Boy Scout New After a welcome summer vacation a new Scouting season was opened with the Group Committee meeting at the Scout Hall. Representatives were present from the Girl Guides Assoc. Guide leaders, Scout Mothers Auxili- ary and Scout leaders. Unanimous recognition of our need for more space in which to accommo- date the increase in Guide and Scout rolls gives rise to a financial cam- paign which will likely get under way in the near future. ; One Guide troop is"now meeting at the Church of the Ascension and a new Scout troop to be formed about the new year will meet at the High School. We are fortunate and grate- ful ,to have this temporary accommo- dation. .. The Scout Hall with its equipment has become such a part of Scouting and Guiding that no other meeting place seems to create the atmosphere required to gain the best results, ac- cording to the information from lead- "ers. It is at present thought to be more economical to our sponsors "The People of Port Perry" to have the Scout hall serve both boys and girls rather than have a separate meeting place for each, We are trying to at- tain & high degree of efficiency by so doing but an extension to the pre- sent building will undoubtedly be very expensive. Please consider us in your budget for some time to come. Everyone benefits from good Guide and Scout training. Your Group Committee.

We are sorry to report that Mr, S. Wootton, National Film Board repre- sentative for this territory, has re- he will study for the ministry, In his place will be Mr. Bert Anderson from Ottawa, who will cover the Peterboro area, included in which is Port Perry, Markham and Claremont districts. Since the spring of the year, the film council has resolved itself into three independent operating units-- and equipment and finances have been broken down three ways so that each library operates on their own. Mr. Fred Wicks will supervise the Mark- ham Film Library, Mrs. Clare Keevil looks after the Claremont branch, and Mr. Frank (Bill) Baker oversees the Port Perry library. Interested persons or groups are in- vited to make application to join the film library, by paying a small annual memebrship fee for the use of films and projectors. The low fees do not begin to pay the operation of the film libraries, which is only possible by the fine co-operation of the librarians, who donate their time to promote this work in their communities. Fees are as follows: $15.00 per year for a one-room school, additional rooms $5.00 each. Organizations, churches or business firms may join for $15.00 per year. This small fee gives you the opportunity of viewing some b or 6 films each month during the circuit period, and includes the use of a sound projector and screen with- out additional charge. In addition, the film librarian will train an operator without additional cost. Where else could you get such a bargain as this? This works out to only about 50c. per film. Even families or individuals can become members at this low rate. If you are interested in getting on the film circuit, contact one of the above-mentioned film librarians with- Manchester Credit Union In the last two, weeks members have added eight thousand dollars.to their Manchester. Credit Union ac- counts proof sufficient that the credit union way to rural security is find- ing favor with Ontario county people both farmers and other residents. A few years ago the Hog Producets' Co-operative arranged that all people who had cheques issued by the organ- ization would get those cheques cash-' ed at par value. Last spring the Ontario County Federation of Agri- culture passed a resolution that a method be found for the cashing at: par of milk cheques nothing has been done about this at provincial level but the Manchester Credit Union has sol- ved the problem for farmers in the south end of Ont. county. Between the fifteenth and twentieth. of each month the Manchester Credit Union will | cash all Toronto cheques at par for their members proof again that by working together the farmers can find an answer to their problems. In the last month loans have been made to people within ten miles of Manchester for the purchase of real estate, a' tractor, a car, new furniture, to cover last years debts and to start a young woman on a nursing career. These very real needs covered by qur people are heartwarming for the directors and other personnel connected with the Credit Union. You are invited to use the Manches- ter Credit Union. If you are honest, a person of good character you will be welcomed and if there is some plan which you have which would fulfil your dreams of home or of an easier life farming borrow the money from the Manchester Credit Union. As long as you are here you know you will pay back the loan but if such should happen that death or disability should overtake you then the loan is cancelled for your family and besides your family would get double what- ever you had invested up te $2,000. : j that a total overall surface width of the road shall be 36 feet running from "nent 7A highway) across Union Ave. : Recently Married Mr.- and Mrs. John Franklin Trull are pictured following their marriage in Port Perry United Church on Aug. 10th.
