25 Le ele HB-PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, March 24, 1971 Should Be Permanent Centennial Impressive Performance By P. Hy. The idea of forming a Cent- ennial Choir was an excellent one and Friday the group made their first public per- formance in the High School Auditonum. As @ matter of fact, after listening to the choir for about two hours Friday night, we should have the pleasure of lis- tenfitg to the choir for a much longer time than just during centennial year. The Village has here the very nucleus for a permanent Choral Society. The soprano and alto sec~ tions were composed of some excellent voices, beautifully blended in rich harmony. The tenor and base sections des- pite completely outnumbered contributed greatly to the quality of the choir. An add- itional four or five members im the male section would give the choir a better voice "Sound Trek" a local musical revue was written by Mrs. Joan Godley and Mrs. Grace Hastings and was weil received by a capasity aud- ience. Mrs. Hastings a choir leader of many years in this conr munity added another triumph to her many fine contri- butions to the musical life im this community. Under Choir Gave efforts they put forth in the show, but, space will not per- mit this. However, we would be amiss if we did not give credit to Mrs. Audrey Sharpe for her expressive and tender presentation of the solo part in "Goin' Home." Miss Debbie Griffen also made a fine con- tribution in her solo part in "Farewell to Nova Scotia." Also taking part in the show was R.H. Cornish School Choir under the leadership of Glenn Taylor. Their entry into the Auditorium and parade up and down the ailes headed by trumpeter David Bourgeois made a big hit with the audience. It was a fine evening and the audience enjoyed it all. We like to re-iterate the statement earlier to make the Centennial Concert Group a permanent choral society for Port Perry. Seminar For Rural Youth The National Farmers Un- jon is sponsoring a series of Regional Seminars for Cana- | dian rural youth.

The purpose of the seminars is to bring rural young people together to dis- cuss their situation and form- ulate a definite plan of action. i Region 3, (Ontario) is holding its seminar on March 27 - 28th at Carousel Inn, Ajax, Ontario.

Representing the merchants. dack Dowson said that they had decided not to charge any admission to Queen Street during the celebrations. He said the merchants will attempt to raise the money through donations from the store owners and by selling booths on the main street to organi- zations. There will also be a 50-50 draw sponsored by the merchants. Dr. William Cohoon, C. of C. president reported that a rough budget had been set up and it was estimated that advertising for Centennial Week would run between $2,000. and $2,500.

"'We are being levied extremely high taxes,"' he complained,' and weshould be receiving much better ser- vices in return for those taxes." Actually, this particular section of the Townline road is maintained by crews under the jurisdiction of Reach Township in order to offset the corresponding service on another section of the same road, but in this case under the jurisdiction of East Whit- by Township. This arrangem- ent is the result of a "verbal" agreement made between the two townships a long time ago - "a long time before this Council ever took office," commented John Howden, Reeve of East Whitby. It was agreed that a verbal agreement is certainly not the most effective method of binding a contract but, so far, there has been no serious ob- jection to it. Now, maybe, someone will legalize the con- tract so that it will become fair to everyone The Council promised to investigate the matter further. ueen dire Opening Orem one settled F ¢ se 3 E rag fi Ese cy REE Ontario County council en dorsed the location of an in ternational airport Yonge Street, Toronto, by 29 to 15 vote, provided location meets the opera' criteria established by east the fed: On Site East Of Toronto not be comparable to the Toronto International Airport at Malton in its initial stages.
