SENIOR CITIZENS' HOUSING Will Conduct Survey The question of the need for proper housing for senior citizens of Port Perry again came up for discussion at the last council meeting. This was a follow-up letter to one received about three weeks ago from Ontario Hous- ing Corporation and 300 ques- tionaires the Village council had requested. The corporation is willing to make a survey in Port Perry to determine the need of housing for senior citizens in the village and it was for this reason the questionaires were required. These will be distributed to the senior citi- zens of the Village in the near future. However, council is of the opinion the promotion and distribution of the question- aires would be a worthy pro- ject for a service club or perhaps the Senior Citizen Club. Letters were sent to the council received:from Ontario Club suggesting this. Included were also copies of the letter Housing Corporation. The project was discussed at a meeting of the C of Cs executive last week and mem- bers present indicated some interest in assisting the senior citizens of the Village, how- ever, no definite plans were made or decision taken. A meeting is planned for Mrs. Joseph Frey are on vaca next week and the question | tion in Germany and are com-| will in all probability again be | discussed and a decision made -- at that time. : Star Closeng Fer Vacation No publication wil apes of Wednesday August 16 The offece wut Volume 105 - Port Perry, Intario, Wednesday, August 4, 1971 - Wo. 47 Jo icc tom Freday Rosie Frey Durham Dairy Princess another "feather in her cap," by capturing the coveted crown and title of Dairy Princess of Durham County Miss Frey, daughter of Mr and Mrs. Joseph Frey, Nestie- ton is well known in Port Perry and area,.a former student of Port Perry High School and for her fine efforts as a public speaker In April, she won top honours in a speaking contest heid in Peterborough, spon sored by District A-3 of Lions Interpational.
