ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR when parents and teachers should impress upon the children the need to keep of f the lawns. All winter long children have been taking short cuts across lawns and gardens, but now that the time of growing things has come they can do a great deal of harm with their carelessness. --X-- OVERHEATED OIL STOVE at the home of James Irwin, Lilla Street, necessitated the fire brigade to smother the blaze. The call came at noon hour on Wednesday last. Faul- ty mechanism was blamed for the trouble. . . . . Which reminds us that one should exercise more than the usual amount of vigilance at this time of year as stoves, furnaces and chim- neys which have received hard usage during the winter cold, sometime act up at this time of year. This is es- pecially true of oil heaters which are turned low for the warmer days, and of chimneys which are now some- what blocked by the accumulation of soot. --X-- WINNER of IGA FOOD VOUCHER was Ben Smith of Prince Albert, Beare Motors Limited conduct this lucky draw each week. The lucky number ticket is pulled on Saturday afternoon, Holstein Club Tour Successful Event On Saturday, March 23rd, the Ont. County Holstein Club held its annual tour of breeders' farms in Ontario County. There was a splendid turn- out, with over 100 Holstein Breeders and their friends taking part. The tour started at 11.00 a.m. with a visit to the farm of Mr. William Stone, Blackwater. The second visit was to the farm of Mr. George Mec- Laughlin, Beaverton, the third and final visit of the day was to the farm of Mr. Irvine Fisher, Woodville. These are very fine Holstein herds, with a high record of milk production and splendid conformation. Repre- sentatives from these herds have done well in the show ring at the Port Perry Black and White Show, the Peterborough Championship Show and the Royal 'Agricultural Winter Fair. Each of these herds also has many individual animals that have scored high in milk production. Mr. R. J. Smith, President of the Ontario County Holstein Club, and Mr. H. L. Fair, Agricultural Repre. sentative, were in charge of the tour. The Senior Citizens Club mel in the Municipal Building on Wednes- day, March 27th with approximately forty members present. The vice- president Mrs, Mabel. Chapman, chaired the meeting. During the business session, re- ports were received from the Build- ing Committee. After lengthy dis- cussions, it was unanimously decided to rent the old Legion Hall, which is just behind the Post Office, on a two year lease. The refreshment committee for tho past month was Mrs. Mabel Chapman, Mrs. Alfred Prentice, Mrs. Orval Stone, Mrs. Wm. Moase and Mrs. Bert Cliff. The committee in charge of the Euchre Party held in the Ca- tholic Church, March 23rd, reported it as a huge success. Seventeen tables were filled and the net pro. ceeds realized $30.50.

PORT PERRY, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 4th, 1968 $2.50 Per Year, Bingle Copy 7¢ This is the season of the year when the urge to clear away the accumula- tion of winter rubbish becomes very wonderful idea, truly! We pet out in the balmy spring air, we rake and serub, we paint and var- strong. A nih, we throw out old picture frames, old shoes, any of dozens of things t' at looked too good to di-card back in the dark days of winter. What will we do with this great heap of rubbish? The first thought seems to be to burn it. It is the quickest and easiest wav. But is it safe to set that fire? If you really can't take vour rub- bih to the dump and mu-t burn it certain safeguards should he taken. (1) Do not leave the burning of rubbish in the hands of the young folk! (2) Be sure that your tablish pile is in a safe place, on bare vround a good distance from fene. beds or anything that can burn (3) Be sure that therc io no wind, or very little breeze blowing in a <ufe direction, Remember that the fire will create its own wind once it is going. FIRE MANNERS Getting back to the problem of fires, which are so frequent at this time. of year, we might remind our readers that even this situation ealls for good manners. Herve ave some points you might keep in mind: (1) When you call in a fire alarm, stay on the phone until you are sure that the person taboo the call knows exactly where the fire is located. The fire truck can't <mell out a fire like a blood hound. (2) DON'T call the fire number, on the home number of any of the fire brigade just to find out where the fire is. One member of the brigade i= busy calling cach fireman on the phone to make sure that he has heard the siren and that he knows where the fire is. [If vou call at that time you will prevent some fireman from receiving this information and so de- lay them in their duty. If you are seriously concerned about your home or place of busi- ness, (and are not there) wait b or 6 minutes before calling... BUT DO NOT CALL JUST FROM CURIO- SITY! You will learn in good time about the fire from other sources. (3) Of course cveryone knows enough to stay away from the firehall and fire truck at this time. Some, however, scem to lack the self disci- 'pline to keep away even though they know they are being a nuisance. (4) It is also very important not to block the roads in the area near the fire. [Fire Trucks don't fly, and water MUST be transported to the immediate vicinity of the blaze if it ic to be effective in controlling the (4) Keep the fire small. If you have a great heap it is best to divide it, lighting only one pile, then add a little at a time from the reserve pile, as it is consumed. (h) Keep water or sacks, rakes or old brooms at hand to prevent the spread of the fire. (6) Never leave a fire. The wind may change direction and you may return to find a blaze you can't con- trol. (7) Please be sure that your child is not carrying matches or anything that can start a grass fire while he is out playing. Best of all take your Rubbish to the Dump. LAST YEAR OUR FIRE BRI- GADE, along with nearly every other fire brigade in southern Ontario, worked around the clock on Good Fri- day, to control grass fires that were started by folk who were not pre- pared to keep them under control. Men were injured and valuable pro- perty lost because of the thoughtless acts of both adults and children, LET'S BE VERY CAREFUL THAT I'T DOES NOT HAPPEN.AGAIN. Learn your fire manners fire. YOU would want others to follow these rules if it was YOUR home that was burning! GRASS FIRE at noon on Sunday threatened to get out of hand. 'The fire brigade were called to the home of Clem Jeffrey, Lilla St. N., when the blaze got too close to the fences and garage. Hillton Herald Wednesday, March 17th, Miss Parker's grade 12 Home Econom- ics class went to Oshawa to visit the "Governor Mansions" apart- ment buildings. The two apart- ments were furnished for display purposes in a most attractive man- ner by Betty Haydl. The class was very impressed and enjoyed touring the exquisite apartments. The following friday night a dance 'Flunkers Frolic' was held in the gym. It was sponsored by the Athletic Societies. These soc- ieties have devoted their time to ensure the success of the past two dances and deserve a great deal of credit. On Monday, March 25th, the Grade Nine Agriculture Class, un- der the supervision of Mr. Buck- ner, took a short trip to Scugog Island to the farm of Mr. Stitch- man. The boys were demonstrated the various layouts of Bunk Feed- ing including silo feeding auto- mation. A Memorial Hospital Uses 9 p.c. Less Space With Microfilms The Port Perry Community Mem- orial Hospital has eliminated the ever increasing problem of providing fil- ing cabinets, folders and space, for the storage of Medical Records for many years to come, by using miero- film, Microfilm is a system of photo- graphy, whereby records are reduced in size and recorded on 16 mm film. The advantages microfilm provides are the savings of 98% of space, maximum security, fast effiicent re- ference and a working medium for duplication. Did you realize, during your last visit at the hospital, that you created what is referred to as a Medical Chart, which is comprised of at least ten sheets of paper, and in somo cases, has been known to run to 100 sheets? The hospftals keep your re cord on file, in the event you are ever admitted again. However, they also keep similar data on several thousands of other people, and these multiplied by several years amounts to a considerable quantity of paper, which require file folders, filing cab inets and floor space to store them . . . . a costly and valuable item to hos- pitals. Realizing that there could be no end to this probleni, the Hospital Bd., Mrs. Hook, Superintendent, and Mrs. Watson, Secretary, decided to do something about it. They contacted the Standard Microfilming Co. Ltd, of Toronto, and found that microfilm- ing would provide all the. facilities required, at a more economical cost, as compared to using the old method. Each patient's Medical Record is reduced and recorded on 16 mm film. The patient's filmed record is then put in a microfilm jacket, which is two shéets of 4 x 6 clear acetate, wel- ded together, forming 4 channels, to receive the 16 mm film., One jacket will hold over 60 sheets of paper. A visible index is attached and the mi- crofilm jacket, with the microfilm, is placed in a microfilm reader which enlarges any document back to it's original size, hy projecting it onto a tinted glass screen, built into the mi- crofilm reader, where it can be easily read or reviewed by the Doctor. With this microfilm medical record system in effect, the Port Perry Com. munity Memorial Hospital can pro- vide a better, more efficient service to both doctors and patients at a re- duced operating cost, Don't Take Chances! GRASSIFIRE SEASON CAN BE DANGEROUS LETTER TO THE EDITOR-- Election Called Fight For Freedom Editor, Sir: Let us wake up, fellow Canadians! The present election is not just an election, but rather a fight for our survival or defeat as a free Canadian nation. You say "It can't happen here!" It is happening here. The enemy has been very busy play- ing on the emotions of the people and trying to split up our great country, by using mob psychology. They have been very busy institgating hatred between groups and nations and undermining all authority; also infiltrating our education and our youth groups. This enemy is like eancer--reach- ing, creeping into every phase of our society, often unnoticed. Those are the tactics of Communism, no matter what face it chooses to wear. They will back, and use, any group which they think will accomp- lish their aim. That nim is to enslave the whole human race body, mind and soul. Only God Himself, our Creator, has that right to own us body, mind and soul and He gives us a free will to choose for ourselves, What can we do about it? First, we must sincerely strive to live a true Christian life every day, and in everything we do. We must also remember that the distinguishing characteristics of our free form of povernment are human dignity, economic freedom and indi- vidual responsibility. Therefore, our Canadian nation ean only be as strong as we, its citizens, choose to streng- then our character. If we desire a better world to live in we must realize that this can only be brought about through our own self-improvement. True peace ean only be attained through our own hearts and our own efforts. Therefore let ns not be afraid or ashamed to pray and to ask God for guidance and courage. I repeat: this election is not only an clection but rather the fight for our survival as a free Canadian na' tion. Have we the courage and are we mature enough to make the neces- sary sacrifices to ensure a strong and | free Canadian nation for our future | generations ? Or will we, through | our own emotionnl selfishness, be an- other Cuba? | It 1 up to ua to decide . | A Canadian, MRS.

Amateur Softball's 41st Convention. Executive member Len Clark, 2nd Vice-President Jim Irvine and Secre- tary Vin Walker will represent Port Perry and Support the Amendments sent in by the local"associatlion. The first Amendment is to change the series in Midget, Bantam, Pee Wee and Squirt which are at present open Population into an A and B Series; A Series over 10,000 population, B Series under 10,000 pop. The second change would be to change the Bantam pitchers from an eleven inch ball to the twelve inch. Under the present set-up a boy mov- ing from Bantam to Midget has to change the size of ball as well as pit- ching from a greater distance; this being a hardship after pitching Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam with the same ball apd distance. The Third change was to change the Squirt age limit from 10 years to 11 years of age as of Jan. I. This am- mendment has also been submitted by the Scarboro Softball Association and is listed under their name, but the local delegates will certainly fight hard to put this one through after the fine showing put on by the local Squirts last season. The name of Vin Walker has been nominated to stand for O.A.S.A. Exe. cutive in an effort to give the Town of Port Perry a voice in Softhall. This will be the start of what the local men hope will he another big softball year and look forward to see- ing all boys in the Port Perry dist. rict out at the ball park and having the chance to play softball. The next Minor Softball Meeting will be held on Sunday, April 21st, 7.00 p.m. This will be an OPEN MEETING to all interested softball fans. ~ PORT PERRY Sth ANNUAL ICE REVUE - April 5 a TS a a Ne A SA Ra
