Dec. 6. 1972 Claremont man wins 125 Bu. Corn Club Mr. Dave Hawthorne, Claremont, was the winner of the Ontario County 125 Bushel Corn Club this year. He had a yield of 143 bushels, of shelled 15 percent mois- ture corn per acre. In second place was Mr. Jim McWilliams, Pickering, with a yield of 142 bushels per acre. In third place was Mr. Howard Tapscott, Clar- emont, with a yield of 138 bushels per acre. Thirty-five farmers took part in the 125 Bushel Corn Club this year. Yields were taken on a three acre plot. Each contestant could use any variety he wished, and use any means at his disposal to procure the highest possible yield. The average yield for the thirty- five contestants was 104 bushels per acre. The club was brought to a conclusion with a 125 Bushel Corn Club Award Night and Banquet in St. Paul's Presbyterian Church Hall, Leaskdale, on Thursday, November 23rd. Mr. George Paisley, Uxbridge, was the chairman. Mr. Glen Wilson Ruth Hb Mr. and Mrs: became the bride of Robert Joseph Hunter son of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Hunter. Rev. Mark Reeves offici- ated at the double ring ceremony. Mrs. Brute Snel- grove was organist, and accompanied Mr. Irwin Smith who sang three solos; "Let it be me," "The Wedding Prayer", and "This is our day." The bride given in mar- riage by her father, wore a traditional white formal wedding gown and carried a cascade of pink roses and white stephanotes. The maid of honour, Miss Susan Bienia and three bridesmaids Mrs. Beth Willes, sister of the bride, Mrs. Pat Studinski, sister of the groom, and Miss Susan Hunter, younger sister of the bride, chose purple and white chiffon dresses com- plimented by nosegay's of miniature pink and purple carnations. Mr. Keith Phoenix, a long-time friend of the groom was the best man. The ushers were John Hun- ter, brother of the bride and expressed the appreciatiop of those present' to the Leaskdale Ladies for a very excellent banquet. Mr. Ivan Bell, Agricultural Representative, announced the prize winners, and-called on the various donors of cash and merchandise to present their prizes. The guest speaker was Rev. Murray Garvin, Min- ister, . St. Paul's Presby- terian Church, Leaskdale. Rev. Garvin showed col- oured slides and gave a most interesting and informative talk on his experiences and objectives as a missionary in Taiwan. Also, on the pro- gram, Mr. Don Gallagher, Soils and CropsSpecialist, spoke briefly and commen- ted on the crop cost study that is being carried on by a number of the growers in the competition. Mr. George Paisley ex- pressed the appreciation of the corn growers to those who took part in the pro- gram, and to the donors of the various prizes for their co-operation in making the prizes available. mh Jim and Tom Hunter, bro- thers of the groom. The men in the wedding party all wore black suits, white shirts and white bouttonniers. The reception was held in the church lower hall, where the U.C.W. catered to a delicious roast beef dinner. For a week following the wedding, Bob and Linda were guests at the Elbow Beach Hotel, Bermuda. The happy couple are residing near Epsom, R. R. No. 4, Uxbridge. Prior to the wedding four showers were given in hon- our of the approaching marriage. One by a girl- friend Miss Anna Croxall and friends from Manches- ter area. Another by rela- tives of the groom at the home of Mrs. K. Hunter, Scarborough. A pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Robinson when friends at Kedron gathered to extend best wishes. A purse of money was given to the young couple from friends at Greenbank following their wedding, and a miscellan- eous shower was held in Prince Albert Community Centre by friends and rela- tives of the Grant Hunter family. The shared Water and Sewage policy between Reach Township and the village of Port Perry has met with some difficulties. There is disagreement between the two parties as to the use of certain common funds. Under the new agreement, Port Perry is to receive two-thirds of the available water and services, the remaining one-third allotted to Reach. One condition has been instigated by Port Perry; that, as was already the case here, a $500 fee be collected from developers for each dwelling unit in a new subdivision. Council has decided that this money is to be used for the gradual installation of new equip- ment and the maintenance of old equipment in the water works. There is only one problem; Reach Township doesn't agree. Consultants Intervene Negotiations between the two ¢ouncils have been, of late, almost negligible. A halting correspondence has been carried out by mail, with engineering and plan- ning consultants Totten Sims Hubicki Ltd. acting as arbi- trators. Totten Sims was called in to investigate why Reach Township was with- holding their fees. Appar- ently, Reach Township wants to use the money to aid development rather than maintain the equipment, as they exprés3ed in their latest communication. What exac- tly is meant by "develop- ment' is anybody's guess, but such a policy is definitely not in line with Port Perry's present stance towards de- velopers. This may perhaps be regarded as "hard line". As councillor Jackman puts it; "The problem is, the $500 fee was recommended because we have found this amount best helps to defray costs. Any future development in the township should be paid for by the developer, not the municipality. We would" use the collected fees for up- grading and repairs. Some sewer mainlines should be replaced and water valves are needed in certain areas. If Reach Township shares in our development, it should share the costs we incur." Reeve Kenny explained he "told Ted Sims (one '"'arbit- rator'") to clarify exactly where the money is spent. Reach Township hasn't had experience in this kind of thing." Apparently there is some $40,000 presently in the water works' account. $300,000 Proposition Mr. Jackman told the Star, "you're talking in the neigh- borhood of $300,000 to update water serviced in this area. The present water tank must be .painted and cleaned. Furthermore, the tank will be lifted onto a tower to increase pumping pressure. HA. £ Johnson OPTOMETRIST for appointment call 985-2383 or Zenith 59240 This is a big operation. And a new tank (needed to increase the water storage capacity) must be purchased and installed." It is in the best interests of both councils to resolve the "Disagree on water, sewage policy present impasse as quickly and as efficiently as possi- ble. The municipal elections will likely add to the present confusion but hopefully the problem will be ironed out by 1973. Illegal reproductions of bank notes by print media will now be prosecuted "The Ontario Provincial Police Anti-Rackets Branch is concerned with the ever increasing trend on the part of the advertising and print- ing media to reproduce the likeness of Canadian paper currency in commercial ad- vertising and other printed material. While such repro- ductions cheapen the posi- tion of Bank notes in the public eye, many of the formats used are in contra- vention of the Criminal Code of Canada. . Few charges have been laid in recent years as warnings seemed to suffice, however, because of the increase in reproduction and after consultation with senior Crown Counsel of the Ministry of the Attorney General, no further warn- ings are to be given and charges will be laid where circumstances warrant.
