After Tubby's Controls wanted on chip wagons A chip wagon parked by the Midland Curling Club bothers Councillor Buzz Brown. The-owher of the Tubby Mobile Chip Wagon, Peter Desmasdon, was surprised to hear that his business was discussed at a plann- ing and development com- mitteee meeting. All of his customers are very nice, and friendly, people, he said. Desmasdon is licenced to operate a chip wagon. He parks his chip wagon in the club's parking lot and runs an extension cord into the building. He pays rent to the Curling Club. Last year Desmasdon parked his chip wagon on the lookout on Bayshore Drive. Since he moved to King Street, the owner of the park store, and one downtown __ restaurant owner, have complained to the town hall. Desmasdon has owned the chip wagon for 18 months. Through the past 25 years he has been in the marina, hardware, and rent-all businesses, he said. At present a chip wagon can be parked anywhere in town, Counc.' Brown said, in front. of someone's house, or even by a school, where it would be a hazard. Brown thinks _ that regulations should cover location, safety, and Rosewood Rosewood for the third year has been assisted financially by the Georgian Bay Best Ball committee. Ontario's best amateur golfers are invited to the annual competition at the Midland Golf and Country Club. Last Wednesday Best Ball chairperson Bill Gray presented Rosewood's manager Ila Kellermann and Rosewood's_ book- keeper Diane Buxton with a $200 cheque. Rotarians realize raffle profit The Midland Rotary Club is closing on the financial breakeven point of its ambitious cottage raf- fle. Close to 2,700 tickets have been sold, Club Presi- dent Des Carpenter said before the club's weekly meeting. The club wants to sell 6,000 tickets before Ju- ly 1. Last Wednesday a workman at the cottage said the insulation would be put in place as soon as the building inspector had visited. Tickets will continue to be sold until Canada Day. The winning ticket will be drawn during the Club's annual Canada Day barbecue. The cottage is in Tiny Township, almost at the end of Champlain Road, one cottage in the solid line of cottages between the shoreline and the road in the stretch called. Kettle's Beach. The 'giant' of Giant's Tomb Island clear- ly can be seen through the three-bedroom cottage's windows. Huronia District Hospital will be the main beneficiary of the cottage raffle. Half of whatever profit is realized will be donated to HDH. HDH would recéive $150,000 if all 6,000 tickets are sold. The rest of the profit will be donated to other charitable causes. The sales pitch is aimed at Southern Ontario's Golden Horseshoe. The Rotarians are making the purchase of tickets as con- venient as possible. People telephone a toll free number at any hour, any day of the week, and buy a ticket using a VISA or Mastercard credit card. The cottage and lot are valued at more than $150,000. The 1,040 square foot cottage sits.on a lot 60 feet wide and 205 feet deep. cleanliness of chip wagons. The committee recogniz- ed that Desmasdon keeps the area around his chip wagon free of 'fitter. Another chip' wagon operator might not be as clean, Counc. Brown said. Councillors Gail Barrie and Gale Niblock agreed with Brown that some thought should be given to regulating chip wagons. assisted The shelter for women and their children is waiting for approval of its budget. Its financial year concluded at the end of April. The coming months are the shelter's "busy season,"' Kellermann said. Women who stay in Rosewood come _ to Midland from as far as Orillia, which does not have a women's shelter. Soon Rosewood's dining mY Troubles for Tubby Tubby's Chips has been in business for the last 18 months but some councillors in Midland think all chip wagons should be regulated to insure cleanliness. The room, furnished and redecorated with the help of the community, chiefly the Midland Civitan Club, will be opened formally.
