Since switching to off- set in June the press run has been over 2,100, but last week this amount was not the demand for the Star.

Year Old Visits Great Great Uncle 100 Years Old A grand old gentleman, Mr. Manley Mark of Wood- stock can look back on a rich and full life for 100 years on Wednesday, Nov. 8th. He is a great uncle of Mrs. Kenneth Bateman, 647 Queén St. and a great, great uncle of her son Paul. Last Saturday, Mrs. Bateman and. Paul who will celebrate his first birthday this month paid Mr. Mark a visit. Mr. Mark is still active and spends part of his time in the garden with pet projects, asparagus and Columbia Raspberries.

Mr. Mark and Paul became very good friends during the visit, and neither of them had any objection when Mrs. Bateman recorded the un- The telephone booths on the corners of Perry and Queen Streets and Water & Queen Streets were both turned over on their sides, but no damage was done. Quite a number of street and stop signs were pulled down, and a few hydranfs were turned on, but the fire- men watched very closely so no damage was reported. There was damage to the pavement on Highway 7A when a huge bonfire was _started in the middie of the road where County road No. 7 begins on Scugog Island. Old mattresses and tires and other debris had been pilled in the middle of the road. The heat from the fire melt- ed the asphalt, and made quite a dint in the road bed. One fireman said he had never seen so many kids roaming the streets in his life. "There were just gangs of them all over town", he said. ' - Street Lights Knocked Out According to Larry Mabley Port Perry Hydro Commis. sion' service man, no less than 10 street lights have been knocked out during the last few weeks.

Benefit Dance For Skaters The 1967-68 season could be the most important in the skating career of Anna For- der and Richard Stephens. In addition to the annual ac- ¥ |tivities, such as the Canadian, North - American and World: championships, the Olympics' will be staged in Grenoble, France some me in March. 1968. The couple are training with all these competitions in mind, and hope to qualify, and represent Canada at the important international : | events. Extra ice time will--be needed, which costs a great deal of money. Nobody rea- lizes this more than the par- ents of the skaters and the members of the Port Perry Figure Skating Club. The club knows they have a couple of potential champ- ions as members, and is mak- ing every effort to help pro- | vide that extra ice time. This Saturday, Nov. 4, a benefit dance will be held for this purpose at Club Ann- rene. Here is a good oppor- tunity for anyone who en- joys dancing to also help Anna and Richard in their preparations for the big events coming up, by attend- ing this dance.
