PORT { PERRY TAR Volume 100 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22nd, 1964 Number 5 Smash Windows, Smear Paint On Schools, Church In Area 5 Pictured above is Miss Audrey Kent, Port Perry, demon- strating her unique display of spinning wool at the second annual rug show held at the Masonic Temple last Saturday afternoon and evening. Miss Kent showed the procedure of the work right from the source by plucking angora wool from a live rabbit and spinning it. --Staff Photo Interesting Arts And Crafts Show Has Over 100 Exhibits On Display Over one hundred and sev- enty-five lovers of handicraft attended the second annual showing of handmade rugs, paintings and needlework which was held in the Masonic Temple Queen Street, last Saturday afternoon and evening. This unique display, which is getting bigger each year, was arranged by Mrs. Louise Pat- terson and her rug class. Some sixty different rugs and chair sets were exhibited and through the courtesy of Mrs. Irving Boyd and her art class there were forty oil paintings on dis- play. Quite a number of these ar- ticles, including the great dis- Awarded $600.

Continued on Page 5 60 Couples Af Benefit Dance 60 couples enjoyed the buffet and dance held by the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce on Saturday night. The dance, which was held for the benefit of Port Perry's young figure skating couple, Anna Forder and Richard -Ste« phens' participation in the Canadian Championship compe- tition in Calgary in February was a decided success. Present for the dance were also the skaters' parents Mr, & Mrs. H. R. Forder and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stephens, and on display were all the trophies and prizes the young couple has won during their skating career. ; The attendance at the dance was smaller than had been hoped for, but it is anticipated the - skating fund will have a boost of about $400.00. Considerable damage to win- dows and buildings in Prince Albert and at Prospect was dis- covered Sunday morning last. The United Church had white paint plastered over the door to the Sunday School, while the brickwork of Reach Central School No. 1 was also defaced. The damage to the School was apparently caused by glass jars of paint being thrown at the entrance to the building. Fortunately, the aim of the persons responsible was a little off, and instead of crashing through the large plate glass windows, the containers of paint landed against the glazed brick facing. At Prospect School, storm windows which had been clean- .ed prior to being installed on Monday morning and which were left stacked against the building were all smashed. The damage must have been done in the very early hours of Sunday morning, and the Pro- vincial Police are investigating. This work of vandalism can- not he blamed on Hallowe'en pranksters, since it was accom- plished a week too soon. Since Prince Albert and the rural school house at Prospect are considerably far apart, the assumption is that these hood- lums were travelling by car and responsible for the damage in both places. Taxpayers in Reach Town- ship deplore the behaviour of such irresponsible characters, and it can only be assumed that vicious vandalism such as this, without motive, is nothing more than rebellion against authority. Auto Hifs Deer Near Port Perry Donald Marshall, 85 Wayne street, Oshawa, was driving on County Road 2, near Port Perry, Thursday night when a deer jumped in front of his car. He slammed on the brakes but could not avoid hitting the animal. When he climbed out of the car he found the headlights and front grill smashed. Police were called and they searched for the deer but it -was no where to be found.

On Saturday, October 24th a dance and buffet dinner will be held at the Curling Rink to give the coming season a'good start, and all members are asked to participate.
