Two bus loads left Port Perry early Saturday morn- ing and arrived home in Port Perry late Sunday night after a most en- joyable experience. Under the cap- able supervision of the hostess, Mrs. Jessie Robertson, and her assistant, Mrs. Keith Mark, they journeyed a- long the scenic route, making stop- overs at Kingston and Brockville, having the chance to see the St. Law- rence Seaway, Upper.Canada Village and stopping near Cornwall for a 'de- lightful picnic luncheon. After cross- ing over the Bridge in to the United States, a stop-over was made at Ma- lone, N.Y., where several of the ladies went on a little shop sighting spree. The beauty of the Adirondack Moun- tain Trail was breathtaking with trees changing into autumn colours and the numerous lakes sparkling through the forests, the main points of in- terest were Saranac Lake and Tup- per Lake. They arrived at the final destination, Lake Placid in time for a bounteous supper at the Howard. Johnston Restaurant, and later stayed at the St. Moritz Hotel overnight. 'During the evening the folk went their separate ways. Sunday morning quite a number of the guests went to various places of worship, others took the scenic Boat trip round Lake Placid, while others motored to Santa's Village and some 1 took the trip up White Face Moun- | tain by the popular ski lift. The two bus loads left Lake Placid around two o'clock in the afternoon, homeward bound, travelling another trail through the mountains to Og- densburg, N.Y. where they crossed over at Prescott, Ontario. Tired but happy they arrived back about mid- night after spending a most enjoy- able and interesting week-end, mak- ing new friends and seeing such won- ders of nature too spectacular to find words to describe. A vote of thanks was extended to Notice fo Parents We are pleased with the progress being made on the oonstruction work on Queen Street. In due time we will [ have a main street of most attractive appearance. However right now it is ia MESS ,and what youngster is not attracted to a mess--dust or mud, con- fusion of men and machinery, huge tiles, big holes--all these are so in- teresting. The children are learning, of course but it could be a very dangerous les- son. A man operating a big shovel or a high dump truck has many things to look for connected with his job. He should not be expected to have to look for children, who may well be so short as to be completely hidden from his view The police, the school teachers and others are all trying to keep the young folk at a safe distance. Won't you as parents also do all that you can to keep them out of trouble. Plowing Match is ' Most Successful { The North Ontario Plowing Match was held on the farm of J. A.

Mr. Sanderson, a son of the late Joseph Sanderson and Elizabeth Hun- ter Sanderson was born at Cavan, in the County of Durham. At the age of 10 he came to Cartwright with his parents and has resided on the same 'farm, Lot 7, Concession 5, by the road which is now known as TA High- way ever since. Mr. Sanderson ob- tained his education at Blackstock and was a life long member of the Pres- byterian Church.

The pur- pose of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of securing Flood Lights for the present Ball Park at the Fair Grounds and possibly improve the playing diamond as well. Mr. Rody Foster, on behalf of the Port Perry Merchants Ball Club asked Mr. Roy Cornish to act as chairman for the public meeting.

Mr. Cornish expressed his pleasure at being asked to chair this meeting and gave a brief resume of the vari- ous sporting activities that have pros- pered in Port Perry and of the many championships won by Port Perry teams He hoped that the sports- minded citizens of Port Perry and District would get behind this drive to secure lights for the Ball Park, thus assuring us of many years of softball here in Port Perry. The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss the need of lights for the Diamond and if gll are agreeable, a committee should be found to fully look into the situation, the ways and means of raising the necessary funds The chairman then opened the meet- ing for discussion. Rody Foster, re- presenting the Merchants Ball Club, reported that lights would be neces- sary if his club was to continue in their present league. Much opposition had been ehcountered from other] teams in the league in regards to playing in Port Perry as to the early starting time. There is no other lea- gue in this area for this team to play in unless night games, under lights can be played. 'Dave Johnson, representing the Jr. Ball Club, said that pretty much the same situation faces his club and he hoped that this committee would be successful in securing lights. _ Norm Powell, representing the Bantams suggested that if lights were available for future use, no doubt a complete league would be operated for all ages similar to the hockey organ- ization. Mr. Ken Jackson, president of the Merchants reported that his team last year looked into the light situation. He also felt that other improvements should be considered at this time such as proper drainage, possibly new stands, ete., and that this committee should attempt to raise possibly $5,000 to $6,000. Rody Foster pointed out that the light system Ken referred to would be close to $4,000, complete. Chairman -- The mdin concern of this committee would be to secure lights and if further funds were raised improvements could be made. Elmer Lee--Question: Did anybody know what the cost would be for a lighting system that could be used for | Hard-Ball and Soft-Ball?, : Answer: R. Foster said main differ- ence being in the height of poles and more lights needed to cover the larger field. Cost in one town was $22,000. Ted Jackson--Question: Did anyone have any information regarding cost of operation and maintenance? Answer: B. Harper (1) Brooklin lights cost from $110-$125 per season (6 months), service charge extra. (2) Whitby $180-$200 per season. (3) Oshawa $310---Rentals to outside | teams for use of lights $5.00-$10 per ; game, Bruce Beare--Question: Are their any Gov't Grants available for this Answer: K., Jackson had contacted Dr. Dymond but did not know for sure, but did not think so. Bruce Beare--Question: After the lights are installed who would own them? Answer: A, Cox--The Fair Grounds belongs to the Village of Port Perry with a committee of four (2 from Council, 2 from Fair Board) responsible for it. The Village would own the lights. Dr. Price -- Question: (1) Do the Clubs now operating in Poit Perry Perry make any money? Answer: R. Foster--The Merchants have over the past 8'years been more or less self supporting, operating from gate receipts, donations, draws and their annual dance, R. Oke stated he felt sure, that with lights the attendance at games would increase, (2) Who would be responsible for themaintenance and cost of operation of the lights. Answer: R, Oke thought that the town Council would possibly appoint a board similar to the Arena Board, to operate their Fair Ground interests. Moved by N. Powell and Seconded by T. Griffen that we appoint a no- minating committee of 3 to retire now and present a slate of officers. These were R. Foster, T. Jackson and K. Jackson. Carried.
