What Is Hallowe'en? Judging by the preparations made by the youngsters it is a gigantic mas- | . querade party in which the whole country joins. The little folk have a wonderful time, even the shy ones who have the courage because Mother is waiting on the sidewalk. The young teeners get a lot of excitement racing around and pulling stunts they would never 'get away with' any other night. The older boys? Well they get a lot 'off their chests' tool A few lads let their high spirits get them into some scrapes and they certainly man- age to keep the "cops" on the run, but maybe they all enjoy it--at least as long as no one is hurt and there is no serious property damage. Apparently that is the way it was in Port Perry. A few street signs were pulled out, a few fires started in the roads, a few hydrants turned on. The fires were quickly extinguished and the hydrants closed in a matter of minutes -by the firemen who were on duty. There was one blockade set up on the street which could have proved serious. Young Archie Menzies was unable to stop his car soon enough to avoid crashing it and a loose board broke the windshield. Very luckily no one was injured by the fly- ing glass and boards. The boys who put this obstruction on the street would have felt pretty small indeed had someone been badly hurt. There was considerable damage done to a station wagon owned by Clayton Orpwood of Oshawa. The car was being driven north on the Osh- awa Road when it failed to make the turn coming into town and skidded ac- ross the triangle at Scugog and Lilla streets. A fire hydrant and tele- phone pole were damaged as well as the station wagon. About $700 dam- age is estimated on he vehicle. The four or five youths" who were in the car walked away, literally--later hit- ching a ride back to Oshawa. Lady Luck was riding with them as no one was Injured, The driver is being charged with failure to report an.ac- cident, One other incident occurred of spe« cial interest. The local police recei- ved a tip that some five carloads of young folk from another town had concentrated in the Fair grounds bent on destruction. Chief Cameron called on several groups of local boys and they all headed toward the Fair- grounds, but word of their'coming had reached the outsiders and by the time the local force arrived at the grounds the out-of-town visitors had departed. Police Chief Cameron says he is well pleased with the co-operation he received from the firemen who re- mained on duty all night; also because the young folk remembered to 'keep it fun', and with those who responded to his call for assistance regarding the Fairgrounds episode. Hilltop Herald Well, folks, Hallowe'en is over for another year. We're pleased to know that none of our students were in- volved in anything serious. Our bruised and battered rugby team went down to defeat in a hard- fought game against Uxbridge. The teams first casualty of this season was Lloyd Wilson who, we are sorry to say, suffe a broken nose. The last rugby gafie~-wil be played Wed- nesday afternoon at Brock District High School, Port Perry vs. Brock. The results will be in the paper next week, Last Friday evening a very suc- cessful Hallowe'en Dance was held at the High School and sponsored by the Athletic Society.

LETTER from The Canadian H, W. Gossard Co. Ltd. dated October 26, 1959--"We would like to renew the lease on our Port Perry Premises for. another year, on the understanding that this can be done without a fur- ther increase in the rent that we are now paying." (Paying at present $85.00 per month).' The Clerk was instructed to thank the Canadian H. W. Gossard Co. for their letter of October 26, 1969 and state an follows: "The Reeve and Council appreciate the-presence of your industry in Port erry and certainly desirous of con- tinuing your lease and the good re- tions, It is felt that in these times the rént for the accomodation afforded should be higher, and we suggest a figure of $100.00 per month, We would like to point out that, sinea the last increase in rent in Dec,, - Port Perry Council News - 1967, it has been necessary to increase the assessment of all property in Port Perry by approximately 6%. The to- tal increase in assessment at the same time has been about 209%, but we rea- lize that a good part of this is as a result of new building. In addition it has been necessary to increase the mill rate in' Port Perry by approximately four mills, The total amount of taxes levied against the people .of Port Perry in the last two years has increased by more than 26%. These increases, of course,. have been necessary by reason of increased costs, as well as increased services required by the community, such as schools, etc. We feel that the re- venue from Corporation property should bear some relation to the re- venue which the Corporation is re- quired to obtain from its taxpayers, and that the sugested increase in rent is, therefore, justified."
