ce oe 2 -- Volume 105 - Port Perry, Ontario, Wednesday, July 14, 1971 - No. 38 Ontario Department of Ed- ucation. An Ontario scho- lar is @ grade 13 student who received seven credits for a total of at least 560 'ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Pickard scored 80.7% and Catherine Michel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Michel, R. R. 1, Oshawa, 80.1%. Survey Of Senior Housing Who are senior citizens and how many reside in Port Perry? These are two of the un- answeréd questions council faced last week in handling a request from Ontario Housing Corporation asking for the to- tal number of the Village's senior citizens. The corporation has agreed to conduct a survey of senior citizens here to determine the need of housing for them. But the Village must first determine the number of senior citizens so that OHC can send the required number of questionaires "For a free survey this is too costly," remarked Coun. Howard Hall. "We have to pay the cost of handling the questionaires, mailing them | and publicizing the survey." | Counc. Gerald Jackman asked who would be conside- red a senior citizen and sug- gested jokingly he at age 32 might be classed as one Deputy-Reeve Phil Orde suggested that council pick a number out-of-a-hat and send it to OHC. He said 600 to 300 might be a good enough estimate. Council finally decided to request 300 questionaires from the Corporation. Gev't Subsidy Totals $13,458 The Department of Munci- pal Affairs has informed the Village its subsidy will amount to $13,458 this year. The first instalment of this amount -- $6,000 -- should be in the cerk's hands by this week and will help offset the Village's recent payment of its allocation to the County Board of Education. Clerk John Doble wid council last week the Village's subsidy should incresse in the future because the population had increased. The grant, Mr. Doble aid, ie lower than it should be because Port Perry now has population exceeding 2,910 Due Kevin Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Williams, R. R.«2, Port Perry was recently named the best all-round student at Reach Consolidated School No. 1, Prince Albert For his fine accomplishment the winner received a plaque | presented to him by Mrs. Bruce Sneigrove, U.C.W. president. His name will be added to the list of earlier students who were successful in previous years and the plaque will be kept in the school. For his own safe-keeping Kevin will receive a small cup and a sum of money. Bylaw Describes Signs But Regulations Absent Determining what consti- tutes a sign is amply described in a Port Perry bylaw but regulations governing their use isn't. Council discovered this to ite surprise last week when considering a building permit application from Phil Goreski to erect a sign at his Centen- nial restaurant on Water Street. A check with the Village bylaws produced descriptions covering almost every concei- vable sign but none to cover thelr uses. Since it had no bylaw governing sign use, council jlast Friday.

The ii. goth birthday at the / The Reach Protective Ass-| yr Too High' A letter from Philips Plan- ning and Engineering Ltd-of Burlington offering its service to the Village was met with slightly less than hostility at the last council session. The main objection was the cost of the service and the way in which the letter was worded. "One thing's for sure," said Deputy' Reeve Phil Orde, "we are going to get soaked every- time we call. | "It'll probably cost us about $100-a-call." Coun. Howard Hall objec- ted to the wording of the letter saying: "That's quite a letter . . . it doesn't tell us anything." Coun. Gerry Jackman, sug- gested that perhaps the Vil- lage's solicitor could handle some of the matters rather than proceed through the con- sulting firm.
