Town police False pretences charged Penetanguishene police charged a Midland youth with obtaining goods under false pretences, following an incident at a town store April 8. A spokesman said a cheque was cashed at the store on that date, and no bank account existed to cover it. Charged by constable Graham Whiteside is Wayne Contois, 17, of Princess Street in Midland. s Stolen car found Quick work by constable Bernard Maracle of the Penetanguishene police early Sunday morning resulted in a stolen car being returned to its owner and two Penetanguishene youths charged with joyriding. The car, valued at $2,000 was reported stolen at 12:45 a.m. Sunday, by its owner Marguerite Ruth, of Champlain Road. It had been parked on Simcoe Street, as was found on Church Street about an hour later by Maracle. No damage was apparent to the car, and Michel Bechard, 21, of Burke Street, and Gary Belcourt, 20, of Water Street were charged. Front end loader burns At 11:40 a.m. Saturday, the Penetanguishene fire and police departments answered a call to Ken's Esso on Main Street to extinguish a front end loader which had caught fire. No estimate of damage is available. About 12 hours later they were again called out to a different location, only to discover it was a false alarm. Sailboat damaged Overnight Friday, someone released a rope on the main mast of a sailboat at the town docks, allowing the boom to fall. Damage to the boat, owned by Robert McKillip of Lucy Street, is estimated at $60. The incident is still under in- vestigation. Smelt should start their run this week The smelt should begin their run for 1975 this weekend or early next week unless the weather takes a drastic turn for the worse. According to a spokesman for the fish and wildlife branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources. in Midhurst, a few smelt are showing up in the Moom River near Parry Sound and in Lake Simcoe, but as far as he is concerned the run is not on yet. He said that for the past few years the fish have not been abundant in Georgian Bay, and the only place in this area with a sizeable run is around Honey Harbour. They may have petered out in Georgian Bay, but he will almost guarantee fish to ?@qmone in Lake Simcoe. Ajfartrently the lake has seen a good run for four years, and officials are expecting "an even better one this year." Though the run may ac- tually last a couple of weeks, the smelt are only heavy for five or six days. The only season for smelt is when they're running and there is no limit to the catch. The spokesman said smelt fishers could take as many as they want, 'and I hope they take a lot." A dip net requires no licence, while a seine net requiring several handlers needs a licence at a cost of one dollar, available at the offices in Midhurst. He suggests fishers try any place with a bay and a small stream feeding it. A few of the known places close to the Midland-Penetanguishene area are: the 8tream bet- ween McRae Lake and Georgian Bay, the Atherly narrows, the foot of Gill or High streets in Orillia, Bluss Creek off Highway 11B, Carthew Bay, the Hawkstone Public Wharf, Minet Point off Highway 11, or Pain- swick. The ministry will be checking the smelt runs, but according to the spokesman the fish were so thick in some of the small' streams last year that the water was bubbling.

Presiding Judge L.T. Montgomery, noting a previous conviction and probationary sentence for car theft, said Bylow had been "given an opportunity to rehabilitate yourself, and - as the court has been fair with you once (it must) deal a little more severely with you now." In another case Thursday, one Christian Island youth was jailed and a second given a suspended sentence and 12 months probation after pleading guilty to stealing a car owned by one of the Indian band members.

It has become known as Student Government Day, and breaks the usual tedium of class routine. Students will take over the roles of the principal, vice-principal, the three guidance teachers, the three librarians, the office staff, four janitors, and the teachers. Each of the students will handle the job seriously and to the best of his ability. In effect, the shoe is on the other foot. The student will get the feel of an office or sitting in front of a class. If the student has been a trouble-maker all year, he might all of a sudden find his lesson being disrupted by a teacher giving the teacher- for-a-day a taste of his own medicine. According to student council president Tim Robitaille, the program also has value helping students determine their future oc- cupation. Often the real teacher gives a test the next school day just to see how much of the lesson sunk in. Robitaille claims the day remains in control, overseen by the principal and vice- principal. It is all done on a volunteer basis. Asked whether he will adopt a role, Robitaille was uncertain. He said he might, and continued, '"'the staff Doug Leroux Armand Hamelin Alcime Hamelin HAMELIN & LEROUX BUILDERS P.0. Box 209 Penetanguishene, Ont.
