A considerable number of sewn ar- ticles were turned in at this meeting. Two or three months ago the amount of sewing to be done seemed quite for- midable, but thanks to the women of the community the shelves at the hos- pital are being well stocked with the needed supplies, and we sincerely thank the women of the various or- ganizations who are helping our hos- pital in such a down-to-earth manner, Preparations.for the Penny Draw are going on apace, and before long we hope to have the prizes on display. As most of you know this is our only money-making project for the summer months and we are dependent upon the public for the success of the draw. The tickets are very low in price-- twenty-five tickets for twenty-five cents--and the prizes will be both use- ful and attractive. : The following donations are ack- nowledged with sincere appreciation: Grace Church Community, Scugog win wersresnsranensnnsienes: $10.00 Maybelle Rebecca Lodge ...... 5.00 Honeydale Women's Institute...

In the past year or 80 they've shot holes in mail boxes. Last Sunday they almost de- molished ours. I understand mail boxes are government property. Its time the police got checking up on this road. Its a shame that some peo- ple can't leave other people's property alone.- We can not see our mail box from the house, so can not see what is going on, but I do hope the police will get to checking up, find out who the culprits are and put a stpp to this destruction. Yours truly, A reader. Mrs. M. B. Dymond graciously en- tertained the members of Scugog Chapter I.0.D.E. at a buffet luncheon prior to the May meeting. It was a happy social occasion for Scugog Chapter and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Mrs. W. T. Harris the presiding officer extended thanks and appreciation to the hostess on behalf of the members. During the business meeting which followed the luncheon, plans were made for May and June projects. A motion for a donation of $50.00 to the Women's Hospital Auxiliary was un- animously approved; also $25.00 to the Canadian Institute for the Blind, Mrs. Grant Christie presented an article describing the International Peace Garden on the boundry of Unit- ed States-and Canada at the Manitoba, North Dakota border. This garden is the dream come true of Dr, Henry Moore a Canadian agriculturist. 2,400 acres of land comprise this garden and on July 14/32 some 50,000 people gathered around a cairn built on the boundary line, Canadians and Ame- ricans stood together and with bowed heads recited the pledge which was in- scribed on a bronze plaque. Led by the Bishop of Brandon, they made this simple but moving vow: "To God,in His glory, we two na- tions dedicate this garden and pledge ourselves that as long as men shall live, we will not take up arms against one another." Many organizations have raised money for this project including the Imperial Order Daughters of the Em- pire (Scugog Chapter has made an annual coytribution for many years), Homemakers of America, Women's Institutes of Canada, General Federa- tion of Women's Clubs .of the U.S. and many more. > The International Peace Garden is a symbol of a noble ideal. Dedicated 'to a belief in the common decency of the human race, it stands a model of the co-operation and good will which two neighbouring peoples can display. Located almost at the - geographic heart of the continent, it is an ideal focus for the dedicated thoughts of the true idealists from both countries. The meeting was concluded by sing- ing the National Anthem and retiring of the Standard. To Dedicate a Tree At Park The Honeydale Branch of the Wo- men's Institute will dedicate a maple tree to commemorate the 60th anni- versary of the founding of the Insti- tute at a ceremony to be held in the Lakeside Park at 3 p.m. on Friday, May 17th.

The school was buzzing with activity in all corridors and rooms, The Port Perry High School Cadet Corps Band displayed their prowess, starting off the evening by playing several numbers in the gymnasium, A series of formations had been planned for the campus, but owing to ad- verse weather conditions the display was held in the gym.

Rate Per Call In Port Perry Soon To standardize all local calling from public and semi- public telephones throughout its territory in Quebec and Ontario, The Bell Telephone Com: pany of Canada plans to adopt a uni- form charge of 10 cents per call in Port Perry and all other communities where this rate does not now apply, J. W. Lowry, Bell Telephone manager for this territory, announced this week. The new rate is expected to become effective toward the end of June. Approval in principle of the 10- cent rate for local calls from all of Bell's public and semi-public tele- phones was given in November, 1951, by the Board of Transport Commis- sioners for Canada. However, be- cause of equipment shortages at that time, the Bell asked for the higher rate to be applied immediately only in the larger centred: With equipment now available' to modify the public telephones in the smaller centres also, the company decided to complete the application of the standard rate throughout its territory. Introduction of the uniform 10-cent rate for local calls would follow the approval of tariff revisions filed by the Bell company with the Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada. Conversion of public and semi-pub- lic coin boxes in the areas concerned now is under way. The date for in troducing the 10-cent local calling rate throughout these exchajige areas {has been set tentatively for June 29, 1967. | Rhymes which was a special arrange- ment by Dr, Leslie Bell.

Pat has her Gillwell Beads for years of "proficiency and Stuart has had 17 years cubbing ex- perience, Boy Scouts Last Saturday afternoon the Port Perry Scout Troop were guests of the Toronto Maple Leaf Ball Club at a ball game in Toronto between the Leafs and Columbus Jets. The damp cold weather was rather dissappointing but nevertheless we saw a very good ball game. Unfortunately the Leafs were beaten 5-3. After the ball game the Scouts drove to the Bo-Peep Res- taurant and had dinner, bringing to a close a very enjoyable afternoon. Our thanks to Mr. Fulford, Mr. S. Lane, Mr. I. Boyd and Mr. Ted Jack- son for providing transportation to Toronto. This week and next the Scouts will be calling on all the homes in Port Perry selling boxes of Occasional Cards. We hope to raise some money for our Summer Camp and also the troop would like to give some of the proceeds of this sale to our Troop Leader who is going to England to the World Jamboree. We know the citizens of our community will be glad to assist us in this matter. At the present time we have the largest Scout Troop ever in Port Perry. We have 31 boys on roll and an average attendance of 28 or 29. With the number of Cubs increasing each year, very soon we will be form- - ing a second Scout Troop. As can be seen more leaders will be needed and if anyone is interested in assisting either the Cubs or Scouts please con- tact any member of the Group Com- mittee. : } That's all the Scout News for this week, but next week we hope to have a complete story on the World Jam- boree.
