Jaycees promote civic involvement Ron McAllister, interim president of the newly formed Scugog Jaycees, urges the citizens of Port Perry and Scugog Township to make their wishes known regarding the future of Regional Government in Durham. The Jaycees have learned that there js to be a public meeting at the Muni- cipal Council Chambers in Port Perry on Wednesday, the 7th day of November, 1979, commencing at 7:30 p.m. for the purpose of seek- ing public input into pro- posed changes in the Provin- cial Act of Parliament which created the Region and gives it authority. Scugog Mayor Taylor is on the Committee hearing submissions. Sub- missions may be made ver- bally or in writing and peti- tions will be received. "The Jaycees have a long history of activity in promo- ting interest in governmen- tal affairs among the pub- lic," noted McAllister. 'Our government is supposed to be by the people for the people, but too often by the default of the people, it becomes government by the bureaucracy for what the bureaucrat thinks the people deserve. Here is a chance to have input into the form of our local government. In my opinion, anyone who defaults in expressing his or her view as to what powers the Region should have, should not be heard to complain later if the Regional set-up is not to his or her liking." -- OBITUARY -- ROSS ORVAL STRONG Ross was born in Purple Hill, son of the late Joseph and Rosena Strong.
