The original proposal of $2.25 for maintenance operators, truck drivers $1.95 and casual labour $1.70 per hour was accepted by the workmen when an additional offer of time and one-half for all overtime worked over nine hours was given the employees. An old town shed on Mary Street, Port Perry, collapsed last week under the weight of the last snowfall. The shed was used to store a town tractor and other material used for maintenance of various works depart- ments in Port Perry. Kevin Willis of Port Perry was the lucky winner of a week of free hockey training at a hockey school in Bowmanville, operated by Dick Gamble. This draw took place at the Pee Wee Tournament held-in Port Perry which was sponsored by Mr. Gamble. have visitors twice a week. Everything in the institution is geared towards helping the inmate. I think the correctional officers, and the institution itself received a very unjust and severe setback. These men have a very tedious job, but they handle it profession- ally. I think it is about time they got a little recognition for their achievements instead of being slandered all the time. I don't want this to sound like we had a picnic there, because Jail is never a nice place to be.

It was brought to the atten- tion of the members present, (almost 100 percent) that three communities in this part of Ontario are anxious to have the Choral Society give performances of the Merry Widow. It was left to the executive ta look into this matter and find a solution to comply with the requests. The communities in question are Whitby, Cannington and , Woodbridge. The members of the 1978 executive presented by the nominating committee went in by acclamation and are as follows: President -- Larry Kendall; Vice President - Jack Dowson; Secretary - Bobbie Drew; Treasurer - Debbie Egan; Social - Hennie Jackson and Jean- nette Ross; Phoning - Velma Giannini; Librarian and Membership - Linda Sulli- van; Advertising and public- ity - Per Hvidsten and Kent Farndale; Historian - Zula Hall.
