'Dear Sir: As a former resident of your attractive little village I must admit that I am truly appalled at the deplorable 'condition "of some "of your 'Interested in .-have. been .-discussing-- the - . various activities program- 4 & ¥ & formation of "Navy League 'Dear Sir: . Over the past few weeks a small group of local citizens mes available to our young people of the village and the surrouridifig townships. Out of these discussions has arisenagrowing concern that there are substantial gaps in programmes for the various age groups. Believing these gaps can and 'should be bridged, this particular group ° of people have been studying the = various programmes possible through the Navy Leage of Canada. This 'long established and well known organization is very popular across Canada and the smart navy blue and white uniforms of the Cadets and Wrennettes attract much attention from those where the League is active. Under its-aegis a local branch could be formed and work among our young people begun. "For boys-aged 13 to 18, the Sea Cadets programme is available: For girls in the same age & group Wrennettes is the programme: And for boys aged 11 to 13, there is the Navy League Cadets. For all those young people there are many and varied interesting activities pro- grammes associated with Navy and Naval matters: Drill: P.T.: Band: Summer camps are conducted: There "is instruction in Boating. Spring and Winter cruises, and exchange visits with % other countries are included in the programmes. Interested young people and parents should give thought to this type of programme. In the near futurenotice will be given of a ¥public meeting to be called so ® A that those interested may hear more and ask questions about the Navy League of Canada.

DORT PERRY 985-2413 more important streets, I wonder if the Reeve or "any of his council members have had occasion to visit the Community Memorial Hos- pital lately and if so, I wonder if they have ever travelled Rosa. or Simcoe Street to arrive there. If Reeve Kenny or his council members have not travelled the 'above mentioned streets lately I suggest that perhaps they conact our local ambulance owner and I am sure that he, or one of his attendants, would be delighted to give them a demonstration ride, especially on Rosa Street.' This would help to give them some idea of how 'delightful' the trip is for some of the hospital patients, especially those with fractures of the spine, etc. If this suggestion does not meet with their approval perhaps -they-could- contact the Ontario Regiment in Oshawa about the possibility of borrowing one of their army tanks to tour the aforementioned streets. I understand that some of the streets of Port Perry are to be paved "in the future" but is it really necessary that local taxpayers bury their cars in the pot-holes to prepare a road-bed for the new paving? Does the village of Port Perry really own a road grader? If so, where is it? May I take this opportunity to make one last suggestion to the local council - instead of entering into 'flop-out' parking meter schemes, per- haps in future the money could be used for much- needed road repars and maintenance. I am sure that the above suggestion will be met with the unanimous approval of the local villagers as well as visitors to this village. Sincerely, Home News Since the busy Easter season, the Home has been very quiet and news scanty: - There was a Staff meeting on Thursday evening, about fourteen attended. Admissions - Miss Forfar from Port Perry Hospital. Bill Moroz - -is - visiting friends for the weekend. Glen Hood spent Sunday with his family on the Island. LANE OFFICE -- RESIDENCE "Pot-hole Pete of Rosa Street." Nursing Wants to The Editor, Port Perry Star, Dear Mr. Hvidsten: To continue a letter started toyouonMarch9,1972, I wish to express my dismay over the decision to demolish the post office and replace it with a "modern building." The present post office is one of the few buildings in our down-town area that refects our centenial celebrations of last year. - 'To demolish these build- ings will prevent future celebrations of a village of 125, 150 or 200 years of age, as the oldest replica of the past will probably be the streets which by then will probably not have been paved. This indiscriminate destruction of historic buildings, structures and records -is -allowed because the people just don't seem to give adam. Why take time to a save Post Office express your feelings? Surely other people will care and they will express them. Won't they? A recent visit to New Qrleans showed the concern of citizens there in their plans to preserve the history of the 'French Quar- ter." This has resulted in the preservation of .a truly unique segment of the North American heritage and history. Yes, we citizens of Port Perry are soon to loose one of our fine old buildings rather than voicing an opinion and finding some other use for the structure. We are also about to loose a large area of historic value when the new airport is built, Perhaps someone will take pictures of the things we are about to loose so that our children will still see them. Yours truly, C.J. Stolk, R.R. No. 4, Port Perry. "Tired of looking at old walls?

Port Perry -- 985-7951 PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, April 12,1972 ~ § MILEY UGAR AND Coeds: wedding. Most people chuckle fiendishly as they tell me what it's going to cost. "Well, she's your only daughter, so you'll have to go the whole hog, eh?' Or, "Well, it only happens onceandit'llcostyouabundle, but think of the loot she'll get." Consoling 'stuff like this. Inthefirst place, I wouldn't care if I had ten daughters. Well, maybe I-would. But in the second place, I don't want her to get a lot of loot. We'd wind up storing it in our house for "tenyearsuntil she and her broke intended are making enough to afford ,more than an unfurnished room. Her mother promptly announced that she was not up to a big wedding with all the frills, the smartest decision she has made since she _ agreed to marry me. Her mother, that is. Next, I laid it on the line. Four choices. A smallwedding, immediate family only, anda' fair-sized cheque. A slightly bigger deal, with_ asmallishreception, toinclude close friends, and a small cheque. A big splash, with a lot of people, and no cheque. Or a massive affair, with pomp and circumstance, in a city hotel ballroom, with her uncle and god-father, a well-to-dolawyer, paying theshot, if she could talk him into it, She chose No. 1.
