In announcing his support of _young Canada's -"most important: week, His Worship suggested that the local citiz- enry would . "do well to 'keep in step with Canada' by attending minor hockey games this week". "It is our duty, and I share it with every local citizen" he said, "to show our appreciation of the efforts of those who make. partici- pation in Canada's National Sport possible for our young- sters. Minor Hockey Week is Canada's most successful amateur sports promotion, and it is our duty to see that the local observance is equal _ to that of any jin Canada." The Reeve pointed out that we have a minor hockey program operating here that does not need to take a back seat to any in the country, but, he said "it needs our support". "The best way to support the - program is by buying a ticket. That starts a chain of events that really supports the local project. First the Caesarea Couple Honoured With Surprise Party The community of Caes- area honoured Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Randall with a big surprise party, Saturday. The occasion' was the couple's 50th Wedding Anniv- ersary, and about 100 of the residents attended the func- tion. They received a number of lovely gifts, and as Mrs. 'Randall told the Star, "I still can't believe such a wonderful thing could happen". ~ Mr, and Mrs. Randall have been residents | of Caesarea for the last ten. years. They moved there from Toronto at the time of retirement, and enjoy the friendliness of the people and the beauty of the country. money helps finance the program. Then the ticket induces us to attend, .and our' presence encourages the youngsters and those whose efforts 'are necessary to the success of the local league." He urged, however, that our support should not stop at encouragement. The reeve went on to say that "we must pay public tribute to the men, and ladies who spend so many hours organizing and operating the many leagues and games for our youngsters. By their work they are providing our youngsters with an opport- unity to play hockey. Out of this comes better bodies, healthier minds, better boys and. better citizens. What greater réward can we hope for?," he asked. He did, however, go on to voice another hope -- that one day, one or more of our boysimay make the Canadian National Team, and thus represent our town and our league on the National team as it carries the name of Canada into international competition. "Then we shall have just reason to be proud of our. town, our boys and of the men who made it all possible."

Agreement For Sewage Signed By OWRC, Village The signing of agreements between the Village of Port Perry and the Ontario Water Resources Commission has paved the way for the develop- ment of an extensive sewage works program 'in this area. The first stage of the prog- ram, to cost an estimated $1,257,000. will include-the construction of a forcemain, pumping station, lagoon and sanitary sewage system to serve most of the. developed areas of the' village. The project is being fin- anced by the Province of Ontario through the Ontario Water Resources Commission whereby the municipality will pay for the services on a use only basis. It is expected that final design for the first stage of the system will be completed by next June following which tenders will be called for . construction. Estimated start- ing time for the building of. the project is early this summer with the system coming into operation - by * the spring of 1970.
