Local Mill Rate Up - and Taxes fo be Paid Earlier this year Port Perry's mill rate has been in- creased by 6 mills on residential and 8 mills on commercial property. This increase is due in part to the raising of the teachers salaries to the equal 'of other schools in the area and in (§ ta to other 'expenses within the town. The constantly rising tax scale is in line with other municipalities gen- erally, and with the constant rise in wages all across the country. It is generally noticed that although a great deal of fuss is made about the increase in taxes whenever that oc- curs, an even greater fuss is made if the services of the town are not main. tained at a high level, or if the wages of the town's employees are not kept at a level comparable with other wor- kers in the area, In other words if we want paved roads and sidewalks, well lighted streets, if we want parks and schools, trees trimmed, water supplied,' fire protection and many other services which we take for granted we have to pay for thgm. of Minutes of a regular meeting of "Council of the Village. of Port Perry held in the Municipal Office on Wed- nesday, March 26th at 7.80 pm, Reeve J.

Gerrow was married to An- drew C. VanNest by the pastor Rev. W. T. Wickett. The bride was atten- ded by her sister Dora (Mrs. Wm. Nott) while Joseph Gerrow, the bride's brother, acted as best man. A lovely reception by relatives and friehds was given to the couple before leaving for British Columbia their first home, After four years they moved to a farm section near Rimbey, Alta. On January 12th, this year, the oc- casion of their Golden Annivefsary, they were honoured at their home by the children and grandchildren along with neighbours and friends of that community. Many lovely gifts were received, also cards and congratula- tions from many friends of the bride | 8chool, Rae Litt, Port | Perry High and groom In their early life. Wedding Seagrave United Church, tastefully decorated with baskets of Pink Gla- diolas, and white Mums was the scene of a very happy occasion, when Phyl- lis Claire, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Keen became the bride of Ira Bernard Standish, youngest son of Mr. Leon Standish and the late Mrs. Standish. The pastor Rev. E. McNeil officiated at the ceremony. Wedding music was provided by Mrs. J. Tobin, who also accompanied the Soloist, Mr. Ken Hallett when he sang "Because" before the ceremony and "0 Perfect Love" during the signing of the register. The bride; given in marriage by her father was becomingly attired in tra- ditional white. Her floor length gown of permanent pleated tulle over white satin and nylon lace, long sleeves with pearl neckline, her finger-tip veil was pleated into a tierra of pearls and se- quins, She carried a white Bible top- ped with Orchid & streamers of white ribbon knotted with American beauty Rosebuds, Attending the bride were Mrs. Dennis Tobin as matron of honour, with Mrs. Garth Bowes and Miss Mau- reen Tobin as bridesmaids. They were dressed in identical gowns of turquoise gem Organza fashioned in princess style, with filmy neckline, large bow at back of neck and panels reaching hemline. Their dainty hats with sequins and mittens were of mat- ching shade and each carried a cres- cent of white and pink carnations. Each wearing pearls and earrings the gift of the bride. The groom was supported by his brother Mr, Laird Standish of Port Perry, while the ushers were Mr. Ray Abraham, cousin of the bride and Mr, Ross Short, friend of the groom. The reception took place in church parlors, when Mrs. Keen received her guests dressed in a turquoise ensem- ble and white accessories, wearing a corsage of yellow rosebuds. About fifty guests from Toronto, Bolton, Concord, Cannington, Oshawa, Raglan, Port Perry and Seagrave partook of the wedding dinner pre-| pared by the ladies of the church, Later in the evening the happy couple left on an.extended wedding! tour, the bride travelling in a navy jacketed sheath with matching acces- | gories and carrying a red top coat. Mr. and Mrs. Standish will make] their home in Seagrave, ! --X-- Prior to the wedding the bride was guest of honour at several showers. On Feb. 18th her fellow workers in the office of G.M. in Oshawa en- tertained in her honour, Another shower arranged by Miss Elsie Harper and Mrs. D, Tobin was held at the home of Mrs, M. Belair, Port Perry, High School friends and close relatives were the guests. The Seagrave Community shower held on Feb. 27th at the school, pro- vided an enjoyable evening. Mr. Morley Bruce acted as master of cere- monies and started the program with a sing-song. This was followed by a reading by Glenn Wanamaker. A "Quiz" game entitled 'District Do- ings" was the next item. In it mem- bers of a panel were asked to identify incidents which had taken place in the community over a period of years. Thé M. C. then read an address to the young couple and the parcels were opened. Many beautiful and useful gifts were received at each of these show- ers. Pee-Wees Make Good Showing Our Pee-Wee Hockey Team in God- erich made a good showing by beat- ing Wingham 7-2, the team that put them out last year, and then losing out to New Hamburg 7-3. Port Goals -- Graham Powell--4; Dale McNenly--2; Bob Lee--1; B. Beare--~8. Port Perry outshot New Hamburg 28 to 18 but they just could- n't beat their goalie. Coaches are asked to get in touch with Harvey Thieves Active Again The more we see the work of the thieves in this area the more it ap- pears to be that they are local resi-. dents -- one could scarcely call then citizens, At least a local resident must be spying out the ground for them. . Monday night, once again the day that Chief Menzies was away, they attempted to crack the safe at the Brewers' Warehouse, Queen St. West. This time they borrowed acetylene welding torch from Spencer's Garage at Greenbank, but their attempts to cut open the safe were not success- ful. Always resourceful they borrow- ed the tow truck from Pargeter's Gar- age and tried to winch the safe out of the building. This effort was also a failure. They received nothing for their work. Mr. Gord Thomas, manager of the Warehouse, said that all this work must have made them a little thirsty as they had helped themselves to a few drinks. Also they must have been pretty confident that they would not be disturbed for as far as is known all this went on with the place fully lighted. We were informed that Mr. Par- geter's keys for the tow truck were taken from their secret hiding place, (which was supposed to be known to only three people) so it would seem even more certain that someone lo- cally is studying the avea and plan- ning the robberies. eS "Minor Hockey News The last big night of the year is over, and a fair crowd had a very en- tertaining evening.

Sunday, April Sth-- Robinson's Tannery 2-4 , You will this saving can be until your child Manchester Credit Union A credit union is a financial coop- erative so there are aspects common to all co-operative which govern a cre- dit union. One important rule is one vote to a person, no matter what your financial interest in your credit union you have only one vote. The second important feature is that a co-operative puts service first and so also does a credit union. The board of directors must govern the credit union and guide it in the best possible manner, they always try to show : reasonable profit but profit or not service to the members is the fir requirement. The credit union aims at promot: thrift in the community. Member are shown how advisable it is to <u. and rather than spend their savings to borrow them out and pay them back. Most people readily can see the wisdom in this type of thriftie- ness. So successful has been the Manchester Credit Union in bringing the best out in its members that this month when the annual report was sent to the Department of Insurance the question "How many deliquent loans has the credit union" was easily answered because Manchester Credit Union had none, not one loan which is classed as delinquent. There has not been one penny lost through a bad loan, none of the guarantee fund which is set up to cover bad loans, has been used amd it is a matter of great satisfaction to the workers in the credit union that such is the case. Occasionally someone criticizes the credit union because someone has been given a membership and that person thinks they are not good enough as far as credit rating is con- cerned. On one occasion this happen- ed & the impulse was strong but con- trolled to tell that person that the one they were concerned about gives so much less trouble than a member of his own family. You cannot tell a- bout your neighbor, all you can tell Is that if he is a member of the Man- chester Credit Union he is giving sat- isfaction or he would be given back his membership card. Manchester Credit Union is going to broaden their service this year by giving all 1959 babies their first share in the credit union. We invite you to enquire about the five dellar gift for your baby when you open an ac- count to ensure his financial future. never know how valuable reaches the age "when he needs more money and then it may be too late. Five hundred dollars saved over 18 years can mean three thousand dol- lars available to your son when he needs it most. Think it over. Born on Grandad's Birthday Mr. J. J.
