When the call was received at the Fire Hall about 9.00 p.m, the firemen were gathered for their regular monthly meeting & were able to reach the scene in a matter of just a few min- utes. Even at that, the fire had spread from end to end of the stand, done to save it. A brisk north wind was fan- ning the flames and spreading and "nothing could be "burning embers towards the plant of Chalet Farms Ltd. and the home of reeve J. J. Gibson, and the only solution was at- tempt to save the two buildings |; by pouring all available water on them. Worried residents in the area, brought garden hoses out and poured water on their houses in the event the fire should be spreading further. The fieat from the fire was almost unbearable, and it was so intense that assistant fire chief, Harvey Mahaffy received burns from 'water splashing on his hands from the burning build: ing. safe enough to leave the scene. At 11.30 on Tuesday evening the firemen were called again, Discuss Cattl The May meeting of the Sunderland 4-H Calf Club was held at the farm of Mr. J.

Water was poured around the burning area to avoid the fire from spreading and the men were able to re- turn to their homes in about one hour's time.

VOLUME 102. PORT PERRY, ONT, THURSDAY, MAY 18th, 1967 NUMBER 3 Difference Of Opinion Among Merchants Makes Uniform "Port Perry retail merchants showed considerable interest in the meeting for Tuesday night in the Municipal Office. About 40 members of the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce and pri- marily merchants turned out for the meeting, called for the pur- pose of discussing store hours and if possible come to an agree ment on making them uniform. The discussion was lively enough, but, alas, the agreement was never reached. However it must be said the atmosphere was indeed jovial, and every- one left the meeting after one hour and a half in-a very the retail merchants group con- ducted the meeting, & brought forward several suggestions, but in no case was it possible to have a majority vote. ~ The majority did however de- sire some time off from work during the week, but a few of the merchants claimed and gave good reasons for wanting to stay open also on Wednesday after- noon, when the majority of stores are closed. Mr. Middleton as chairman spoke strongly in favour of at least one half off during the week, or preferably one full day, and was supported chiefly by merchants with a small staff or none at all. Owners with larger staff were generally inclined to prefer to have .more flexability as far as store hours are concerned. Three proposals were voted on, but none of them won a majority vote, and it was then decided to leave store hours in Port Perry as they have been for some time. A couple of other important items were brought to the at- A petition was signed by all members present, to have the parking spots on Queen Street freshly painted. This - would give more parking space on the street during rush hours. The petition will be presented to Port Perry Council Thursday, (today). The bus stop and taxi stand on Queen Street also came un- der discussion, and it was felt that too much valuable parking space was occupied permanent (Continued on Page 4) Mr. and Mrs. E.
