Ts A ~, Aa THE PORT PERRY STAR SERVING PORT PERRY, BROOKLIN and SURROUNDING AREAS "Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Dept. Ottawa, for payment of postage in cash" PORT PERRY, ONT., THURS., FEBRUARY 21st, 1963 $2.60 Per Year, Single Copy 7¢ Hon. J. Keiller MacKay Piped in as Guest Speaker ~ at Masonic Ladies Night On Saturday evening, last, Port Perry was honoured by a visit of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario when the Honourable J. Keiller Mackay, D.S.0,, V.D.,, LL.D. was the guest speaker at the Fidelity Lodge Ladies Night. Every chair possible in the spacious banquet hall of the Masonic Temple was occupied on this momen- tuous occasion in spite of the fact that several other entertainments had been planned for the same night. (Not since 1935 when the Hon, Herbert A. Bruce officially opened the War Me- morial Library has Port Perry been honoured by the public appearance of the Lieutenant Governor). Miss Rosemary Nodwell in her Scottish plaids piped in the head table guests. The guest of honour was accomp- anied by his lovely wife, Mrs. Mackay, Lieutenant Commander Peter Wilch aide de camp to the Lieut. Governor, and Mrs. Wileh, the officers of Fi- delity Lodge and their wives, repre- sentatives of Grand Lodge, Reeve J. J. Gibson and Mrs. Gibson. A fine banquet was prepared by the women of the Eastern Star. During the repast 8 number of toasts were made by members of Fidelity Lodge and appropriately answered. The Sportsman Quartet of the Oshawa Chapter of S.P.E.B.Q.S.A. (Barber Shoppers) entertained most pleasing- ly with several selections. The Hon. M. B. Dymond, M.D. Minister of Health for Ontario and member of Parliament for this riding, introduced the speaker. He referred to the long and capable service of the Hon. Keiller Mackay, first as a scho- lar, then as a soldier, later a jurist and now as the representative of Her Majesty in Ontario. As the Lieutenant Governor rose to speak he was given a standing ova- tion by the assembly who then gave close attention to his impressive and interesting address. He spoke of the fine traditions and principles of Free Masonry and liken- ed them to the traditions and princi- ples of Canada. He drew attention to our great natural resources and our promise for future greatness. Before closing he gave a special message to the young folk of our community, urg- ing them to strive for the greatest use of their abilities. United Church Choir Hold Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Port Perry United Church Choir was held in the basement of the Church, recent- ly. Under the capable leadership of the musical director, Mrs. Frank Hastings and the organist, Miss Gloria Hastings, the Choir has had a very successful year. In May of 1962 the Choir competed in the Musical Festival which was held in Ajax, placing third in the competition for Church Choirs. As the choir is on a well organized basis, having an executive to manage the business, they quite often deviate from their musical talents to enjoy a bit of socializing. A trip by the whole Choir was made to the O'Keefo Centre to sce "Carousel", In Sept- ember a "Bowling Night" was held in the Port Perry Bowling Lanes. Per- Laps, one of the pleasantest aspects of such events is the friendly and easy way both the senior and junior members of this group have of mix- ing and enjoying one aonther's com- pany. The Choir aceepted the cordial invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bourgeois to enjoy an evening's skat. ing on their outdoor skating rink and the event was quite successful and entertaining. Little Miss Gail Butt, who cele: brated her sécond birthday this month is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Butt, Whitby and grand daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Butt, Seagrave, R.R. 2, and Mr, and Mrs. Brash of the Gaspe Peninsula, dN A etn ee or re PER SESE On invitation last October the Choir sang at the Claremont United Church. The members of the Choir enjoy and look forward to such invitations, both through their enjoyment of good music and the associating with other congregations. As a few of you will remember, se- veral years ago this Choir made a long playing record of sacred music, which was put on sale for the public. Tapes have been made of select Christmas anthems which the Choir used in their annual Christmas Vesper Service in December. This service containing both traditional and the more modern Christmas anthems was performed with great success, with approximately one hundred voices from the Senior and Junior Choirs participating. The narrator was Mr. Danny Reesor and among the soloists were\Miss Diane Hall, Messrs. Char- lie Hastings, Kenneth Hallett and George\ Mahaffy. } Mrs. Frank Godley entertained the choir at her home, enabling all to hear these tapes. A record of this event is now being cut and should soon be available to those interested. Seeming to have no end to its en- ergy and vitality the Choir is now, Second Youngest Holstein Master Breeder T. Robert (Bob) Flett, of Oshawa, at thirty-six years of age is the sec- ond youngest Master Breeder amongst the 103 recipients of this award since it was introduced by the Holstein- Friesinn Association of Canada in 1930. The youngest was Hugh W. Ormiston, of Brooklin, Ontario, who received his shield six years ago at the age of thirty-four. The presentation was made to Bob Flett at the Annual Meeting of the Holstein-Friesian Association of Can- ada held February 13th in Toronto by Professor George E. Raithby of the Ontario "Agricultural College, Guelph. "Start with the best available foun dation cows and then concentrate on building good cow families from those that prove out" was the advice offered by Bob to other young men who would like to emulate his feat of building a Master Breeder's herd. He has done this himself in the short span of thirteen years. Bob started out' with seven foundation females in the Fall of 1949. Two of these ori ginal cows made honor list records. Production has been stressed at Bob's Flettdale Farm, seven of his cows having qualified for certificates of longtime production presented by the Holstein-Friesion Association, and a number of records nbove 19,000 lbs. of milk have been completed. Bob has also been interested in the shows and was Premier Breeder at the Ontario County Black & White day held at Port Perry in 1969. Two of his cows have been nominated for All-Canadian consideration and he has had five first prize winners at the East-Central Ontario Championship Holstein show at Peterboro, To qualify as a Master Breeder, Bob Flett bred, in a herd averaging under 50 head in size, a total of two Excellent bulls, six Very Good bulls, two Excellent cows, eleven Very Good cows, and twenty-one Good Plus cows, the females all meeting the high Mas- ter Breeder requirements.
