In those days Port Perry had more than one newspaper, and they fought among themselves constantly as witnessed by this comment from the Port Perry Standard of Decem- ber 4, 1874. "The Port Pery Observer man appears fairly beside himself with rage at our remarks two or three weeks ago concerning him; and his language in reply - as silly as it is disgraceful - shows how bad he stands in need of both sense and manners. Something I have learned from our New Canadians. The ladies were thanked and the meeting closed with O Canada and lunch. -Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wright spent the weekend in Kingston with their daughter Miss Eleanor Wright. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Larmer are spending a few days in Western Ontario. Mr. and Mrs. Elgin Taylor were Sunday supper guests of Mr.and Mrs. Glenn Larmer and boys. Mrs. Garnet Wright, Port Perry, Rev. Clarence Ferguson, Don Mills and Mrs. Olga Hill were Sunday supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Wright and family. Mr.and Mrs. Wilbur Toms were Thanksgiving Monday evening dinner guests of "Mr.and Mrs. Charles Gay, Bowmanville. OCTOBER 17-31 But bad as he is, we suppose he was born so and can't help it. Poor fellow." Reporters in those days were less than objective in their comments when it came to political reports also. While extolling the vir- tues of "The Grits" (Liberals) in the Ontario Government the Standard pointed out that, "After the usual amount of grumbling from the opposition the order was passed," then goes on to comment that it would be better to have no government at all than to ever allow the opposition to gain power. However, the Borelians may have been happier with the way reviews were handled in 1874. "The first of a series of entertainments," wrote the Standard," in con- nection with the Church of the Ascension in this place, as advertised to come off during the winter, took place on Tuesday evening. The Town Hall was filled with an intelligent and appreciative Port Perry Meeting No. 4 was held Oct. 9th at Miss Dodd's home. We opened with 4-H pledge. Dianne read the roll and she also read the minutes of the last meeting. The Discussion was on "How to Score a Family Menu". Mrs. Whitfield read to us what foods the adolescents should eat. She also told us what foods were the most important. This week we made two ~ Marsh, Jewett, Fall 7 3 Specials audience. The Rev. C.C. Johnson having been called to the chair, the proceedings were commenced by Messrs Adams and Diesfeld who gave a flute duet very commendably. Dr. Sangster read Maud Miller in a manner seldom heard by a Port Perry audience."
