"The fire which started as the -result of a blow torch blowing up, quickly spread throughout the entire living quarters of the owners, Mr. -and Mrs. H. D. Santer. The Port Perry Fire Department were immediately called and upon arriving on the scene minutes later with two lire trucks, found that the fire had spread throughout most of the attic in the motel. Uxbridge Fire Department were immediately summoned for 'help and also .Brooklin. Uxbridge soon arrived on the scene and Brooklin sent a tank truck to supply water.

Education Cost 1966-68 In last week's issue of the Star, an announcement was published from the Central Ontario County District High School Board in regard to the 1968 mill rate 'and cost of secondary school education. Due to increased assessment the Board was able to hold the same mill rate as the previous year, but cost to the municipalities in the district have increased considerably. Below is an interesting schedule showing comparative figures for the last three years in regard to increases in education cost; and-in every instance the figures -are up and will mean higher mill rates for communities in the Central Ontario County District High School Board. The increase as far as the public school levy is concern- .ed will be even more demanding on the ratepayers, and there is no doubt an increase in the overall mill rate in Port Perry and surrounding communities will be consider- able this year.
