"an 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Aug. 27, 1975 . AAAALRVEOFE AURTR as? ee Lo h WE EA NEE want 3 \ SE BORE RICIRAEAT AOS SAREE L WA tH STON IN Black and White Show main feature Organizers expect capa- city crowds again this year for the Port Perry Fair, Monday, September 1 at the Port Perry fairgrounds. Everything from Heavy Horse shows. to 4-H Dairy club exhibits will make the fair a uniquely agricultural event, with something for all ages and interests. The Holstein cattle show, of course, will be held again this year, with more stabling facilities made possible by a newly-completed 25 per cent addition to the Holstein barn. The fair's Holstein show has gained a considerable reputation for €xcellence and now stands as the largest of Class B and C fairs in the province. A combination of a very active county Holstein club, active fair board directors, and good prizes is given as the reason for the success here.' : For example, points out Port Perry Agricultural Society secretary-treasurer Glenn Wanamaker, there were 83 entries at the Toronto National Exhibition's Black and White show last year. There were 132 entries at last year's Port Perry Fair Black and White event. But the idea isn't to glorify one aspect of the fair, said Mr. Wanamaker, pointing to expanding women's exhibit, vegetable compet- itions, and other exhibits and competitions. 'Burketon News Mrs. B. Greer, Oshawa visited with Mrs. E. Bryan on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. D. Gatchell, Brooklin were Sunday supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Stephenson, family and friends. Mrs. S.

Most of the people enjoyed the milking. contest between the Dairy Princess, 'Miss Nancy Knox and Mr. Deegan. Our Durham Coun- ty Princess was the winner. Congratulations to Mrs. M. Argue and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hodge and sons, Tom and John who have erected a new centennial sign at the entrance to their farm on the first concession of Cartwright Township. "We consider all compet- itors equally as important in putting on this fair." He said that the society was attempt- ing to retain the rural quality of the fair. Among the new events and exhibits planned for this year will be an * Antique Engine show. The fair has never had problems attracting com- mercial exhibitors, accord- ing to Mr. Wanamaker. He said that the opposite has been the case in past years, when some had to be turned away due to a lack of space. "We're allowing as many, as we can tuck away this year. We hope we won't have: to turn anyone away." While Uxbridge acts. . . Compiled following visits to six penitentiaries to ascer- tain and document the effect the institution hal on the nearby communities, the: Ballinger report found very little in the way of drawbacks "to the establishments of such a facility in the community. By means of a slide presen- tation, he not only outlined verbally, but showed Visually' what he found. From the man who pointed out the penitentiary as "the building with 'the beautiful flower arden and neatly trimmed lawn"' to the person who had moved because of the pen-to the other side of town, the Ballinger investi- gation found very little opposition to the penitentiar- ies, from Warkworth; Mill- haven, Collin's Bay to King- ston and Millbrook. Of the over two dozen people who lived and worked near the institutions he inter- viewed, only one or two appeared to be opposed to the penitentiaries. So favourable was the re- port, that Coun. Maustin McKnight cofildn't believe it . . . Scugog ing nomination. He said the main reason for his oppos- ition was that the peniten- tiary would not be in line with the community's asthetic values. He used the town hall restoration and the success- ful community effort to keep the old post office to make his point as the right measures to retain the asthetic nature of the community. Hesaid if the trend continues the commun- ity will become known more and more for theatre and the arts. ) A penitentiary would tend to work against this, Mr. Harvey felt. . He said that the passage of criminals through the area... a fact that would be well- publicized by the press... would tend to have a negative effect on the community. Mr. Harvey said while council "and other forces in the community" have paint- ed a very attractive financial picture, the figures have not been challenged by anyone. He said that from his exper- Editorial continued snob somewhere may decide not to launch his yacht in Lake Scugog or attend Town Hall Theatre because there is a penitentiary in the township. Who cares. Todeny, on those grounds, the many good career jobs to local people and the $100,000 to help on the tax bill by hard-pressed taxpayers is perhaps the most ridiculous thing we've heard yet. Mr. Harvey also states, that he's not convinced about the rosy financial picture penitentiary proponents paint. He's less definite about that one, though, showing no facts or figures but relying on "past experience with government." It is the rapists on the streets, hostages and hold-up: theory, that rumoured of pen-in-your-backyard reports that has resulted in the deplorable emotional atmos- phere in this township leading to a subsequent failure to attract a perfectly good industry to this community. We thi ik, Mr. Harvey, in attempting to avoid one reputatica, you are earning for the township another, more hi rmful one. when it was put before coun- cil last Thursday. So he and Coun. Mack Myers, the only two mem- bers of Uxbridge council who, voted in opposition, went to Warkworth to find out for: themselves. "They returned amazed, according to Mr. McKnight, with results very much sim- ilar to Mr. Ballinger's. Despite that fact, however, he said he'd vote against putting something beside a neighbour that he wouldn't like to have beside his home. He also feared a future government change in policy that would change the char- acter of the institution. It .was pointed out even before the vote on the resolu tion was taken, however, that even if it is affirmative, it does not mean it (the penitentiary) is a certainty. Uxbridge Mayor Carl Puter- bough pointed out that the project would have to go on with the ~ approvals of council. "'And if we can't get along with Ottawa, we can still get out," he said. debates : ience with dealing with government, things are never as rosy as they are on the surface. He suggested the figures forwarded by the peniten- tiary service and brought up by the Chamber of Com- merce and other forces be examined carefully. * James Catty, unable to attend the Tuesday meeting, was nominated by Vernon Asselstine who, along with the nomination, submitted a letter of acceptance signed by Mr. Catty. He described Mr. Catty as a man interested with the quality of life in the commun- ity and one who has taken an active part in the community since coming here three years ago. Meeting chairman Jeff Owen, before adjourning, warned those present against allowing themselves to become disinterested. 'The issue must be kept alive,"" he said. 4 Real Estate Prince Albert 100 years old, complete- ly restored, approx. 1800 sq. ft. on lot 86 x 164.
