_ @alibre rifle - passed clean 'Aa it wes, Mr, Lonely man- through his body and narrowly aged to crawl home and was missed his spine rushed to the veterinary Volume 105 -- Port Perry, Ontario, Thursday, October 15, 1970 -- Number 50 Beare Bows Out After says he will not seek re-elect- ion. Mr. Beare, who has served nine years on council, four of them as deputy-reeve, says hefty council workload and County Council duties are the main reasons for him bow- ing out. The deputy-reeve says there's an outside chance he may accept nomination for a councillor but this is remote. A strong contender for Mr. Goode To Seek Second Term On School Gordon Goode, incumbent trustee representing Port Per- ry, Seugog and East Whitby on the Ontario County School Board, will seek re-election. The election this year co- incides with the municipal vote on Dec. 7. Nomination night Nov. 25 will also be the same Mr. Goode says the main reason he's standing again is that he would like to see finalized a number of unfin- ished projects in which he is involved He gives as an example the proposed new school at the R.H. Cornish School. This is a new tnit which will be attached to the existing school and is simed at filling the gap in senior elementary edu- cation. Mr. Goode is now complet- ing his first two-year term on the new county board. Pre- vious to that he was on the R. H. Cornish Schoo! Board for eight years and was chairman at the time of amalgamation. The imeumbent says he like most of his colleagues on the board will be running agein this year because they are interested in the work. "The existing board has been a very good working one and we've had other boards from across the Province visit us to see how we're operat- ing," he said Mr Goode says that being a trustee has been time con- suming. At « minimum he spends 16 hours « week con ducting business connected > GORDON GOODE Mr. Goode assists his father im the operation of a soft drink business in Port Perry Two other candidates, who ran in the 1968 election, J Lister Robinson of East Whit- by and W. Howard Hall of Port Perry, told The Star that as yet they haven't de- cided on whether to run again or not. Beare's post may be Coun. Phil Orde. Mr. Orde has not been available for comment, since he is vacationing in Europe, but as a senior councillor it is likely he would step up a notch if he decides to run. So far the only declared candidates in the election are Reeve Robert Kenny, Coun. doe Podres and newcomer Jack Forster. As it stands now, Mr Kenny could be returned by acclamation. His only opponent in the election, Mr. J.J. Gibson told The Star he had "no com- it" to make when asked if he would be in the race this year Mr. Gibson had been reeve of the Village when he was defeated at the polls. Coun. Joe Podres, who is completing his rookie term on 'council, hopes to make a greater contribution this time having gained considerable "experience" in his first term. Coun. Ken Jackson is con- tinuing to remain silent on his election plans. 1,700 Elegible Te Vote Here Figures released by Clerk treasurer John Raines show that there will be 1,700 ele- gible voters in this year's mun- icipal election In the 1968 election there was 1,812 elgible voters and only 962 turned out at the polls. This tepresented a voter turn-out of only %53.17 There were four candidates seeking three seats in that election. In 1966 election there was 1,526 elegible voters and only 551 cast ballots for a voter turn-out of %36.10 Duck THE strike against General Motors is now in its fifth week with the end still not in sight. It has begun to bite deeply into the savings of some while others are taking the strike in stride. Merchants contacted by The Star report a mixed re- action but in most cases are not yet feeling the strain. Some businessmen report that sales are down while a few say sales are up. And it seems that those who are buy- ing are paying for their mer- chandise in cash instead of seeking for credit. A.W. Brock of Brock's De- partment store says he hasn't noticed any difference in sales yet. He said he found the strike of '55 had very little effect on business so he doesn't ex- pect this one will until some- thing unusual occurs John Ballard of Ballard Lumber says that if anything sales have picked up and there Continued on page 15 Wrong Figure The expansion of Flamin- go Pastries plant will cost an estimated $360,000 not $136,000 as reported last week in The Star Police Find Bogus Bills Oshawa police reported this week that three bogus $10 bills have turned up ih the city recently and that quite a few more have been found in Oshawa and area municipalitites since January The serial numbers of the counterfeit bills are as follow Canadian $10 bills: R-E 4716499; T-E 8621081: R-E 6911078; SE 584121; T-E 4414836; T-E 7458704; P-T 0078131; R-E 2951993; P-T 0511505; W-E 3587399 Canadian $20 bills: P-T 0078131; S-E 2511936; T-E 441114836, L-£0049072:W-E 3866565; R-E 1344492 U.S. $20 bills: B1 838064 A; B18342916A; B08407891 A treiver and is now about 2% years old Needless to say the Ruther- fords are upset about someone shooting their pet but more so because didn't even look to see what he was shooting."

Mr. Malcolm has been reeve for the past three years and is the first of his council to declare his intentions to run again Nomination night in Cart- wright will be held Nov. 27 in the municipal office. Can- didates will be nominated for all council positions including one position on the Northum- berland Durham County School Board Mr. Malcolm says perhaps the biggest project his council has accomplished this year is the construction of a new fire hall at Caesarea In 1969, council completed revamping of the township's building and land use bylaws and the same year had cement work at the arena finished LAWRENCE MALCOLM "Its now easier and quicker to flood the rink," explains Mr. Malcolm Coun, Vernon Asselstine told The Star he is not ready to make an announce ment about his Other council members were unavailable for comment intentions Wolves Killing Sheep In Reach Little Red Ridin' Hood may have escaped but the Big Bad Wolf ia giving sheep in Reach Township a rough time of it Frank Gibson, bylaw en forcement officer, says the number of sheep killing in cidents in the township has increased significantly in past few months and he fears it will even get worse The worsening of the sit vation will occur, he main- tains, if wildlife groups suc ceed in getting the County to remove the $35 bounty on wolves "We're having a problem now and if the bounty is removed the situation will get worse the wolves will mul tiply even more," he said The bylaw enforcement officer cites as an example the case of Hardy Noble who raised sheep at Victoria Cor ners. The killing of his sheep by wolves got so bad he was forced out of business, claims Mr. Gibson Statistics from Ontario County reveal that last year $1,505 was paid out in wolf bounties. The figure up to Sept. 1 this year is already at $1,860 Bounty paid for foxes stands at $320 although none was paid up to May 1 of the year In Durham, county author ities paid out $4,175 in wolf bounty during 1969. Up to Aug. 30 this year the figure stands at $2,775.
