THE PORT PERRY STAR z33TzX Au worized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa. * PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 7th, 1957 > BR 2.00 ber year. Special Meeting re Additional Tom Water Supply Minutes of a Special Meeting of Council of the Village of Port Perry held in the Municipal Office on Mon- day, February 25, 1957 at 7.30 p.m. PRESENT eve J. J. Gibson in the chair and Councillors A. T. Cox, I. A. Boyd, and F. Godley. Also Mr. Ted Sims, County Engin. eer and Messrs. Bryan Larmer and Mr, Galimbery of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, PURPOSE OF MEETING as Mr. Ted Sims explained that there is some doubt as to whether the Vill- age will be able to finance the pro- posed capital expenditure for an addi- tional water supply through ordinary channels and so it was decided to have the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission explain their system of fin- ancing such a project. Mr. Larmer explained that if the Water _ Expenditure is financed through the Water Resources Com- mission, it will not be considered as a debenture debt against the Village and so make future borrowing easier. He explained- further that an expen- diture of $80,000. could be financed for 20 yrs. at 59% with annual pay- ments of $6,465. It was also stated that if the O.W, R.C. finance the project then they must construct and operate, also set up a reserve account for repairs and contingencies. If interest rates get lower, then the balance of the ex- penditure can be re financed from time to time to take advantage of the lower rates. After hearing the O.W.R.C. explain their system, Council decided that * there is much to be gained by having them finance the waterworks expen- diture and so the following motion was passed. MOTION" - Ais That the Corporation of Port Perry request the O.W.R.C. to supply a draft agreement - with estimates of costs for annual repayment of an approxi- mate $100,000. for a period of 20 yrs.

Our Public School has noted this fact, but is not planning any par- ticular celebration. They do plan, hewever, to have a special Education Week of their own when the new class- rooms are ready for public inspection. Today, (Monday, March 4th), Mr. Cawker's Grade 7, have moved into the new wing and now all pupils are on regular hours, The children are still working under somewhat of a handicap, however, as the room is not finally finished, the the floor has not yet been tiled, there is work to be done on the cupboards and there is painting (t to do. Mrs. MacFarlane's class is still in the auditorium; but they are all back on regular hours and the pro- mise-of better conditions very soon is stimulating, As soon as conditions permit the school plans to have Parents' Night and Open House, and it is earnestly hoped that that time is not far dis- tant. By next September it is confidently expected that three of the new class- rooms will be in operation. Attendance is likely to be away -up,--already 60 names have been registered for the Kindergarten Class of 1957-58. The proper-education of our children may well be the most important factor in our continued existence as a de- mocracy and we know that parents will be keenly interested in our school.

Seed Show at Peterborough , When the Central Ontario Spring Show moves into the million dollar Me- morial Community Centre March 19- 21 they are enlarging the original ro- tary seed show of years ago with food demonstrations designed to interest the housewife and the producing far- mers, Not that the seed grains and veget- ables, particularly potatoes from the counties of Durham and Ontario, are being pushed off into a corner, but with expansive space at hand they will have a lot of attractive associates direct from the hands of the proces- sors, Canada Packers, Silverwoods Dairies Ltd.,, Quaker Oats Co., the Poultry Products Institute of Canada and other sources, For the special attraction of house- wives of city and country there will be demonstrations Tuesday and Wed- nesday afternoons, Mar. 19 and 20, that are classed as "ideas for spring meals", The consumer service of Silverwoods will present in the assem- bly room at the south end of the arena methods of preparing dairy foods for family menus. : That detail will be followed by "Do's and Don!t's with poultry products" demoiistihted by Dorothy Batcheller of home economics director of the Poultry Institute of Canada. This practical help in the daily rou- tine of making meals appetizing should be of interest to women from the city and district.

Bob' checked the | dr oil stove and found it 0.K., ticed that the smoke came from un- der the cellar door. Finding that the cellar door was hot he called the fire brigade. They responded promptly bringing their smoke masks into use they were able to locate the without letting in fresh air. The trouble 'was found to be under the stairs where children's wagons and tricycles were stored. Anti-freeze was also stored in this area and the cardboard cartons containing it were smoldering. The extinguishers were brought into play and the fire quickly controlled. The fire is believed to have started with spontaneous com- Fi bustion. source sp fo Se During this time someone became worried about Mrs Bateman, lives in-the apartment above the store. | he Ringing and knocking failed to rouse her, and calls were made to her friends without locating her. Mr. John Bal- lard who owns the building was called upon to open up the apartment when it was 'discovered that she was out. Fortunately so, for the rooms were filled with smoke and the furnishings were considerably blackened. Ho yo Two things played an important part in preventing this from becom- ing a serious blaze. The first was| po the quick observation of Mr. Sandi- land and 'the second the use of the smoke masks. These masks made it possible to search for the source of the smoke without first cleaving the air. Without the smoke masks much valuable time is lost in clearing the air and at the same time the blaze is being fanned into greater intensity. } ut ta su m 5 It is incidents such as this that make us realize the worth of our Volunteer I'ire Brigade!
