Her husband, Reverend R.T. Dwelly, was the Reverend for the parish from 1930 to 1944. Mrs. Dwelly entertained the crowd with a few anecdotes about her years in Penet: i and Rey. Sid Maddock said a short prayer and announced he will be leaving the parish During the afternoon there were beautiful homemade crafts sold, delicious baked goods, lemonade and a fish pond for the little ones. Fresh strawberry shortcake was featured at the outdoor tea and one good glimpse of the sumptious cake was all the advertising that was needed. Visitors could also try their luck on a draw for a handmade quilt or bid on the many items auctioned. Members of the parish were interested to find a booklet on sale detailing the 100-year history of All Saints Anglican Church. Special china commemorating the event was also available. Birthdays are a happy occasion and the birthday of All Saints Anglican Church was a festive one which will be remembered by many. Moves on to mission work this month Four years in Penetang It will be with mixed emotions that Reverend Sidney Maddock and his family leave the town of Penetanguishene at the end of this month to take up duties in Bramalea North. Reverend Maddock said last week that he and his family will miss the town, where they have been made to feel most welcome over the past four years, but are looking forward to moving back to the city, and to the challenge of setting up a parish in a com- munity with a potential 1,000-plus Anglican families and no established parish. The Maddocks arrived in town on August 1, 73. "I arrived in this Christian community (Aown as Penetanguishene, and have spent four rich and rewarding years here," he said. He came from a parish of about 1,000 families at St. Margarets in the Pines, in West Hill, to take over the two long established congregations of All Saints Anglican Church, and St. dJames-on-the-lines. He said that in Bramalea North, where he will be going into what he considers {o be the mission field, there isn't even an established congregation, let alone structures \like the two Penetanguishene churches, one 140 years old, and the other a mere 100 years old. He was called to the new area by the Bishop's office, and won't be working for a parish per se, but for the Church Extension and Development Committee of the Toronto Diocese. He said he will be operating mainly out of his home, and out of a portable church, which last Easter held 200 communicants. He pointed out that this year, by comparison, there were about~125 Easter communicants at All Saints, and about 200 altogether, in- cluding St. James-on-the-lines, in Penetanguishene. Reverend Maddock has done much in Penetanguishene besides his work within the church. He has been on the town's amalgamated board for four years, including one year as chairman. He has served on the Huronia Social Planning Council, and was chairman of that body last year. In the field of sports, Reverend Maddock organized a house league Juvenile Hockey program, and has run it for the past three years. That league was sponsored by the Penetanguishene Police Association. Also above and beyond his parish duties, he has had the opportunity of ministering to the Masonic Order, being named district chaplain to the order twice in the past four years. His area of responsibility covered eer and planners that although Tiny's official plan, prepared in 1971, projected an eventual population for the township of about 100,000 people, subsequent secondary plans had indicated that the target population figure should be as low as 20,000 people. He pointed out that the township was trying to restrict developments, and _ in- dicated that it intended to apply this policy to the Highway 27 area as well. x Penetanguishene Mayor Vince Moreau took advantage of the time allotted him at the meeting to give a rundown of planning ac- lish: in P i over the past few years, and to express concern that if the Highway 27 strip were developed ex- tensively, it could hurt the downtown mer- chants. He also pointed out that if the strip were allowed to become conjested like the strip on the outskirts of Barrie, with a stop light every hundred yards, people might find it difficult to reach the town, which lies right at the end of the highway. Midland Mayor Moreland L¥nn told the group he was glad to see the cooperative spirit being shown at the meeting and said the meeting had been a long time coming. He said it was "'only the people in this room who feel the bump in the road, when crossing from one municipality to another." He said the general public was not conscious of the borders between the municipalities, and he stated that the planners and councillors present at the meeting should take the same perspective in planning as the public. He asked Midland councillor Richard Platt to give a rundown on the problems with development on Highway 27 involving the Midland Little Lake watershed. Platt told the ws The fishpond was a main attraction for the wee folks at the 100th birthday celebration of All Saints Anglican Church on Saturday. 'Fish' group that half of the watershed, or about 1,000 acres, lay within the Township of Tiny. He said the most recent study done on the lake, the Canadian British study, showed that the lake was fit for swimming at present, but if much development was allowed to occur within the watershed area, storm water treatment facilities would be needed in order to keep Little Lake suitable for swimming. Midland has recently passed a bylaw to restrict development within the watershed, but Platt and several other Midland representatives, including Reeve Sam Ancio and Deputy Reeve Bill Ogilvie, pointed out that if development were allowed in the section of the watershed lying in Tiny, the town's efforts would have been a waste of time The only representative of Tay Township present at the meeting, Dave Moore, told the group Tay was only marginally interested in the problem, since it is not directly affected. He said, though, that the township was interested from an area standpoint, and wanted to see the highway link maintained as a highway link, not as a commercial area. Tiny Reeve Morris Darby attempted to allay the fears of the Midland represen- tatives about the Little Lake situation, and told them Tiny was very much concerned about the quality of the water in Little Lake. "We have taken the attitude that we don't want to see much highway development, partially because of the runoff problem," he said. 'But we need help in coming up with answers for applicants who want to develop on Highway 27." cont'd p.2 luck Edward Lacroix Jr. tries his luck with the fishing rod and Andrew Thompson, foreground, was on hand to help out. great: Rev. S.Maddock Collingwood, Cookstown, Barrie, Orillia, Victoria Harbour, Coldwater, Midland, Penetanguishene and Elmvale. He also has had the privilege of ministering as the Anglican Chaplain at Penetanguishene General Hospital and Oak Ridge, where he has conducted Sunday services once a month, on top of his regular visiting duties. "The four years really have been great,"' he said. "The opportunities for someone who wishes to become involved in the community are inumerable."" "In Penetanguishene, if you're interested you're welcomed in. They accept you quickly." According to Reverend Maddock, the leading churchmen in the area are all ot top calibre, and he said he has enjoyed getting together with them on such things as com- munity services. Worked in construction field Reverend Maddock has not been a minister all his adult life. Before he was called to the ministry he spent 15 years in the construction business as an excavating contractor. He said that when his fellow workers gave him a sendoff prior to his going back to Wycliffe College at University ot 'Yoronto, they told him some people would move earth and Come on guys - dig in!

Staff photo News briefs Bellisle on joint Hwy. 27 study Penetanguishene coucillor and planning board member Ron Bellisle will be the town's representative on the joint committee being set up to study development on Highway 27. Bellisle was named in a motion passed at last night's council meeting. He will join representatives from Tiny and Midland on the committee, which will attempt to come up with policies and guidelines regarding future development along the highway between Highway 12 and the Penetanguishene town limits.

OPP recover stolen vehicles It was like mutual assistance week over the weekend in Penetanguishene and Barrie, as Penetanguishene police recovered a vehicle stolen in Barrie, and Barrie OPP recovered a truck stolen in Penetanguishene. The Penetanguishene boys in blue received a report at 8:00 a.m. Friday of a van stolen from St. Amant plumbing on Robert Street. The van and all the plumbing tools inside, were recovered undamaged in Barrie on Sunday morning at 11:40, by the Ontario Provincial Police in Barrie. Then on Sunday at 4:00 p.m., Penetanguishene police recovered a vehicle stolen from Barrie. The owner of that vehicle wasn't as lucky as St. Amant Plumbing, though, as the vehicle was found completely burned out at the end of Chathan Street. No seat belts, accident fatal A single car accident in the construction zone on county road 29 last Thursday took the life of the lone occupant of the vehicle in- volved, 69 year old Mary Stansbury of Balm Beach. According to the investigation officer, constable Gary Willis of the Elmvale Detach- ment of the Ontario Provincial Police, The y Vehicle was north bound on county heaven to get things in this world. He had already done the first, they told him, and now he was setting out to see what he could do about the second. Following four years of study at Wycliffe College; he got its "stamp of approval", and nine years ago he entered the ministry. If Reverend Maddock has been taking an active part in the community, the members of his family have hardly been recluses either. His wife Joan, or Joanni, as she is known in the community, has, in a like manner, become part of the active community with her work in the arts and crafts of the district, together with her work' on the Penetanguishene General Hospital auxiliary, and her teaching in the community schools program as a quilting instructor. She has been active in the choirs and ladies groups of both Anglican churches, and has supervised the children's Sunday School program. His son Jamie has enjoyed the social and athletic life at F i road 29 when it entered into the construction zone 500 feet north of concession five of Flos Township. At this point there was a two to three foot drop from the paved road over a short distance. When the front of the car hit the drop, police believe the deceased put her foot on the accelerator instead of the brake in error, causing the vehicle to increase its speed. The car then swirved on the gravel and entered the east ditch, rolling over and throwing Mrs. Stansbury clear of the vehicle. She was rushed to Huronia District Hospital in Midland, where she died later the same day. Contusions to the brain was listed as being the cause of death. When asked if seat belts could have saved the drivers life, constable Willis stated that if Mrs. Stansbury had been wearing both the lap and shoulder belt, she could have sur- vived the accident.
