Hi there: Nowadaye when someone asks, 1"What's up?" the answer is usually everything.- A man in front of me at the butcher's shoip the other day looked at bis bill and exclaimed; "No, no - you've got it wrongl1 1 or-' dered arolled roast, nlot a Rolls-Royce.". BROOKLIN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY The Brooklin Horticultural Society'secivic beauti- fication committee under the direction of Veromeca Colangelo has completed plantings in and around Brooklin at Grass Park, the library, the post~ office, the Kinsmen Park entrance and Meadowcrest Seho.- Baskets and barrels were planted along Baldwin Street, and baskets were hung at the Carson Center. Existing concrete barrels were planted at the b ank, Joe's Pizza, the United Church and Short's 'D rug Store. The legion has had a welcome face lift in the way of an especially attractive landscaped planting by Ken Brown. Aspecial thanks goes out to the Junior Garden. Club, who, with Vale rie Hundert's guidance were invaluable in getting the job done. The children worked right along with the adulte and it was an en- joyable experience for ail. The society looks for- ward to încreased participation by the juniors in thé future. Meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of each Between Youa-nd Me w m w w By RUTH COLESý. The health of a democratic society may be, measured by the quality of functions per- formed by private citizens. Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-2859), For many generations people bave given of them- selves, their energy, money and time to make the world .a better place to be. 0f t n times without recognition and certainly without monetary reward, people carried on over the years and passed these values on to their offspring. As with many of our traditions this concept of life je fast fading away. Like many other thinge it's a vicioue cîrcle; "l"l do my thing and you do yours. " This means, "someone else can take over (often at great monetary cost) while I do my thing. " 1Many of our hospitals and other institutions were built with mones- given or bequeathed by indivi- duals who often lef t endowmente to help defray the coste over the years. This today can be a- touchy subject with output from ail sides when it je euggeet- ed the-name of the donor be used. And so I say why not? Why shouldn't a family name be used when millions are bequeathed say to, build a 'music place" or an art gallery. What je in a name? By allowing thie to happen it may be a gracioue way of eaying, "thank you" from a great metropolitan cen- tre for generations to corne. So this bringe us to the Peter Perry Award on July 22, 1982. It ail began in 1955, when Judge John E. Pritchard gave a speech at the Centennial Celebra- tions. He talked of the contribution made by Peter Perry and then asked, "are there any Peter Perrys living in Whitby today?" and then he answered hie own question, "Iyes, there are many Peter Perrys in Whitby today."l'l The end resuit of this speech was that'the Whitby Chamber of Commerce came up with the idea of the Peter Perry Award to be given to an outetanding citizen in our town. A great number of people contribute to the well being of others in the community without pay and with littie or no recognition and this je the way they want it. But, at the came time it je important for in- dividuals to feel what they are doing is worth while and appreciated. The Peter Perry Award given on a regular basis gives thecommunity spirit and bringe the commu- nity together. The historical connotation of the award 'perpe- tuates the memory of a man who made great contri- butions years ago. Ini many cases the contributions are much greater than generally realized and our part'0f the world would be a much poorer place to live in without them. month (except July) at 8:30 p.m. in Brooklin United Church.*' The Auguet 25 meeting should prove most interesting. ,It is entitled ".Stewing it upý with Mel (Hundert) and.
