High stepping for Old Home Week Four of Penetanguishene's most nimble dancers demon- strate a move taught to them by Albert Blondin during the free Wednesday night dance classes at St. Croix School. The move looks easy enough but when combined with numerous other steps from traditional French dances you'll understand why the practice is necessary. Albert teaches many different Discovering a trap Basil Secord inspects one of the five traps he discovered, Sunday, in the Nature Trail region along the Champlain Road. A trapper who was unaware of the town's prohibition against trapping in the Nature Trail area agreed, when told i, Ste I Mii Philip Joseph Tobey, 56, of Honey Harbour died last Wednesday evening when his snowmobile crashed through thin ice off Robin's Point east of Victoria Harbour. Wilfred Michaud, a resident of the Robin's Point area, told this newspaper he had been disturbed on Wednesday night a knock on his door by a man who wanted help to free his machine from a crack in the ice near the shore. Michaud and some of his neighbours helped this man free his machine from the ice and while doing so heard cries for help in the distance. "'We heard someone crying for help," he said. 'the kept it up for about five minutes. Oh, was it ever cold here last night. I knew he wouldn't last long out there."' Ontario Provincial Police divers arrived to help search for the missing man and on Thursday morning located a hole in the ice. Shortly after noon they entered the water and recovered the man's body, in shallow water. On Thursday morning one of the OPP of- ficers who had been looking for the hole in the ice said that the ice was dangerous and was cracking under them as they walked. The OPP warn all snowmobilers that the ice is dangerous and they should stay off it com- pletely. The weekend fatality was the second registered this season in the area.

French theatre groups will be coming to Old Home Week Penetanguishene's Old Home Week ( June 28 to July 5) received a big boost last week with the announcement that an estimated 165 Franco-Ontarian performers, representing the major French theatre groups in Ontario, have agreed to hold their second annual meeting in Penetanguishene during Old Home Week. The annual meeting is more along the lines of a theatre festival. Rolland Desroches, the director of le Centre d'Activités Francaises said that the different theatre groups are expected to put on three or four plays throughout their stay from June 28th to July 4th. Some of the shows will be bilingual, he said. Officials at the French Centre will be in charge of finding suitable accommodations for the performers. Desroches said that the school boards will be approached to see if their facilities can be used. Last year the different Franco-Ontarian theatre groups held their first annual meeting at Elliot Lake and according to Desroches "it was a overwhelming success." Winterama report ELLE \ Fist BLOcie THE INCOME TAX PEOPLE 2nd & Bay St. Midland Snowmobile crashes through ice, mandies the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications, fatalities resulting from collisions involving snowmobiles were down 52 per cent over the first three months of the 1974-75 season, compared to the same period in 1973-74. During the period from October 20 to February 8, injuries resulting from snowmobile collisions were down 39 per cent, while property damage collisions were down 31 per cent. "We hope that these sizeable reductions indicate snowmobilers are exercising a greater degree of responsibioity when en- joying winter recreation," stated Minister John Rhodes. Although some people think that the snowmobile accidents have been reduced because of the mild winter, Rhodes said he was convinced that "the new regulations which came into effect in Decmeber have contributed to the decrease."' Under the new regulations, snowmobiles are prohibited frem driving on the shoulder of a King's highway. Helmets must now be worn by all operators and passengers when operating on the roadway or a public trail. The new legislation contains authority for additional control and regulations relating to vehicle identification, driver licensing and age limits which will come into effect next season.

Photo by Jim Park Shakespeare's folio To be or not to.. "To be or not to be. That is the question." These and all the other words Shakespeare ever penned are neatly packaged in a copy of "The First Folio of Shakespeare'? which has recently been added to the collection of books and odds and ends at Pene- tanguishene's Odd Copy Book Store. The folio has an interesting history. Original editions of "The First Folio of Shakespeare" presently sell at over $90,000. An estimated 231 of the original folios were printed but no two copies are alike. The reason for the dif: ferent copies was due to the printing methods. The original folios were printed two pages at a time on a small slow speed press over a two year period. As the printing went along the copies were proofread with the result that corrections were made as _ printing proceeded. Instead of starting all over again when mistakes were found, the printers simply sprinkled the uncorrected sheets throughout the 231 folios. The result is that no original folio shows the finally corrected state of every page. No two folios are identical. The copy of "The First Folio of Shakespeare"' in the Odd Copy Bookstore was published by W.W. Norton and Company Inc. It is produced in the finally corrected state. During this week the folio will be shown in the stores display window.
