Gerrow Picnic Held At Poplar Park On Sunday afternoon, June 21st some 85 members of the Gerrow Clan met together for the 33rd annual Gerrow Picnic. The weather was perfect and cars started to arrive around 2 o'clock, so the children had plenty of time to enjoy the pool while others had brought fold- ing chairs so were able to move from one group to the other and enjoy a real visit. At 6 o'clock everybody set the table with their picnic lunch, but a look at the table made one think it was a planned banquet, there was so much food which was enjoyed by everybody. While we were still at the table Grant Gerrow, Port Perry, President for 1964 spoke ex- pressing how pleased he was to see everybody at the picnic and and hoped they were enjoying themselves. He then called on Maunsel Gerrow, Oshawa to discuss the family tree booklet which Maunsel has been work- ing on in the past. The youngest member pre- sent was Cathy Heutis, 4 month old daughter of Karen and Bill Heutis, great grandaughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Fralick, Scu- gog; the eldest lady was Mrs. Wright Crozier, now of Port Perry, formerly of Manchester, while Mr. C, L. Fralick, Scugog was the eldest gentleman. The new slate of officers was brought in for 1965 with Mrs. Alf. Prentice of Port Perry as president. Grant on behalf of Mrs. Prentice hoped everybody would return next year and bring more relatives with them. A few games then took place for the children with some adults joining in. This was the climax of a lovely afternoon as everybody started to leave for home around 8.30 o'clock. Ist Port Perry Cub Pack Have Week-End Camp On Friday evening, June 19th there was a great deal of ex- citement at the scout hall, where the boys assembled to go camping at Emily Provincial Park, Omemee where the group PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, JUNE 25th, 1964 -- 18 arrived at 8 o'clock.

Contests of various kinds were conducted and prizes giv- en out to the ladies with the highest scores.

Letter To Editor Port Perry, Ont, June 19th, 1964 To the Editor, Port Perry Star, Port Perry, Ont. Dear Sir: On Thursday, June 18th, my family and I attended the Red Cross Blood Donor's Clinic at Uxbridge. During the half- hour or so it took to extract the life-sustaining blood dona- tion, I happened to enquire why no Clnic has ever been estab- lished in Port Perry. The Red Cross nurse who was swabbing my arm, looked be- wildered and asked: "Port Perry? Where is that?" Thinking she was joking, I turned to the doctor in charge, but SHE also looked bewildered and said: "Port Perry? How big a place is it, and where is it?" Do you not think, Mr. Editor, that with our various service clubs, Chamber of Commerce, ete.,, that the people of Port Perry should be given the op- portunity of contributing to a national need such as the Blood Bank? Many would-be donors have no way of getting to Ux- bridge. If they could wander down-town to a Clinic right here in Port Perry, the Blood Bank would be filled with some of the best in the land! Yours very truly, Rifle Thieves Threaten Man In Columbus COLUMBUS -- The threat of violence arose again here Mon- day in this quiet hamlet which was rocked by a gun-shooting, fire-raising rampage Friday. A local resident claimed he was threatened with his own rifle at his home Monday night by two youths who later fled with the weapon. Edward Hermington told the Ontario Police that the two youths came to his home and later an argument developed. His daughter-in-law brought the rifle out to where he was argu- ing with the two boys and af- ter a scuffle the weapon was wrenched from his grasp. Mr. Hermington told police that he was threatened by the boys who then drove away in the direction of Oshawa. Tha incident is being investigated by Constable David Kernahan of the OPP Whitby Detachment. Mr. Hermington refused to comment on the incident when contacted.
