Lad A RR AR ¥ ve 32 Wai LW | Re ed iad ERRORS CITA EAE /* Seagrave area news | |e : 2 J 4 Seagrave lost its oldest citizen when Mrs. Sleep ' passed away last Wednesday morning in Port Perry hospital. She was well . into her 98th year and had spent her whole life within about two miles of Seagrave village. . The funeral. was held on Friday with burial in Bethel Cemetery, Greenbank. For hospital news we can report that Bernard Standish was at home again this week end and that the others reported last week are doing nicely. An accident at the McNeil corner at about 7:30 Sunday evening sent five persons to various hospitals in the dis- trict. There were Mr. and Mrs. George Reid of Sea- grave and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bell and. daughter of Lindsay. The Bells are relatives of Mrs. Williamson of our village. Mr. Cyril White narrowly escaped being a casualty too, last week, when he was hit by a car while crossing the road for his mail. He was lucky. Mr. Beacock displayed a projector purchased by the S.S. and we understand that Mr.Roundell has tapes which can be borrowed. We are going to need curtains if this is used in daytime. There were no" meetings here last week except the regular 4H but on Saturday afternoon, ten of our ladies attended a tea and bazaar in Sonya Church where Mrs. Carr won a floral arrange- ment. Then on Saturday evening several from the ° community were at Pleasant Point anniversary dinner. The - B. Wanamakers Proposed subdivision discussed ® A written report on a proposed subdivision in Utica has been requested by Scugog township council. Edward Orton, a develop- er from Ajax presented a verbal proposal to council regarding a 26-acre site in the north-eastern part of the hamlet. Councillors wanted more details in a number of areas. The plan outlined called for the developer to maintain control of the land but for the tenant to buy the house he i is living in. Mr. Orton said the pro- posal is modelled 'after government H.O.M.E. programs. David McKay, a solicitor for the developer, disagreed with Mr. Orton on several points and said they had never really discussed parts of the proposal. Mr. Orton said the tenant would pay about $375 a month and would own the home after twelve or fifteen years. ' Mr. McKay said they' couldn't own the home when the developer owned the land. ~ Each home owner would pay $80.00 a month rent for the land plus taxes, Mr. Orton said. Mr. - Orton .said water, street lights and roads would all be provided by the developer. Clara report that they visited Mr. and Mrs. P. Mason in Tor- onto on Tues., that son Bill and his wife Sharyn were around on the week end and that they with Mr. and Mrs, Earle Martyn and Mr. and Mrs. Alan Martyn dined with : the' Ron Wanamakers in Oshawa on Sunday evening. The footloose Venners spent part of last week with Mr. and Mrs. Yoki in Niagara Falls and this week they are busy packing up for their annual winter visit to Florida. They expect to leave next week end. . Mr. and Mrs. Les Third are still enjoying life. Last week on Sunday they visited with long-time friends Mr. and Mrs. R. Graham of Myrtle. The next day Mr. and Mrs. Gord Ingelton of Pefferlaw had supper with them. On Tuesday, they had lunch with Mrs. N. Third in Claremont and to finish the weeks visiting they called on Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harper .of Little Britain. Mr. Harper had just returned from Lind- say hospital and other Third relatives from Toronto were there also. The John Tobin's visions were no strangers. They were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tobin and family of Black- stock and Mrs. Coxworth and Shane of Uxbridge. Mr. and Mrs. B. Carr and daughters spent Sunday 'afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Smith in Eden. Also on Sunday, Mr. and -Mrs. Don Beacock and boys were with Mr. and Mrs. Mel Tindall 'and family in Sandford. ; - Church service - was as usual but Sunday School was a bit unusual in that Supt. Beacock had to rush around to find chairs for the crowd who attended. We finally got Ken Sturman's birthday offering too. Mr. Beacock displayed a projector purchased by the S.S. and we understand that Mr. Rundle has tapes which can be borrowed. We are going to need curtains if this is used in daytime. Church service is cancel- led for next Sunday because of Greenbank Anniversary but Sunday School will be held as usual at 11 o'clock. And don't forget the Turkey Dinner on November 6th, 1974. ..New apartments on Water Street with only one exit have Port Perry Fire Chief Jack Cook worried. Mr. Cook told Scugog council that the entrances to these apartments is through the balcony and they have no rear exits. Mr. Cook said he felt something should be done about fhe situation, Council asked the fire department and the clerk to . Bo over township building bylaws regarding fire regul- ations and bring back recommendations on how to improve the bylaws to council. } . The Ontario . Fire Mar- shal's Office won't do any- thing about these complaints unless. there is a township bylaw, Mr. Cook said. The Fire Chief also said the new senior citizens apartments still have wood- en stairs despite the fire departments complaints to the builder, the township building inspectors and the Fire Marshal's Office. Mr. Cook said all three parties were warned in plenty of time so the steps , areas A> LES Vi rE F REA LE ' LL A - 1 - SEES Ri dhe 14 4 BARNA shld sav liad al ~ PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Oct. 30, 1974 -- 3 New apartments worry Fire Chief could be changed before it was too late in the building process.
