The bill was submitted for payment at the last council meeting and councillors felt Sewer Job Goes To Burnfield Murray Burnfield Plumbing and Heating has been award- eda contract to connect mun- icipal-owned buildings to the sewer system. Burnfield's bid for the work was $3,250. The only other contractor to tender, Wes Lane Plumbing and Heat- ing offered a bid of $4,300. The work involves hooking «ap the works department, Birdseye Centre, public wash- rooms and the municipal off- ices to the system. For a while it looked like council might have to defer the work until next year be- cause there was no money. The item hadn't been included in the budget. But council decided to go ahead with the work and charge it up to the parks account since much of "the work was connected with the parks." the charge was too high in connection with the amount of work involved. Coun. Gerry Jackman was} the most disturbed and assail- ed the company for past ad- vice that has cost the Village "a lot of money." Continued on page 10 [Pull Up A | Chair.'. ... Council last week al- most had a replacement for Reeve Robert Kenny who has been vacationing in Europe for the past month. The meéeting had just got under way when a man walked in, apologized for being late, pulled out a chair and was ready to sit down. He disappeared just as quickly when council in- formed him that the meet- ing he wanted was in the arena. -- - 4 ing majority has steadily in- creased till in the 1967 elect- jon it was over 5000. On taking his seat in the legisla- ture the doctor was appointed to chair the committee on Health, The first task then was to consider the new Hospital Insurance legislation. In July, 1957 he was appointed to the Cabinet as Minister of Reform Institutions; nine months later he was appointed to set up the first Department of Transport and in December, 1958 he was given the Portfolio of Health which he held longer than any health minister in Ontario's history. His first task here was to implement the Hospital Insu- rance programme. Then fol- lowed over the next near 11 years the most vigorous pro- grammes in health in the pro- vince, many of. these have been copied by other juris- dictions, here and in other countries, These include the Mental Health programmes, the Ambulance plan, Air poll- ution control was begun, Nur- sing Homes control, up-dated schools of Nursing, and great expansion of Educational fac- ilities in health. Medical Ser- vices Insurance was developed under Dr. Dymond's direction and put into operation in such manner that no one in the Province, regardless of age, state of health of financial means need be without this protection. If Dr. Dymond is nomin- ated PC candidate and should win the election, it will be his fifth term in office and will round out 20 years of service in the legislature of Ontario. New Crossing Guard Hired Ray McCully has been hired as a guard for the school crossing on Scugog St. for the school term of 1971-72. Council has not set any salary for Mr. McCully and has left the question open to negotiation. Children in Port Perry and across the Province returned to school yesterday after a carefree summer. At R. H. Corriish Public School they were met by two of the safety patroliers at the school who will be watching out for their welfare during the year. Constable Ed Laas, a safety officer with the Whitby De tachment of the OPP, is at right. The safety members will be patrolling intersections near the school except for ones on Highway 7A which will be manned by two full-time adult crossing guards.
