THOMAS Of The Examiner total of 1500 hunters have been selected so far for the first managed deer hunt in Sim coe County following lottery by the Ministry of Natural Resources Thursday Pat Hogan enforcement coordinator for the ministrys Huronia district said Friday this number represents those who were suc cessful in being allotted to their first choice of the seven units into which the county has been divided for the hunt Hogan said those who were not chosen dur ing the draw will still have chance to hunt providing the unit listed as their second choice is one which still has available space He said of the remaining hunters who have applied about 200 will be successfully placed in their second choice unit but there will still be 300 or 400who will not be picked at all Because of the high number the ministry probably will not have to hold second lot tery as had been anticipated he said and it will simply be matter of going through the applications again and feed the successful se cond choice hunters into the vacant units All hunters have not made second choices in vacant unit and we know we are going to have units which wont be full Hogan said Pope returns to big

of small selfcontained schools within existing schools at provincial expense DECLINING ENROLMENT At press conference Dr Stephenson said the Penetanguishene decision was not based solely on economic arguments But she also said declining enrolment in the area ex pected to be as much as 300 of the schools 900 high school population by 1983 would result in underutilization of the existing building and make it impossible for the government to justify building second school Further she said the ministry did not take into consideration the number of students that would attend French school nor the

Walk which climbers pay $3 for an opportunity to climb the 1760 steps of the tower is pro motion organized by the Toronto Region United Way to raise money for the region Lawford proposed walking the steps 17 times and having people sponsor him for each walk The money would then be given to the Barrie and District United Way Lloyd Armstrong director of the Barrie and District United Way said Toronto United Way officials mightnt have ap proved of Lawford using their promotion to raise money for the Barrie and District United Way Armstrong said the issue will tie dor mant and he will not become involved in it until Lawford brings documented proof that his proposed climb to raise money for the Barrie and District United Way is ap proved by CN Tower Officials Disappointed that what could have been an excellent money raising project may never become reality Armstrong said It sure sounded good 59 as principal and classrooms but share other facilities with the school as whole But Dr Stephenson said it will provide the distinctly French milieu desired by the community and slow the rate of assimilation similar suggestion by the school board was dismissed as inadequate by the French who say that only separate and distinct school in which the threat of assimilation does not exist would be satisfactory CONTINUE STRUGGLE Were being faced by an incompetent minister Desrochers
