Expensive music for Midlander The playing of music, if the volume is loud enough to cause a complaint to Midland town police, can be an offence. A Bay Street resident, Kenneth Forget, 22, was fined $500 in court this week, $250 on each of two counts laid under the town's anti-noise bylaw. He was charged on two successive nights two weeks ago. Local expert addressed Americans William Pinkney, owner of Pinkney's of Peel Antiques Ltd. of Midland, was the featured speaker at the November meeting of the Glass Collectors Club of Toledo, Ohio.

Shoppe and Midland Fish and Chips, The Midland Times will remain open Saturdays, commencing tomorrow from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. False alarm sounds A fire alarm at 3 p.m., Wednesday in Penetanguishene turned out to be a false alarm. When several firefighters arrived at the fire hall in response to the alarm they were told work being done by Bell Canada and Huronia Alarm Systems was being conducted and the alarm was set off by mistake. The big move is on Today is moving day for Penetanguishene Police Department!

This fall nine clubs from Allenwood, Anten Mills, Crossland, Elmvale, Hillsdale, New Flos, Phelpston, Saurin and Wyevale were involved in the 4-H Homemaking -- project. Throughout their six meetings, members looked at energy con- servation, new recipes and ideas for en- tertaining their friends. The 18 volunteer leaders from the clubs were recognized and presented with a badge in appreciation of the time and talent which they dedicate to the young people of the local communities. The whole 4-H program hinges on these volunteers. Each club presented a skit or an exhibit on various facets of their club work. As well as being entertaining and educational for the evening's audience of 170, it gave the mem- bers an opportunity to gain more self con- fidence and experience at public speaking. Chairman for these presentations was Marcia Loftus from the New Flos Club. Com- ments on the presen- tations were given by the visiting Home Economist, Mrs. Joan Rix, Stroud. Several awards were presented in recognition of excellent work. For the members, these marked exciting milestones in their 4-H involvement. Joanne Baks of Crossland was presented with an Advanced Honour Certificate and pastry server to indicate the successful completion of her 18th unit. 4-Hers night -- by Louise Wanless Mr. and Mrs. Larry Cameron spent the Nov. 22 weekend in Brampton at the home of their nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Cameron.
