And, unfortunately, the ongoing saga of highway carnage that marks the time of year. Take a drive out of Port Perry, Blackstock, Seagrave, or any community here on a Friday night, and venture onto one of the major roadways, and you'll see it all for yourself: Excessive speed, agressive driving, drinking, and general bone-headed behavior on the part of motorists.

I suggested that another public meeting be held to really survey the issue of the sale of the parkland and not just the upgrading of the fair- grounds. The meeting was called and was well attended. Mrs. Pearce was unable to attend since there was also an arena board meeting that night and since she had missed the three last meetings she felt that she should attend this one.
