---- "NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION [ MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY 1 THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thursday, November 29th, 1962 ' Notes Most municipal councils are elected December 3. These yearly elections provide for a re- view of the administration during the past vear. They also provide the voter with an opportunity to express his opinion. It is amazing that so many of them feel that the vote is not worth the trouble of getting out to cast it. They have all kinds of alibis for not doing so. It does- n't matter who gets in they say. They say, what good js my vote. They say that the council never does anything anyway. They truthfully know that none of these is true. The truth of the matter is that people don't vote, or get out and vote as they should because they are unwilling to ac- cept any real responsibility as citizens for the right conduct of government, Because there is so much apathy with regard to municipal elections, municipal government is not as good as it could be. The Grey Cup The Grey Cup match is not just the culmination of the professional football schedule. It is much more. It is a kind of popular madness which given the oc- casion breaks out with an abandon that does justice to the orgies of ancient Greece or the debaucheries of the Roman decad- ence. In sound and fury and sheer spec- tacle it probably outdoes its ancient pro- totypes. Fortunately for the sake of property and human dignity--not to men- tion the safety of life and limb it is much and Comments Municipal Elections When those have the fact driven home that a goodly part of the community couldn't care less, there is inevitably . ing what it is . be somewhat careless, perhaps, a little lax in the administration of the affairs of the community.

These were features of a 'Pic - nic for Clothing Buyers" advertised by Brock's of Port Perry, Ont. The date of the sale was 1891. Rod Real, retired manager of Tor- onto General Trust, brought in to the Star - Phoenix a reprint of an 1891 sale advertisement provided by the present-day A. W.

To the present time 71 pairs have been given to babies. To these ladies the auxiilary is very grateful for their help in this project. A tea was held at home of our pre- sident Mrs. Dymond on May 12th to commemorate National Hospital Day. Our Auxiliary was very happy to have a Provincial Life Membership presented to Mrs. Dymond who is completing 10 years of service as President of this auxiliary. This oc- casion took place at the annual con- vention of the Ontario Hospital Auxi- liaries Association held recently in Toronto and a number of our ladies attended the presentation. In place of the usual summer draw, a bake sale was held and we are most grateful for the money donations from several organizations, The highlight of the year was the purchase of a electro-cardiograph ma- chine for the hospital, This is a valuable piece of equipment and we again are most grateful to all those who gave donations for this machine. Plants were placed In hospital at Easter for the patients and candy baskets for the children, Before our present year draws to a close, we have two money making pro- jects planned. On Nov. 28rd a 10th anniversary dance will be held in the HOSPITAL AUXILIARY Teun years ago, on November 23rd, 1962, the Women's Hospital Auxiliary for the Community Memorial Hospi- tal, Port Perry, was organized. Since that time, the members and friends of the Auxiliary have had a busy time--many times working with a few in number, always hoping that others will show an interest in our local Hos- pital and realize the many needs. Since the inception of Hospitalization, laundry, linens, etc. are covered by the per diem rate -- therefore the Auxiliary has been using their funds for capital expenditures, In the belief that few citizens really know what the Auxilihey is doing, and has done, over the past ten years --a resume of the Secre- taries' reports and the Treasurers' reports are to be found in this issue of the local paper. It is hoped that the citizens of the communities cov- ered by the Community Hospital of Port Perry will read and study these reports and know that the Auxiliary is an active and much needed organi. zation in your Community, During this period of time, the Auxiliary has had some very fine friends, and have recelved several most welcome contributions to assist them with their projects. To these people we extend our grateful thanks and hearty appreciation. Recelpts from contributions and pro- Jjeets have amounted to approximately $25,000.00 over the ten years. Following is an approximate ac- counting for the expenditure of these monies: -- Operating Room Equip....... $6,600.00 the requirements of the kitchen and Women's Institute Meeting (Continued from front page) the Royal Winter Fair, and a 4-H Leader's Luncheon held in the Cas- cade room of the Town and Country restaurant.

Le Re L] - a District Doings YORK COUNTY COUNCIL FAVORS LEGALIZED LOTTERIES York County Council gave over- whelming support last Friday to a re- solution endorsing legalized lotteries in Canada for hospital and other charitable purposes. The issue came up when North Gwillimbury Reeve Jos. Dale brought before council re- quests from Russell and Prescott that York County pass resolutions similar to one passed by them on this con- traversial subject. If the federal government should take action on the request which has now come from a number of counties, it would have to amend the Criminal Code, deleting the section making lot- teries illegal. When the vote was called on Friday afternoon, the show of hands was overwhelmingly in favour. OAKWOOD AREA SITE PICKED FOR FAME'S MILLION DOLLAR PLANT STOUFFVILLE LIONS SUGGEST AMBULANCE SERVICE FOR AREA A spokesman for a committee of the Stouffville Lions Club has ap- proached the Stouffville Council con- cerning the -advisability- of providing a 24-hour ambulance service to resi- dents of the village and the surround- ing area. Mr. Wm. Gillespie intro- duced the subject at a regular meeting of Council last Thursday night. He said that the vehicle, if approved by the Club, would be an out-right gift to the town but the Council would be expected to shoulder the cost of hir- ing qualified drivers, maintenance and storage. : UXBRIDGE ASKS FOR LIQUOR VOTE A petition containing over 400 sig- natures calling for a vote on legal outlets was received by council at special meeting on Sat. As a result, the following resolution was passed: ~ "That the Ontario Liquor License Board be requested to set a date for a plebescite vote in the Town of Ux- bridge, to vote on the following ques- tions pursuant to Sec. 72, Subsection ONT. COUNTY VOTES DOWN LEGALIZING OF LOTTERIES Ontario County Council voted 18-10 against the endorsation of a United Counties, Preston and Russell, resolu- tion calling for serious consideration by the federal government of the ad- visability of legalizing lotteries in Canada. RABIES PREVALENT IN CANNINGTON AREA The disease of Rabies is quite pre- valent in this area in wild animals, cattle, dogs and cats, and all owners are asked by the authorities to keep their pets under control at all times. It is known that quite a number of cases of rabies have been discovered in the area and all possible co-opera- tion is necessary if this disease is to be stamped out. : In Cannington a By-law was passed some time ago 'forbidding owners to allow their dogs to run at large, under the penalty of a $560.00 fine, exclusive of costs.
