My family has lived beside the park for the past eight years and has had a first hand view of the many activities which take place there during the summer months. I'm sure that most of us are aware that hundreds of children (and their parents) use this facility every year. Not to mention the "out-of- towners" who come yearly to enjoy the park and Port Perry. Everything from public school class parties to church picnics are held here every year. I suppose this is why I, and so many others were dis- appointed to here that the town was not willing to support this facility to keep it open. - hard at I honestly feel that Port Perry is losing something very valuable when this park closes and it will be ~ sadly missed by the kids who will now have to go across town to swim. I am sure there are also many people who would like to thank the Bairds for the many years they worked keeping this beautiful park open. They too will be sadly missed. I sincerely hope that the council has made the right decision in not backing the park and I also hope that in the future we have enough foresight to see that a growing town must grow in al ways - including recreation. Yours very truly, Kathy Smith Port Perry Parents concerned Dear Sir, This letter is written in reference to last weeks article on the "Pojlar Park Pool Shut Down." As parents of children who use this park we are con- cerned about it's closing. Our only other town park is too far for our children to go to and the 7A highway is too dangerous for them to cross without a crossing guard. It should be noted that our Prince Albert neighbours also use this park. The children can safely ride to Poplar but parents could not let them ride to Birdseye Park or the lake front with a feeling of confidence. With (Turn to page 6) 1961 Pasture Competition Committee. . THE KING AND DI . Buckingham Palace, the British House of Commons and the Foreign Service are in more than a bit of a tizzy over the chance that a West German mag will (gasp) make public a series of phone calls_between Prince Charles and his bride-to-be Lady Diana Spencer, or Lady Di as she has come to be known. The mere though is utterly shocking. The Queen Mom has reportedly gone into seclusion until the affair blows over. Princess Ann says the whole thing is almost as boring as being pregnant. She adds that if the mag does publish the phone calls, it won't stop her from riding her horse whenever she pleases. . An official Palace spokesman for Her Majesty and Prince Philip says that if the tapes indeed are genuine, the swine responsible for such a dastardly deed should be drawn and quartered in the Tower of London. Princess Margaret is reported to be slightly amused by the affair, and is quoted in a Fleet Street tabloid as saying she wishes somebody would publish her telephone conver- sations. ~ Prince Andrew is attending an exclusive private school in the Eastern Himalayas and could not be reached for comment, He is learning to free fall down the south face of Mt. Everest. Lady Diana's parents, already deeply dismayed at all the publicity surrounding the Royal wedding, have cancelled luncheon engagements with American tourists until further notice. Just what did the Prince and Lady Di say over the phone between Australia and England that has caused such an uproar among members of the Royal Family? Since all kinds of law suits, injunetions and the like are being promised, we may never know. But likely the conversations went something like this. - PRINCE: That you, Di? It's me, Charlie. LADY DI: Charles: How wonderful to hear your voice. We must have a bad connection. Can you speak a little louder. PRINCE: What? : LADY DI: Speak up, you silly 76Y,&?$! . PRINCE: Turn the 7&!$744 stereo down. (Pause). That's better, right? 2 LADY DI: Much better. How are things in Australia? PRINCE: Oh, you know, Same old stuff. Lunch with the governor; opened a couple of day care centres; toured the opera house; went for a ride in a helicopter to the outback; played polo twice and went for a swim. All a bit of a bore. Cr otter DOX by John B. McClelland LADY DI: You poor dear. Can't you come home, soon? PRINCE: 'Fraid not. Duty, responsibility, and all that. ~ I've never seen so many kangaroos. Bloody country is full of them, even the streets of Sydney. Must be damn careful - where one steps. : LADY DI: How ghastly. Did you pack enough clean socks? PRINCE: Yes, but I've positively ruined two pair of shoes. I'm afraid I'll be forced to wear sneakers to a command performance of the ballet this evening. Do you think anyone will notice? : LADY DI: Not if you wear your blue suit, The trousers are a tad long, anyway. PRINCE: Good idea. By the way. Did you see the news photo of me falling off my horse? LADY DI: Yes. It made the front page of all the papers in London. Charles, I'm worried about you always falling off those silly horses. Ido wish you'd give up polo, at least until after the wedding. . PRINCE: Not a chance, Di. LADY DI: Well then, maybe some riding lessons. I could arrange them and you could start the minute you come home. PRINCE: There is nothing wrong with the way I ride. It's these damn Australian horses. They're a bit on the frisky side. i LADY DI: Are you getting lots of rest? PRINCE: I am. LADY DI: What about the water? I hope you're not drinking the water. PRINCE: I'm not. But I'm getting tired of this dreadful Australian beer. It is quite second rate. LADY DI: I hope you're not forgetting to take your prunes every day. Are you taking your prunes? PRINCE: Yes, dear. . LADY DI: I miss you, Charles. PRINCE: I miss you, too. LADY DI: I was just getting ready for my bath when you phoned. I'm sitting here without ..... PRINCE: That's quite enough, Lady Diana. This is a party line and somebody could be listening. LADY DI: Who would want to listen to us? PRINCE: You never know. One can't be too cautious these days. LADY DI: Oh, all right. ! PRINCE: I've got some news. LADY DI: What is it? PRINCE: Right after the wedding we'll be off on a Royal tour of Canada. Isn't that exciting? v LADY DI: Canada? Willit be winter there? Should I pack my woolies? PRINCE: Of course not. It's winter in Australia. And when it's winter here it's summer in Canada. LADY DI: That's a relief. PRINCE: Got to go now, Di. LADY DI: So soon? PRINCE: 'Fraid so. I've got a polo match. LADY DI: Do be careful. PRINCE: I will. Bye, Di. LADY DL: (Sigh) Bye Charles. Call me tomorrow night? PRINCE: OK (click). So that's what the future King of England and his fiance talk about long distance. Princess Ann is right. It is almost as boring as being pregnant. -- A port perry star Rh Company Limited ao ns Phone 985-7383 Sam, Serving the Township of Scugog J.PETER HVIDSTEN Publisher Advertising Manager J. B.
