Most parents are reluctant about sending small children down town Hallowe'en night Oct. 31 and this is no doub' justified when one recalls the "Booby-Trap" treats of a cou- ple of years ago, when razor blades and needles were found in apples and candy, not to forget all the vandaliem and | trouble of last year However boxes will be placed in all school rooms in the R.H.

Porter, Port Perry and Mr. Bill-Te Vructe, a represent- ative of M. Lang Real Estate. Mr. Porter said it is amaz- ing the number of people leav- ing Port Perry to shop in Oshawa and Whitby. "If a plaza with a major' grocery store were built here much of the business going out of town would stay here', he said. Mr. TeVruchte said he rea- lized they would have to go to a planning board meeting, and have the area rezoned, to proceed, but he wanted to get the feeling of council be- fore anv money was spent. "It looks fine in principal, and I'm not opposed to it," said Deputy-Reeve Bruce Beare. The area to be developed is a section of land owned Accepts Tender From J.

Mr. TeVruchte said "We will give Port Perry merchants first chance to relocate in the plaza, and then introduce new business with remaining stores." Reeve Robert Kenny said that he would go along with the Proposal, as he could see nothing wrong with it. A Sunnybrook or Miracle Shopping Plaza For Port Perry | Mart grocery store were men- tioned as the type of business to be introduced to the plaza, but Mr. Te Vruchte did not feel that Sunnybrook would be interested as they already re- ceived a large amount of bus- iness from Port Perry. Councilor Joe Poderes felt that it was time something of this sort was built in Port Perry. The shopping plaza pro- posal will come before a plan- ning board meeting sometime in the near future to decide its fate. _ CENTENIAL CELEBRATIONS At a meeting of Port Perry Chamber of Commerce some time in September a suggestion was made to develop a recre- ation area adjacent to the Ball Park as a Centennial project.
