However, due to the co-opera- tion of Alex Johns, clerk-treas- urer of Reach Township and S. Chandler, clerk - treasurer of Scugog . Township figures from these two townships have been obtained. The increase is much greater in Scugog, than in Reach, but the. heavy influx of summer time residents. However these people are-also ratepayers and could also be in need of the hospital. The population of Scugog in 1953, (when hospital was built) was only .1,300, while it is now 3,000, or more than double. The increase in Reach during the same 13 year period was about 600, from 2,809 in 1953 up to 3,404 at the end of 1966. Adding these figures together plus the figures from Port Perry with an increase of 700, the total population increase is about - 3,000. 'A large number of Cartwright Township resi- dents. also occupy beds in the Port Perry Hospital. Hospital Report Week Ending December 17 Admissions .................. . 18 Operations ...............

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22nd, 1966 NUMBER 11 Whatever reason, whether it is lack of interest on part of the ratepayers of this commun- ity, or the fact that the meeting was held in the afternoon ra- ther than evening, the turnout for the advertised Information Meeting held by the Ontario Water Resources Commission was poorly attended. Considering the importance of the meeting, namely the pre- sentation of plans and reports of the engineers concerning a much talked about sewage sys- tem for Port Perry, the atten- dance of about 20 persons must be considered poor. However, thanks to the two engineers representing Cana dian Mitchell Associates Limit. ed, C. J. H. Kretch and J. A. J. Knox, who presented the plans and reported on the proposed project, the very few present enjoyed a very interesting af- ternoon. Chairing the meeting was J. H. H. Root, vice chairman of O.W:R.C., who in his opening remarks said he thought the proposal to be presented was quite satisfactory to Port Perry. He explained that the hear- ing was mandatory, and that it would give an opportunity to exchange views. - president of Canadian Mitchell Associates Limited gave a very thorough report, and explained the proposed se e system, pointing out the 'complete plan- ned construction on a large map. : The programme of construct- ing sewers in Port Perry will be divided into three phases: 1, 2A and 2B. : Phase 1 includes the sections of Port Perry with the greatest degree of ground and surface water pollution, and nuisance conditions created by inade- quate private sewage disposal 'systems. This will take in the business section, the heavy part of the residential district, and both Public and High Schools. This area represents approxi- mately 509, of the Village speedy recovery. By REV. H. M. BUNTAIN. BA, St. John's Presbyterian Church, Port Perry CHRISTMAS is almost here! h of expectancy, of wonder, of deep- population. A time J. A. J. Knox, P. Eng. and The sewerage system is de-| signed to utilize gravity flow to a single point, thereby elimin- ating need for- 'a secondary pumping station. on The flow from the street sewers will enter into a larger trunk sewer on Water Street, which leads to the Pumping Station located at the north end of the street. From here the sewage -will continue flowing, through what is called a Force- main and then enter into a Lagoon to be built on the farm of James Owen north of County Road No. 9, Lot 16 and 17, Con. 7, Reach Township. From here it goes through an Outlet - Channel through marsh land into the Nonquon River and eventually' into Lake Scugog. The lagoon is about 5 ft. deep and has a treatment efficiency of 809. : _ In a reply to a question, whe- ther the run off affluent would be hazardous for cattle in the area, Mr. Knox said he did not think cattle could be in that area. Present Interesting Plans And Reports In Regard To Proposed Sewerage System It was a strong feeling among the listeners that a larger area should be included in phase 1. Dr. G. M. Rennie was con- cerned about the fact that the new hospital site was not in- cluded in Phase 1, and when Mr. Knox said he did not think the hospital would be built be- fore the sewers, Dr. M. B. Dy- mond emphatically said: "I dis- agree with you, sir, the hospital will be built ahead!" Storey Beare said, "he would like to see both Phase 1 and 2A be built at the same time. You are going to have a town with half the people happy and half not happy." When the question came up on how much the cost would be for the construction of Phase 1, reeve Gibson quipped, 'About half a million, but you better say it fast!" . Councillor Bruce Beare asked whether another meeting would be necessary, and the answer was that the Ontario Municipal Board would also have to call a meeting at a later date. The annual meeting of the South Ontario Plowmen's Asso- ciation was held in the Town- ship Hall, Brooklin, on Thurs- day, December 15, with a good turnout of members. Mr. Jim Lee, President for 1966, was in charge of the meeting. Mr. Lee made reference to the splendid plowing match that was held last fall. He expressed his ap- preciation to the directors for their very fine co-operation, and to all those who assisted with the match. 'Mr. Lynn Fair, Agricultural 'Representative, conducted the election of officers which re- sulted as follows: Honorary President--Jim Lee, Greenbank; President -- Johy So many varicoloured lights of vari- ous shapes and designs bring so many | Batty, Brooklin; 1st Vice-Presi- moving ecstatic joy -- from the spark- Ing eyes of the little child, the majesty of the winter countryside in this nor- thern cilme, through the ilting music of the Christmas carols and hymns, to the reaization that unto us a Child is born, uno us a Son is given, Whose Name is Jesus, the Savour of our hu- man race!
