Pastor Stresses Value Of Resolutions Following is the first in a series of articles dealing with the early history of Ontario County and its towns, villag- es and townships. Much of the information regarding the county is contained in "The Illustrated History of the County of Ontario," published in Toronto in 1877, which was loaned to The Oshawa Times by John Drydon, of Brook- lin, a member of a pioneer family. Prior to 1852, Ontario County was included in and formed part of the County of York, which comprised what are now the counties of Peel, York and Ontario. It was not until Jan, 1, 1852 that the county became a@ separate municipality. Under the terms of procla- mation issued by King George Ill July 16, 1792, Lieut.-Gov, Simcoe divided Upper Canada into 19 counties of which York was the 14th. Under the terms of the 1852 proclamation the sented the Counties of Lennox and Addington as the colleague of Marshall S. Bidwell in the provincial legislature for 12 years from 1824. Mr. Perry, who engaged in an extensive mercantile busin- ess, set himself up at once to work with an energy and de- termination quite characteris- tic of the man to the improve- ment of the section of the coun- ty in which he had taken up residence. The Centre Road, -- a road running through the centre of the county from Port Whitby to its northern limits -- was his darling scheme from the first but he did not spare his ef- forts in behalf of all other works of public utility. His helpful aid was readily given to all projects designed to pro- mote the itnerests of this sec- tion of the county . He was the public and private benefactor and many farmers owed him the farms they occuped to him, COUNTY ONCE LINKED TO YORK County Breeders Win included the southern section of Ontario County, his influence and the vigor 'of a_ strong mind were devoted in that dir- ection. He long and earnestly worked for it and although he did not live to see his ac- complishment, he laid the foun- dation for separation and inde- pendence as well as Whitby being the cotinty town. He-died Aug. 24, 1851, at the compar. atively early age of 58. Had Peter Parry lived another 10 years the railway from Whit- by to Georgian Bay would have been built and, in all proba- bility Whitby, with its harbor and surrounding advantages, would have become a city ri- valling Toronto. Peter Perry left several dau- ghters and two sons, Robert E, Perry and John Ham Perry. The latter, after his father's death, played an important part in the municipal and political history of the County of Ontar- io, He continued, with his friends to agitate for separation to a A very humorous and timely poem "The Week After Christ- mas" was yead by Mrs. Loyal Pogue at (Almonds United Church Women Afternoon Group January me ting.

Two Participants Withdraw From Centennial Debate LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- An unscheduled debate on debating style resulted in two partic- ipants withdrawing in protest froma Canadian university cen- tennial debate Friday and Sat- urday. Twenty-six universities, from Vancouver to St. John's, took part. It was won by the Univer- sity of Saskatchewan, which defeated Sir George Williams University of Montreal in a final televised round Saturday. Bi- shop's University of Lennoxville, Que., placed third. George Aggus and Geoffrey Payne, debaters for Hamilton's McMaster University, withdrew Friday night after being de- feated in their first two debates. They complained angrily against judges and debaters using Canadian parliamentary debating style as opposed to the American style. EXPLAINS DIFFERENCE Stuart Rush, speaker for the debates, explained that the par- liamentary style places more emphasis on style, language, diction, delivery and wit than on volume of information and number of authorities quoted. "They said that if they had been informed that we were going to use the parliamentary style, they wouldn't have come at all," Mr. Rush said. "Of course they had been informed of this. We feel that thetr diffi- culty was their own fault." He said other teams which were used to the American style found no difficulty in making the switch. The tournament was a centen- nial project of the Debating Union of the University of West- ern Ontario, largely subsidized by a $4,500 grant from the federal centennial commission, and debating topics had a cen- tennial theme, Each term performed four times, taking both sides of the resolution "That the Canadian Confederation experiment is a County of York was dissolved and the Village of Whitby was designated as the county town of the new county, PRIME MOVER Peter Perry was the prime mover in agitating for the sepa- ration from York and the erec- ty ting of Ontario into an He settled in Whitby in 1836, having repre- pendent county. mei tN itt He was the people of of York. inde- MAN OF SAGACITY a remarkable man of great shrewdness and saga- city who early saw how much Ontario County would be benefited by a sepa- rate existence from the Coun- As .a member of the United Counties Council and as a member of the legislature representing the sion in riding which Poet To Represent Canada At Festival By CAROL ANDERSON OTTAWA. (CP) -- Honored as one of Ottawa's outstand- ing young men, one of six literary figures to represent Canada at the 1965 Common- wealth Festival in Wales... Father and author of four books of poetry, composer of a hit rock 'n' roll song, Dirty Shame... This doesn't-.sound- much like a young man who once wrote: "Generally the past is more difficult than the future. And I don't know what I can say about my lack of either." But at 25, versatile William Hawkins has accomplished all this. To meet Hawkins in his blue jeans and suede jacket, success'? in prepared debates and also taking either sup- porting or opposing positions on a semi - prepared resolution, "That Canadians do have more fun," and on the impromptu resolution, "That A Permanent Colony is an ideal title for a history of Canada." | | with his long brown hair, Lord Dufferin mustache and steel- rimmed glasses, one would pass him of as a typical mod young man. But there is much more to him than meets the eye. His career as a writer started when he joined The Canadian Press as a copy boy at the age of 16. "It seems, however, that I wasn't really suited to being a reporter, so the night editor suggested that I try writing poetry." DIDN'T MAKE A CENT Shortly after this he pub- lished his first volume of poetry, Shoot Low Sheriff, They're Riding Shetland Ponies. "A friend and I combined to write this and we put out 300 copies. Within a year it was out of print. "The disappointing part however, is that we later learned it was being put out in hard cover by a Toronto firm and selling at $4.50 a copy--and we didn't get a cént from it. Very disillusion- ing." Since then he has published three other books of poetry, Louis Riel, in 1962, Hawkins, 1963, and Ottawa Poems, 1965. "I guess the greatest influ- ence of my writing was the summer I spent at the Uni- versity of British Columbia studying under Olson and Ginsberg, Other poets have always been encouraging, es- pecially Irving Layton. "Of course, I have an in- centive--hunger. But in Can- ada one-can't expect-to-live by poetry. It's a doomed art form, That's why so many poets are turning to the music industry. And what would be more natural; after all, that's where it all started." Hawkins, whose songs have been recorded by the Es- quires, the Stormy Clovers and the Townsmen, also man- ages the Children, a_ well- known Ott awa rock 'n' roll group, and has started his own blues band, the Heavenly Blue.
