Bill-Van Camp Page Boy Enjoys Life In Legislature Marie |: Bill Van Camp, 13 yr. old son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Van- Camp is a proud and happy boy these days. He may be missing out a great deal on other interests he pursues, such as hockey, other sports activities and the frolicking with his many friends. .The compensation for re- signing to these pleasures is something any one of 22 Ontario boys selected to act as page boys during the fall session of Ontario Legisla- ture. } To receive this honour, in- volves a lot more than just being a fine looking boy.

A report by Mr. W.H.J. Thompson, who conducted the Public Hearing here on Nov. 26 has been approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. For the benefit of the rate- payers in Port Perry, the Star is printing Mr. Thompson's report in full below: "Sufficient evidence was adduced at the hearing to indicate a need for the instal- lation of this work. Evidence adduced on behalf of the Ont- ario County = Health Unit indicated the presence of pollution arising . from the present method of sewage disposal, that is, septic tanks, and this was substantiated by the evidence of the consulting engineer retained by the Village of Port Perry in this matter. Indeed, no one in the large audience which attended the hearing contra- dicted this evidence -and in fact many - agreed with it. Therefore I find that there is a need for this work. Only two olffectors gave evidence at' the hearing and these persons resided outside of the municipality in an area in the vicinity of The Nonquon River in another municipality. It appears that sewage disposal utilizes a lagoon consisting of pools in which sewage settles for a considerable period of time before it is discharged to this river. The evidence of the consulting engineer stated that this discharge would only be about 10% polluted from its condition before it entered the lagoon and that because of the dilution capacity and flow of the river the latter would not become polluted by this discharge.

At first it was decided through the co-operation not to publish at all, but of the staff, -publication' will be 'issued at Christmas and New Years as well. The days will, however, be changed to Tuesday, + December24, and 31, rather than the usual Thursdays. In order to accomplish this, we ask for the co- operation of advertisers, correspondents, and readers. The Star must go to press no later than Monday afternoon, and consequently no copy can be Accepted on printing day. Contrary to the custom of Saturday closing, the: Star office will stay open Saturdays previous to both Christmas and New Year editions. The deadline for advertising and news copy will be Saturday, 3:00 p.m. in both instances. The earlier printing of the Star will make it more difficult for rural correspondents to obtain news. This is generally done over weekends, and Mondays. We ask however, that correspondents contact us no later than Saturday, 3:00 p.m. sd we may pick up anything of interest at their respective homes.
