"At the present time we expect to be able to provide Pay TV and other services to the Midland and Penetanguishene residents by the end of 1984 or early 1985. "Pay TV is generally being provided by cable companies in major cities across Canada. "Reaction to Pay TV promotion has resulted in a higher sales volume than originally anticipated.

Not all cable systems will be able to provide the Par TV service on Feb. 1, 1983 (even (hough Channel capacity exists) because of Pay TV receiving equipment shortages. - Demand is greater than the supply. "The popularity of Pay TV in larger cities could result in an earlier introduction of Pay TV to this area. We're glad you asked!

GB Gourmets newest book offers summer recipes by MURRAY MOORE All those cooks who don't know what to serve in the months of the year not covered by the locally produced, bestselling cookbook, Georgian Bav Gourmet Winter Entertaining, can take heart. Georgian Bay Gourmet Summer Entertaining will be available late next month. The new cookbook, authored by Helen DeCarli, Anne Connell, Mary Hunt, and Jean Leavens, will have a first printing of 15,000 copies, 5,000 of which have been pre-sold. The new cookbook is in the same spiral coil- bound format as the Gourmets' first cookbook. Samples of recipes from the new cookbook, and copies of the new cook- book, will be available on March 5 at the cookbook's grand launching, to be held in the Budd Watson Gallery. Copies of the cookbook will be generally available at the end of February. Georgian Bay Gourmet Winter Entertaining sold more than 20,000 copies, co-author Anne Connell says. The gourmet authors are their own publishers. Five thousand copies of the new cookbook will be distributed by General Publishing. Each of the four authors of the new cookbook will travel across Canada in the spring on publicity tours. Connell expects to go to Thunder Bay on a publicity tour with well-known Canadian fiction writer W. O. Mit- chell. Connell says that the two books together cover the four seasons of the year. However the group "isn't finished yet," she says. They have a few ideas for more cookbooks which they are developing.
