Mr. McMillan who is Deputy reeve of Reach and Mr. Graham chose to reply. Mr. Jackman, who is not presently on any council, volunteered to state his position in an exclusive interview last week. He was the first man to declare his intentions. SCHOOL TRUSTEES The STAR had allowed local politicians two weeks to reply. We also wrote to School trustees A. Rowan of Cart- wright, Gordon Goode of Port Perry and Yvonne Christie of Reach. Mr. Rowan will represent Manvers on the Victoria County Board of Education after amalgalmation. Mr. Goode is engaged in an expansion of his business and has not been able to give sufficient thought to his political future. He prom- ised to declare his inten- tions within the next month. Mrs. Christie did not bother to reply. No member of Port Perry council has been able to make up his mind if he will seek re-election or not. LAWRENCE MALCOLM Lawrence Malcolm has served as reeve of Cart- wright for several years and he says, "The thought of quitting isn't at all excit- Gets building permit At its June 26 meeting Port Perry council author- ized the issuing of a building permit for a single family home to be built on the corner of Scugog and Arrow Streets. The lot is the last of six which were sub divided by Kenneth Murray of Port Perry. Several weeks ago Mr. Murray's sub division was the subject of some con- troversy resulting from drainage problems in the area. Council had been asked to with hold the building permit until the drainage problem was cleared up. At the June 26 meeting council was informed that new culverts have been installed in the area and the situation is now under con- trol, so the permit was issued after some discus- sion, ng to say the least." Mr. Malcom has been returned by acclamation more than once and he points out that, "For almost six years as Reeve of Cartwright no one has been dissatisfied enough to try and remove me." He thinks the new council will have to move slowly in _ reorganizing local govern- ment in this area. If the council does not move with care he says, "We will have a jumbled up mess." "My municipal career is now on the line," he points out. JERRY JACKMAN Mr. Jackman is a former Port Perry councillor. In an attempt to move up into the reeves spot last year he lost out by only 181 votes. Jerry Jackman objects to trying to make a full time job out of the mayors role. He notes that councillors in Oshawa are already talking ahowd salaries as high as $360 a week for regional councillors and he thinks that this is unnecessary and a luxury people in this area can ill afford. "If we don't get strong people on the regional council Oshawa will dom- inate it and those guys will get their high salaries," he says. Mr. Jackman says he has been approached by a number of people, including people in the townships, who have asked him to run. ARTHUR CATTON Arthur Catton disagrees (continued on page 5) Port Perry's N.H.L. at 73 star dies Funeral services for National Hockey League star John Ross Roach of Port Perry will be held tomorrow (Thursday) at McDermott and Panabaker' with internment at Pine Grove Cemetery at 2 p.m. John Roach was born on a small farm a few miles north of Port Perry in 1900. He attended school here and began playing hockey for Uxbridge before Port Perry had a team of its own. In days when the team travelled to games by horse drawn sleighs, goaltenders had no face masks and one man was expected to play the whole game. John made the sacrifices that eventu- ally earned him a fourteen year career in the N.H.L., at least one Stanley Cup and a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

After being welcomed to Port Perry by Reeve Kenny the Orangemen introduced' guest spaker Dominic Di Stasi of Toronto who launched into an attack on Roman Catholics in general and catholic schools in particular, the press in general and the Toronto Star in particular. Orangemen, according to Mr. Di Stasi, are opposed to any further grants to Roman Catholic separate schools and look forward to the day when public schools are the only schools. However, he claimed the Orange movement stands for religious tolerance. That is not understood, he indi- cated, because the press is biased against Orangemen. Orangemen also support the. monarchy, he pointed out, then he claimed that the press in general and the Toronto Star in particular is trying to get rid of the Queen and replace our parl- iamentary government system with a republican system such as exists in the United States. He offered no proof of his claim, but re- peated it several times. Later in the day, and after a large colourful parade through Port Perry, the Orangemen met on a less controversial note in the arena. From 4 until 6 p.m. a band contest took place which saw the Victoria Park band of Tor- onto win in the fife and ' f J, » tes A 4 AN a 2 » NP bos -- 1&.

Brush fire on Scugog Firemen had to be called twice to a brush fire on the property of Dr. T. Millar in the Gerrow Bros. Subdivis- ion on Scugog Island Mon- day. A number of tree stumps and fallen or cut logs at the edge of the property on which a new house is being constructed began to burn at about 1 p.m. Firemen from Port Perry were called to the scene and spent about an hour trying to extinguish the fire. How- ever, the timber was smol- dering so deeply inside the wood that it could not be completely put out. So about 4 p.m. the fire- men returned and finished the job with the aid -of abulldozer. No buildings were dam- aged and no one was hurt.
