Chamber of Commerce _At the Annual Meeting of the .| Chamber of Commerce held at the Fla- mingo Restaurant last Monday Night, President John Orde expressed on be- half of the Directors a sincere word of thanks to all of last year's members for their assistance and hoped that all would see fit to renew their mem- bership for 1961. In suming up the activities of the Chamber over the past year Mr. Orde and the Chairmen of the various com- mittees reporting, showed clearly that the Chamber had certainly attempted to 'promote Port Perry, not only as a residential and tourist area, but had endeavoured to secure Industry for Port Perry. There is no other or- ganization in Port Perry, except the Chamber of Commerce that is actively promoting at all times Port Perry, and what it has to offer to Industry, Tourists and residence. In 1961 the Board of Directors are concentrating on an enlarged active membership, especially in the Retail Merchant Section of the Chamber. Many problems face the merchants in the coming months and only through a strong membership can the Chamber hope to meet with any suc- cess in finding a solution to these problems. 1960 has been a good year for the Chamber of Commerce in. Port Perry and it is hoped the new Board of Di- rectors for 1961, can see a number of projects to their successful comple- tion. The Board of Directors elected at the Annual Meeting are as follows: J. Orde, 8. Beare, G. Emmerson, Dr. Price, H. Mahaffy, C. Williams, T. Griffen, R. J. Harper, G. Carnegie, J. Porter, G. MacDermott and R. Kenny.

"Call the Witness, Ice Review 4} The Figure Skating Club of Port Perry, have presented an evening of fine entertajnmeént in their Third Annual Ice Review on Friday of last week, The Club have produced some ex- cellent skaters during the past three years and can be very proud of the demonstration of their skills. The program started with the young set in "Toyland on Parade". While they do lack the polish of the older skaters they make up for it by their charming. naivete. All the young performers played their parts well and the colourful and cute cost- umes made a very interesting show, We can forsee several members of this junior section come along to be stars of future shows. Gertrude Desjardins and Maurice La France demonstrated a number of set figures, followed by a dance which included a beautifully smooth per- formance of these intricate and lovely figures, This young couple of the Toronto Cricket, Curling and Skating Club are members of Canada's Olym- pic team.

Oftentimes this has caused inconvenience and concern, not only to the patients and their families, but when hospitalization is necessary, our own Hospital loses patient days. This matter has been under discussion by members of the Medical Staff, the Local Board and the Women's Auxi- liary for many months, and it has been decided that a new X-Ray set-up is urgently required in our own Hos- pital. This is a Capital expenditure--to an amount of approximately $16,000.00. Unfortunately our, Hospital Board does not have a Capital Account suf- -,| ficient to cover thig expenditure. Jus€ ag a point of information--our Hos- pital was opened in January 1953, and since that time it has never been necessary to appeal to-the public for funds to cover operating costs. The Hospitalization Plan covers these costs, but does not enable a Board to increase the Capital Account -- the "Account from which monies must be found for Capital expenditures, The Women's Hospital Auxiliary-- always ready and anxious to give all assistance possible to our Hospital-- has. offered to sponsor this Fund Raising Campaign for new X-Ray equipment and has pledged their own support to a minimum amount of $7,600.00. X-Ray Equipment |. This is, as you will realize, a tre- mendous undertaking for the Auxili- ary, but they are confident every citi- zen of the community will give their fullest support and co-operation in this commendable undertaking. - The generous support of 'the various Councils in the community is greatly appreciated. Their contributions give a boost to the "kick-off" of the X- Ray Fund Raising Campaign.
