This is a much later date than usual, and looking through our files we find that in only one year, 1965, did the ice last longer than it has this year, and even in 1965, this was only be one day. The earliest record we could findof whentheice went - out was on March 20th, away back in 1878.

Parking problem discussed at Chamber of Commerce meeting An organization of front street landowners will be meeting to study the avail- ability of public and privately owned parking areas in an . effort to find a solution to the parking problem in Port Perry's business section. - This was a motion of recommendation made by Port Perry businessman George Emmerson at a special Chamber of Com- merce meeting called last Wednesday to discuss the question' of parking in the downtown area. The motion was approved unanimously by the more than 80 Chamber of Com- merce members, Port Perry Council, and members of the local business community who attended the meeting. By giving .approval to the motion, it-was also agreed that those present acknow- ledge that a parking problem does exist in the downtown section of the Village. Atthe outset of the meeting Chamber of Commerce President Wm. Cohoon told the audience that most older towns and villages are ex- periencing difficulty in pro- viding adequate parking areas. «Dr. -Cohoon said that population growth in Port Perry will consist of younger Food specialist speaks to area hog Home economist and food consultant 'Joan Fielden addressed a meeting of about 60 area hog producers last Thursday afternoon at the Oddfellows Hall, Port Perry. The meeting was sponsored by the Ralston Purina Com- pany. ro Miss Fielden, who has worked as a nutritionist and consultant for 22 years is a graduateinHome Economics from the University of Toronto. She has worked for supermarket chains, and is anadvisor totheOntarioFood Council. Her topic last Thursday was the consumer and the food industry with specific references to meat and meat products, including pork, beef and poultry. Following are some excerpts from her address. Meat is by far the most importantelementinourdiet. Ithasoftenbeensaidwearea "meat and potato" country, but improvements in our narketing system have altered the pattern greatly. The buyer has demanded and received the best quality anc dollar value. The average Canadian producers Miss Joan Fielden about 70 pounds of beef yearly, and 50 pounds of pork.

It was formerly the relegated to everyday family meals.

The average person eats too much for granted that pork is a good to excellent (continued on page 18) least, expensive meat, and thus people, and. "business must orient itself to those people. 'Access and parking in the downtown area must be - provided." . But this must be done, he said, without the loss of the heritage and the special characteristics which are unique, to the small town. Dr. Cohoon warned that if services are not provided, "we can be' "sure that somebody outside the Village will do it." Miss Ann Lewington, of the Planning Branch .of the Department of Department of Municipal Affairs was a special guest speaker at the meeting, and she outlined the purposes of an official plan and zoning by-laws, and the effects these have on the community and people. She said an official plan is simply a document set up to guide a municipality in its decisions on development over a number of years. She said the goals should be to see that proper services are provided such as sewer and water, and also to see that areas for recreation and parks are retained. A zoning by-law, explained Miss Lewingtonismuch more specific than an official plan, stipulating exactly where, in accordance with the official plan, certain kinds of development can take place. Inreference to the parking problem, Miss Lewington said many areas are exper- iencing the same thing, and added thathow the problem is tackled would be up to the business people and the Village. During an open discussion period, merchant Art Brock questioned whether the park- ing problem is desperate at this time. Mr. Brock said that the large lot behind his business is seldom filled with parked cars. Another Port Perry mer- chant, GordCarnegie seemed to sum up the sentiments of those present when in refer- 'ence to parking, he said, "we'reingood shape now, but one of these days we're not going to be in good shape, so- let's think about it, or we're going to be dead." On April 26, three members of the 2nd Port Perry Guide Company received All-Round Cords from District Commissioner Mrs. L. Quinton.
