PLEASE CALL US Story or picture idea: 549-2012 8 am. to 5 p.m. "Information is the hallmark of democracy" Some observations HATS OFF to members of Penetanguishene Legion who last week turned over the last of the money they either collected or raised to Midland Salvation Army for the Ar- my's Red Shield Campaign. In all, the men and women of the Legion collected a total of $3,000. Members of Branch 68 can be proud of their efforts...it was truly a fine gesture. KK KK AS A RESULT of a decision made by Penetanguishene town council, Monday night, the municipal police force will soon be back to full strength. A new chief of police and a new constable were hired by the town. The force operated short- handed for some weeks but with the new additions this will all change. We welcome the new policemen to Penetanguishene and hope they have a long and happy association with the town. *KKKKK IT IS HOPED when councils from Penetanguishene and Tiny Township meet in Perkinsfield tonight, elected officials from both municipalities will be able to take the first steps in resolving differences that have occurred since the province put a development freeze on a section of Highway 27 west of Midland in Tiny Township. We would hope tonight's meeting will be the first of many Penetanguishene and Tiny hold so that eventually things can return to normal. Summer Festival will pack 'em in THE HIGH POINT of this summer's Penetanguishene Summer Festival, now being organized, will be an auction to be held at the waterfront park. One can't help get excited about the many events and attractions already planned for Summer Festival. There's still time for in- dividuals and organizations to signify their interest in becoming part of Summer Festival '81 in Penetang- uishene. For more information please get in touch with the Penetanguishene Chamber of Commerce. : From all reports this summer's big "do" in Penetanguishene will attract thousands of visitors to the town from far and near. Ball hockey was very exciting EARLIER THIS month Penetanguishene Arena was the scene of a very successful ball hockey tourney. The weekend event at- tracted eight teams, three from this area the remainder from Toronto and Orillia. Those who organized the event are to be saluted for a well organized tournament. We regret not more ball hockey fans turned out to watch the action but those who did saw ball hockey played at its very best.
