CIN] HAL ST i Thea Res i THE PORT PERRY S Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa PORT PERRY, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 23rd, 1960 $2.00 Per Year, Single Copy 65¢ IPs Already Started Yes, work on the Causeway Project has already started! Although there may have been some among us who were sceptical that anything would be done for many months to come, the work has actually commenced on this gigantic undertaking, Peacock and McQuigge, the Toronto company who have secured the con- tract, have been busy moving men and equipment into the area and much more is due.to arrive very soon. We have been informed that work is al- ready in progress at Vine's corner, where a new curve 'is to be built eli- minating that bad corner. - Many stories have come to us re- garding what may be expected to 'happen. Here are some of the.things we have heard-- A vast amount of gravel and earth will be required to raise the road bed and fill in the swampy areas. Some say the large hill near the east causeway will all come down to provide the necessary "fill". One hears that the grade up the island hill (past Fulford's house) will be starrted about the middle of the lake. Further stories have reach- ed us that first one causeway and then the other will be closed to traffic for about six months. Yet contradicting this is a report that west causeway will be completed in six weeks. Frankly we don't know exaétly what the future will bring, but it is quite obvious that the whole under- taking is an engineering feat quite beyond anything possible in 1987 when the idea was a major issue be- fore the public At those public meet- ings held about 1936 and 19387 when the "good road" was first promised to us, I am sure the people there had very little if any real conception of what the future held. Machinery and equipment of that day would hardly have been capable of achieving the results that we hear are expected in the next two years. (Men on the job believe that it will be about two years before the task is completed.) The plans for the road have been made and the men are already started on the job. Other plans are being made to feed and house the workers, engineers, surveyors, etc. who will come with the contractors. Local men are exploring the possibility of obtaining work on the project. People with rooms to rent are hoping for tenants. Arrangement will be made for schooling for families who come with the workers. No doubt we will see these people in our churches and Sunday Schools, on the streets and in the stores. Whatever the events of the future let us all remember that these people are here at our insistence; they are working on a project which has been dear to our hearts for many years; let it not be said of any of us that we failed to co-operaate! ums PPort Perry Series from Havelock On Wednesday Aug. 24th Port Per. | ry Juniors took the second game of a 2 out of 2 series from Havelock in the Central Ontario O.

The injured man was Christos Oshawa Heffering's Imperials ad: vanced to second round of OASA In- termediate "A" play-offs, when they scored two runs in the 9th inning, after two were out, and then went on to score a 4-3 victory over Port Perry Merchants last Thursday night in Pt. Perry. The come-from-behind victory gave Imperials the series in two straight games. Murray Woods went the distance for Port Perry and actually deserved a better fate, as his pitching record was better than his rival's. Woods fanned 10 batters and gave up just seven hits. Imperials scored their first two runs in the opening frame, after there were two out. B. Simcoe was safe on the shortstop's error, then Sarnovsky doubled and Maeson lifted one into short left field which Edgar couldn't quite handle--and both Simcoe and Sarnovsky scored. Imperials picked up only five widely scattered hits after that. They got their other two runs, to win the game, in the 9th inning and again they started after there were two out. Jack Shearer homered with 2 out to tie the -seore. The Port Perry team had every- thing "go wrong" for them after that. Reg. Hickey was hit by a pitched ball, to reach first base. He set out for second-base when Woods had a wild | pitch. Catcher Cornish threw to 2nd, when he got hold of the ball. The i throw was too low and the ball car- omed off Owen's leg, out into rigght- field and Shearer kept on running, to Port Perry Merchanis Lose Second Game of OASA Playoffs in 9th Inning John Masiewich started on the mound for Imperials. He was tagged for two runs in each of the 2nd, 8rd and 4th innings, but only one run was scored. That one was by Edgar, who singled to open the 8rd inning, ad- vanced on Warriner's sacrifice bunt and scored on a two-bagger by Cor- nish. Port Perry tied the score at 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth. Warriner opened the inning with a walk and Cornish was safe on an infield bobble. Cochrane forced Cornish at second base and Warriner scored on the play. Port Perry Merchants went out in front in the bottom of the sixth in- ning. Venning singled with one out, took second on a wild pitch and scored on a long single by Woods. Jones relieved Masiewich at this point and fanned the next two batters. He gave up a single to Cochrane and a walk to Owen in the 7th, but Port Perry never scored again, Cochrane advanced on a pass ball and on the throw to 2nd base, collided with O'Reilly, who had taken the throw and was making "the tag" on the baseline. The ball was dropped and a brief skirmish followed, which resulted in O'Reilly being thumbed out of the game, for fighting. Cornish got on base in the '9th for Port Perry but he was on third base with two out, when Owen was called out on strikes, to end the game. Venning and Cochrane, with two hits a piece, were Port Perry's best at the plate while Sarnovsky and Hickey each had a pair for Heffering's. Both score the winning run, teams collected seven hits.
