"Billboard city", "Palmer Park", "Posters" all rolled up in one. Have you noticed the "garbage dump" which has sprung up along the highway (12) a mile and a half north of Manchester on the west Kidney clarification To The Editor: Once again The Kidney Foun- dation of Canada, Toronto & District Chapter, has received calls from people who believe that when 1,000 pop can tabs are given . to The Foundation, a dialysis pa- - tient will receive one hour of free dialysis. THIS IS NOT SO. In Canada, dialysis (a blood cleansing treatment) is covered by provincial medical plans, therefore does not require any support projects. Furthermore, soft drink manufacturers advise us that they do not endorse any pop tab reimbursement programs, because pop tabs are not made to be removed and to do so may be dangerous. : We do thank your readers for their interest in supporting The Kidney Foundation of Canada, and wish to inform them that there are many other ways to assist The Foundation in the search for a cure for kidney disease and related disorders. Volunteers are needed for one evening once a year for the March door-to-door Campaign; for a few hours once a year for the September/October Peanut Cam- paign; for a few mornings, after- noons, evenings, for informa- tional displays; and for a few hours every month or week to fulfill a variety of other duties. For further information, the Toronto & District Chapter may be contacted by calling 445-0373. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Augene Nanning, Public Relations Co-ordinator Kidney Foundation. side? I thought Durham Region had said no to Toronto garbage being dumped in our area but ap- parently this is not so when it is trucked out from Toronto and dumped in the middle of the night. There is no teeter totter there to injure a child but there are old abandoned refrigerators with the doors on.that could cause the death of a child. The "condemned" poster (sign) was taken down when the house burned down but that has not stdpped people living in a cement block building on the property that is less fit for human habita- tion than the house was. What a '"'bleep, bleep", ugly mess! Patricia J. Lovering, R.R. 1, Port Perry. Garbage an eyesore (From page 7) why one of these services wasn't doing something about it. Having nothing to do with these people, didn't stop one from enter- ing our home at four in the morn- ing through the basement win- dow. Upsetting my wife, scaring the children, and ending up in a scuffle with myself has left us wondering as a family how could this happen in Scugog Township! Luckily, no one was seriously hurt, only stiff, bruised and emo- tionally upset, still wondering why something isn't being done. The police found the intruder next door, hiding, and took him away in the cruiser. The other two or three that are still there, I don't know about, but being of the opi- nion that birds of a feather flock together, has left me wondering what is going to happen next. Writing this has made me wonder why something wasn't done before all this happened. As a person who lives and works in this township, I hope no one has to go through this experience. This all started out as a letter to the editor about a beef and ended up in a situation that is hard to ex- plain to my children. Where do I turn next because this property is only one mile from Port Perry and I'm sure more interest may have been taken if it was closer! BEWILDERED TAXPAYER, Mark Lovering, R.R.1, Port Perry.

Peter Hyvidsten Random Jottings STRIKING GOLD ist, knowing this, had inserted a suppository under the root of the animal's tail just before offering it for A few months back | mentioned in this column | was in the process of compiling a history of Port . Perry and Prince Albert's newspapers dating back to 1857. The project has now been underway for about eight months, and aside from a few isolated dating problems and one elusive publisher, it has gone rather well. From information obtained from micro-filmed records of old newspapers, the museum, libraries, and the Ontario Archives; piece by piece | have been able to compile a fairly accurate picture what newspapers published in the area, and who their pioneer publishers were. During all this time there has been one man who has escaped my hunt for as much detail as possi- . ble. It didn't seem to matter where | turned, there was little, or no record of the founding publisher of the Port Perry Standard (the for-runner of the Port Perry Star), Edward E. Mundy. It wasn't until May this year that | received a tip that would eventually lead me to this elusive man. That tip came by way of a letter from Allan McGilli- vary, curator of the Uxbridge-Scott Historical Socie- ty, whom | had confered with on a couple of occas- sion before receiving the letter. The letter simply stated that he (Mr. McGillvary) came upon in item in the Uxbridge Times-Journal mentioning that E. Mundy of Oshawa had retired and he had been with the Oshawa Reformer. He suggested that Mundy might have moved to . Oshawa from Port Perry and # he had died there, | might find his obituary in the Oshawa paper. Well, that tip sat dormant in my files for two months before | decided to take one day of my four day holiday and use it to do some research in Oshawa. That was last Wednesday, and that was the day | finally came face to face with a picture of Mr. Edward Mundy! You can't imagine the overwhelming surge of excitement that raced through my body as | turned the crank of the micro-film reader and came across a page with Mundy's picture staring back at me. | was so excited a let our a little scream of de- light, before remembering | was in the Oshawa Li- brary, so | quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching me. Fortunately there wasn't and my little outburst went all but un-noticed. I'm not going to deviuge any of the information here about Mr. Mundy, as it will all be contained in a special issue the Star will be publishing a few months from now, but there was one humerous story | thought worth printing. It goes as follows: "Mr. Edward Mundy was Chairman of the School Board on several occassions. His trips to Port Perry used up the horses pretty quickly, and he had many encounters with horse traders, often having poor animals foisted on him. An incident of this kind occurred in a trade with a Bowmanville druggist, a prominent Baptist, as was Mr. Mundy. The latter always demanded a lot of spir- it and action in any horse he bought and the drugg- L inspection to Mundy, who was delighted with the activity the horse showed, especially in the hind legs. . Edward Mundy acquired the beast, and it was on his next journey north that he discovered his paragon to be just an ordinary plug." This interesting story came from a book entitled Reminiscences and Recollections by Dr. D.S. Hoig, dated Oshawa 1933. In my quest to locate any information about Ed- ward Mundy, there have been many people who have been of assistance. Some, although not able to help with information, were still interested enough to offer their help by giving me new leads to follow-up. | would like to take some of this space to thank these people for their assistance in helping me lo- cate the "elusive" Mr. Edward Mundy. Mr. Allan McGillivary for the lead that sent me packing off to Oshawa. Mr. Brian Winter of the Whitby Archives who spent some time researching my request and who gave me the lead which eventually lead to the pho- to of Mr. Mundy. Mrs. Marg. Jackson, Education and Extension Curatorial Assistant at the Robert McLaughlin Gal- lery. Mr. Len Green, of Scugog Shores Museum. Thank you all for your interest and help in my quest for this treasure of information.
