SS RE, This picture was taken on the occasion of an interview with Mr. Samuel Eyre in March, 1971. Sporting a Centennial beard at the time, Mr. Eyre is showing two pictures in his life. At left, 16 years old in the Royal Navy's uniform and at right, 60 years old in the Canadian Army's uniform during the Second World War. Construction of Perryview Plaza runs into unexpected difficulties (continued 14 then do something about it." The government officials feel this course is unwise. They say; "Why wait for the * problems to begin? Why not plan ahead? Future genera- tions will compliment the JERRY VOTE: 1972 Village Council'. Mr. Dolman had further comments. "If you build an apartment on this site as was previously suggested, there will be less 'volume of use' than for a shopping plaza. If _ that lot is used for a plaza, TAYLOR COUNCILLO R Scugog Township Mon., Dec. 4, 1972 RE - ELECT To represent Cartwright and Manvers Townships on the Northumberland & Durham Cty.

This space is necessary to act as a buffer zone between a recreation area and a commercial zone. You can't have these two operating side by side. However, if the proposed apartment building is erected on the site, there will be a buffer zone because it will take up 15,000 square feet less than a plaza." His cohort added omin- ously, "this area has been designated as parkland and you need my permission to stick any building there." What is council's next move? They have two alter- natives; to contact Charles McNaughton, the Minister of Treasury, Economics and Affairs or to get in touch with the Ontario Municipal Board.

This he expressed in an interview with the Star shortly. after his 91st birthday in March, 1971. For these who knew him and was familiar with his happy and energetic outlook on life, would certainly agree, Mr. Eyre, if any, would reach this goal. Destiny changed his desire to live when he died a ruthless and tragic death during a fire in his small home early Wednesday morning, last week. It was quite evident that the old man had fought for his life to - the bitter end, but collapsed and suffocated while strugg- ling to reach the front door. Mr. Eyre was known to most of the residents in the Village and area and could be seen, straight as a ramrod* strolling the streets almost daily for his exercise. With his strong desire to live and the way he enjoyed life there is no doubt Mr. . Eyre would have reached 100 years of living. Nothing but an accident, such as happen- ed last week could rob the man of his life. Mr. Eyre was no ordinary man, his long and happy life was one of excitements and adventures and from his very young years when he joined the Royal Navy dur- ing the reign of Queen Victoria in 1900 at the age of 16;- until he so tragically passed away last week, he lived a full life. He was born in Yorkshire, England on March 13, 1880, and following his service in the Royal Navy he volun- teered for service in the Boer War in South Africa. Follow- ing armistice, Mr. Eyre did police duty for. about six months and then joined a circus in Johannesburg. After returning to England and spending some time on home grounds, Mr. Eyre's longing for travel made him decide to see what Canada had to offer and he landed in Toronto during the summer of 1904. His training and exper- ience as a circus artist in South Africa landed him a job with the Canadian Natio- nal Exhibition. He was featured under the name of CHRO ADEE AE A OOO \ Morando and e per lained large crowds with acrobatic stunts for three weeks. After a few years in Cincinnatti, where he was married, he returned to Toronto in 1914. He joined the Canadian Armed Forces and went overseas in 1916 with te, 3a battalion. - . Eyre resided in Tor- ont until ,1959 when he moved to Hort Perry, pur- chased the small house on Lilla Street, where he lived until his tragic death last 6060060 EGG GEG EEC GE GED EEE EGG EG EEE GOO OG ®® EG ahah PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Nov. 22,1972 -- 23 week. Of the many functions Mr. Eyre attended and enjoyed every year was the Old Bills' Night at the Legion.

He lived a colourful and adventurous life and despite the sadness of his death, 'perhaps the old soldier was. destined to pass away "with his boots on".
