According to chamber member and organizer, Howard Hall, the weekend event was "modest but pro-. mising,"" and that the Chamber's idea of alternat- ing the home and recreation shows will probably be adopted.

The objective designat- ed to the Port Perry Branch this year was $4,500, a figure _ passed by almost $3,000. The local campaign work- ers did 'a similar job last year, when they surpassed their targed by over 50 per- cent in the annual April campaign.

An exploratory. letter "beforé council Monday night from the federal service said the 'proposed institution is part of the service's plans to construct a number of small penitentiaries to be located in various locations within the region. "In this regard," the letter states, "we wish to locate one of these institutions in your township." Benefits to the township of having such an institution in the area include a capital cost of between $8 and $10 million and a staff employ- ment of between 150 and 180.
