It should come as no sur- prise too that Tiny and Tay plan to form a joint committee to study matters of mutual concerns. And it should come as no surprise that the Town of Midland isn't in any rush to endorse Tiny's Amendment No. 23 as it pertains to zoning TN PER ESE in Penetanguishene's 100th birthday, next year, is mounting. Last week 50 people turned up to hear details of plans for the town's upcoming centennial celebrations. Events will be mixed and varied and in some cases will also tie in with Burkevale School's centennial. These are indeed exciting times in Penetanguishene.

To the anonymous donor, may we Say, well done. a laughing matter A WARNING has. been issued by Police Chief Dennis Player of Penetanguishene Police to motorists who use Fuller Avenue between Penetanguishene and Midland. In recent weeks someone has been stringing fishing line and toilet paper across Fuller near Broad Street. This prank usually occurs at night. It can be dangerous to unsuspecting motorists who spot these "stringers" at the last moment. By taking evasive action at the last second motorists put themselves in a position where they might have to slam on their brakes or turn sharply to the left or right in to ditches that line both sides of the road. The police chief says those responsible for this kind of prank can face criminal charges. If you know who are behind these pranks we hope you'll share that information with the police chief before someone gets hurt or killed.
