Excellent decorations and a good turnout of both students and parents added to the event as well. One of the highlights of the annual At Home is the naming of the Queen and princesses. From left are: 2nd princess Wilma Wolters; last year's queen Michelle Robinson; Queen Mary Lou Malcolm and Cindy VanCamp, 1st princess. The At Home was held at the Blackstock Recreation Centre. Study rural condominium In Scugog Township, - developer Doug Wilson will at least get consideration. Before council, Monday night, with a unique co- operative condominium residential-farmland development, Mr. Wilson told council he was so used to getting kicked out of council with his ideas that he would: be happy with just some kind of consideration on council's Hospital Report Week Ending May 8th Admissions ...................... 33 Births.....cccooooviiiininiiiiiinnn, 2 Deaths .........cccoovveevinnnn.. nil Emergencies .................. 129 Operations....................... 11 Discharges........neeiiininan 30 Remaining....................... 38 Retarded as part and an indication of council's preliminary approval or disapproval. The Wilson development, the example 50-unit develop- ment, being located on farm- land between concession 2 and 3, south of Port Perry, calls for the co-operative construction of townhouse type units. Rather.than turn farmland into residential property, however, this pro- ject would call for 75 per cent of the property to remain agricultural, with each unit . with a large section of co- operative farm plot for co- operative farm production. These plots would be for market gardening, rather thanlargescale farming, Mr. Wilson pointed out. Rather than operate on individual septic and sewer sociation Volunteer work is no Society's changing atti- tudes about mental retard- ation has brought about an understanding and accep- tance that would have been unheard of even a decade ago, but for organizations such as the local Central - Seven of the Ontario Associ- ® [ 3 8 a 4 - | I | Pp | - { » ation for the Mentally Retarded, it's been a hard- fought battle, and uphill all the way. According 'to Mrs. Eliza- beth Fulford of the Central Seven, the rights of the retarded child, under the law, is in itself a newly- established concept, a con- cept lobbied by small local associations under the unbrella of provincial and national bodies for many years. The area organizations, like the hundreds of others in the province and across the systems, the entire develop- ment would be services by a central system. Quality of life for the resi- dents would be one of the main advantages, according to Mr. Wilson, who thinks the high rent, high-rise develop- ments in the city are not ideal for raising a family. Cost is the other advant- age. Mr. Wilson thinks the units could be offered to the purchaser for $15,000 to $17,000 cheaper than units built in Oshawa. The concept is new, he said, and all he wants from council is an open mind. He said he was not asking for approval or disapproval, and said he realized the zoning, planning, and bylaw problems that would have to be solved before such a project became a reality. 20c per copy Vol. 109 -- ORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, May 14, 1975 -- No. 27 24 Pages Industry hooks into system later Plant on wells, septic services Scugog Township council saw no reason why any developing industry building on unserviced land in the Port Perry area shouldn't be able to operate on a tempor- ary water and sewage system. Developer Tony Cesaroni, asking for such a temporary ability to attract what he described was a 150 job, 60,000 square foot light indus- try to his industrial subdivis- ion north of Region Road 8, was told restrictions apply only to developments that would hook into the commun- ity's water and sewage system. Should a developer get the required approval from the health department for septic tank - well site, council could see n o reason why such a project should be refused by council. When the water- sewage work is completed, such an industry would simply switch over to the permanent system. . Mr. Cesaroni, in making the request, said what was needed was a policy that would allow the community Region budget increase estimated 37.7 per cent The Region of Durham's standing committees will have to do a lot of chopping if the region intends to keep budget increases to a reason- able level. At least that's how it looks, following the finance committee presentation of a 1975 regional current budget showing a 37.7 percent in- crease over last year's figure. According to finance committee chairman Coun. George Ashe (Pickering), the region's "case" is being put together and will be presented to Treasury, Economics, Intergovern- mental Affairs Minister Darcy McKeough for a pos- sible increase in grants from the province. In the preliminary budget, regional departments sub- mitted estimates which would commit Durham Re- gion to an expenditure of $13,249,000 compared to the 1974 levy of $9,623,000. Part of the increase, how- ever, was because Durham Region was growing to capa- city in 1974 and not all staff had been hired for all 12 months last year. The budget could increase beyond 37.7 percent, how- (continued on page 7) once-a-year effort country, are a continually- operating, volunteer group that help to provide services for the retarded all year. Of the more than 30 mem- bers of Central Seven, a nucleus of about half that number . have formed the basis of a solid service record. With the Flowers of Hope campaign coming up next week, the National Week for, the Mentally retarded, the organization drops its usual low profile and will try to raise some funds for a work- shop for the mentally handi- capped they hope will be eventually established here. The money, earmarked for that purpose, is putin a trust fund. Working in all areas to promote programs for the retarded, organizations like Central Seven have had con- (continued on page 9) ever, depending on what re- gional council does with a consultant's report recom- mending region-wide water and sewer structures. The * figure does not include, in the preliminary estimates, accounts of water and sewer expenditures. to make it attractive for such industries to build here. The industry Mr. Cesaroni described was an office manufacturer-assembly type operation, and a light user of water. Holiday closing Due to Monday holiday (Queen Vic- toria Day) May 19, the Star will be published on Thursday, May 22, rather than Wednes- day, May 21.

Tony Lidstone, 10, of Cartwright Central School, was one of over 170 young people from area public schools who visited the Port Perry Community Memorial Hospital Monday during the Open House program. Part of Canada Hospital Day, the 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. open house saw over 100 adults as well as the school children attend. Most facilities at the hospital were open to the visitors, and according to hospital staffers, the reaction by the young people was one of enthusiasm and a continual flow of questions. Tony Lidstone is looking at a slide containing a drop of blood, ont 6f the many exhibits set up for the open house. PP er a ari Soh SSA SR SO A Tn Ee a ASI SCONE - Wy "ey AVES :
