H. S. Swabey con- ducted the annual memorial service Sunday afternoon at St. Paul's Ceme- tery, Columbus, : About thirty-five people gathered in the little churchyard, which is sit- uated about three miles north of Brooklin on' the Seventh Consession, some coming' from Toronto, Oshawa and Pory Perry. The service opened with a hymn and prayer and then Mr, Swabey gave a short address, telling how he had taken the service there a year 'ago when he had only been in Canada three weeks and since then hé 'has. visited the spot. several times and visited the graves of the pioneers who lie there. He was greatly im- pressed at the great age of many of the pioneers as recorded on the monu- ments testifying that they must have been a strong and sturdy race of peo- ple. The St. Paul's church that stood in the yard was erected in 1836 and the site was then known as "English Cor- ners" and was the first Anglican Church in this* district. Port Perry's Church of the Ascent sion and St. Thomas' Anglican Church were built about, the aame time fin 1868. "This is a very.gpecial spot" he went on "if we consider the depart- ed or the living as the living still: share the fruits of their labors m both material and spiritual . things. Our Church has spread in all direc- 'tions and is particularly maintained at St.- Thomas, Brooklin and. the Church of the Ascension, Port Perry. The land hag been converted from wilderness to garden and I have read extracts from the records of the early missionaries that 'He rode over the ridges and found it hard going.' " "If we consider the Departed, and they are particularly in our thoughts Mary Street Paving Street, promised by cour@il Tor some Petition Won't Help Situation Says Councillor Paving of two blocks on Mary time, will be completed as soon as the Northern Construction Company is able to come here for the short job, councillor Harry Peel stated yester- day. The works chairman hopes to get a starting date from-the company shortly. "A petition from the Mary street residents won't speed the, paving of the street one bit," said Mr. Peel. "What we are up against is that the village has not" the equipment to do such a job and 'we must.wait until a construction company has 'the time available for such a small job." He explained that it was hoped that the job could have been definitely done in September because the construc- tion company expects a lay-off from their work at.Blackstock. This is the only way we @an do the job eco- nomically" said Mr, Peel. It is ex- pected that the hot mix at $7 per ton will cost around $4,000 for' the two block streteh between Water and John streets. S. A. Orde, Mary street resident told the Star the council desérves a kindly word of appreciation if the work is to go ahead. "We've been promised this job for a long time. 'It's supposed to be done this month, said Mr, Orde. "There's been talk oof a petition by the residents along here," he said, adding a note about how numerous buses tear up the streédt; Myr, Peel, who is busy these days -directing the threé-man gang on street |" re-surfacing, has made at léast six trips to Blackstock on his own to get a definite. word from the contractor and hopes to reach him this week. today; for. them this place is main- tained and their names are hallowed here, for they settled and civilized this area and did not forget the spir- itual side. Few could.hope to see their people again, it was a hard life, but not lonely for they had to live in harmony. Most of their descend- ants have scattered but some few re- main." The service closed with a hymn, a Like most centres in Ontario, rent controls in the village of Port Perry will be lifted March 2, 1962, it was learned this week. ) Council took no action on a letter from the Minister of Travel and Pub- licity pointing out that unless a motion was passed asking for exemp- tion the rental contols would be lifted here. «According to the minutes council felt 'that no action be taken as conditions under the Rent Control are very unfair and as-there ave few renters in the village. er that there are few tenants in town at present and that under rental con- trols some of the older tenants ean enjoy low rentals while the newey tenants aren't affected and can be charged higher-rents. -He pointed out that in larger centres it may bé more of a problem. ' "Although rent 'controls will be re- moved from 77 pei cent. of Ontario municipalities, these municipalities are generally smaller towns and vil- lages. Toronto, Hamilton and--other most large centres are continuing controls. Most Ontario residents will remain under controls. Not included in the municipalities in which controls will be dropped are Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Bowmanville, Coboourg, Port Hope, and Newcastle. Controls will be discontinued in Pick- a ing. CAN CHANGE MINDS YET-- Letters were written to the council telling 'them the committee's opinioh and "giving them an opportunity' td coomment, The letters were worded in such a way that if there was no reply, the council knew that the committee's designation would be recommended: to the cabinet. Only 49 of the 923 questioned requested a change, 33 asking_that controls be left on and 16 volunteering- that controls be re- moved. py : The Order-in-Council was passed by the Cabinet yesterday but the muni- cipalities have six months in which to change their minds, at the end of Which the order, amended if necessary, will go into effect. > ------ NEW SHOE SHOP OPEN SATURDAY Port Perry's first. exclusive . shoe store will open this Saturday, owner Charles Popert announces today.
