At the regular village council meeting a week ago Wednesday night, Cameron asked members of the audience to help out with the book. "The whole purpose of the historical committee is to write a book on Port McNicoll,"" he said. "We have got to get this done -- and quickly." One village resident has donated $1,000 to get the project off the ground, the deputy-reeve said. He added that anyone with old photos will have a chance to have them duplicated on the spot when the village gets its hands on a special piece of photographic equipment. "You can take the photo right there and take it back right away. It doesn't go out of your hands, so to speak." Winterama shares The 1988 Penetanguishene Winterama was successful enough that the committee was able to donate money to several groups. The Winterama commit- tee gave $200 to the Royal Canadian Legion Pipes and Drums, $100 to St. John Ambulance, and $100 to the Penetanguishene Firefighters Association. The committee also gave an answering service machine and 600 feet of fence to the Penetanguishene Chamber of Commerce. Red Shield Campaign reported past half way The Salvation Army has collected $18,000 toward a goal of $26,000. The Salvation Army was established in Midland more than 100 years ago. People from all walks of life and members of a variety of churches join Salvationists in mounting of the annual Red Shield Appeal, longtime Red Shield campaign head Doug Reed said. '""They're just so generous." The blitz of Midland hap- pened a couple of weeks later than normal this year, so as to avoid a conflict with other fundraising events. The day after the evening blitz canvass of Midland, Reed reported that more than $9,000 had been col- lected. Midland accounted for $4,200, Penetanguishene for $3,600, and Port McNicoll for nearly $1,000. On that basis, the 1988 campaign was off to a good start, Reed said. The campaign team leaders still would welcome volunteer canvassers. The Salvation Army's Christmas Cheer campaign is perhaps its single best known effort.

Therriens Furniture Stoneleigh Motors Mountainview Mall Councillors agreed that the last - and possibly most important -- office to be a problem, should be altered. As it stands, there is a heavy door and two steps to cross before reaching the main desk. "It likely wouldn't take that much'"' to reconstruct the main entrace, Deputy- Reeve Ross Cameron said. "Maybe we should take a look at it." Reeve John Moreau noted that other municipal buildings, such as the com- munity centre and fire hall, are easily accessible. As well, the main council chamber has a ramp leading into it and no steps to cross.
