'The teaching that we give our young people in the home and in the school and in the church concerning the realities, the op- portunities and the true challenge of adult, living particularly as it applies to marriage and the family is pitfully inadequate. We permit such agencies as the movies, the radio, magazines, and even advertising . . « purely in the scramble for more and more profits . . . to'sell our youth vicious ideas about love: and romance. So pur young people tend to develop an unrealistic picture of human relations right up to marriage. : ) pick up the pieces as they can. Let us teach the truths we do know. Let us teach the truths -about marriage. Krom here on they are leit to about human relations - undistorted . by selfish desires for personal profits and gain. - There are ministers, teachers, doctors, - social workers, psychologists and parents. who know and understand the great po- tentiatlities of marriage for good living; let us learn from them or let us learn from "the many books that have been written on' .~ the subject. | When the home, the school and the church tackle intelligently the problem of teaching the. young- concerning romance and marriage many of our modern social problems will disappear and there avill be much greater human happiness and joy. dP R AAA oe AH : PORT PERRY, ONT, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25th, 1951 AAEIRNTUADRARST ESI 7 = : 1 -- ge A PERPLEXING PROBLEM This week the Roman Catholic Church was much 'in the news because of a ban . © directed against the Rotary international. . Rotary is by no stretch of imagination sub- versive: ~~ Why the ban? Even Roman Catholic officials in this country find it diffcult to understand. N Shortly before Chrstmas the same church was in the news with a vehement denunciation of the Hope Commission Re- port. When the Roman Catholic. Church defends its stand on the ground that its educational programme and its stand on ""secular affairs is directed towards the pro- visions of a way. of lite that will guarantee the right values there is no question of its burning and zealous sincerity. However, if the Roman Catholic Church provides a programme of religious instruc- "toon and character training that ensures the Good Life and a bulwark against Com- munism proof should not be wanting for its claims. I'rance, a Roman.Catholic Country, finds that one out of every four Frenchmen is a Communist; Italy the number is slight- ly higher and we have read estimates that one in every three is a Communist. Mexico was a Roman Catholic country and it is now wholly Communist. The countries of Kurope--Czecho-Slovakia, Jugoslavia, Bul- garia and Roumania were also Catholic and are now Communist.

Letter to the Editor : STILL INTERESTED IN PORT PERRY AND ITS WELFARE Bancroft, Jan. 16th, 1951 The Editor, The Port Perry Star: Through the medium of your col- umns I would like to express the pleasure and pride I felt when I read in the Toronto papers of the dedica- tion of your very fine Memorial Centre. : As a community, you are to be con- gratulated on the completion of such a splendid enterprise, It represents the fulfilment of a cherished hope on the part of older citizens that young peopple might have the best in re- treational facilities and it demon- strated to the public: the ability of young and old to co-operate. The ice is gnly-one place: where team work is the deciding factor in success. As an old Port Perry boy, I tender my congratulations to you all. May your Memorial Centre be a source of 'health, happiness and good sports- manship. 5 "" ~~~ GORDON W. JONES. "Accident We are sorry to report that Mr. H.

Christie; reviewed the work of the Society for the year, the main theme of which was the 1950 Fall Fair. Although the late harvest held many away from both exhibiting and attending the Fair, (there was stook threshing within sight of the Fair Grounds) yet we had a good showing in every line and a good attendance. Some--of--the--new--features---were,-- a Gueingey Field Day, this along with the- Black and White Show made a good exhibit of Dairy Cattle. = The Junior Farmers had a Tractor-Driving Contest and there was a Treasure Hunt for the children which they en- joyed. : Ld New cattle ties were put in for the Guernsey Show and Calf Club, The Windows in the main building were covered with hinged doors to stop so much window. hreaking. The roads were graded and gravelled. While this has depleted the finances it has improved the grounds. : The Financial Report showed total receipts for the 'year of $56,178.80 with 2,637.600 paid out for Prizes which does not include the Racing Purses. Figuring on the receipts and disbur: sements that pertained to the Fair alone, there is a deficit on the day of $68.27. Figuring in, some out- standing receipts, we finished the year with a balance of $2.26. We realize that this.is small when we had a pretty successful Fair but the prize money was well taken up which means that theré "was a good exhibit' throughout. We'll have to look for an increase in our Donations if we are going to continue to pay the present prize money. The 1950 Board of Directors were re-elected with Fred G. Christie, Pre- sident, (his 10th year) Anson Gerrow, 1st Vice and Armour McMillan, 2nd Vice. Sec.-Treas.,-R. D. Woon, 13th year. The Board appreciate the co-opera- tion and help that has been given by all. They are looking forward to a bigger and better fair in 1951. We will need 'your help. . Fred is Chairman of this District, No. 4 and will be taking part in the dsicussions at the Convention in To- ronto next week, His name is on the program. We congratulate him. Sports (I. W. Parkinson) Since my last article of some weeks ugo, our local midgets all-stars have suffered § set-back with the following being the scoring summary--1st game Newmarket 6-0; 2nd game Stout- ville 5-0; 3rd game Aurora 2-0; 4th- game Stouffville 5-3; 5th game New- market 1-0. While: that is the scor- ing statistics here's a little more on the subject--(1) Newmarket, Aurora and Stouffville have artificial ice and have been using same for hockey since early October; (2) Port: Perry's Midget 1st game was a league game in Newmarket, this being played af- ter 2 very short practice sessions. Recalling the same game in New- market we note that our lads had shots on goal in Newmarket while in the 1-0 affair here on Monday it was anybody's: game up to the final whistle. ) eri Will Enter Playoffs As Aurora and Newmarket are both "B" competition (i.e. well over 3000 pop.) Port Perry and Stouffville will automatically be in a short 2 out of 3 game play-off or a two game series (goals to ¢Bunt). While we are not going out on a limb and say- ing we are definitely going to elim- inate--Stouftville, ; we are sure that Stouffville are not going to win with- out a terrific struggle. With Lloyd Balfour back and Owen in the local nets displaying the same kind of tal- ent he has in the 2-0 and 1-0 games, don't count the Midgets out: No and how about the attendance.

Hyland, 80 years Jan, 11th. Best wishes after 41 years of service to the Township The Reeve, after expressing regret that Mrs. Hyland's health did not-per- mit her to be present, spoke very highly of "the service that Fred had rendered to the Township, especially in the difficult job of Assessor, and especially in keeping in touch with our five hundred or over summer resi- | dents. Fred knew nearly all these residents personally. He still has one of the best memories in'the Township, which is wonderful at 80 years of age. The Reeve also spoke of the services rendered in his many years as auditor, Councillor and Reeve, and represent- ative of the Township at the County Council. Now that Fred had seen fit to retire from public life, he wished him many more years of health. to enjoy the sunset of life. } The Clerk spoke of his associations with Fred since he became Treasurer in 1933 as the Assessor and Treasurer had to work together and these asso- ciations had always been very friend- ly and co-operative.

Port Perry had the desire to win and put everything' well and Port's goalie young Sweet- | man came up with. many great saves. For the. losers, Morton, Staley and Osadehuck played a great- game. Port' Perry midgets lost a thriller to. Newmarket, by_-a-score-of -1-to- 0. This game was not as hard hitting as the Juvenile game but what it lacked in hard hitting was made up by fast skating and some smooth passing especially on the part of the Newmarket kid line. For the win- ners Mair, Davis and Lothian played outstanding, as were Peol, Owen and Hayes of the Port Team. -The people of Port Perry and sur- rounding districts are missing some good hockey games.
