Carnegie classes filling rapidly The Dale Carnegie Course, sponsored here by The Port Perry Star is filling rapidly, according to Lyle "We are in the process of contacting all those who have expressed an interest in "The Port Perry class will be held one night a week for a 14-week period," Dave Mather, Dale Carnegie "That's long enough to help people develop new self-confidence, Human Relation and Communication skills; and short enough to fit into a person's busy schedule," he added. Missed sessions may be picked up in near-by communities where classes are being held. Mr. Mather told The Star, "one reason the Dale Carnegie Course enjoys such a fine reputation around the world is its unique teaching methods. It is a very practical course, we learn by doing rather than be lectures in Carnegie Programs," he said. "This way a person can learn more quickly and the retention is higher." Dave Mather and Lyle Smith will be guest speakers at the Chamber of Commerce meeting in Since the Port Perry class will be limited to 44 participants, anyone wanting to know more about the course should call the Star at 985-7383 as soon as the Oshawa Fair. The Fairs are usually held several weeks apart so both Boards could hold separate Fairs. On Wednesday, December 11th, Port Perry High School's staff and students _had a special assembly in honour of the custodial staff.

Scugog council last week approved a plan for a joint dog control program with the township of Uxbridge for next year. Uxbridge council must still approve the idea. Under the program work- ed out by members of both "council, Uxbridge's dog con- trol officer will serve both townships and will use the pound that is now existing in Goodwood. Coun. Reg Rose said the program will probably cost Scugog about $10,000 next year. But he pointed out that at least $7,000 of this should be recovered by the sale of dog tags. A new fee schedule for dog tags was also approved by council. A tag for a neutered dog will cost $5,00, while a male dog tag will be $7.00 and a female tag $10.00. For every dog more than one, which a person owns, sickening." Mr. Addison, went on to note how diligent- ly the custodians' care for our classrooms and school, often when we aren't around, in order that our lives can be more comfortable. 1 know I'm speaking for most of our students and staff when I say that the many services you perform are above the nor- man duties, expected of your vocation."

A female tag 1s $8.00 and each subse- quent tag is $12.00.
