. - THE PORT PERRY STAR "Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Dept, Ottawa, for payment of postage in cash" PORT PERRY, ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26th, 1961 $2.00 Per Year, Single Copy b¢ * ROBARTS WINS P.C. LEADERSHIP - DYMOND OUT ON SECOND BALLO LETTER RE FLOOD LIGHTS - AND NEW BALL PARK (Following is a letter which will be distributed to every home in Port Perry) rein 3 Port Perry, Ontario, October 27th, 1961. Dear Citizens: Recently, at a Public Meeting held in the Port Perry Council Chambers, a citizens committee was formed to study the possibilities of installing floodlights in a Ball.Park in Port Perry. Some of the reasons for hav- ing such a park in this community are: 1. In recent years, we have had several Ball Teams in the Ontario play-offs; last year our Junior team won the all-Ontario Championship; this year, the Intermediates, the Juniors, and the Bantams were all in the Ontario playdowns. : 2. These teams will be refused entry in their -local- leagues in the future unless night games can be played here, Many of the players, from Port Perry and the other teams, work until five or six o'clock, therefore they can- not be in Port Perry soon enough to complete games using natural light: 3. These three teams, alone, carry about fifteen players each, and other teams may be formed néxt year. Also, there are and will be hundreds of _ boys in the future who will be able to Hilltop Herall Hello Readers: Last Tuesday, the Uxbridge football team came to Port Perry only to be defeated 19-6, The Port Perry touch- downs were by Bob Geffs, Bob Snel- grove and "Chick" Carnegie. On Friday, the Port Perry team travelled' to Brock where it won 26-6. Larry Davidson got three touchdowns and Bob Parry accounted for the other. The boys deserve a great deal of credit for their excellent playing ability and showing of sportsmanship. Friday, the Port Perry football team goes to. Sutton for the last game in the four school series, Good-luck men Tuesday, our soccer team played the Cobourg Collegiate. As of Friday, Oct. 20, our maga- zine campaign had collected over $1500.00; $1200.00 short of the goal. Tuesday the 23rd, was the last day and the grand total will be in next week's paper. } ; The girls, supervised by Miss Hast- ings, have been divided into .teams to play intra-mural volleyball during lunch hour. The boys under-Mr. Cole have done likewise. participate in ball games and benefit by the wholesome recreation, 4. There is a possibility of build- ing the Ball Park near the Water- | front, consequently, hundreds of Port Perry citizens and visitors will be able to attend and enjoy this pleas- ant past-time during the Summer months. 5. The Committee as well as many citizens feel that our Young People have splendid facilities for Winter re- creation by being able to use the Skat- ing and Hockey arena but we do need | a modern Ball- Park to provide for Summer recreation.- 6. History has proven that Young People will seek some sort of activity, somewhere--wholesome or otherwise. It would seem that we would be tak- ing valuable measures to help prevent Juvenile delinquency by providing a suitable park of this nature in our community. ~----NOTE--- Your citizens- committee has obtained the assistance of some fifty canvassers who plan to begin a house to house canvass of Port Perry beginning on the night of November first. ~ We, the Citizens committee trust that you will be very " liberal with your donation. The com- mittee. is hoping to raise at' least $5,000, which sum will be needed to install the Floodlights and possijfy erect a few stands, etc. : " Already, the Ball -players, them- selves, have held dances; draws, etc, to raise money for this project. They will need and will appreciate your generous financial support. Thank you. 'Kenneth Jackson; President. Signed on behalf of the committee Howard Hall, Secretary.

M.S. was held in St. Paul's United Church, Ajax on Tuesday and that of Eastern section in Blackstock United Church on Thursday with the theme "For such a time as this". The guest speaker at each session, both rallies was Miss Bessie French who has recently retired to live in Hamilton after 40 years service as a missionary. In the mornings, Miss French gave the highlights of a ference she attended in July in West Berlin, She was one of 90 on a chartered plane guided by a German pastor now in Toronto, The conference grew out of wartime experience when fellow prisoners felt the need to wor- ship'and pray together for their own strength and to show the strength of the church in the face of oppression. This lay movement has continued and holds a Kirchengat every other year--a form of resistance movement, a personal witness and experience of Christian fellowship. For 15 years these Lutherans have tried to survive under communism. They submit. to being searched and to hours of quest- ioning to attend these conferences by the thousands never knowing whether or not they will be allowed to return home. One hundred thousand from all world attended this year, meeting in 10 churches, lining up for hours to get in. In East Germany the pastors are not allowed to visit unless there is a_spiritual necessity which the com- munists try daily to break' down. Thousands of pennants and Chris- tian flags--a purple cross on a white ground--were silent symbols of Chris- tian fearlessness, Miss French recom- mended the film 'Question 7' as a true picture of the real task of being] contrast in the two zones 1s very evident in the streets and in the attitude of the people. Her party were permitted to visit one of the 80 re- ght they knew some problems, the reality was' beyond imagination. A former factory. was home for 2000 people and a deaconess was trying to help the staff with problems of why people are refugees and how to care for the sick without medical facilities. In the afternoon, Miss French spoke on the theme ' "Churches for New Times" and brought a report of the conference of Women held at Keswick when the speakers were Dr. Gwynneth Hubble of the staff of the Inter- national Missionary Council New York and Mrs. A. J. Coleman, a graduate of the theological faculty at Geneva, now living in Kingston. Mrs. Grace Lane recently appointed to edit the women's section of the Observer was also pres. ent. Miss French warned against being carried away by architeatural political, social and economic revol- utions, when power is so easily abused and people beconie de-person- alized into 'clients', We are so apt to enjoy all the amenities of modern living 'and fail in the real meaning of the church, in the job we're supposed' to do, to make God real.
