Vol. 4, No. 37, Folio 74 Friday, September 12, 1980 Penetanguishene, Ontario Giving the Gift of Life Midland's Ernest Moreau gave the Gift of* Life for the 27th time when he donated blood at Wednesday's Blood Donors' Clinic staged at Penetanguishene Secondary School. Sent at right is clinic assistant Mary Wright. Only 189 pints of blood was collected this week at the clinic which' disappointed organizers who had hoped 350 would be collected at the area clinic spear- headed by the students council at PSS and the Huronia Branch of the Red Cross. St. Joseph | 189 pints of blood collected at clinic | parents feel arrangement unfair 7 Simcoe County and separate school board | representatives were scheduled to meet last night to consider a brief from parents con- d cerned about the arrangement by which the two boards share Penetanguishene's Ste. Croix School. Vola Carriere, speaking for a committee jepresenting, she said, the majority of parents of children attending St. Joseph School, said yesterday the parents feel the separate school students have been space out of proportion to their number. The lower grades of St. Joseph School have | been across the street from St. Joseph School in Ste. Croix School. This fall the Roman Catholic Separate School Board moved in, to | share theschool. Carriere said her group doesn't mind | sharing the school, but that if sharing is to be | done, it should be done fairly. There are 174 St. Joseph students in eight classrooms, and 50 or !ess St. Louis students in five classrooms, she said. Carriere and other parents were going to attend Wednesday night's Simcoe County Board of Education meeting and explain their position. Because of a call before the meeting Wednesday informing the group of last night's meeting, the delegation cancelled. Carriere stated her group felt the boards should be given a couple of weeks to assess the situation. Her group will wait and see what action will be taken in response to its conterns, she said. Although disap- pointed by the results, officials from the Huronia Branch of the Red Cross say they'll host another blood donors' clinic in the town at a later date. A total of 189 pints of blood was collected Wednesday at Penetanguishene Secondary School where the Red Cross and members of the high school's students' council teamed up to host the area event. Students are credited with helping out with registrations and providing refreshment. An official from the local branch of the Red Cross, Sandy Boucher, noted that during the past 10 days in Toronto, similar clinics had fallen off as well. In one instance. only four donors showed up. Organizers were pleased with the number of new faces who appeared for the first time at the Penetanguishene clinic. "Some people felt if they didn't give in Penetanguishene they could within a few weeks in Midland, however since these are area clinics the next one won't be held in North Simcoe until Decem- ber," she observed yesterday. That clinic is slated for Midland Legion, Dec. 10. Meanwhile to those who gave 'The Gift of Life'? and those who organized the event are being praised for their efforts even though their goal wasn't reached this time. Kings ready for another year Penetanguishene Kings' training camp will begin Tuesday night at the Penetanguishene Arena from 8 p.m. till 9:30 p.m. The remaining tryout dates are the 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, and 24th of Sept., commencing at 8:30 and ending at 10 p.m. The Kings will be after their fourth straight Georgian Bay League championship this year. Penetanguishene finished in first spot in the league last year with 54 points, recording 24 wins, 6 losses, and 6 ties in 36 games. Their closest com- petitor was the team from Gravenhurst with 50 points. They won 24 games as well, but had 10 losses and 2 ties for the four point dif- ference. Mishap leads to charge An accident at 19 Main St in Penetanguishene, at 6:35 p.m., Sept. 9 has resulted in a careless driving charges being laid against Donald Bonnin of 18 Yeo St Lane in Penetanguishene. Bonnin was charged after a car driving collided with a parked vehicle belonging to Florence Gregoire of 19 Main St. Although there were no injuries, damage to bonnin's car amounted to $1,000, with an additional $200 damage done to the Gregoire auto. Indusmin-Leitz soccer It may not have been very much, but the amount raised at the benefit game between Barrie Industrial Soccer League champions, Midland Indusmin, and consolation cham- pions, Leitz Canada, shows that the players were thinking about Terry Fox and his fight against soccer. The game was held at the Midland Secondary School football field Wednesday, with Leitz Canada coming out ahead of Indusmin 6-1. About 10 people showed up for the game, donations being taken in lieu of an admission charged. The game managed to raise $40, which is certainly disappointing, but is nonetheless an attempt at helping Terry's cause. Keith Duval scored the only Indusmin goal, while Malcolm Lonsdale played the whole game. Lonsdale is usually the coach of Indusmin, and admitted the morning after the game of feeling the full effects of his long absence from the field. Donations are being accepted Jake Reimer, manager of the Toronto Dominion Bank in Penetanguishene stated yesterday the fund for the children of late Anna May Poole has reached $1,673.

Reimer said so far, $337 has been collected for this fund and donations will be accepted into next week following the local run-a-thon event to be held in Midland this Sunday.
