Entertain Senior Citzens Last week, Port Pery Lions Club very charitably took- Senior Citizens of the village on a tour of the district to "see the (Christ- mas) lights."

And all for what? For a tersely worded governmental state- ment denouncing his plans and cutting back on the commercial development of the village of Port Perry. In Mr. Irvine's own words; "Therefore our recommen- dation to the Minister will be that the site should be designated '"'open space'. This will permit the developer, Mr. Cesaroni, to construct the marina but not the plaza. Mr. Cesaroni will probably not be in agree- ment with this designation." A winter walk along the shores of Lake Scugog is a sobering experience, now, if one happens to wander in the direction of the plaza's site, corner of North and Water Streets. A forlorn sign pro- claims to one, and all; "PERRYVIEW , PLAZA OPENING SPRING '73. Little clouds of snow, whipped up by the wind, swirl across the desolate empty space, punctuated by an occasional pile. The wind whistles through the pulleys of an old derrick, already beginning to rust.

And to think; this frozen plain might have known the glory that was to be Perryview. nomination to exciting project - for imagine a!

All cheques negotiable at par Banking services are cost- ing some people more than necessary, according to the Canadian Bankers' Associ- ation. In May, 1970, the chartered banks announced that as a result of improved commun- ications and wider use of electronic data processing equipment, it was possible to remove exchange charges which had hitherto been payable on out-of-town cheques. The amounts charged had been up to a quarter of one per cent on the value of cheques, or a minimum of 15 cents. However, the banks have noted that many persons are apparently unaware of the change and are continuing to include amounts for ex- change in cheques payable -outside their home areas. Accordingly, the C.B.A. today reiterated that all cheques in Canadian. funds are now negotiable at par at all branches in Canada without payment of ex- change charges. candidate NAITO Te } { ¥ ' 4
