FR ARTA 1 KO Rid; A ka" | Bodh SLANE A Is there a youngster anywhere who doesn't like candy floss? Five-year old Carey Fielding of Port « Perry indicates that the best way to eat it is with the fingers. Carey was one of the many children having a good time at the Fair on Monday. The best place for a view of the Port Perry Fair was at the top of the ferris ywrheel. Always a popular attraction, young and old alike lined up for rides on the wheel. Another popular ride this year was the 'scrambler'. Perfect weather on Monday brought the crowds out to the Fair, with its midway, games of chance; PIE 'TSWANA Support is vital to success of youth centre During the last week or so, there have been some highly informal discussions over the possiblity of creating a "youth drop-in centre in Port Perry. Now it's all well enough for some interested persons to discuss such plans, but the most important thing is to make an effort to determine if there is any interest among the youth. After all, a drop-in centre is for the young people, and it is their opinins and suggestions (if they have any) which must be given foremost consid- eration. Those persons who have taken part in the initial discussions have at this time really no idea what the young people in Port Perry think about a drop-in centre, or for that matter what anybody else's thinking might be. Both Chamber of Com- merce President Dr. Wm. Cohoon and Councillor Ger- ald Jackman have discussed the possibility of a dropin centre and have reacted favourably to the idea. But they would like some help and some support, especially from the youth. They are willing to discuss any ideas, suggestions, opinions or re- actions that anybody might have in this matter. If you feel you have anything at all to contribute, contact either of. these gentlemen. You'll find them both quite ap- proachable. Ne P2RT ( PERRY LH a | Volume 106 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, Sept. 6, 1972 -- No. 46 It's back to the books for another school year The Tuesday after Labour Day has traditionally meant back to school, and yes- terdav was no different, as about 2,380 elementary and secondary students in and around Port Perry dusted off the desks and the books for another school year. Port Perry High Schoo' reports enrollment this year at approximately 950 stu- dents through grades 9 to 13. There are six new members. of the teaching staff this year. A new addition to the curr- iculum will be a course off- ered at the Third Year Level in Computer Science and Programming. Another minor change involves Grade 13 mathematics with three separate subjects, algebra, functions and cal- culus officially replacing the old Math A and Math B. Each of the three subjects will be worth one credit. At RH. Cornish Public School, the start of classes this year coincides with the opening of a new addition to "the school which will help accommodate grades 7 and 8 students from Port Perry, Reach, Scugog and part of East Whitby Townships. The inclusion of these students boosts the enrollment at R.H. Cornish to about 860, up from 617 last year. The new wing contains three large rooms for the teaching of grades 7 and 8 English, math history and geography. As well there is a new 3,000 square foot library \ and study area, seminar room, a double gymnasium, industrial arts, home econ- omics, special science and an art room, all with new equipment. . The increased enrollment and new facilities mean an increase in the professional teaching staff at the public school from 23 last year to 35 this year. The expansion at R.H. Cornish to accommodate all area grades 7 and 8 students brings about a decrease in the enrollment at the public schools in Epsom, Green- bank and Prince Albert. Mr. R. Rowe, who this year takes up duties as principal at both Epsom and Greenbank says the number of classrooms at the two schools has been decreased this year. There are five at Greenbank down from eight last year, and four at Epsom, one less than the previous year. Enrollment at Epsom is approximately 120 in grades 1 to 6, and about 150 students through Kindergarten to grade 6 at Greenbank. At the public school in Prince Albert, Mr. H. Kieze- brink says enrollment is down to about 300 from 367 last year. There are classes from Kindergarten through to grade 6. Mr. Kiezebrink says there are two new' teachers at Prince Albert, although the total staff is one less than last year. Federal election Oct. 30 Over the past few weeks there hasn't really been much doubt that 1972 would be a federal election year in Canada. The big question, however, has been when.' Prime Minister Trudeau ended the mystery with the announcement last week Hospital Report Week Ending August 31 Admissions ............. 40 Births .................... 5 Deaths ................. Nil Emergencies ............ 138 Operations ............... 10° Discharges ............... 38 Remaining .............. 34 that Canadians will go to the polls October 30. That's just about eight weeks from now, and al- though some '"'unofficial" campaigning has been evi- dent in recent weeks, politi- cians from British Columbia to Newfoundland are now taking to the hustings in earnest. In the federal riding of Ontario Liberal incumbent Norm Cafik will be seeking a mandate for his second term, while Conservative Frank McGee and New Democrat Albran Ward will provide the political opposit- ion.
