Mrs. Leigh Anne Bissette of 451 Bigelow said the ditch ---in-question-drains. the water. from the Port Perry Fair Grounds and that last Jan- uary 15, it flooded and they ended up with four feet of water in their basement. "We didn't sue the town or anything like that she said. "We even had a muskrat in our basement." - As a result of the flood, the works department tried to remedy the situation in Port Perry at night March, she said. 'They deepened the ditches at least part of the way up th street." : But since that was done,. the ditch has filled up with silt .and other debris and weeds and Mrs. Bissette feels that there will be - problems again if there is a . heavy rain. "I really 'don't want to . jump the gun and complain to the township until some- Most people have seen what Port Perry looks like during the day,. but now . thanks to the photographic genius of the Star's Peter Hvidsten Jr., you can now see Port Perry at night. By using a tripod and setting the aperture at 'F 22 and the thing happens again," she said. "But I feel that it is up to them to look after these things for us. We shouldn't have to call them." Mrs. Bissette said the ditch carries a lot of water because of the Fair Ground.

Loader of Willowdale has been appoint- ed as organizer in the 1974 Canada Savings Bonds Campaign, payroll savings division, for the Oshawa - Whitby area. The. territory includes Oshawa, Bowmanville, Pick ering, Whitby, Ajax, "Uxbridge; Port Perry "and Port Union. This will be Mr. Loader's _sixth Canada Savings Bonds Campaign. This year marks the 29th anniversary of Canada Sav- ings Bonds and during the "period 1946-1973 inclusive, a total of $6.3 billion in Canada Savings Bonds was purch- ased through the Payroll . Savings Plan across the -country. "\ Last year in' this area, 7,854 employees bought a total of $3,807,100 worth. of Canada Savings Bonds through payroll savings. The 1974-'75 Series went on' sale on Sept. 30 and will be sold at face value until Nov. 15. ~This year more than 5,000 companies will make the payroll savings plan avail- able to their employees for convenient purchase. In 'shutter speed at 'B" and leaving the shutter open for about one minute, this effect was achieved. The streams of light are caused by cars going by and the street lights look like bright stars. 1973, over 709,000 employees purchased a record $387 million worth of Canada Savings Bonds. Payroll purchases in Ontario along in 1973 amounted to $144 mil- lion. The new bonds are avail- able in two forms -- coupon bonds registered as to principal.-are. available in . denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $25,000; and fully-registered bonds in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $25,000. The purchase limit for this series is $50,000. ~There is also good news for -- holders of existing Canada Savings Bonds. Effective Sept. 1, the average annual yield to maturity on all unmatured Canada Savings Bonds was raised to 10.5 per cent. The increased yield will take the form of cash bonus payments. In the case of a $100 Canada Savings Bond of the 1969-'70 series for ex- ample, the cash bonus, which is payable at maturity on Nov. 1, 1978, will amount to $11.50. \ For CSBs maturing after 1979, there will be two cash - bonus payments -- one on Nov. 1, 1979 and the second at maturity. For tax purposes, the government proposes to per- mit taxpayers to treat the bonuses either as interest 'income or capital gains. As a result, "if holders include these cash bonuses under the proposed $1,000 deduction for interest income, these bonuses will become exempt from tax. Alternatively, the holder may find it to his advantage to include the bonus under the favorable tax treatment. accorded to capital gains. ~The proposed $1,000 deduc- tion .would also apply to interest income from this year's Canada Savings- Bonds issue as well as regular interest and com- pound interest certificates from past issues.
