PLEASE CALLUS Story or picture idea: 549-2012 8a.m.to5p.m. "Information is the hallmark of democracy" The Big Blue Machine was at its best again "TINY WHIPPED as Tories vote along Party lines," announced a headline in our paper last Friday. Bill 62, a contentious amendment of the Municipal Boundary Negotiations Act, was one of the last Bills passed by the Ontario Legislature before it recessed for the summer last Wednesday night. Midland, Tiny, Vespra and Barrie made varied submissions concerning the Bill the night before in front of a Standing Justice Committee comprised of six Tories, three Grits and two NDPs. When the smoke had cleared the committee recommended by a vote of 6-5 that Bill 62 be passed without amendment. Those who are opposed to Midland annexing a 2,600-acre chunk of land from Tiny (and there are many) may want to ask Simcoe East MPP Al McLean and Simcoe Centre MPP George Taylor what their positions are on this controversial issue. We know what Midland's and Tiny's positions are . . . poles apart! Lasting tribute SANDERSON MONUMENT Company, which has its headquarters in Orillia and branch offices in Midland and Huntsville played a very major role in designing, lettering, engraving and setting the Terrance Stanley Fox Monument which was unveiled last month at Thunder Bay. A total of 45 tons of granite and bronze were used for this lasting memorial to a 22-year-old who died last year of cancer during his coast-to-coast Marathon of Hope. The people connected with Sanderson Monument Company can be very proud of their work. We Canadians too can be equally proud of this magnificent tribute to Terry Fox. And although someday, perhaps, the engravings may wear down on the huge monument, the feelings about Terry Fox will always remain ever intact. Happy birthday Burkevale School IF FOR SOME reason you missed Burkevale Protestant ~ Separate School's gala home-coming earlier this month, shame on you. The occasion helped to celebrate the school's 100th birthday. Guest speaker for the occasion was Don Kenwell, a former pupil, teacher and principal of the school. However the big event was just to be there . . . to visit with old school chums from another era. The afternoon was termed a giant success by those who hosted the event and by those who attended this special 100th birthday party at Burkevale School. The motto of the school is worth printing here: 'Learn to live and live to learn."' Those who attended the gala centennial celebrations at the school appeared to have done both. zs : wn ~ oh | . mets y, DWOOy PAO yet un NY Za J oi DP) «hs BN UE a U $$$ The Penetanquishene Citizen Second Class Mall Registration Number 2327 Published every Wednesday by Douglas Parker Publishing Ltd. 309 King Street, Midland, Ontarlo / 526-2283 Publisher: Douglas Parker.

Fund, Ontario Division, has reached its $7.7 million annual campaign objective. The 1982 campaign which was conducted during February in Ontario exceeded its goal by $39,022. Door-io-door canvassing, special events, cor- poraie donations and the sale of 'Roses for Research', all contribuied io the final total of $7,739,022.88. Bequesis and other sources of income combined with campaign receipts will allow the Ontario Heart Foundation to allocate $9,250,000 to heart disease and stroke research in Ontario, for the 1982-83 granting period. In presenting his final report, Alex D. Broom- field, the 1982 Canadian Heart Fund Chairman said, '"The residents in the Province of Ontario can be proud of their substantial contributions to the crusade against heart disease and stroke. Evidence to date, thal research has paid off, is in the fact that the overall death rate from heart and blood vessel] diseases, for people under 65 years of age, is down 27 per ceni since 1953. Marked reductions have been achieved in deaths due to stroke. In heart attack, the single leading cause of death in Canada, the decline has only been 11 per cent. He continued by saying thai the residents of Ontario have endorsed the work of the Ontario Heart Foundation, through their continuous suppor! over the years and thai vital medical research in the area of heart disease and stroke will continue to receive the financial suppor! of the Foundation. In conclusion and on behalf of the Canadian Heart Fund, Ontario Division, Mr. Broomfield expressed "'heartfeli" thanks to the thousands of volunteer workers and canvassers in the Province, for their tremendous support of the 1982 Campaign. --KEster M.
