Billed as an Airport Information Night, the meet- ing allowed the government reps. and the organization spokesmen to take the stage, their repsective opinions, and then answer as best they could any questions from the floor. Federal representative, Mr. Larry Potvin told the audience that a great many factors were. considered 'in the governments decision to build the Pickering Airport, and these included social- economic conditions, pro- jected Gross National Pro- ject, discretionary income; the continuance of existing travel trends, and a predic- tion that by the year 2000, to- there will be some 60 million air passengers annually out of Toronto. Although he admitted, it is impossible to determine"éx- actly' how many people will be flying, the figure of 60 million was determined after the above factors and others had been considered.

The objective this year is $3,500.00 for Port Perry and area. This is the same as last year and we not only met our obligation but exceeded it by $702.58. Campaign chairman this year is Mr. Arnold Roach and some 150 canvasers will be on the job during the month. These people are giving of their free time to battle against cancer and although they know that many types of Cancer can be beaten, they also realize that there is still much work to be done. The money raised this month will be used in research, public education and service to patients programs across Canada. This work- could not be done without the generous support of the Canadian public. When the volunteer can- vasser calls, your donation will be helping science to win out against cancer.
