McClelland Editorial Comment Home owners seeking shelter Neighbors of a golf course north of Port Perry find themselves in an unenviable position. While they must enjoy the lush green and open spaces of the Canterbury Common golf course, they're subjected to what they say is a barrage of incoming golf balls they consider to be both a danger and a nuisance. They say a four-foot chain link fence erected along the course perimeter provides no protection from golf balls or barrier for privacy, and they want something more effective put in place. What makes their argument compelling is the fact that the golf course was built after they had taken up residency in their "homes; it's not as if they had moved in next to an established course and began belly- aching about slices landing in their gardens. Although the fencing that's in place may fulfill site plan and legal obligations, it would behoove the owners of the golf course to attempt to appease their neighbors now. And it would look good on the township council to respond to the concerns of the residents, who are only asking for something that would allow them to safely enjoy the privacy of their back yards. Surely the township's influence could help bring about a solution. It's a nice golf course; some dialogue could make it even better. RuT SIR! IT'S JUST AS WE PROMISED -- LOVELY HOMES INA COUNTRY SETTING WITH ALL THE GOLF You CAN HANDLE!

For 50 years the generous people of this area have contributed to the Canadian Cancer Society, and this past spring was no exception. The evidence is now in: Daffodil Days raised over $43,000; the residential door-to-door campaign is over $180,000, and growing. Thank you, Oshawa, Clarington, and Scugog. And a special thanks to those hun- dreds of volunteers who make it all happen: the canvassers, who have the courage to ask, the captains, who spend untold hours phoning TT ps i i i A Bx A ds Port Perry Post Office occupied this lot at the corner of Queen and John St. during the late 1800s and early 1900s. After the post office moved to it's new location, the ground floor was used by a library starting in Dec. 1916. ~ Following the demolition of KEW the old post office (left), the War Memorial Library was built on the site in 1935.

What a great team to have working in East Durham. They not only raise money for research and local services, they raise hope.
