He died in 1969.

The 1967 winner was Ron Hawkins, who received the award for bis work in St. John Ambulance, the Whitby Centennial Project Committee which restored the old court house as a c;ommunity centre, and his interest in soccer and basketball.

The Peter Perry winner for 1969 was Bill Nurse, for his work in the United Appeal and the Dr. J.O. Ruddy Hospital, of which he has served as chairman of the board. He was also one of the founders of Whitby Arts Incorporated and the Durham Region YMCA. There was no Peter Perry Award for 1970, but the award made its appearance again in 1971 with the winner being Edith Bedell, for her work over a. period of 20 years for the Red Cross, St. John Ambulance, Cancer Society and the Anglican Church. In 1972 the winner was Jack Woodward who as president of the Chamber of Commerce in 1966, started the County Town Carnival and served until 1975 as its General Chairman. He now serves as Executive Director of the Carnival. The 1973 Peter Perry was Brian Winter, archivist of the Whitby Historical Society, who established an archives for the town in 1968 and has collected historical documents and more than 2,000 old photographs of Whitby in the past i years. He responds to inquiries about history and genealogy in the Town of Whitby, and is Community Editor of the Free Press. He' writes a weekly column on "Historical Whitby" in the Free Press and shows the old photos of the town on a weekly Cable TV program called "Whitby Then and Now." For 1974, the Peter Perry Award winner was Carl Mantz, a founder of the Whitby Yacht Club and YMCA, and an active worker with senior citizens Mr. Mantz published the Whitby Weekly News from 1955 to 1967. The 1975 Peter Perry Award winner was Pat Wilcox, who contributed more than 13 years to the Scout and Guide movement in Whitby. The 1976 winner was Altamae Eberlee, who was involved in a host of organizations including Whitby Arts, the Oshawa- Whitby Social Planning Council and the Children's Aid Society. She organized Parents Anonymous to help prëvent child abuse. The 1977 Peter Perry was Gertrude Drew, who spent 40 years helping senior citizens with their shopping and laundry, is a member of the Whitby and Oshawa HistoricaloSocieties, the Dr. J.O. Ruddy Hospital Auxiliary, the Ontario Humane Society, and the Good Companions Senior Citiiens Club. For many years she has actively participated in Whitby's twinning with Longueuil, Quebec. These people, in many different ways have earned the bonor of being named Peter Perry of Whitby, the outstanding citizen of the town. Another question asked abôut the Peter Perry Award is how the recipient is chosen. The citizens of Whitby are given the opportunity to fill in ballots and mail them to the Whitby Chamber of Commerce office at 416 Centre Street South. They are given the opportunity to suggest a nominee and explain why this person deserves the award. 'the ballots are turned over to a committee of il judges, whose names are not revealed, and this panel of judges considers the nominations submitted. If the judges do not feel there is anyone among the nominees that is deserving of the award, they may select the winner themselves. The judges are carefully selected by the Chamber of Commerce to represent 11 aspects of community life, so there is a cross-section of representation on the committee. One judge represents each of the following occuptions: legal, municipal government, recreation, education, agriculture, labor, professional business, merchants, women's groups, small business and the-Jministry. Mere numbers of nominations for the same person will not necessarily sway the judges' decision. 'Their decision is based on the quality of the individuals they are considering. The Peter Perry Award for 1978 will be presented at the Official Opening of the County Town Carnival at Heydenshore Pavilion, Aug. 1. The chamber is hoping to receive a number of nominations this year, for the members believe there are many people in Whitby who are deserving of the Peter Perry Award, but have never been suitably recognized. Nomination forms are at all town banks, the Victoria and Grey Trust Company, the municipal building and public library. Deadline for submission to the chamber office is May 31. $1,000 fine for rolling back odometers A Whitby man was fined $1,000 or 60 days in jail last week in provincial court for rolling back the odometers on two automobiles.
