A friend of mine, who now resides in Uxbridge, Maureen Coxworth, also celebrated a special birthday on May 8 and if my memory serves me correctly I think her mother Fern Tobin will be having a birth- day very soon as well. Best wishes to each of you!

Tragedy has once again struck the home of Jack and Marion Barnett of Uxbridge. Earlier this winter the Barnett's lost their youngest son in a snowmobile accident not far from their home and then late this week their oldest son lost his life in a tragic accident involvingan A.T.V. near Columbus. Marion is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Couch and they were Seagrave area residents for many years. The com- munity joins in extending our deepest sympathy to this grief- strickened family as they begin to try to piece together their lives after this latest staggering blow. Many thanks to everyone who has called to inquire about my fathers condition following his accident last Friday. I'm happy to report that he was discharged from the hospital on Thursday and is resting comfor- tably at home, recuperating from his surgery and very grateful to be alive. oo We are also pleased to note that Mr. Hugh Strong js back home once again following a short stay in the | Port Perry Hospital.

The Board of Stewards wish to ad- - vise folks in this area that they will be conducting their annual canvas for funds during the month of May and your support to this worthy cause will be sincerely appreciated. As we are only a small communi- ty we do not have the financial viability to support a Community Centre as well as our church. As a compromise the church graciously allows many groups and organiza- tions to use their facilities whenever necessary unfortunately the funds received on the collection plate and the donations from the various groups do not totally offset the debit side of the ledger. When a canvasser calls please be generous. Next Sunday our High School Youth Group will be taking charge of our church service. Please plah -to attend. Service begins at 9:30 a.m. This Sunday forty new hymn books were presented to the Seagrave United Church in loving memory of Lloyd Currie, Michael Wray, Ida Wray and Quinderia Lee Puckrin.

Ont. property rights should be entrenched Ontario's residents overwhelm- ingly want property rights entren- ched in the Constitution says a Gallup Poll commissioned by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). The poll, conducted March 23-28, 1987, reports that 80 percent of On- tario's residents support the concept of entrenched property rights in the Canadian Constitution. The same report shows that 79 percent feel that native rights in the Constitution - are important and only 66 percent feel that Quebec's participation is a priority. Since property. rights were first eliminated from the Constitution debate in the early 1980's, the On- tario 'Real Estate Association has led the fight to amend Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to reflect constitutional protection for property rights. The pertinent section would then read: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property and the right not to be deprived thereof ex- cept in accordance with the prin- ciples of fundamental justice" (pro- posed change underlined). The amendment is supported by New Brunswick, British Columbia, the Yukon, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, thé Canadian Bar Hearing c Aid Centre ¢f Port Perry Dr E Mueller's Office 24 Water St S. . - * Plaza, Port Perry, Ontario LOB INO Association, and the Canadian Real Estate Association, In Ontario, the Legislature voted 44-20 to endorse that amendment in November 1986 on a resolution in- troduced by Herb Epp MPP (L- Waterloo North) and supported by Cam Jackson MPP (PC-Burlington South). In a statement, OREA, President Frank Reardon called the Gallup findings a "significant step forward "in the battle to preserve and en- trench property rights. It shows that the people of Ontario and.' we. suspect, the people of Canada view their property rights as extremely important and worthy of the highest priority by governments at all levels." He called on Premier David Peterson to act swiftly on the stand taken by the Ontario Legislature last Fall and, coupled with the Gallup information, press the federal government to proceed with a constitutional amendment entren- ching property rights. : The Ontario Real Estate Associa- tion is an organization representing more than 38,000 brokers and sales people in 48 local real estate boards across the province. Founded in 1922, OREA represents more than 53 percentf all organized real estate 'personnel in Canada.
