Photo -- Peter Hvidsten Jr. Leo Club Organized With 20 Members A Leo Club was formed in Port Perry Wednesday last week when eleven of 20 applicants attended a meeting in the Municipal Building. Eligible for membership are young boys and girls 'between 15 and 20 years of age, and as the chairman Dale those present, at least 16 members were required in order to obtain a charter for the club. Dr. Lague, member of the Port Perry . Lions Club was - appointed some time ago to attempt to form a Leo Club and the meeting last 'week was the result of his efforts. The purpose of the club is to promote service and activities among the youth of the community, to develop individual qualities, of leader- ship, experience and opport- unity and unite the mebers in fellowship, friendship and understanding. : Prior to the election of officers, it was decided that the elected executive would remain in office unfil June 1971, since there was only one month left until summer recess. : The following were elected to hold office: Paul Stone, pres.; Mary Lynn MacMaster, vice pres.; Joanne Prentice, gec.; Sheryl MacGregor, treas.; Graduates Convocation was held at the University of Guelph on Wednesday, May 27th. Recelvinga B.Sc., (Honours Physics) was Thomas B. Cawker, son of Mt. and Mrs. James Cawker, Manchester. Janis Carriere, Orvin Smith, Brent Heard, directors; Cam Deeth, tailtwister. The role of the "tailtwister" is one of bhumorous nature. He is to keep meetings at a. lively tempo, imposing fines (not over 15¢) when ever he can find a reasonable reaon to do 80. Following the election, the new executive took over and held a brief meeting, President elect, Paul Stone expressed his gratitude to the other mem- bers present - for the honour they "had bestowed on him by electing him president. It was decided to hold meetings very first and third Wednesday of the month at 7:30. p.m. "The club is sponsored by the Port Perry Lions Club and present to aid in the format- ion were the chairman, Dale Lague and Storey Beare, Governor of District A-3. The regular council meeting held on Wednesday last week was kept busy with several time consuming delegations. It was 10.30 before the council members were able to -start the business covering the evening's agenda. The first delegation were the life guard members, Larry Moase, Faye Healey and Susan Smitherman. They were present attempting to obtain a better rate of pay, and improved arrangements for their services at the municipal pool, Birdseye Centre, during the 1970 season. During the 1969 season only two lifeguards attended the pool, however, this arrangement left little time off from their duties and council went along by hiring a third guard. The fee was originally set at $26.00 a week per guard, but after considerable discussion, this amount was raised to $30.00 each. Larry Moase, spokesman for the group emphasized the necessity of having two guards on duty at some occasions, particularly during the busy week-ends. © ; Generally, the council members did not see the nec- essity in this, since only one guard is stipulated for every 100 bathers. It was agreed HOSPITAL REPORT Week ending May 23rd Admissions . . ........ 33 Births ............ 2 Deaths ............ 0 Emergency .......... 96 Operations . ...:..... 20 Discharges .......... 31 Remaining .......... 42 Guards Get Raise In Pay this amount was never.reached at Birdseye Centre at any one time. It is not expected Birds- eye Centre will be open on a weekly basis before summer holidays start and the three students are free to attend the pool every day. If, how- ever, weather permits, the centre will be open for week- ends, and for this service the guards will be paid $10.00 each. : In addition to the weekly remuneration, the life guards also operate the booth, and the net proceeds will be shared between the three. Barry Elford, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Elford, arrived home Tuesday night after spending a year in Aus- tralia, Sydney District. es Volume 105--Port Perry, 28th, 1970--Number 31 Plan To Invite P. M. To Centennial The possibility, perhaps remote at the moment, but quite conceivable of having J-| the Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Elliott Trudeau as a guest in Port Perry at the main function of the Village's Cen- tennial celebration was brought up for discussion at last week's council meeting. The president of Port Perry Chamber of Commerce, Ted Griffen was present at the meeting on behalf of the Centennial Committee and said the first steps had been taken towards making a visit by the Prime Minister a reality. "Before an official invitat- ion is extended", Mr. Griffen said, "the Centennial Coni- mittee thought it only proper to inform the council about the plans since no doubt council would to a great extent be taking part in the celebrations." ; _ Generally, the council members were in agreement with the idea, some expressing more enthusiasm than others. Port Perry was incorporat- ed as a Village at the June session of Ontario County]: Council and the exact date was June 9, 1871. Since June 9, 1971 falls on a Wednesday, Mr. Griffen suggested to council, either the Saturday prior or follow- ing that date should be design-. ated for the major event of Centennial celebrations. The main reason for this suggest- ion is to have as many of the residents as possible take part, including all those employed by General Motors who normally would be absent if the main events were to be held on a Wednesday. . Lightning Strikes Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cornish were really shocked Monday night during the brief but violent rain and thunder storm which hit the area. A bolt of lightning hit their house on Queen Street and broke water pipes in the kitchen and the basement. The television set was also hit, because the set and wall behind were completely black- ened following the violent jolt. : Ross Carter Wins Contest For 1971 Centennial Flag Ross Carter, a grade 12 : student of Port Perry High School has been selected the winner of the Port Perry Centennial Flag Contest. The contest, spon d by the Centennial Committee was held two weeks ago at the high school. Designs for flags, penants and pins were sub- mitted by a number of stu- 'dents with Ross's being chosen the winning design. A ten dollar cheque was issued to him from the Cen- tennial Committee, with an additional ten dollars being given by the Port Perry High School Student Council. A committee of three per- sons from the Centennial Executive will be travelling to Erin next week with the design, to have plans finalized for the printing of the flags and penants. A total of 17 organizat- ions have Yeplied to the Cen- tennial Committee's request for funds to help finance the initial cost of organizing the Centennial year celebrations, and.a total of $260.00 has been received. © The proposed dance to be held July 4th of this year has had to be postponed until a later date.
