east of Oshawa in 1790 Soon Windsor Bay (or what we know as Port Whitby) had sprung into a fine shipping port because of its natural assets in that direction. In 1793 the Great Lakes coastline Indian trail was transformed into a Bil Swan known as the United Church of Canada. Rev. Charles Gordon strongly favored that union, and had worked hard to accomplish it. As a Canadian, he is remembered as we remem- ber Canadians: vaguely, and in an academic way, with some feeling of inferiority. Had Gordon moved to the States, as he had the opportunity to do, Ralph Connor would have been an American writer. As such, he would be next to a national hero. He would be the subject of at least one television special, if not a weekly series. Today, a plaque commemorates his accomplish- ments in a small country church at Harrington, Ont. in the northern end of West Zorra Township. SMALL CAR CENTRE 030 EUCLID ST..

The Lynde House, now Whitby's museum, was built in 1804 as a military post and stage coach stop. Traffic along this road soon influenced development along it drawing away from the importance of Windsor Bay, and uptown Whitby first took root at Hamers' Corners one mile east of our present four corners with the opening of a store and a post office. Then in 1836 there arrived in the area a man by the name of Peter Perry, a farmer from the Lennox and Adington counties. He, two sons, and other men established a grain business with six outlets from Whitby to Lindsay. A store at the present Dundas and Brock four corners, where the Bank of Commerce is now situated, boasted a sign "Peter Perry at Home". It was not long before this spot was referred to as Perry's Corners or Radical Corners, for Mr. Perry was an ar- dent Reformer of the day. Perry's Corners soon became the heart of the future town dwar- fing in industry and im- portance the earlier established Windsor Bay and Hamers' Cor- ners. That Peter Perry in- fluenced greatly the direction of Whitby is a long known fact. He was a prominent and public- spirited man who also left his mark on both the FROM PG. 4 c figure federal and local gover- nment of the day. He was a zealous advocate of "Responsible Gover- nment" but not to the radical degree displayed by William Lyon Mackenzie. To sum up Whitby's founder please consider a quote from the Canadian Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-made Men published in 1880 by the people of Mr. Perry's era: "In private as well as in public, Mr. Perry lived and eminently useful life, being kind to the poor and a friend to everybody. His generosity was sometimes imposed upon, but he preferred to "err on virtue's side rather than stop to inquire into the actual merits and demerits of every applicant's claims for aid". He held connection, we believe, with no church, but was a liberal supporter of the Gospel and of benevolent societies. In short, his life was spent for the benefit of his neighbours, his con- stituents, and his coun- try, and he knew not what it was to tire in such noble work." A year later in 1881 a similar volume of dif- ferent publisher said of Peter Perry's death: "He was a serious loss to Whitby and its neigh- bourhood, the prosperity of which he had done more than any other man of his time to advance." SEE PG. 13 have never requested binding arbitration before, previous attem- pts to set up à viable negotiating mechanism have all been unsuc- cessful, said Nugent. This round, the physicians say they are "not going to give up." Nugent anticipates resistance from the ministry, however. "My guess is that the gover- nment is reluctant to implement binding ar- bitration because it would open the door for other professionals to demand the same thing. FROM PG.3. George Ashe bas recently given Dr. Morgentaler a billing num- ber with OHIP. I am concerned that the Premier, with the advice of one or more of his senior ministers, is taking a giant step in his attempt to change what has been traditional values in this Province. What will be next in this "values" change? Premier Peterson must make his position clear with the people of Ontario. Either he must stand up for the law as it now stands, or publicly change his previous position and press for an amendment to the Criminal Code that will allow clinics like Dr. Morgentaler's to operate. By trying to please all people on as sensitive an issue as this, Peterson is simply calling into question his credibility as a leader and as Premier. •PHON E 683-1968 218 HARWOOD AVE., S.

"The government's got to consider whether it wants psychiatric hospitals to work or not ... it cannot depend in- definitely on professionalism and good will of the doctors - these days, that wears a little thin." The association first imposed sanctions against the ministry last December after the government offered doctors a four percent salary increase. "The high-handed arrogance of the government's take-it-or-leave-it at- titude inflamed staff and led to the physicians' refusal to process paperwork or admit new patients from general hospitals. . Doctors in psychiatric hospitals already receive salaries that are 30 percent below their counterparts in private practise, Nugent says. The refusal to admit certain patients has had a marked impact, he added, with Whitby Psych admitting only 50 patients in December as compared to the monthly average of 120. Friday's meeing is to determine what further sanctions will be im- posed. While the doctors are loathe to further jeopardize patient care by staging walk outs and engaging in other "classic strike tactics" Nugent says they will not let up on the san- ctions until they are "heard".
