There are shrill leftest cries of fallow land, wasted idle land, speculation, etc. Tough. There are other laws and taxation systems over- seeing these affairs. Why in a free enterprise society has Profit become such a dirty word? Canada is under- populated. Land has to stand idle. This provides us with the vast forested areas, wild- life areas, greenbelt (if you will) areas commonly known as a nice view. [I enjoy looking at it. I don't care who owns it. I don't care if he makes a million dollars on it. To tax it simply for the sake of taxing it is pure socialism. A silly and some will say fanatical argument perhaps but in the face of a thousand other creeping (and not so creeping) socialistic changes in our society in recent years this taxation remember * when...? continued High School gym on January 20th at which time the fol- lowing officers were elected for the ensuing year: Pre- sident, Arthur Brock; Sec.-Treas., 0.0.

The local fire brigade were summoned but were unable to do little more than prevent the blaze from spreading to nearby homes. Another year has passed at Community Memorial Hospital, Port Perry and we are now entering our seventh year of service to the community, providing round the clock service for the sick and injured. 15 YEARS AGO Thursday, January 28, 1965 About 400 students, ex-students and teachers danced to the excellent music of the 'Blue Diamonds' at the 17th Annual 'At Home', in the Port Perry High School audi- torium last Friday evening. Miss Susan Roach, Man- chester was chose 'Queen', and Miss Gale Forder was 'Princess'. Local skating stars, Anna Forder and Richard Ste- phens, were in Oakville last Saturday, where they en- tered in the Central Ontario Senior Competitions. Again the young skaters proved they were among the best by placing second in the competition. The Ontario County Junior Farmers Choir under the direction of Mrs. Grace Hastings, Port Perry, won the choir competition at the annual Junior Farmer's 'Toronto Conference' on January 9th. Mr. and Mrs. Stan Mumford entertained Mr. and Mrs. Frank Garden of Bournemouth, England, as weekend guests. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Petrozzi have returned from their trip to Antigua and Montserrat, where they spent an enjoyable three weeks.

Replacing him is Harvey Mahaffy, who will be second in charge to chief, Guy Raines. Other appointments made were Charles Lown, and Jack Cook, captains, and Mervin DeNure chief inspector. 10 YEARS AGO Thursday, January 29, 1970 Mrs. Alice Woodcock is the first TOPS Queen in Port Perry. Mrs. Woodcock reduced her weight during the year by 16 Ibs. Recently, Mrs. Neil Malcolm, Blackstock, held a surprise birthday party for her aunt, Mrs. H. Taylor.

Mr. Harvey Mahaffy and Mr. Kenneth Fisher of Master Feeds, attended the Toronto Elevator Conven- tion at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, three days this week. concept is just one more nibble at free enterprise and basic democracy. It is astounding how easily these leftest concepts are applied and accepted. The silence of the general elec- torate is clamorous. Yours truly, Chris Mumford R.R.2, Port Perry A good point! | Dear Sir: . I would like to register my disapproval of your head- lines in the January 16, 1980 issue of the Port Perry Star - "P.C's elect Lawrence' and 'Liberals select U C Minister." You may consider it an aforementioned fact that Allan Lawrence will be elected in this traditionally conservative riding but perhaps you should allow the democratic process to take its course. In truth, I wonder if the ommission-addition of the single letter "'s' is an attempt at subliminal advertising. Perhaps, in future, it would be wiser to use the word "nominate". I believe that it would describe, quite accurately, the results of nomination meetings. Yours sincerely, Ivan Thompson Blackstock, Ontario. Disagrees with Star 'reporter Dear Sir: I would like to clarify a report in last week's Star concerning the game played between Port Perry Pee Wee B's and Bowmanville Toros on Saturday, January 12th. Due to a time-keeper's error there was a dispute over the last goal scored by Port Perry which would determine a tie or a loss for the Port Perry team. At this point, because of Toro objections the goal was dis- allowed and according to your reporter, "The Port Perry team, at once became enraged, slamming sticks on the ice and shouting obscenities." I was sitting directly in front of your reporter and heard only loud shouts from both teams but did not hear any of the so called obsceni- ties. I feel that your reporter should define his use of the word obscenities. In competitive sports losing is difficult enough to handle without the added disappointment of losing in this manner. It is a shame that young people in our community are degraded for the sake of what appears to be colourful journalism. Yours sincerely, Nancy Dempsey, Greenbank, Ontario.
