' This amount is $350 higher than what the Club had suggested its share of the $7,400. total cost should be. A letter to the municipality dated October 31 had sug- gested that the $7,400 cost for the lighting be split four ways with $3,700 coming from Wintario and Com- munity Centre (provincial) grants, $1,850 coming from ,the Club, and $1,850 coming from Scugog Township. Council discussed the letter at a special meeting Monday afternoon and in a recorded vote agreed that the Township's share should be $1,500. Councillors Vern Asselstine and Neil Mec- Laughlin both voted against this amount, suggesting that it 'was too much. agreeing that the courts in Port Perry are available to all residents of. the Town- , ship, councillors McLaughlin and Asselstine suggested that the money might be better spent providing court facilities in other parts of the Township. Both councillors pointed: out that they are not against' the lighting at the courts in Port Perry, but rather the are Board crutches, walkers or wheel chairs. The next meeting of the Advisory Board is schedul- ed for December 8 at 7:30 in the municipal offices, Port Perry. The general public is invited to attend.

Eligible BA Fas ess a Cra BL 3 The chairman made several requests and sug- gestions, one of which was to have Scugog clearly identify on tax bills exactly how much in dollars the taxpayer is contributing to the Region, the Township and the Board of Education. -- While members of council generally agreed that this would be a helpful policy to adopt, it could not be done until the Township assess- ment is equalized by the province. Mr. Beath also pointed out that there .is an identity problem within Durham and LE, ~ that all municipalities should - be actively working to cor- rect this. Many people, said Mr. Beath, think that Dur- ham is a small town some- where in western Ontario. The name Oshawa-Durham might be considered for the region. a The Region is currently on an energy conservation pro- gram with a target of a ten per cent savings each year, and Mr. Beath asked that the municipality work towards a similar savings on elec- tricity and gasoline.. And finally, he asked that, Scugog adopt a coat-of-arms, as this municipality is one of three within the Region that has not yet done so. LONG DISTANCE Councillor Richard Drew pointed that one thing that seems to alienate residents from the Region is the long Ny distance phone charge from several areas to the Regional offices in Whitby, and he' asked whether the Region had considered the install- ation of a Zenith line. Mr. Beath answered that the region is concerned about the fact that many residents are forced to pay the long distance charge, but the cost of putting in toll-free lines and exchanges is too high at this time. Wheels - stolen Four wire wheel discs and covers were reported stolen November 27 from a 1971 Cougar parked at a resi- dence on Macdonald Street in Port Perry. The value of the stolen items is estimated at $425. Exr= Just 'because you have no oven, don't rely on fried food.

Make proper nutri tion a part of your Life fact that the Township has to pay so much of the bill. Councilors Richard Drew, Don Crosier, Reg Rose and Mayor Lawrence Malcolm voted in favour of the resolution. . The $1,500 from the Town- ship will come from the municipal park fund, and a loan from the same fund will be used to cover costs until the monies from the provin- cial grants arrive. Although work will not get underway until spring on the installation, the contract will be arranged by the Township in the near future with Doug' Pinder Electric of Bobcay- geon. : Diane Burt and Jack Big- glestone. represented the Tennis Club at the meeting of council Monday evening, and were supported by several tennis enthusiasts.
