Dave Binger, a leader of the POW (Progress Over Welfare) group says the * organization has the support of 90 percent of the residents of the village, A petition with 100 names on it has been sent to officials of both senior levels of . government including Transport Minister Don "Your satisfaction is our concern OWASCO VOLKSWAGEN LTD.

The petition says it wants Brougham incorporated in the airport site and that the residents expect to be com- pensated for their property and inconvenience. Dr, Charles Godfrey head of POP (People Or Planes), a group opposing the airport, said today residents of Brougham who are willing to sell their land to make way for the airport are "selling their birthright for a pile of potash." He added that he dis- agreéd with the stand being taken by the POW group. "They are being unfair to the other people of Ontario by being willing to sell their property," he said. "These people (Brougham residents) are being taken in by offers of a lot of money for their land in return for not looking at the consequences of their actions." Mr. Binger said POW wants the airport in Picker- ing so there will be more commercial and industrial * assessment in the township; -and less commuting to Toronto and Oshawa for jobs. He said the group also wants the airport because it will keep local money in the area instead of losing it: to big city shopping centres.

However, Township Clerk Vic Malcolm told the STAR that Reach council members are allowed up to '$50 per day fo cover mileage, meals, overnight accommo- dation and convention regis- {ration fees. : At the March 21 meeting some members of Port Perry Council expressed an interest in attending the Ontario Municipal Associ- ation Convention which will be held May 5 and 6 in Parry Sound. Resolution continued Because of these new developments, he said that + County Council, as the gov- erning body "should take the leadership to find out what may be required to cope with he anticipated growth." He described his resolution as recognizing the need for regional changes, and also an immediate need for a fact finding mission, "We have to get at it," said Mr. Timbers. An Ontario County war- den's advisory committee will meet arch 30 to ---prepare anagenda, and seta date for the meeting of local representatives as called for in the resolution. Reaction to the resolution from other County members indicated that the formation of a regional government will be speeded up. $ " Reach Township Reeve Sam Oyler said "the resol- ution is a good one, and will bring County Council closer to agreement over regional government," Reach Deputy reeve Mrs. Lucille Gray voted in favour of the resolution, and added that she had been expecting something like this for some time. "It's one jump ahead of Mr. McKeough (Provinc- ial Treasurer) and that's better for you," added Mrs. Gray. Port Perry Deputy reeve. Phil Orde also voted in favour of the resolution, and said it's a "step towards regional government.

The new airport is going to affect all of Ontario County," said Mr. Orde. When as When asked how soon he would anticipate municipal changes in Ont- ario County, Mr. Timbers said by 1974. Two kids who found something to keep them busy during the mid-winter break from classes are Kevin Woods and Gary Osaduke, both 12, and both grade 6. students. The boys worked pumping gas at the Swamp Garage on Highway 12 and for their efforts picked up a little extra pocket money. (continued) recreational community, and Port Perry looked just beautiful.' Dr. Millar and his wife 'Catherine made a quick trip to the Village back in December. They went back to Scotland to "tie up the loose ends," and arrived in Canada to stay on Friday, March 17. IE Sines arriving, they both say the biggest problem they've experienced has been the weather. It was spring-like when they left Scotland, and the tail end of the Canadian winter has necessitated their buying over-shoes and over-coats. Aside from the weather, Dr, Millar says he was astoun- ded at the size of Toronto, and then the great amount of open space in the country - surrounding the city. So far, he has found the Canadian people to be very friendly, and has been struck by their frankness and honesty. Dr. Millar graduated from the Glasgow University- Medical School, and for six months did general surgery at Law Hospital in Carluke, Lanarkshire, = He then worked with the cardiology unit of a Glasgow hospital before going into general practice in Larkhall three years ago. He says the differences in medical practice between this country and Scotland are "terrific. At home, a GP will have very little contact with patients in a hospital. Here, a doctor can get involved with patients at the hospital, allowing for-medi- cine to be practiced on a personal level." Referring to the facilities here in Port Perry, he says "there is no way a town this size in Scotland would have any- _ thing similar;-and doctors in "the United Kingdom are fighting for smaller, better equipped hospitals." Because he had little patient contact in the hospi- tals, Dr. Millar says he often made as many as 25 house, calls in a single day, "and Scottish doctor in Port Perry my petrol bill each month was sometimes as much as 50 pounds,' he adds. (one pound is worth about $2.40.) When not practicing medi- "cine, Dr. Millar's interests are 'motor cars, and '"any- thing with an engine." He describes auto-crossing, a popular' Scottish motor sport, as an "obstaclé 'race against the clock around some farmer's field." Music is another of his interest, and before starting medical studies, he had actually studied to be a. professional pianist. Both-he 3 - and his wife also take an interest in theatre. One thing he is not interested in however is politi¢s, and although Dr. Dymond successfully com- Dr. Millar says he will stick to medjcine. Both Dr. Millar and his wife Catherine say they are looking forward to making their home in Port Perry. The Port Perry STAR would wish them well. * Ys H.P.
