ORONO ORPHANS "" Haugen's Drive-Inn Restaurant at Manchester was almost the scene of a 'bad fire. Only the prompt action of a number of folk prevented the total destruction of this new building. While, the Ontario Shore Gas supply truck was filling the tanks used for cooking on Tuesday morning, gas leak- ed from one of the connections and "was apparently set on fire by a spark from the exhaust fan that was run- ning above the spot where the tanks stood. A spot of flame shot up to the eave which started to burn; this jumped through a small window and ignited the grease in the deep fryer. Mrs, Frank Johnson, a nearby neighbour, was out getting an arm- ful of wood for her stove when she saw the first burst of flames, With- - out a moment's hesitation she dropped «the wood and put in a call for the "Port Perry Fire Brigade which res- ponded promptly, due to the co-opera- tion of the Port Perry Telephone At the same time others were hurrying to help. A mechanic from the Manchester garage brought a fire © extinguisher, and a crew of Hydro men who were passing stopped and brought their extinguisher. Then the fire brigade arrived and quickly had .a spray of water turned on the hot tanks, to cool them, so that other fire men could approach and were able to --push-the-tanks-away from-the build- ing with pike poles, after which they were doused with CO2 foam. It is indeed fortunate that these tanks did not explode while they were so hot. The driver of the Ontario Shore Gas 4 truck had his hair badly scorched and 3 . children present. received light burns on his face, but he remained on the scene until the "fire was out, after having removed his- truck to a safe distance from the -blaze. Mrs. Hagen says that they expect to have 'the Restaurant repaired, cleaned and ready for business again in about a week. Blackstock W.A. of the United Church met at the home of Mrs. Herb.

Wednesday last, saw the beginning of the Winter operations in Memorial Gardens, The Management and committee of the arena feel that the citizens | of the community should realize the magnitude of this operation and be proud that owr small community has such a place for all to use. When the arena was first built and operated only during the cold winter months, it was difficult to realize the expense entailed when the artificial ice plant was added. The present expenditure for the arena for a 12 month period is as follows: Ice equipment--value $30,000 with depreciation at 109% per year Insurance Hydro - Fuel Wages (manager, caretaker, booth manager) Advertising Telephone TOTAL Spenditive in EP PE JP PINE - $3,000.00 Building and floor--value $65, 000 with h depreciation at § 3% per year ............... : Debenture payments and interest $1960.00 $2000.00 $1000.00 $1200.00 $14,670.00 From the above figures, one can readily st see 'that it requires sound management to operate such an enterprise and try to break even. Last year some 279 free hours of ice time were given by the management--this was made up of free time given two after noons each week, during the 6 months of winter operation, for Public School skating, The minor. hockey had each Saturday morning and some evening times, and the Port Perry Junior "B" and Intermediate "C" hockey teams each had free practice time. It is only through the co- operation of the many organizations, and good citizens of Port Perry, who night after night give freely of their time to work in the booth, take. and sell tickets and clean the ice that these many hours of free time are available to the children of the community. This past summer, the management, through the fine efforts of Mr. Lloyd Myers, painted most of the interior of the arena, making it most presentable for the coming season. every second Friday evening and was realized. Wrestling was introduced in most instances a small profit The special holiday night rentals thrbnighont the sum- mer failed to bring in as much money as years previous. : The Port Perry Curling Club was formed last year, and many men and women of the community availed themselves of this oppor- tunity to make use of the areni: We sincerely hope that with the installation of the added freezing equipment, the curling club will continue to grow and help make our arena a- "community place for Skating, Hockey and Curling. This coming season, through the kind co-oper ation of the Port Perry Hockey Club, the management have realized a.good working agreement with the Orono Orphans Hockey Club. This is a fine hockey organization operating in the Lakeshore League O.H.A. Inter} mediate "A" series. They will be playing all their home games in|. our arena and the citizens of Port Perry are in for some fine hockey. The financial arrangement will not only be beneficial to the arena but will also be a big help to the boys working with the Port Perry Minor Rockey. We ask your support to all these games. ~The committee and management do appreciate the free help and many free hours of time given to the arena this past year and sincerely trust that the people of the community will give the arena all the help and co-operation possible this coming season.

It represents a great effort on the part of the government of the Pro- vince to render our highways safer for the motorist, the passenger and the pedestrian alike, so far as human ingenuity and effort can do so, "I appeal to the people of the Pro- vince to regard this great effort in the all important light that it demands. All branches of the law enforcement will work together but that is not enough. Every member of the public must work together by exercising the care and caution that is so necessary with modern traffic, "Remember, just as we cannot af- ford to lose one life unnecessarily, not one of us can afford to be careless, even for a moment, upon the high- ways."

Ir-------- The Hilltop: HALLOWE'EN DANCE Friday evening, October 28th, stu. dents from near and far gathered in the auditorium of Port Perry High School for the Hallowe'én Dance, This dance seemed very well organized and there seemed to be a good group spirit. Danny Reesor ran the public ad- dress system (records) and made -all the announcements for the various dances, The programme consisted of Bunny-hops, Broom dances, girl's tags, boy's tags, snowball dances, elimina- tion dances and numerous Paul Jones' Pop, cider and doughnuts were sold at the cafeteria. "Appropriately Danny played for the last dance "Good-Night Sweetheart." by Barry Fletcher, P.P.H.8. Student Council, W.M.S. Rally The W.M.S., Autumn Rally of the Western Section, Oshawa Presbyter- ial, was held in the Port Perry United Church, Friday, October 28th, with a fair attendance, THEME--Education for Action. The morning sessions opened at 9.30 am., with Mrs. Clifford Love, President of the Western Section in the chair, After the Devotional, a cordial wel- come was extended to the ladies by our local President Mrs. Edgar Leask. When the business was concluded, Literature Secretary, Mrs. R. E. Mow- bray, Brooklin, reported on the Book- shelf and named a list of Missionary Books available, Mrs. K. C. Hopkins, President of the Oshawa Presbyterial, in her mes- sage advised us, that, people are hard to educate in Missionary work if they lack interest themselves. If each member would show a little more en- thusiasm in Missions we would have more hope of gaining new members. Miss Madge Saunders, a native of Jamaica, gave us a very interesting and informative talk about her home- land. Miss Saunders is the first Ja- maican girl to be trained to teach the youth of her country. She took her training under the Presbyterian Church in Scotland; the Womens' Guild raising the funds to send her. She described her land, the 1% mil- lion people, and stressed the great need for more teachers. Dozens of young people. like herself would like 'to join in this worthy endeavour but the - people cannot afford to train them. She told of travelling in the different parishes, organizing groups of girls, ete., If voluntary work is to go on, they must have local leadership. Worship Service followed, by the Brooklin Afternoon and Evening Aux- iliaries. The noon dinner served by the Port Perry W.M. S. members was the object of many sincere compliments by the visitors. Afternoon Worship Service was conducted by the Ajax affiliated So- ciety. The Address by Mrs. C. Loveys -- Home Missions and Execu- tive Secretary, was the highlight of the afternoon' session. Mrs. Loveys said, "The study of the New Cana- dian- is a challenge to us all. The Friendship Secretary has much to do, amongst these people; they come to this' ¢ountry with high hopes, and a new outlook. Let us not disappoint them. Friendship means a great deal to anyone in a' strange land, We must give them security as well, because they are timid and meek. She stress- ed the need for more missionaries-- we have not sufficient to handle our 'fieldg--one is doing the work of two. TWe, who have so much, do not realize the need in the Mission fields. The story is not a new one, but more ur- gent than ever, She mentioned Yosri at Noriiny House (Northern Manitoba) recently, and seeing the new school built by the United Church of Canada; also travel- ling part way by plane, part way by boat, to the isolated Mission field at Qucen Charlotte Island. Mrs. Loveys concluded by saying, we are far too complacent--when are wo -going to take a keener interest in this very necessary work, Miss Barbara Love, who attended School for Leaders, at Whitby Ladies College for five days--a delegate for the Western Section of the W.M.S. spoke on "Impressions -of School for Leaders". Summing up Barbara's speech--she said: Full Christian Service, is not a sacrifice, but an opportunity. Let us put ourselves in the place of the im- migrant--We must be true friends to these people--a good will gesture--a real hand shake means a lot to them. Mrs, with a lovely solo entitled "Higher Ground" accompanied by Mrs, Dobson at the organ. The 1966 Fall Rally will be held at Ajax. Mrs. Love closed the meeting with Benediction. ------------ Church Service REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE on SUNDAY, NOV. 6th at 2.30' pm. in Church of the Ascension.
