One gets the feeling this entire farse might have been resolvéd at an earlier date had been an_ earlier involvement in its resolution by the Ministry of the Environment. What has yet to be published is what it would have cost to truck garbage from this end of the county to Wasaga Beach as it had been proposed by the 'Midland Penetanguishene it's truly PENETANGUISHENE has a new centennial com- missioner. The new French high school in the town now under construction is taking shape these days and the French Centre's campaign for funds is going great guns. It would appear things couldn't be brighter and that's the way it should be. Our town deserves a new Tiny Landfill Site Committee. It has been said: some men «make difficulties while some difficulties make men. If this is so, and we believe it is, Deputy-reeve John Lackie of Tiny Township (chairman of the MPT) wins full marks for the very important role he played in helping to resolve what was quickly becoming nothing short of a tragic comic opera. Let's hope this kind of fiasco never occurs in North Simcoe again. _afriendly town spirit of harmony and unanimity. We see it being generated each and every day. Just think by the time Penetanguishene's centennial rolls around next year you won't be able to hold its friendly people back from rejoicing in the fact that they | do indeed live in a very friendly community. Tiffin was a fine town policeman THE TOWN'S police force is currently advertising for a new constable. The ad follows on the heels of Sgt. Tom Tiffin's resignation earlier this month which was accepted with regret by Penetanguishene's public safety committee. Tiffin will be leaving the force later this week. During his tenure, Tiffin was a credit to his uniform. We have often said a policeman's lot is not always a happy one. It takes highly trained and responsible individuals to be policemen and Sgt. Tom Tiffin was one of them. Best wishes are extended to Tom Tiffin as he soon begins a new vocation. department and Citizen ~The Penetanguishene Second Class Mail Registration Number 2327 -- Published every Wednesday by Douglas Parker Publishing Ltd -- 309 King Street, Midland, Ontario.526-2283. _Publisher: Douglas Parker Penetanguishene Editor: One Year Subscriptions (carrier delivered) $15.60 One Year Subscriptions (by mail) $16.60 U.S.A. and Foreign $30.00 per year Member, Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association and Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations Douglas Reed Page 4, Wednesday, October 28, 1981 sa Our readers say... 'Disease' sweeping nation Dear Editor: A new disease has been found to be affecting a large number of Canadian citizens. At first unknown to a large number of those now suffering from the disease it has its' roots in HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, HIGH INFLATION and HIGH INTEREST RATES. The symptoms of this disease are unem- ployment, highly inflated prices on consumer goods, high interest rates, higher mortgage in- terest rates and very likely joss of home or auto, etc. Thanks from Big Brothers Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation, on behalf of our Organization, to everyone who helped make this years "Big Brother Week"' a tremendous success. In particular, those deserving of special praise, are Mr. Jim Blackwell, the owner of the local McDonald's, who allowed us to use his store for recruitment purposes; the Historic Naval and Military Establishments who sponsored a very enjoyable "Big Brother for a Day" event on Oct. 3; and the local media, who gave the entire week excellent coverage. On a personal note, I would like to thank my own Board of Directors, who all became involved in this very special event. Once again, thank you Midland-Penetang for your continued support of our cause and your concern for the welfare of the boys we serve from father absent homes. Sincerely --Dan Downey Lawn bowlers say thanks Dear Editor: On behalf of the executive and members of the - Midland Lawn Bowling I am writing to express our thanks. We were very pleased with the publicity we received during our 1981 season. : Wishing you continued success and looking forward to future cooperation. Yours truly --Jeanne Harvey Secretary Midland Lawn Be Bowling Club When first discovered over a year ago the population of Canada were led to believe that this disease was emanating from our neighbour to the south but recently it has been discovered to have its' origins in Ottawa or to be more precise from the immediate area of the parliament buildings. This disease which will affect more than 235,000 Canadians in the next two years has been designated the "TRUMacCOS DISEASE" in honour of those who feel that this disease should be allowed to run its' natural course and affect as much of the population of Canada as possible. Since the disease was first liberated from Ottawa many people have said that there was either a conservative or at least a new democratic way of eliminating this disease but a sure cure cannot be entertained until the mid-eighties. By this time the disease will have spread and affected in some way or another 78 per cent of Canadians. It should be noted that the longer the "TRUMacCOS DISEASE"' is allowed to run rampant the harder it will be to bring it under control when the cure is put' in place. In the meantime I would urge all Canadians to fight this disease by writing to the Prime Minister of Canada, The Minister of Finance and the Minister of Housing and object to the way they are handling this newly discovered disease. I am sure they would only be too glad to hear from someone who may have some concrete ideas on how to combat the '""'TRUMacCOS DISEASE"' now since it is obvious from their recent actions that they do not believe it is as prevalent as in- dicated from their own statistics. Remember, today your neighbour or freind may be suffering the effects of '"TRUMacCOS DISEASE"' tomorrow it may be you and your immediate family. Fight '"'TRUMacCOS DISEASE" today. --Gord Shunk, Port MeNicoll. What's Your Opinion? The Midland Times, The Penetanguishene Citizen and Elmvale Lance welcome Letters to the Editor.
