One of the best things about the warm, sunny weather, is the luring effect it has on the attractive young ladies, making girl-watching the main attraction once again. If you happened to be on the street Tuesday, you may have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of two of the prettiest young ladies around town, Carla-Marie and Carrie-Anne Rombough, twin daughters of Peter and Valerie Rombough of 64 Ontario Street, who are 11 months old. Port Perry area viewers to get cable television Port 'Perry, Manchester, Greenbank: and Utica -tele- vision viewers wishing to hook into a cable system, will be able to do so this fall when Compton Cable Tele- vision of Uxbridge completes 'the necessary laying of cable and installation of equip- ment that will include these areas in its coverage area. The Canadian Radio-Tele- vision Commission-approved the company's application, _ presented in late February, & sion. last "week. * Owner Ron Compton told the STAR he received word ' from the CRTC. about the appli- cation's acceptance via a telegram last week. Two applications to bring cable services to Port Perry and area were before the commission. Port Perry also had an appli- cation before the commis- The Compton service is already operating in- Ux- "bridge. Signals from a tower on -the 7th Coiicession of Uxbridge brings signals to about 800 Uxbridge area families. Mr. Compton said Three escapees from the St.:John's Training School in Uxbridge who broke into a home near Region Rd. 8 and Concession 8 of Scugog Town- ship armed with a rifle and shotgun, were picked up by police in "Hull, Quebec, and Hospital Report 'Week Ending May 1 15, 1975 Admissions i... ....iviiiininn 31 Birth...........c NTP ETA 2 Deaths... ; Emergencies Operations ......

Bill Locke of - the existing tower will be used 'to serve the now- expanded area as well, with an eight-mile trunk cable connecting the Port Perry area to the Uxbridge service, and another 10 or 12 miles of cable as feeder lines. "It is the installation of this cable 'and electronic signal booster equipment that will take all the time. 'We should have people on the system here by Oct- ober," said Mr. Compton,' The expansion will make the existing system econo- mically operable, according to Mr. Compton. He said although he has basically. the same capital and operational costs of the larger cable companies, the Uxbridge system is one of the smallest in the province. Expanding the system to include the pew areas alone, he said, will - cost more than $50,000. . -Another $50.000 will have to be spent as well, on a local studio, offices, and ware- houpe facilities here in Port Perry, duplicating facilities in Uxbridge. The local studio will offer : Face theft charges will face a series of charges in connection with a series of thefts over the weekend. - Police said the youths threatened to shoot the next door neighbour who 'was investigating the oceurrehce, i she tried to interfere. Police later received a slaint from cession 7 stolen truck com "ahome at Lot 4, "in Scugog Township, which was recovered by police in Essex. A stolen car and the three boys were later found in Hull, Quebec, The boys were to appear in Toronto couel, Tuesday, . ming. community programing, public service announce- ments, and in short, what- ever local enthusiasm can be 'generated. Mr. Compton said a well- equipped studio could pro- duce a full-week's program- "We hope to get people interested in doing this," said Mr. Compton. He also said that equipment is 'available for telecasting sports events, church, or civic functions. One channel has been set aside for this kind of programming. When not in use, the-chan- nel will 'provide weather, music, announcements or other such information. Mr. Compton is hoping for at least 700 customers in this area to make the expansion pay, and that's over two or three years. Idea behind the venture, according to Mr. Compton, is when the area 'grows, Compton Cable will grow with it.

Council pay A mayor's annual "allow- ance of $5,440. and a councily™ Hor's allowance of $4,800 was approved at the Tuesday . meeting of Scugog Township. Councillor's salaries were set at the total amount received for 1974, including special 'meetings. Council- lor's 1974 average salary last year was $4,826. Could be 18,19 % Township's taxes up '"'It appears like an increase of around 18 or 19 per cent," said Scugog Town- ship Mayor Lawrence Mal- colm, perusing calculations pencilled in at the bottom of columns of figures that make -up this year's municipal bud- get. Council last night decided all the fat had been cut away, and there was no more whitt- . ling to be done on the budget. The township will have to meet total expenses this year of $1,381,833... Last year's total (actual) was $1,067,917. About $599,000 is available to the township in the form of grants and other revenue, leaving about $782,000 to be raised by taxes this year. Last year, $593,000 had to be raised by taxes. At least some of that hike will be absorbed by an increase in township assess- - ment of around 7 per cent. Of the $189,000 increase to be' raised through taxes this year, according to Mayor Malcolm's calculations, about $41,000 will be taken care of through the increase in assessment.

"I~ have to keep my blinds down | all the time," he said. Another claimed that the earth that is heaped up to form a base for the trailers creates flooding on the adja- cent properties.
