AR 4 a } asta, Sccnuwddd from OPP officers Doug Robinson, left, and Dave Onlock, shortly after close of meeting. OPP Introduces "Breathelizer" To Lions About 35 Lions attended the first regular meeting in March at Conway Gardens, and thanks to two police officers from the Whitby Detachment of the Ont- ario Provincial Police, the meet- ing became a very. interesting and educational event. The topic spoken on by con- stable Doug Robinson, assisted | by a second officer, Dave On- lock, was the function and ap- plication of a relatively new in- strument known to the public as "breathelizer". - As the word indicates, it has to do with breathing, and it is used for the detection of the amount of alcohol in the blood stream of a person suspected of being impaired, or beyond that stage. : : Mr. Robinson emphasized that the use of the breathelizer is entirely on the choice of the person involved. In" other words, the test cannot be forced upon anyone. An interesting film produced by All-Canada Insurance Federa- tion, was shown to the mem- bers, proving the worth of the breathelizer. Eight of Canada's professional and foremost drivers who had volunteered to assist in the making of the film, went through a rigid test before and after the consumption of a few "ounces of liquor. - Joins Barrie OPP Ontario Provincial Police|| Constable David Ian Godley has recently graduated from the Ontario Provincial Police Col- lege, Toronto, after successful completion of the Orientation Course". Upon graduation Constable Godley was posted to the Barrie Detachment, No. 7 District Barrie. i He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Godley, Port Perry. "Recruit The effect it had on the driv- ers, in the operation of the cars, was indeed startling. From al- most perfect driving previous | to consumption of alcohol, the same expert drivers lost a great 'deal of control, and the normal sense of operating a car. A question and answering period followed the film. Arnold - Roach, on behalf of the Lions thanked the two offi cers for a most interesting lec- ture, on a most important topic. President Gord Thomas urged all members to turn out for an important Zone meeting in Osh- awa at 2 p.m. on Sunday, '| March 12th. At this meeting, Storey Beare, a past president of the Port for many years has taken an active part in the Club as well as the Zone will seek the posi- tion of Zone Chairman. The support from the members is very important in order to make this a successful election for 'Lion Storey. The next meeting is the an- nual son, daughter and father banquet. It will be held in the Legion Hall_on Monday, March 20th, and it is expected that more than 70 will be attending this function.

P2RT { PERRY YIAR VOLUME 102 PORT PERRY, ONT. THURSDAY, MARCH 9th, 1967 NUMBER 21 Council Asks Reduction In 1967 Estimates A letter from Central Ontario County District High School Board to the Port Perry Council at the last regular meeting arous- © ed considerable discontent among the councillors. It was due to the almost double increase in Port Perry's share of the 1967 levy, $103,427.58 compared with $53,949.70 for 1966, or an increase in the mill rate by 15.29. This resulted in the fol- lowing motion passed by the council: "That due to the fact that estimates for the year 1967 of the Central Ontario County District "High School Board has nearly doubled over 1966 --It be sent back to the Board, requesting a sub- stantial reduction--and a more detailed explanation of increased costs he for- warded to this council." School Bd. Announces Raise In Secondary (The article below was contributed by the Central Ontario County District High School Board.) This year the Central Ontario | County District High School Board is faced with increased expefid@itures in every part of its operation and has requested the Councils of the Area for a levy of 32 mills for Educational purposes. This is an 11 mill rise over last year and it is ne- cessitated for the following reasons. In 1966 the Board budgeted very closely and allowed for no working surplus in order to hold the tax rate the same as in 1965. This resulted in our surplus in 1966 being $34,500.00 compared to $121,000.00 in 1965.

Letcher" Rover Crew, are sponsoring the North- landia Concert Band in the High School Auditorium, Satur- | day, March 18th: The boys so far have been able to sell approximately 200 tickets, but the goal is to fill. the Auditorium. There are four good reasons why residents of this commun- ity should support the Rover Crew-in their undertaking. Firstly: 50 young amateur musicians will receive 509, of the proceeds to support the ef- forts and cost of operating a band. Secondly: If sufficient funds are available, the Hospital Building Fund will benefit. Thirdly: The boys have also CL i : decided, if the proceeds allow it, to help improve the Scout Hall. Fourthly: Like everyone else in this country, the boys also {-have-the-ambition-and-desire-to-{- visit Expo '67. If any funds are at all left over, they intend to use this to pay part of personal expenses for such a trip. This is a Centennial Project, and 'is a very ambitious. and courageous undertaking on the part of the young men. Tickets are only $1.00.
