'9 His wife and neighbours see- ing Leslie Third, apparently in his usual health, start cutting his lawn on Monday morning, August 4, found it 'hard to believe that he would succumb. to a heart seizure before the job was complet- ed. 'Leslie Third was one of the six member family of the late Mr, and Mrs. Albert Third. He was born in 1908 in Scarborough where he spent practically all of his active years. As was usual in those days, he received his education in the local school (Westford), and almost immediately went to work. His first job as with Peter Ross; the ~~ mover. After his marriage to Miss Rhea Dodd in 1932, he worked a retail milk route for "a, time, then changed to road-building with the Jupp Construction Co., and still later, acted as truck driver in road building and mainten- --ance- for -what--was then Markham TownsHip.

A call for a conservation authority to control "Sinister Creek' and other bodies of water which: feed into the Lake was heard at a recent Lindsay Council meeting, fol- lowing complaints of an objectionable odour arising from "Sinister Creek'. Lindsay Councillor Rhys' and Brad Finley, with three nephews, Bill Third, Hugh Blain and Jim Stiver, acted "as pallbearers at the burial in Ebenezer Cemetery. -- Williams of the council's Pollution Control Committee pointed to conditions encountered when divers were called in following a drowning. He said the reports lent emphasis to what he has been saying for years -about the deteriorating con- dition of both the lake and the river. Of main concern to the council is a three-phase plan study by Durhaff#Region and Scugog Township that would expand the water and sewer under joint riaogion and ~ system in the Port Perry- Prince Albert to serve an area population of about 14,000. : - a The plan depends on the unproving ability of the Non- quon River to handle run-off from sewage lagoons serving that population, and on the' region successfully locating a total of wells with enough public water for such growth. The plan depends on the ability of the Nonquon to take more sewer plant effluent. Port Perry's present sewage is treatea by pumping sew- age from the Water Street pumping station to two lagoons near the 8th Conces- sion of Reach. Twice a year, water from the lagoons is released into the river which feeds into Lake Scugog. It is not known how much lagoon water the river can take each year without endangering the environ- ment. ; Coun. Williams declared that 'problems connected with the water supply source were mounting every day, . and that developments along every little brook and s'ream should be protested to the ministry. He noted that plans were now afoot to develop a whole new community (the Port Perry-Prince Albert study) and have the effluent" from its sewage lagoon system funnel into the Non- quon River, a piver in name only, according to Mr. Williams, but actually only a brook. The discussionresultedina Lindsay council decision to form a committee for a new study of a conservation authority inthis area.
