(K Larry Ford 4 ¥ 4 Work experience benefits students by Terri Howell Larry Ford, from Victoria Harbour wants to be a disc jockey. Nothing unusual about that, except this week Larry had the opportunity to see if he's cut out for the work. Larry, a grade 12 student, spent the week at radio station CKMP. Fifty-four Midland Secondary School students abandoned the classroom this week for work experience in the field of their choice. "They tried to place us in jobs related to what we want to do,"' says Larry adding, "it's better to learn right on the job." Larry has been doing a multitude of things at CKMP, to learn about the entire radio operation. "I did a news story for'a news cast, I taped a commercial and I've been observing Ken Roland in action. I've been absorbing as much as I possibly can," he says. Larry became interested in radio through his uncle, who lives next door and has a large stereo. His uncle listens to a United States FM station that Larry says plays "great music" and had good disc jockeys. He wants to be a disc jockey for a rock station. Larry's plans include attending Fanshaw College next year, 'If I can raise the tuition." He says at Fanshaw, students in the radio broadcasting course learn to read on the radio, operate the equipment, take English instruction, learn to type and study music. They also learn psychology and sociology, courses which Larry says are valuable to a disc jockey who must please many different kinds and classes of people. The CKMP technicians gave Larry a chance to record his voice in a sound proof room and listen to it. "Tt sounds alright," he says, adding "'they say I sound all right too." For Larry, having the voice recording done made the week completely worthwhile. Before Larry went out on the work week he had never been inside a radio station before. Being there has convinced him that a disc jockey is what he really wants to do. Thirty-two students studying business at MSS were placed in business-related jobs, ~along with twenty students in technical courses. At Penetanguishene Secondary School students also joined the work force for the week. Tenders called for construction at MHC Tenders have been called for the con- struction of a new building on the grounds of the Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre. The new building will be used for industrial therapy storage and as'a trades building. The new complex, will contain ap- proximately 16,000 square feet of floor space. They will house recreational facilities for patients and staff of the MHC, as well as special mechanically equipped painting, carpentry and electrical shops. The project also includes some renovations to the existing trades building, and a small amount of demolition. Construction specifications for the new buildings call for concrete floors and a one- storey format. The new facilities will also conform to the provincial government's energy conservation requirements. Design and contract documents are presently being prepared by the Ministry of Government Services, the branch of the provincial government in charge of con- struction of government facilities throughout Ontario. It is estimated that the project should be completed by February 1979. Mills leaves Free Press Penetanguishene council was presented with a farewell letter from Peter Mills, Free Press Penetanguishene editor, at their last monthly meeting. Mr. Mills has left his job with the Free Press to become the Managing Editor of the Hanover Post. He had been with Free Press for two years, where he served as sports editor, and as Penetanguishene representative for the newspaper. Replacing Peter Mills as_ the Penetanguishene editor is Desmond Mullan, a graduate of Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in Toronto. He has worked for the Ryerson daily newspaper and has also worked as a public relations officer for the Toronto branch of the Canadian Red Cross. Mr. Mullan has also worked as a free-lance graphic artist. The Citizen extends a welcome to the new Penetanguishene representative of the Free Press. We also wish Peter Mills all the best in his new position in Hanover. August 3,4,5, and 6 Summerama un The Penetanguishene Chamber of Com- merce held a meeting on Wednesday night, to begin the organizing of Summerama 1978. The purpose of the meeting was to present a prelimintary agenda, and to attempt to get some commitments from local business and industry for sponsorship. According to Chamber of Commerce ad- ministrator Ruth Rose, the meeting was well- attended and successful. _ The schedule of events is tentative at this time, since it depends greatly on spon- sorship. Summerama dates this year are August 3, 4,5 and 6. A Sidewalk Sale is scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 3, and~should run until Saturday, April 5. An arts and crafts display will be set up by the Huronia Crafts Guild and the Centre d'activites francaises will also be active during Summerama. Carnival rides will be set up for the weekend, but as yet, the location of that event is unknown. Possible sites for the carnival are the old postoffice parking lot, the High Poyntz Mall, one of the parks in the area or ' possibly tne town dock. Another possible event is a street carnival. A number of dances will be held over the weekend, including a disco dance on Friday night. That event will probably be held at the Penetanguishene Curling Club. One of the highlights of the festivities will be a baseball tuurnament that will run all weekend long. A display of radio controlled aircraft may be held, but Mrs. Rose wasn't sure about that event. Another possibility is a_ sailing demonstration. One of the groups that will be helping to run and organize the weekend is Volume 2, Number 17, Folio 34 Distributed free each Friday to every Midland and Penetanguishene household Friday, April 28, 19738 Local schools get new teachers Penetanguishene Secondary School and St. Joseph's Elementary School will each be getting two additional teachers specifically for French language instruction during the 1978-79 school year. The Simcoe County Board of Education followed through with the recommendation which came from an Area 3 committee report, at its Wednesday meeting. The recommendations to hire the ad- ditional staff came out of a meeting between the Area 3 committee and the French Language Advisory Committee on April 19. The four additional teachers will be hired under a new Ontario Ministry of Education proposal which provides for 100 per cent grant funding of French instruction programs in the areas of texts and library books, translation, cultural activities and staffing. The funding program is open to French as a first language instruction only and the Local youngster wins Spring Splash The Spring Splash has finally happened. The Ski-Doo put on Penetanguishene Har- bour by Chalet Sports and Equipment, CKMP and Coke went through the melting ice on Monday, April 24 at about 3:58 p.m. That time is approximate, according to the people at Chalet Sports, but it is as close an estimate as they can gét. The splash occurred much later than most people thought it would. Most of the entrants estimated it would happen between the first and the fifteenth of April. Randy Bidan had no idea when the snowmobile would go Don Ealey, of Chalet Sports and Equipment and Robin Geoffrey of CKMP radio, present grade eight student Randy Bidan with his board must establish with the ministry, an outline of its long-term plans for French education, the money needed and the procedures to be followed in implementing the French programs. Under the program the board will be eligible for $150 per pupil funding for the elementary level and between $45 and $50 at the secondary school level. The plans, which were submitted to the ministry April 14 call for funding of $51,229 at the secondary level and $84,750 at the elementary level. Ina breakdown of the grant for St. Josephs, it was revealed $10,750 will be paid towards new texts, $14,000 for new learning materials, $15,000 towards new library books, $2,000 for transportation services, $4,890 for cultural activities, $3,948 for transportation and $30,000 for the two extra staff members. At PSS $42,000 has been alotted to the extra staff with $1,000 for new programs, tran- through the ice, so he took a wild guess that the incident woud occur on April 24. Randy came within 58 minutes of the splash time. He had the closest guess, and he won the contest. Randy took home a Johnson four-horse power motor from Chalet Sports, five records from CKMP and a case of Coke from the bottling plant in Penetanguishene. He even has a boat for the motor, thanks to his father. Apparently, Randy's dad told him he could have a 14-foot family boat if he won the motor. prizes. Randy won the Spring Splash Contest, sponsored by Chalet Sports, CKMP and Coke, by guessing within 58 minutes as to when the Town directory enclosed Inside today's Friday Times and Citizen readers will find the Penetanguishene Town Directory for 1978. The Directory is published by Markle Community Newspapers, and was written and compiled by Dona Beauvais and Howard Elliott. erway the Historic Naval and Military Establish- ment. 4 Sunday, August 6 will be the culmination of the Summerama festival. A town picnic will be held on that day, featuring athletic events such as a tug-of-war, three-legged races and other humourous activities. The com- petitions will be open to any team of seven individuals. The next organizational meeting for Summerama will be held on May 11. Mrs. Rose hopes to have firm committments regarding sponsorship at that time. Legion holds elections The Penetanguishene Legion has an- nounced they will be holding their annual elections on May 2 at the Legion Hall in Penetanguishene. The purpose of the meeting is to elect the new executives for the 1978-79 year. Spokesmen for the Legion have said that they are hoping for a good turnout at this meeting in order to show support for the new executive. The purpose of the Directory is to serve as a guide to services, facilities and organizations in the town of Penetanguishene. It lists all known service organizations, recreational facilities, and a host of other valuable information. The Directory also contains a map of Penetanguishene complete with a legend placing historical sites, schools, parks and landmarks. The staff of the Citizen has made every attempt to include all groups in the Direc- tory, but in any endeavour such as this one, there is a chance some people may have been unintentionally omitted from the book. If anyone discovers they have been left out of the Directory, they are welcome to phone the Citizen office, and make their organization known to the staff. In that way, the same omission will not occur next year when the Directory is published. . We wish to thank all the people in the Penetanguishene area who co-operated with the compiling of the 1978 Directory, and we sincerely hope it will be of use to residents and visitors to the area. | Sorry | fordelay | Mechanical difficulties at our printing plant caused a major delay in the delivery | of our Wednesday paper. | Ifyour paper was late, please accept our }apologies.

Committee French Association presents play in area The French Canadian Association of Ontario is sponsoring a children's play beginning this Sunday, April 30, in the Penetanguishene area. Le Reve (The Dream) is being put on by an acting troupe known as 'La Vieille Souche'. This play has won two awards in com- petition in Ontario's French schools in the southern region of Ontario. The first prize was for stage setting and the second prize was for best actor, Pierre Mullie Needless to say, Randy was very pleased. This is the second time in a year he has had his name in print. The first time was when he * found a balloon containing a note exclaiming that Gary loves Sheree. The note was from a young man in the United States, and Randy received a good deal of publicity about the incident. "I still don't believe it," Randy said, referring to the Spring Splash contest. He has never entered a contest before, and he en- tered this contest "'for the heck of it."" Randy has plans for his newly-acquired motor, such A lucky guess Ski-Doo would fall through the ice of Penetanguishene Harbour. "I still can't believe it,"' was all Randy had to say about Performances are scheduled for Sunday, April 30 at St. Martyrs' Canadiens at 7:30 p.m.; Tuesday, May 2, in the morning at 10:30 a.m, at Ste.

The three C's, (Chalet Sports CKMP and Coke) plan to run the contest again next year. The battered Ski-Doo that was the focus of all the attention has been fished out of the water, and will now have a one-year holiday until the next time it is called upon to take the icy plunge in Penetanguishene Harbour his big win.

Monster Draw ticket drive on The blitz is on. Organizers of the Arena Fund Monster Draw have vowed to sell another 500 tickets in the week remaining, before the draw May 6. Speaking to reporters Wednesday af- ternoon, Arena Fund chairman Gord Walker said that about 500 of the $50 tickets have been sold already, and that members of local service clubs and businesses are preparing themselves for an all-out ticket-selling blitz. He said he is confident that with growing enthusiasm in the community for the draw and an active push on the part of ticket sellers, the eventual ticket sale total will amount to 1,000. If Mr. Walker's predictions come true, the coffers of the Arena Fund will receive a significant boost. "Every fifty dollars from now on, is matched by Wintario and means that tax- payers will have to pay $100 less for our new arena," Mr. Walker said.
