Staff photo Town's Winterama program set The program for Penetanguishene's _Winte- rama has been finalized according to Paul Rollinson, a co-chairman of the Win- terama committee. At a meeting last Thur- sday night at the Centre D'Activites Francais committee members pieced together the final events for Ontario's longest running winter carnival. Missing from the program this year are the snowmobile races which Rollinson said are "simply too expensive to finance." Earlier the committee had announced that the traditional dog sled races would also be dropped for the same reason. In place of these two traditional events this year's winterama committee is stressing activities which it hopes will involve more people in the community. New events such as the toboggan slalom, a log sawing contest, and snowshoe races are designed to fill the gap created by the cutting of the snowmobile and dog sled races. Instead of running all the Winterama activities on Penetanguishene Bay as in past years, Winterama 1975 will operate out of four Zz Z Z Z FOR HOME CARE locations: McGuire Park, the Centre D'Activites Francaises, an area for the toboggan slalom, and the old Dominion Store on Robert Street West beside the town offices. A craft show and sale which has already been booked up will be held at the old Dominion Store. In keeping with Penetanguishene's _cente- nary, as an organized municipality the craft show will feature lifestyle demonstrations of 100 years ago - spinning, quilting, and pottery making. A fantasy land created out of old Christmas trees and ice sculptures will be located next to the Dominion Store. Committee members said the full Winterama program will be released to the press on the week preceeding the festival. While the program has been finalized suggestions are still welcomed. People who have any specific suggestions for the carnival are asked to phone the French Centre at 549-8594 or Christine Rollinson at the Odd Copy Bookshop (549- 8167). Winterama announcements Floats DISCOUNT Persons interested in entering a float in the Winterama parade should phone Tim Robitaille after 5 p.m. at 549-2271. The entry fee for floats is $5.00. The design of floats is optional although spokesmen for the committee suggest building entries around the cen- tennial theme - Floats will be judged on their appearance with a first prize of $50 and a trophy being awarded.

Questioning PGH child care The question of treating a child at the Penetanguishene General Hospital even if the child's doctor does not have privileges there was discussed at last Wed- nesday's meeting of the Simcoe County Board of Education. The Board reviewed a report from the Board's French language advisory committee regarding the question of what happens if a - child living in Midland at- tending Ecole Publique St. Joseph in Penetanguishene if injured is taken to Penetanguishene General Hospital. It was pointed out by Elmvale-Flos-Wasaga Beach trustee Mrs. Wendy MacKenzie that if the child's family doctor was a Midland doctor who did not have privileges at the Penetanguishene Hospital, the child would be seen at the hospital by the doctor who was on Call at the time. However, the child at no time would be refused treatment at the hospital. DELIVER The Penetanguishene Citizen cALL 549-2012 ana leave your name.
