Glendon seeks support by Kevin Scanlon The establishment of Glendon College in a permanent facility would be virtually assured if Penet ish town ¢ il agreed to loan or grant $15,000 toward the project. The chairman of the Penetanguishene- Glendon Implementation Committee, Ray Baker, told a special meeting of council Monday night that all the groundwork has done but the committee has reached an se. fe iG committee appraoched council to arrange a meeting with the finance com- mittee to discuss the proposed $15,000 loan or grant which would be used as a deposit against the purchase price of the White House on Fox Street. A meeting was scheduled for last night and the finance committee will make recom- mendations to council in time for Tuesday night's regular council meeting. Baker said the Glendon committee is taking legal steps to form the Pen-Glen Corporation, a non-profit organization, and is preparing an application for a Wintario grant. 50 pages Penetanguishene citizen Wednesday, May 19, 1976 "Public support is essential to our success with the Wintario application,"' the chairman noted, "'and we intend to proceed with a TV Guide Plus 8 pages, of Colour Comics Vol. 9, No. 20 20 cents $60,000 purchase Town buys gravel pit Penetanguishene town council paid $60,000 for what amounts to a hole in the ground but the purchase could prove to be the most important of the year. The town (exactly four weeks from today) will 'take possession of the gravel pit previously owned by William D. Lediard. The property juts into the proposed town subdivision and had caused some concern for town officials. . The fear had been that continuing gravel pit operations on the site could have created a hazard for residents of the subdivision which would have had a dangerous drop into the pit just beyond several backyards. "T think we're fortunate to be clearing this up in such a short time," Councillor Ken Tannahill said. A clause in the contract which calls for vacating the property in 30 days stipulates that the owner wilNconduct operations at the normal operational yate and not bring in additional trucks and equipment. Councillor Ron Bellisle said Lediard was hauling gravel to his other property on Monday. Mayor Vince Moreau said the town would regulate the "normal" operations. 'That clause protects us," he said. Town Clerk Yvon Gagne said any violation of the clause by the owner implementing a mass-haul operation could force the town into refusing to pay at the end of the 30-day period. The property was the last remaining portion of property in the proposed sub- division which was not owned by the town. The sheds on the property will likely be used by the public works department, at least until the subdivision is developed. --_ "a -- el SSIS | Look, ma -- four hands!

Baker said the organization would probably be asking Wintario for about a third of the initial $325,000 needed for the educational facility. Jim Park, publisher of Lakehead Living in Thunder Bay and former managing editor of The Midland Times, was also in attendance and told council there would be "no problem getting a $200,000 mortgage if we can get a downpayment of one quarter (of the price)." Park, who was involved in the Glendon proposal from the beginning, said, "What's important is community involvement." When asked by council if the committee had considered any alternative sites for Glendon, Baker said several facilities had been looked at but the White House "meets our needs as currently planned."' "The (old) post office is bogged down in bureaucracy at the moment," he added, "and the White House is an all-round favorable site."' Baker will be president of the Pen-Glen Corporation with Marcel Bellehumeur the treasurer and Joan Northcott the secretary. There will also be a board of directors. Councillor Mary Rogers declared a conflict of interest at the meeting and explained that she was a member of the implementation committee. She did not take part in the discussion. Baker told council that a lack of financial support from the town would leave the committee "'flogging a dead horse'. "Even if we don't use it (the $15,000) we have to put it down to show municipal sup- port to Wintario," he said. In setting the meeting Mayor Vince Moreau noted the urgency of the matter but warned that he was saving all of his questions for the finance committee session. Hit and run reported here Penetanguishene town police are looking for the driver of a blue vehicle who struck a youngster at the corner of Main and Robert Streets Monday. Thirteen-year-old Cathy Marchand, of 98 Poyntz Street, was crossing Main Street on a green light when the vehicle, making a right- hand turn onto Robert Street West, struck her in the legs. The girl was taken to Penetanguishene General Hospital, treated for bruises and released. Police Chief John Geere said the driver, a woman, looked at the child then kept on going. He said it was possible the woman did not know she had hit the girl. Constable Tom Tiffin investigated the accident which was reported at 4:45 p.m. Council notes 45 Penetang! town il voted to accept a tender for $4,000 from Don Sherk Construction for the construction of a road base on Laurier Road. The Sherk bid was $500 lower than a tender from a Collingwood firm, Harry Hamilton Construction. The work involves removing material from a cut section on MacDonald Road and placing the material in a fill section on Laurier Road. Council also agreed at the special meeting Monday to have a 'homemade' sewer on Poyntz Street replaced by the public works department. The cost of replacing the 100-foot stretch of sewer made from old hot water tanks will be about $2,000. The stretch runs in front of the Knights of Columbus Hall. Youth killed A Midland youth is dead following a collision between a dump truck and the car he was driving. Paul Cadieux, 19, Yonge Street, was killed Monday afternoon on Highway 12 just west of Victoria Harbour. Cadieux was driving west on Highway 12 following another vehicle. According to OPP spokesmen, he attempted to pass the car on the right shoulder but when pulling back onto the road, crossed over into the eastbound lane and collided with the truck. Richard Thompson, 32, Yonge Street, Elmvale, was the driver of the truck. He was not seriously injured in the accident. Damage to the dump truck has been estimated at $5,000. Evening school The Simcoe County Board of Education has approved the continued coordination in the Penetanguishene area of the regular evening school program and the instructional programs of the Penetanguishene Arena, Parks and Recreation Board, and LeCentre d'Activite Francaises, under the St. Joseph's Evening School. The registration fees for the St. Joseph's Evening School program will be set at the same time as those for the rest of the county. In November, 1975 the Board approved the formation of a Penetanguishene Community School program to coordinate the programs offered by the Penetanguishene Arena, Parks and Recreation Board, LeCentre d'Activite Francaises and St. Joseph's Evening School. Over 1100 people enrolled in the 10 week course which began in January and ended in late March. A second session of 12 classes was started in April and will be finished in June. Those enrolled in the courses come from Penetanguishene, Tiny, Tay and Midland. nie RR ERE BS Tom Pauze, of Penetanguishene Secondary School, shows his winning form on his way to The federal government should im- mediately start a full immunization cam- paign to protect Canadians from polio this summer, the member of parliament for Simcoe North told the House of Commons last week. Dr. Philip B. Rynard said he was con- cerned that 'every step be taken to ensure _that those who have not been immunized will "be-before attending the Olympic Games-"' In comments directed to Health Minister Make Lalonde, Rynard added that he was disturbed by the question of whether or not previous immunization campaigns have been sufficient to ensure safe immunity to polio. "When you look at the age group four to six and see that only 65 per cent had immunity, it would indicate that this is not adequate protection,"' he said, quoting a 1969 survey by medical officers in 15 areas (one of which was Barrie). Lalonde said the government has enough vaccine to meet the demands of anyone who wishes a vaccination. The health minister stressed that the vaccinations are not good for life and that people should be vaccinated every five years. "Unfortunately, a lot of people have dded Pay First in hurdles Track Meet held in Midland last week. For the seventh year in a row PSS took the first place in the junior hurdles at the CKMP_ overall victory at the meet. The PSS relay Rynard urges anti-polio campaign Rynard said a drive should be started to encourage immunization. "T would suggest that the minister, in his capacity as senior minister of health in = Dr. Philip Rynard MP Sy Photo by Pat Fitzgerald teams were. particularly strong in their events. For more pictures and the full results of the meet see page 13. Canada, urge that a full immunization program be started without delay," he said. The Simcoe North MP pointed out to the House that he was medical officer of health in Ontario during two polio epidemics before polio vaccine. "Anyone who has been through such an epidemic, and who has seen those cases and the number who died or were left crippled, would-be concerned by-the present attitude,' he said. He mentioned that he had witnessed the deaths of young mothers, young men and children. "J will not elaborate on this," Rynard added, "but I wonder how many of the present generation have forgotten the days before Salk vaccine."" The doctor also urged that an im- munization program be started immediately so that youngsters could be vaccinated before school gets out for the summer. Lalonde said several reminders had been mailed along with the family allowance checks from the federal government but that "they (the parents) have to realize their own responsibilities in this respect." McGuire lights campaign moving The campaign to raise funds to pay for part of the lighting system at McGuire Park has peat to move even though it is only 10 days old. Campaign Chairman Councillor Frances St. Amant said this week she is encouraged by the amount of support shown already when the campaign is still in its planning Stage. 5 "We have written to the bulk of businesses for donations," she said, "and people have started dropping by the house with personal donations." The first major event of the campaign will be a Dance-a-thon at Penetanguishene Secondary School on June 4. The dance-a-thon which was organized completely by PSS stud 1 f hours and the dancers will be sponsored. Rick Lemieux, a local disc jockey, will provide his services for the event free of charge. The disc jockey will also be appearing free at a dance being organized for the Curling Club for July 2. "We're hoping that will be a big one," St. Amant said. Some of the men's softball teams have started discussing a tournament for the summer but that has not yet been finalized. Since the night use of the ball diamond is the main purpose behind putting up the eight concrete posts with 34 fixtures divided amongst them it is not surprising that ball games will be used to generate funds. But they 't be the normal type of ball The scene of the accident at Peel and Simcoe streets game. On July 25 the California Cuties will provide the entertainment during an exhibition game. St. Amant described the team as 'a bunch of men who dress up as girls." Jack and the Jesters featuring the legendary trick pitcher Rusty Sparks are interested in playing but a date for their game has not yet been worked out. The lights are expected to go up sometime in July in time for late August when the shorter days and the schedules really get fouled up. The campaign must raise $6,000 in order for the project to qualify for the Wintario grant of $7,800. No injuries in four vehicle collision A four-vehicle pileup in Penetanguishene at the intersection of Peel and Simcoe Streets Monday afternoon caused a total of $1,300 damage to the three cars and truck involved.
