard cash before being put up for sale. A proposal was received from professional actor and theatre director Mina E. Mina who wanted to see the hall turned into a centre for the arts and include a summer theatre, similar to that of Stratford. A delegation of approximately 256 people met with the Durham Board of Education and presented reasons for wanting Cartwright High School to continue functioning. Following a brief session in committee, the board decided that operations would continue as usual, much to the delight of the Cartwright delegation. . Education Week began at Port Perry High School with an At Home for parents and students. The Queen and Princess of the 1974 At-Home were JaneAnne Stone and Joan Coates. 10 YEARS AGO Tuesday, April 24, 1984 Charles Lown, of Port Perry, a carver of five years, had his creations on display at Scugog Public Library and also gave demonstrations on burning techniques in bird carving.
