STRUGGLE The plans to expand the library services for the people of Scugog with either posal to construct a new building on municipal.. property on the Port Perry waterfront ran into objec- tions from some members of the public who felt that lake- front property should be turned into parkland, and the present library on Queen Street was built as a memorial to men killed in World War 1, and must remain there as a memorial.

The family sponsored by- the Reformed Church is made up of a mother, father, three children, ages four, three and two years and a grandmother. The Church has received no other infor- mation about the family. Although this family is the first to arrive in Scugog Township other church groups in Scugog have made applications to sponsor refu- gees from Viet Nam.

It could be very costly." If the guidelines are strict- ly enforced, "I'm afraid many of the local groups would just give up operating a booth because it wouldn't be worth the trouble for a couple of hundred dollars profit they make at a fair or carnival," he said. Dr. Watt said there are numerous health problems that can result if perishable food is not properly stored and prepared prior to serving. "I don't know why it is so tough to get this message across," he said. "If there was a serious outbreak of food poisoning, the first question people would ask is "where was the health unit?"

FL a < hy present building has become bogged down for two reasons: the flood potential of the property, and the fact that amendments would have to be made to the zoning by-law to relax the side-yard requirements and the number of parking spaces that would have to be provided. Mr. Preston said that as well as seeking further information on the flood potential, the Library Board is going ahead with its appli- cations to the local Commit- tee of Adjustment to ease the sideyard and parking restrictions. '"The applications have been filed, and I understand that they will be on the agenda when the Committee of Adjustment meets again on September 25," said Mr. Preston. Stressing that the Library Board is still committed to an expansion of services, Mr. Preston said that if an addition cannot be built because of the flood poten- tial, or the Committee of Adjustments turns down the applications, the Board is now working on an alter- native proposal, and the fund raising committee is pro- ceeding with plans to raise up to $100,000 from public subscription.

Despite these obstacles the Library Board feels that improved and expanded services are necessary to meet the needs of the grow- ing population in Scugog Township.
