Mr. A. Crosier, 'Township of Reach 'Dear Mr, Crosier: "everyone for the inclusion of Allan Crosier, 1966 Deputy reeve of Reach Township, re- cently received the letter be- low PAS To clarify a much discussed situation in regard to names left off Voters Lists in the the Township, he asked to have the letter published in the Star. ¢ oo Deputy Reeve R.R. #2, Blackwater, Ontario In regard to your enquiry re- garding the leaving off 'of names on the Voters List-- Please let me state that this year we hired, as we did in the previous year, Mr. Roy Scott of Seagrave who was onetime your assessor. We believed that by hiring Mr, Scott who had some acquaintance with the area and citizens of Reach that we could have a better census done. We returhed the assessment roll making such changes as were necessary from the census tak- en. Your Clerk upon receipt of the roll and after the usual time for appeals advertised that a Court of Revision would be held, All persons who appealed wish- ing to have their names record- ed as new tenants or owners had their names placed upon the list by the Court of Revision. Subsequently a Voters List was prepared, this was posted and your Clerk by advertisement made notification of this fact telling the citizenry that if their names were omited that upon appeal they would be in- serted. It is our opinion that all things possible was done by this Department and it is regretable that any person was deprived of a vote. However, ample oppor- tunity we believe was given to their name, if by chance their name was not included or omit- ted. The law requires that the Assessor make an annual visit. We believe this visitatio CS) made and that after this visit is made should there be any transfers of property or a new tenancy established then the burden falls upon the person or persons affected to notify us. Trusting that this will clarify the situation, Yours very truly, G. D. Hepditeh, County Assessor. R. R. 2, Port Perry, December 29, 1965.) The Editor, "The Port Perry Star", Port Perry. - Dear Sir: I was interested to read in your issue of December 23 that three arrests have been made by Port Perry police in connection with local burglaries. In your report entitled "Police Charge Local Youths With Recent House Break-Ins", vou give the names and ages of the three boys charged; however, you fail to state precisely what they are charged with, and thereby you allow to ereep Into your report the unsavoury implication that these three may be responsible' for all break-ins in this area] within the last few weeks or months. Surely that impli- cation is unfair. Your conclusion, however, is not only unfair but irresponsi- ble: ". . . in the opinion of Chief | Cameron," you say, "Constable Roy ig doing an excellent job in bringing to justice these mis- Letter To The Editor your writing, had not had their guided adolescents who prowl by night and ransack private homes." Are you quoting Chief Cameron verbatim? If so, why are these comments not in quo- tation marks, and how can Mr. Cameron be sure that the per- sons responsible for any break- ins are adolescents? If you are not quoting Chief Cameron, then how can you be sure that the prowlers and ransackers are adolescents? Unhappily, you seemed to be referring directly to Rollo, Peterman and McGow- an, whose ages you have already given and who, at the time of preliminary hearing. Was it your intention not only to try but to convict these men on the front page of your news- paper? Sincerely, Wayland Drew. Burketon News Mr, and Mrs. A. J. Trick of Lindsay, former residents of the village who accompanied Mr. & Mrs, George Bowers of Nestle- ton for three weeks in Florida, have returned from their vaca- tion.

Dr. Jackson was influential in founding the "Baby Keep Well Clinie' in Vauxhall and was formerly assistant township school physician, He is a member of the Ameri- can Medical Association, the New Jersey State Medical As- sociation and the Essex County Medical Center. He and his wife, the former Genevieve Weyand of Newark, have one son, G. Stanley Jack- son of Sudbury, Mass., and two grandchildren. Mrs. Garreau decided that someone should pay tribute to him when she heard of his plans to retire, "He's the old-fashioned type of doctor", she said. "He'll come at night, and he'll sit with you all night long and hold your hand if you need him." She mentioned the project to a few friends and neighbors and soon it snowballed beyond any- thing she had expected. "Complete strangers came by," she said, to tell her that they also wanted to assist in any tribute to the physician. Many of them told her stories of times when Dr. Jackson had saved their lives or the lives of members of their families, she added. Mrs. Garreau began collect- ing signatures of these persons on a roll of shelf paper, "I kept the paper on the roll because I didn't know how long it would be,' she said. When the time came to make the gift presentation, she cut off the signatures and Dr, Jack- son received a card that was more than 40 inches long, Dr. and Mrs, Jackson wil] be taking up residence in Port Perry, about July 1 of this year, Dr. Jackson is a brother of Mar- guerite Brock, Patricia Love, Ted Jackson of Port Perry and Mrs. Simpson Rennie, of Mark- ham, Ont.
