PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY v TIMES-GAZETTE » Ly Port Perry Businessmen Were Hosts To District 175 Laud Banquet W.A. Efforts Outstanding The second annual banquet spon- sored by the Port Perry Business- men's Association since the ter- mination of war was held at the Port Perry high school last night and the businessmen played host to the 'farmers. Guest speaker for the evening was Rev, Jack Clough, former pas- tor pastor of the Port Perry Angli- can church and now minister of the Anglican church at Mount Dennis, and his fine speech was lauded by the 175 gentlemen who were pre- sent. ~ Parmers and businessmen merg-1 ed for the evening to socially ce- ment the bonds of friendship be- tween them, and.laughter and good humored chatter resounded through the huge basement of the school for several hours. Businessmen, who throughout the year met the farmers over the shop counters, last might exchanged pleasantries over the dining table. Each discussed the problem of his own line of endeavour, the farmer expostulating on the price of feed concentrates and the shop keeper telling of the complaints he gets from buyers on the high cost of living. . Old friends met and talked over the election results, the world situ- ation, the new look and the 'state of the weather. Strangers met, talked and became friends as the atmosphere of goodfellowship in- stilled itself info all who were pre- sent. Much credit for the success of the evening rightfully falls into the laps of the Women's Associa- tion of the Port Perry United ehurch who were responsible for the catering. A happy blending of skill and ar- tistry on behalf of the ladies was obvious in the tastefully set tables that ran the full lengtth of the large school basement. Flags had been expertly draped at each end of the building cunningly, masking the basketball nets, and freshly cut flowers had beem cleverly arranged in an attractive vase-on the head table. The decorations were surpass- ed only by the outstanding quality of the meal and its success with the diners was self evident in re- peated calls for "seconds". Plates went back into the kitch- eng for re-fills with astounding regularity and the introduction of an assortment of pies ranging from lemon right through to raisin, but- terscotch and pumpkin to straw- erry, was greeted with much en- husiasm. t Apart from the fine quality of e meal the most outstanding and azing feature for many was the iclency with whifh the serving as carried out. The long 'drawn- ut procedure of passing plates down the line of tables resulting in the top of the table completing eir meal before the bottom had begun, was, in some magical man- ner, cleverly overcome and all pre- sent appeared to start eating at the same time, The growning glory to a success- ful evening was provided by pupils of the Ward Dancing School, who tapped their talented feet to the delight of *a most appreciative gathering. To the fast stepping melody of Ireland, little Diane McNeil and her tner, Muriel Walker, danced ghtly as in the true spirit of the gay Colleens. 4+ Marion Rodd twisted and turn- ed with artistic polish in a clevrr- ly executed number entitled "Novel- ette." On the same program Carol Ashenhurst and Helen Paridine brightly rattled off a sparkling presentation entitled "Twinkle Tap- rs." Perfect timing, astounding rhy- thm and crystal clear tapping on the parts of Joan Ray and Shirley St. John in their execution of "Swing Sisters brought a round of thunderous applause demanding an encore. Mrs, Ward was thanked for sup- plying the entertainment and con- gratulated on the fine dancing ex- hibition put on by her pupils. Officiating at the head table last night were Rev. Wesley C. Smith, minister of the Port Perry United Church, Reeve Hayes, Dr. J. Lundy, chairman of the Port Pe: Boy Scouts; O. S. Beare, presiden of the Port Perry Businessmen's Association; W. H. Pool, immediate past president; J, J. Gibson, 1st vice-president; W. M. Letcher, for- mer Port Perry reeve; T. D. Wil- son, The Times-Gazette general manager, and James Crane, prin- cipal of the high school, Assisting in last night's banquet were association secretary George Emmerson, treasurer Gordon Ree- sar, who introduced the head table; William Bedre, 2nd vice-president, and M. Dowson, 3rd vice. In a brief speech T. D, Wilson, expressed his pleasure at being able to attend the function and stated that it was always a delight for him to come to Port Perry and enjoy the "invigorating peacefulness of this happy little community." "From this friendly little village men and. women of humble be- ginnings have launched out into the world and became prominent in metropolises and I feel confi- dent that those men and women who' have achieved such remark- able usccess are as proud of the vil- lage of Port Perry ds the villagers are of them." Mr. Wilson paid tribute to the late Samuel Farmer, publisher of the Port Perry Star, and said of Mr. Farmer, "he was not only a distinguished writer and newspaper man, but also a 'person of kindly, human understanding." Eastern Star Members Get Four Degrees The first general meeting of the recently formed Eastern Star, Blue Ray Chapter, 238 in Port Perry was held last night and degrees wete conferred on four local can- didates. A number of guest from Oshawa, Bowmanville and Toronto chapters attended the first general business meeting and included Mrs. E. An- derson, Durham chapter, Bowman- ville; Dist.

L. guest of the association, Wilson, managing director of The Times zette and Times-Gazette Staff Photo In an address before some 175 gentlemen attending the annual Port Perry Businessmen's Associa- tion banquet in the Port Perry high school last night, Rev. Jack Clough, guest speaker, extolled the magnificent. spirit of the people of the United Kingdom during the war and of their {fine religious history. \ . Clough, who, during the war was padre for the Queen's Own Rifles, told of his visits to the many eitles and hamlets in England and his journeys to the many famous cathedrals. The speaker, now minister of the Mount Dennis Anglican ¢hurch and was formerly pastor of the Port Perry 'Anglican church, said of his return visit to the village: "It is a delightful experience that I shall long remember. Coming back and meeting old friends is always a treat that I thoroughly enjoy and in Port Petry I seem to have had the good fortune to have cultivat- ed a group of friends that are the finest of any." Rev. Clough remarked that there were several noticeable changes for the "better in the community and cited the new school, theatre and Talented Dancers Thrill Audience Businessmen Hear Rev. Jack Clough, Banquet Speaker "a few dabs of paint about that cheer things up." Mr. Clough was non-committal on the liquor vote pending in the village, but took the view that he was not averse to drinking, provid- ed those doing it did not 'exchange a gass for a bucket." He praised the English method of drinking where the public go to a "pub" and spend the night having a social evening over a few ales and a game of darts, "Here it seems to be a question of drinking as much as possible in 'the shortest possible time," Mr. Clough said and sagely added, "but then in England they've been drinking for several hundred years and perhaps have learned the knack of doing it. nicely." Mr. Clough termed the drunken- ness of Canada as an indication of a "great moral and spiritual lack" and spoke of the thousands chronic alcoholics in the United States. The speaker skyrocketed to fame in 1939 when through his gallant action a little girl was saved from drowning in Lake Scugog. The youngster toppled into eight feet of water and the minister plunged fully clothed into the water and dragged her from the bottom of the lake, The girl was unconscious when he hauled her onto the shore and Mr. Clough applied artificial res- piration, forcing the youngster back to consciousness.' ) The minister modestly brushes aside any comment on his heroic action, but takes great satisfaction and amusement from the stories which went abrodd at the time, stating him to have drowned while attempting to save the child. "Bverywhere I went for the rest of the week people looked at me in amazement and would say, 'Hey! You're suppores to be dead,' and for the first several hours my friends discussed funeral arrange- ments," Mr. Clough said. of. Rain Halts Lions Party The yearly Port Perry Lions Pic- nic took place at Stevenson's Point on Wednesday and 50 members and their wives and friends attended the long-looked-for event. An {ll-timed irainfall interrupted the gala celebration shortly after the picnic supper had begun and the gathering was welcomed to Don Crogier"s house on the Island where the balance of the event took place. The group was entertained by Norman Macintosh, public relations dirgetor of the CP.R., who under- took to read the handwriting of any of the group. "His judgment was amazing" said one member. "He . had - my wife's disposition down to a "T"", Prior to the downpour the party organized a ball game while the la- dies sét about preparing the pic- nic lunch which the member: brought with them. Beer Liquor Detrimental Rev. Wesley C. Smith, minister of the United church in Port Perry told The Times-Gazette today that he thought that the issuing of liquor and beer licenses in the vil- lage would not be "for the better- ment of the village in general and for the young people in particular." Mr. Smith took the stand that the keeping of Port Perry drink free would not ih anyway damage the tourist trade and stated that "Oril- lia, one of the most prosperous va- cation places, is dry and Had been for many years and that the tourist business had in no way suffered.' Mr. Smith felt that to legalize liquor automatically makes it re- spectable in the eyes of young peo- ple and put beverage rooms and liquor stores on a par with res- taurants and grocery stores, Fewer Employed Yet Payrolls Up, Statistics Show Ottawa, June 25 (CP)--Employ- ment in the eight major industrial divisions continued in May an un- interrupted five-months decline, the Bureau of Statistics reported today. The bureau's index of em- ployment at May 1, based on 1826 as 100, was 185.8, compared with 186.6 for April 1 and 179.6 for May 1, 1047, An important factor was the marked seasonal curtailment in logging operations in eastern and central provinces, the bureau said. Despite the (fractional decrease in employment index, the payroll in- dex showed an increase of 1.4 per cent over April 1. The gain was due largely to the resumption of more Easter holidays, which affected the situation on April 1. Pen capita weekly earnings of employees reported in the eight leading industries was $39.74 at May 1, as compared with $39.04 at April 1 and $35.89 at May 1 last year. The highest average on record was set on May 1. The advance index number for employment in manufacturing was 201.7, compared with 202.0 for April and 195.8 for May, 1947, The index of payrolls showed a rise of 2.8 per cent in the month and was 15.9 per cent higher than at May 1, 1947, The preliminary figure of per cap- ita. weekly earnings in manufactur- ing at May 1 was $40.75, the high- est in 'the period for which bureau statistics are available, The earn- ings figure for April 1, affected by Easter holidays, was $39.60 and stood at $36.27 for May 1, 1947. The preliminary figure of per capita weekly earnings in manu- facturing at May 1 was. $40.75, the highest in the period for which bureau statistics are available. The earnings figure for April 1, affect ed by Easter holidays, was $39.60 and stood at $36.27 for May 1, 1947. The trend of employment from April was downward for Prince Ed- ward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Sas- katchewan and Alberta, with gen- eral improvement noted in the They Went Thataway other provinces. ' In add provinces except Saskatchewan, where there was practically no general change in the 12 months, the advance in- dex numbers of employment at May 1 were higher than those recorded at the same date last year, Haydon Prepares For Anniversary 'MRS.

B. Jolliffe, who leads the CCF party in Ontario, when he says: s Suen) "The choice today is between piecemeal planning in the interests of the few by monopoly papitalism®' on the one hand, and, or the other hand, social and economic planting * the interests of the whole com . unity by an agency of government --responsible and accountable, in 'a democratic way to all the people." . Mr. Jolliffe's political views are well known and, while wé may hot . agree with him, we .respect his convictions. It is soméwhat more difficult however, if he is coret reported, to respect his judgment. The "piecemeal planning in the ine terests of the few by mohopoly capitalism" must include such jtéms * as the billion dollars Canada vol« untarily gave to Britain, and the vast credits established by Canada for Britain and European countries, . It includes South Africa's assists ance in Britain's sterling prohlems. . It includes the Marshall Plan by which the monopoly capitalism of the United States is underwriting the better part of Europe. It ine: cludes the United Nations organiza tions formed in the main, by capit- - alistic governments. It includes. various other agencies whose intent is the restoration of the peace and security and mutual understanding that the world once enjoyed. We don't mind Mr. Jolliffe's make making use of rather dubious arge uments for his own political ends. But it would be well, perhaps, to remind him, and others who think as he does, that if we had walt for the economic planning that i. promises, the world would probably have been dead before the plans became effective. Meanwhile, "mon. opoly capitalism" is going quietly about its business of saving a world _ - which is in the interests of most us--in a way that may not to be the liking of Mr. Jolliffe, but does show noisy effort to convince a world considerable promise. All the rather that is being saved the wrong way ignores the very simple fact that men who bitterly need salvation are less interested in the road than in the goal, 4 was with her parents on Sunday.
