Dayliner Will Continue Present Service Word has been received by the Star today that the C.P.R. " Dayliner which travels from Peterboro to Toronto will not be discontinued on October 25. An official public notice states, according to the Station Master at Myrtle Sation, that "until further notice" the daily run will be in operation. This train service has receiv- ed much publicity, both in the newspapers and on T.V. Com- muters to the City of Toronto have protested strongly against the discontinuance of the line, but the C.P.R. has maintained that it is uneconomical for the Company to continue. Recent news - casts have shown the morning train fully occupied, but on the return trip to Peter- borough the railway coaches are empty. Residents of Myrtle, Locust Hill, Agincourt, ete. who are dependent on getting to "their jobs in Toronto will welcome the postponement of the Oct. 25th cut-off date. As far as Port Perry and area is concerned, there are not many people using this train service, but when they want to| go by train to Toronto, the lo- cal taxi-cab owners are usually called to make the trip from Port Perry to the station at Myrtle. This, too, would result in loss of business to Port Perry cab owners. Benefit Dance This Saturday Residents of Port Perry and surrounding area will congre- gate on Saturday evening at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Bay Street, to dance and dine at the social évening arranged by the Chamber fo Commerce for the benefit of the Figure Skating Fund. There are still a few tickets available (as at time of going to press), and any Director of the Chamber of Commerce will gladly oblige. The proceeds from this function will help provide money needed for Anna Forder and Richard Stephens' participation in the Canadian Figure Skating Championship in Calgary, Alberta. The townsfolk of 'Port Perry and neighborhood no doubt will welcome this opportunity to show their pride and hopeful anticipation that Anna and Ri- chard will succeed in their bid to bring "home top honours from the Championships to be held in Calgary. igures released recently by Port Perry's Clerk-Treasurer John Raines show an increase in population of 8. This brings the total to 2361 as against 2353 last year. As may be seen from the age groups below, it is once again the age one to three year-olds who account for a decrease of 12. To of¥set this, at the other end:of the grouping, the age 70 years and over are up 14 over 1963. This tabulation offers proof that people are living to the so-called "ripe old age" in Port Perry Village. Last year at this time the age 1 to 3 group was also down 12; the 4-9 group was down 6 (this year it is down 37)! CENSUS TAKEN IN 1963 Age Age Age Age Age Age 70 Total 1-3 4-9 10-19 20-59 60-69 & over All Ages 186 306 431 1053 189 189 2353 CENSUS TAKEN IN 1964 173 269 473 1069 174 203 2361 It is also interesting to note that the teen-age group has increased steadily over the past two years. In 1961 the figure on the 10 to 19 years was 426. Today it is 473--an increase of about 24 each year. Assessments of land and businesses combined is increased by over $116,000. Below is a schedule showing the breakdown and totals of assessment for 1964 as compared with 1963. Land assessment of $51,223. has been transferred to business assess- ment this year, hence the decerased figure from 1963. ASSESSMENT--Land, Buildings and Business Year Land Bldgs.

This leaves a net increase of $16,620 'on 'all other lands.
