New b book honours J Jimmy Frise A small plaque at the Scugog Shores Museum hon- ours Jimmy Frise. And now even smaller, a book of Frise drawings from World War 1 is available to further honour the famous cartoonist who originated from somewhere near Port Perry. No one knows for sure where he was born. Every community in the area has tried to claim him since his death in 1949. The plaque says he was educated at Myrtle and Seagrave. A story from the STAR Sept. 22, 1971 claims he was also educated at the Head school on Scugog Island. Where ever he was from Kinsmen organizing Cystic Fibrosis week Dave Langille May is Cystic Fibrosis month. For the past 8 years, - for all Kinsmnen Clubs in District 8, C.F. has been a major united fund raising project. Needless to say the Port Perry Kinsmen have been busily preparing for their projects to aid in the fight to cure C.F. What exactly is Cystic Fibrosis you may be won- dering? Evidence strongly suggest that C.F. ocurs it a Child inherits genes for the condition, one from each parent. Parents are carriers of C.F., but show no sign of it themselves. Every time a pair of carrier parents have a child there is a 1 in 4 possibility that the baby will be born with C.F. Approx- imately 1 in 1000 babies is born with this disease, which affects the lungs by coating them with a thick gluey mucus, reducing the oxygen supply to the body. Also the stomach by means of producing faulty digestive juices, therefore nutrition cannot be extracted from food consumed. Symtoms are -- frequent coughing, rapid breathing, bulky diarrhea, salty sweat, Subdividers must go to plan board A number of would be developers have shown up at council meetings in Port Perry recently with -pro- _posals only to be told that they must go planning board. In most cases reeve Robert Kenny refuses to even discuss the proposals until planning board has seen them and made a recommendation, '"'Other- wise,' says the reeve, "there is no point having a planning board." The latest proposal was for a row of three storey buildings on Water Street. The developer wanted to have stores on the ground floor 'and two apartments over each store. The reeve thought that the proposal may violate zoning regulations and sent the developer off to discuss it with planning board. through a pot belly, and failure of baby to gain weight despite an excellent appetite. There is no definite cure, only treatment to arrest it. Ten years ago, most C.F. children died before school age. Today with early diagnosis and expert treat- ments many affected young- sters stand a good chance of living beyond their teens. Treatments consist of Diet supplements, mist tents, postural drainage therapy breathing exercises and specific medications up to 70 pills per day to combat lung infection. This means hours of work for the parents every day. Phase one of the Kinsmen projects is to educate the people in Port Perry and (continued on page 21) Jimmy Frise gave to Canada a unique combination of artistic talent, warmth and humour that has never been equalled. The latest book of Frise drawings is titled simply The First Great War and is available for two dollars from the 43rd Battery Assn, 12 Ballyronan Rd.. Don Mills. In the introduction to the book humourist Gregory Clark sums up the Frise contribution, 'He was, and Is, unique." Hydro moves to Gossard building At its April 17 meeting Port Perry council agreed to rent part of the old town hall (Gossard Building) to the village hydro commission temporarily for $300 ayear or $25. a month. The building had been rented to Dominion Corset. A lease between the village and Dominion would have expired in October. However when the com- pany decided to move its operation to Toronto it asked council to accept half rent for the balance of the lease and promised to turn the building over to the council before April 30. tanks and masks and entered the house, but smoke was so heavy they could see nothing. Hoses and a huge fan were used to clear smoke so rescuers could get in, but by that time the room was gutted. One fireman estimated that the victim was dead before they arrived. A large crowd of morbid onlookers gathered on the sidewalk as the body was removed from the building and taken to an undertaker. Neighbours say Mr. and Mrs. Bickle had a large grown up family, but they lived alone in the house. P2RT § PERRY 15c per copy 24 Pages Volume 107 PORT PERRY. ONTARIO. Wednesday. Apr. 25. 1973 - No. 27 from village Council investigating recycling of garbage Following a suggestion of the area ratepayers associ- ation Port Perry council is investigating details of recy- cling of glass and tin cans garbage. Councillor Reg Rose sug- gested that the village start by placing bins in places where members of the public could deposit recyclable material so, "If anyone is really enthusiastic they can separate it at home and we. can recycle it." However, that suggestion brought up the problem of where to get rid of the glass and tin. "I'm in favour of recycling and cleaning up the environment," comm- ented deputy reeve Phil Orde, but he pointed out that it would be very expensive for a village the size of Port Perry to try recycling on its own. 'We need more in- formation," said the deputy reeve. Mr. Orde suggested that the ratepayers group might be able to advise council about where glass and tin could be sent for recycling. Mr. Rose pointed out that the Boy Scouts are already collecting paper, and said council should not try to interfere with that program. It was generally agreed that there is no possibility of the village making any money from the sale of reusable material. By the time the material is col- lected and shipped we would be lucky to break even, council thought. Council 1s now seeking information which will help it design a pilot recycling project here. ~ In the meantime the village has approved a resolution from councillor Rose that a "Clean Up Week' be observed in Port Perry sometime this spring. Joning change proposed Reach Township council will soon be circulting details of a change it proposes in zoning of property immedi- ately south of the Port Perry townline. At its last meeting council approved a request by Van Edwards Investments to begin. seeking provincial approval of a plan to subdivide land to provide for 102 residential lots and an equal area for industrial development. According to provincial regulations the proposed zoning amendment must be circulated to other property owners in the area, and time must be allowed for objections. If there are no objections the proposal goes on to the Ontario Municipal Board for consideration. The land is presently zoned agricultural. Van Edwards proposes to subdivide 102 housing lots west of Ontario Street and from the Port Perry townline south. The industrial sub- division would begin where the residential lots end and go to the site of a present factory on the Oshawa Road.
