Information-honestly, openly and freely shared- is the hallmark of democracy Encourage him! EAU DE Penetang? Don't laugh. That could be the name of the newest entry in the bottled water market if Dr. P.A. Charlebois has his way. Dr. Charlebois is asking Penetanguishene's Planning Advisory Committee if it will allow him to bottle Penetang tap water ata building on Robert Street West. He wants to try selling it on Toronto store shelves on an experimental basis to see if there is a market for bottled water from Penetanguishene. Penetanguishene, as the billboard at the entrance to town notes, boasts Canada's purest drinking water. Dr. Charlebois should be encouraged. OK Blue Jays! BLUE JAY fever is sweeping the land as the young ball club continues its winning ways as the regular baseball season enters its final weeks. With their three-win one-loss record against the big, bad Yankees this past weekend in New York, the Jays widened the lead they hold over the Yankees in the American League East. Would our Blue Jays choke in their crucial four-game series away from home against the Yankees? Would they be intimidated by the notorious Yankee fans? No way They've tested their mettle against the intimidating New Yorkers and need not look back. It can be pretty cold in Toronto in late October, as some have noted, and, as others have noted, it can also be pretty hot. Happy occasions HIS EMINENCE G. Emmett Cardinal Carter concelebrated mass last Sunday afternoon at the outdoor Papal altar, at Martyrs' Shrine, to help mark the first anniversary of Pope John Paul's historic (Sept. 15, 1984) visit to the very heart of Huronia. The outdoor altar, designed last year especially for the Holy Father's visit, is one of the few permanent structures to remain, in Canada, as a reminder of the Bishop of Rome's pilgrimage to this country. Not to be forgotten, the sick and disabled were able to celebrate this weekend's important anniversary by taking part in a mass and picnic the day prior to the Cardinal's Sunday afternoon sojourn to the Shrine. Two happy occasions marking an important date in North Simcoe's long and colourful history. It is man's hope THIS IS Legion Week across Canada. It's a timeto, as Legions would say, "...be proud of our past and have faith in the future." From coast to coast Royal Canadian Legions will host a variety of special events to celebrate Legion Week while at the same time making plans to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of the Royal Canadian Legion in Canada in 1986. . To the legions of men and women who fought in two world wars each of which was to be the war to end all wars, to those who fought in Korea and elsewhere for their country, to the tens of millions who lie moldering in earth's battlefield and the tens of millions of others who are still suffering the tortures of the damned, our plea is a simple one that war which is the wicked corrupter and destroyer of men and nations never again rain its blitzkrieg of hideous destruction down on our globe. A job well done HATS OFF to President Everett Marshall and members of Tiny and Tay Agricultural Society for hosting yet another successful annual Midland and District Fall Fair. The one staged in Midland last week continues to be one of the longest-running annual fall fairs of its kind not only in Ontario but in Canada. To all those who worked behind the scenes, let us simply say, thanks for a job well done. Hie she WHO Let HIM (A. IN HERE?! ai Ee mmies| {OS \ rN 'CVE THE Read this article Dear Editor: If you can read this article you don't need our services but we need you. We are the Midland Area Reading Council, a non-profit volunteer organization that teaches adults to read and write. This past Sunday was World Literacy Day. It passed quietly didn't it? It's important maybe to Third World nations, one might think. Wrong, with one in five Canadians functionally illiterate, it is important to us too. We take reading for granted. To the person who can't read a map, a newspaper ad, a prescription on a bottle, or read a bed time story to their child, reading is something envied. Some of our students have had strokes and need to be retaught. Some speak and read in a foreign language and need to learn English. Some had unrecognized learning disabilities and never learned. Some learned how to read up to Grade 9 but haven't bothered for years and reading is not like riding a bike is which once you know how you never forget. With reading you forget. Some of our students need to re-learn their reading skills. To teach these people we need volunteers. Our volunteers take a four evening training course. Then we match them up with a student. The student comes to the volunteer at times convenient for both. The tutor pays for her training course and then the Reading Council supplies all her books. The student pays for his workbooks. If you think you might like to give someone this most important of life skills, call us at 549-3372. If you know someone who needs us have them call. Our service is confidential. -Midland Area Reading Council Thanks for Paper's S help Thank you very much for your support of our program and events during the 1985 operating season.
