SENIOR CITIZENS' HOUSING Will Conduct Survey The question of the need for proper housing for senior citizens of Port Perry again came up for discussion at the last council meeting.

The corporation is willing to make a survey in Port Perry to determine the need of housing for senior citizens in the village and it was for this reason the questionaires were required. These will be distributed to the senior citi- zens of the Village in the near future. However, council is of the opinion the promotion and distribution of the question- aires would be a worthy pro- ject for a service club or perhaps the Senior Citizen Club.
