Ball Park Extra Sports Facility With the addition this year of a new, lighted ball park, right en the lake front, sports facili- ties in Port Perry are the envy ef many other and even larger centres. And this ball park, near the Port Perry Yacht Club, was made possible for the village in just 10 short months. It has the most modern ball park lighting available. Fourteen hard working, com- munity - minded citizens were responsible for the collecting of some $5,000 within the vil- lage and its surrounding area, to build the field. This 14-member citizens' com- mittee was appointed last Oc- tober. All its members pledged at a public meeting at that time Port Perry would have a lighted ball field in time for this season's opening. OBTAINED FILL The committee tage of a major Ontario De- partment of Highways project, the rebuilding of the Highway 7A causeway, linking Scugog Island with the mainland, to obtain fill for what is now the ball field. Until this land was reclaimed by the citizens committee, it was used as the village dump. Garbage, committee secretary- treasurer W. Howard Hall points out, made excellent fill te eliminate what was a swampy marsh area. When the highway project: took advan-| began the committee kept many trucks running, hauling broken road surface material and gravel to its proposed site. Then, with the assistance of Health Minister M. B. Dymond, the committee approached the Ontario government for a grant to assist with its project. Although nothing is definite yet, it expects a_ provincial $1,200 to be forthcoming to as- sist with fencing costs for the ball park. Seating accommodation for approximately 400 spectators has been provided. The new ball park was sched- wled te have been officially opened a couple of weeks ago, with the NHL All-Stars chal- lenging the Intermediate Port Perry Merchants. Hlowever, a late afternoon dcewnpour forced cancellation of the cfficial opening that day and it will be heid Aug. 25. The NHL All-Star team will still come kere to play the Mer- chants. Other teams making use of the new park include the Port Perry Squirts, Midgets and Bantams. ; Citizens committee members included Roy Cornish, presi- dent; W. Howard Hall, secre- tary-treasurer; Bruce Beare, Art Cox, Bill Chapman, Ken Jackson, Carl Luke, Bill Harp- er, Harold Jeffrey, Elmer Lee, Norman Powell, Mike Oke, John Ballard and Roddy Foster. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, July 31, 1962 JF] Uranium Deal Criticized TORONTO (CP) Mining officials were critical Monday over the Ottawa announcement that Britain has signed a con- tract to purchase $127,000,000 in Canadian uranium. Steve Roman, president of Denison Mines Limited, which operates at Elliot Lake, Ont., described the contract as a "perpetuation of the tactical blunders of the previous ad-| ministration.' { He said "the immature and irrational concessions by the Canadian government cunsti- tute a sell - out of Canada's uranium industry to the tune of $70,000,000." Gilbert Labine, presiden: of Gunnar Mines Limited, in the | Beaver Lodge area, said: "We're jubilant about the signing of the contract but I wouldn't use the word jubilant about the price we're getting." to.
