Mr. J. E. (Ted) Jackson celebrated the anniversary of his re- turn from overseas 42 years ago, March 26, 1919. As the anniversary coincided with Mr, J. J. Gibson's birthday it was only. natural that they should celebrate the event to- gether. Wearing top hats over 100 years old and a tie sent up from the States by a relative of Ted's they posed for Return From sage Gibson's home. : "Ted" joined the R.F.C. at 17 years and attained the rank of Lieutenant of the 28th Squadron Flying Corps, which later became known as the Royal Naval Air Service.

Jr. Semi Finals. The first two periods were very close. First period finished 1-1 and the second 2-2.

The Stouffville Tribune has an edi- torial concerning the organization of a Teen-Town Group in their town. We would like to quote a couple of para- graphs from this editorial: -- "The permanence of the club will depend, to a great extent, on the quality and leadership of its execu- tive. The same thing is true in any similar "activity. -- -- The life-blood of any Teen" Town rests. on the strict adherence to a list of rules and regulations. If this code of ethics is relinquished .in any way, then the organization is doomed to failure. If, however, the young peo- ple are willing to accept these res- ponsibilities and abide by them, the project will continue to prosper." We believe that the essential thing | is to make it easy for the. young folk to install new officers each year! ~~ ===" This should he done hy secret ballot, and should include everyone who holds a position in the organization -- the directors, the M.C., the chairmen or women in charge of various functions. Yes, we consider that it is .all im- | portant for the young folk to choose those who will represent them, and to be able to do so without being em- barassed by not voting for some par- ticular person. One thing we need to remember is that the membership of this group |'is constantly changing. leave and younger ones should be taking their place. Only the full par- ticipation of all teen agers can pro- duce a successful group. Only with constantly- changing ideas and sug- gestions, can the interest be main- tained. We wish Stouffville success with their Teen-Town. We would like to see Port Perry's Teen Town group become active again. v | Wins Highest Award Ricky Ballard was awarded his 13th badge on March 13th.

Perry Chamber | Cartwright Twp. 0f Commerce In winding up- the year's activities of the Chamber of Commerce, Presi- dent John Orde informed the "Star" that 1960 had been a very successful year with the membership increased over 1969 and with greater co-opera- tion among the Business Men, Major concern of the Retail Mer- chants section for 1961 is the park- ing problem facing us in the Business area of Port Perry. During the past two years, the Chamber has brought this to the attention of council many times, but as yet they have not seen fit to do anything about it. The 1961 Board of Directors will endeavour to have this situation rectified through close co-operation between the Cham- ber, Merchants and Council. The Tourist promotion committee of aur Chamber has heen active with Brochure and general promotion of this area through Trade Fair, Sports- man Show and the placing of Bro- chures at various Boarder points of entry. A New Brochure is being planned and should be available in the next month. The Industrial Committee under the chairmanship of S. Beare have worked hard this past year without showing too much _success..... Much time has spent by this committee this year in touring our community with a number of prospective industrial companies looking for property to ex- pand their present operation. As yet nothing definite has developed from these discussions. ~ This. Committec has also been working on the possi- bility of the County of Ontarie ad- ministrative and Road Office moving to this area as they have proposed a move out of Whitby.
