OPP report During the week of Janu- ary 28 to February 3, 1974, there were 9 motor vehicle collisions in which 1 person was injured and damage amounted to $5,170.00. 241 charges were laid under the Highway Traffie Act. Officers-on General Law Enforcement investigated 2 break and enters, 1 theft, 2 disturbances, 1 report of malicious damage. 4 im- paired drivers were arrested and 8 persons were charged with violations under the Liquor Control Act. On Tuesday evening at 6:25 p.m. Constable Dave Robbins was investigating a motor vehicle collision on Highway 401 in Pickering Township, when a later model ~~ Buick suddenly braked hard and swerved onto the north shoulder A passenger jumped out, dropped a knife and started running west- bound and at the same time the driver yelled for Const- able Robbins' help. The driver, Frank Grof of Bowmanville, had picked up a hitchiker in the Belleville areca and the hitchhiker pulled a knife and demanded to be driven to Toronto. Con- stable Robbins chased the youth on foot and apprehen- ded him. Old by-laws discarded By-laws come and by-laws #0 as the new Scugog council tries to get itself into the swing of this new regional government thing. At the January 27 meeting three old Port Perry by- laws: ones fixing fees for milk men. controlling the sale of tobacco products and regulating pool halls and bowling alleys, were dore away with as obsolete. In their place were passed four men bylaws; setting a licence fee for out of town door to door salesman at $50. a year, establishing safety rules for buildings, making plumbing inspection mandi- tory. and appointing Donald Carnegie Plumbing in- spector. ' Scueog Administrator Neil Brodie has copies of these by-laws at the municipal building on Perry Street, DURHAM COLLEGE OPEN HOUSE Honour long time member At the annual meeting of Port Perry Agricultural Society held at Wick Presbyterian Church recently, Mr. Armour McMillan was made: an honourary director. Mr. McMillan resigned as a director on that occasion, after having held numerous positions on the executive for 33 years. As a tribute to Mr. McMillan for his contribution to the Port Perry Agricultural Society, he was given this well deserved recognition. The Port Perry Fair Board, which Mr. McMillan joined 'in 1940 was then comprised mostly of young men. He became a director on the Board and was elevated to vice president in 1942 when Fred Christie was honoured with the president's chair. They worked closely together in these positions for the next 12 years when Mr. McMillan took over the postion of president in 1954 and held it until 1958. Since no grants were available for horse racing at fairs, the discussion of discontinuing this attraction was seriously considered at a meeting in 1941. 'One strong supporter of horse racing in those days Mr. McMillan said, was the late R.M. Holtby. He emphasized strongly to give the public what they wanted and in his opinion horse races was definitely one major attraction at any fair. The Port Perry Fair had always been held in the fall, but never on a definite date. However in 1943 this was changed and Labour Day was chosen to be the permanent day of the fair. The attendance and the success of the fair has been on an increase ever since. As a matter of fact, Mr. McMillan says, I believe the attendance at the Holstein Show in 1973 outnumbered the public taking in the entire fair attractions in the thirties. Other members ont he Fair Board, starting out about the same time as Mr. McMillan are Harold Honey and Fred Christie. The success of the Port Perry Fair is due to a great extent to the caliber of men in charge, and the Board has been fortunate to have a number of hardworking and dedicated persons at all times. In his closing relarks, Mr. McMillan said, "When you drive down the road north of the Fair Grounds on Labour Day and see the colourful crowds of people and animals mingling, to me it certainly reflects the real spirit of a rural community."
