You have no doubt fallen for the hysterical posturing of certain members of the Fair Board who reportedly state that if we don't get this land we will lose the school. Name one municipality that has lost a school through their preser- _vative of parkland. We had occasion to survey forty- five residents of Port Perry living adjacent to the propsed land grab. They were unanimously opposed to this deal. We suggest you remove all the smoke and mirrors and examine this proposed in the clear light of day and you will find this proposal as odious as the majority of your fellow residents find it! Yours truly, The Committee to Save The Fairgrounds, Signed by: Bruce Cummings Earl Martyn Dr. Roger Holtby Harold Forder Murdo Mackenzie Neil Malcolm and Leslie Smith. Editor's Note: The Port Perry Star supported the sale of land for a new school in one editorial four weeks ago. We still support it. Not only will the community get a bad- ~ ly needed new school next year, the remainder of the Fairgrounds has development potential (53 lots) worth about $750,000. The sale to the School Board was unanimously en- dorsed by Township council. Chatterbox by Cathy Robb (From page 5) "I-I'm hungrey." He shrugged, and gestured to a small selection of Player's Plain, Export A and DuMaurier, the strongest cigarettes money can buy. "Uh, DuMaurier please," 1 mumbled. He handed me the package and I turned over three dollars. From somewhere in his apron he produced two quarters. His hand lingered in mine for an instant when he gave me the change and I felt an incredible sensation of mourning wash over me. He removed his fingers and the feeling vanished. "Thanks," I said. And left. Back in the secure circle of Rick and my boyfriend Doug, I told them of my experience. "Isn't that great?' Rick enthus- ed. 'You see what I mean? That would never happen in Port Perry." Nodding, I didn't know if that was a good thing, or not.
