Reader's opinion aE A... Name not important, says reader We read with amazement and disbelief, the editorial of September 5th headed, 'Make the Name Durham," referring to the New Regional Government in negative terms. We must be thankful that the people during the Second World War did not have this same defeatist attitude, or today, we would all be doing the goose-step and speaking German. It has been said that a small voice in opposition can gain more attention than a nod of the head, your edit- orial indicates that we are all small children and must be told what to do by Big Daddy to the South. I say to you that the people of the New Area of Scugog are smarter than you give them credit for being. They are more aware, and with good representation in the various areas of the New Regional System, they will be tenacious fighters and ensure that Scugog will be run by the People, for the People, and for the good of the Community. It 1s a rare opportunity that is now available to the voters of this area to involve themselves in the formation of a new system of Government, an opportunity that comes to few genera- tions of Voters. It is im- perative that every Person on the Voters List cast their ballots to ensure that ex-. perienced, competent people represent this area of Scu- gog. I say "What's in a Name," -- it is people that make things happen and it is people who will make this new system succeed or fail, the name of the Region matters little, it is what occurs in that Region that Gives praise to Fair and Fair organizers Mr. Bruce Arnold, Editor: Port Perry Star, Port Perry, Ontario. Dear Mr. Arnold: I was interested to read the letter to the Editor of Dawn Ireland today, in your September 5th issue. It was entitled 'Prices Not Fair-at Fair." I for one would like to comment that no amount of money could replace the great time or value my wife and family and I place on going to the Fair each year. Our children look forward to it almost as much as Christmas! It's great to see so many community minded organ- AVAILABLE THE ONTARIO COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM 1973-74 NIGHT SCHOOL BROCHURES ARE NOW AT ALL HIGH SCHOOLS.

And if that certain farmer keeps asking our boy, maybe one of these years he may have enough nerve to have a real squirt of milk! We, for one never miss it and would like to offer our thanks to all the organizers and all the participants who are involved in making the Port Perry Fair the great success we think it is!

To the Voters I say, get out and acquaint yourselves with the Candidates, inform yourselves of their qualifi- cations, involve yourselves in the pre-election meetings, and most important of all, vote for the people of your choice on October 1st and ensure that you have had a hand in the forming of this new system of government. The first term of office is three years, succeeding terms are two years. It is therefore vital that we ensure that the elected- representatives, who will be laying the foundation for years to come, are com- petent and efficient. October 1st, 1973, you have a choice. it will be three years before you have the opportunity to vote for a change. Chuck Preston Correction The Star apologizes for a grammatical error which occured in an ad placed by Lawrence Malcolm last week. The mistake gave the wrong interpretation of the statement which Mr. Malcolm originally ex- pressed. NEW LOW A yy We construct PRICES TRAY THN EE a PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Sept. 12th, 1973 -- 5 Put pressure on authorities Dear Sir: It was sad to read that the Deputy Reeve of Reach, Armour McMillan, stated the by-laws of the township were not enforced because Reach could not afford it. Bylaws are the Ten Com- mandments of Municipal Government, which provide all residents with uniform protection regardless of the ratepayer's financial stand- ing. By Laws are passed only after due consideration and with the welfare of the community in mind. While these laws are on the books there is an obligation to see them carried out. It would be interesting to learn what remedial action has been taken by council to correct this injustice. The Deputy Reeve's suggestion has merit -- that is the province should supply money for court cases. Was our Provincial member approached by council for then aiel? Has our council through its membership in the Mayors and Reeves Associations of Ontario sought combined action? No doubt Uxbridge and Whitchurch have ex- perienced similar problems. Have the conservation of the Pro- vince been solicited for their support" Has pressure been brought to bear on Queen's Park by demanding that the Province buy gravel only from Pits authorized by the township and those complying with all zoning by laws? If not, then, there is of Officers, By-Laws ~ and personnel, to con- tend with. Sometimes the thought frightens me, but if elected for MAYOR on October 1st I will give of my ex- perience and whatever time is necessary to lead this new Council in making it a success. Lawrence Malcolm for MAYOR The new Council for Port Perry, Reach, Scugog and Cartwright will not only have the current business to look after, but also re-organization laxity or disinterest in arriv- ing at a permanent solution. Unless there is uniform enforcement of by-laws throughout the township the little man has reason to be vexed when called upon to buy a tag for 'Lady' and "Rover" when the gravel pit owners can disregard by laws.
