That's when the town will be the scene of yet another popular (and annual) Sidewalk Sale and Gameland. This summer there have been a host of special events that have taken place in Penetanguishene...all of them well attended and weather permitting this week's sidewalk sale ought to be the biggest and best yet in the town.

Doctor Lauzon has earned retirement AS WAS FIRST reported last week in The Friday Citizen, Dr. Roland Lauzon, a Penetanguishene _ physician, plans to retire this Friday after almost 29 years of practice in the town. The good doctor has led a full life, one that has included lots of work and now with his pending retirement looming just days away, we would like to extend to Dr. Lauzon a happy retirement. It is good to know the doctor won't be turning his back entirely on medicine since he plans to keep his connection with the Georgian Manor. As long as there's talk, there's hope WE COULDN'T be happier that both the Town of Penetanguishene and the Township of Tiny are discussing the freeze the province placed on _ future development along Highway 27 west on Midland between Midland and Penetanguishene" in the township. As long as there is dialogue there is hope both parties in this matter can come to terms over what prompted Penetanguishene to seek the freeze in the first place and how it can be lifted. We appreciate Penetanguishene's concern that development along High- way 27 be kept to appropriate highway development and that Penetanguishene's downtown be protected. Let's hope more discussions this summer will resolve the issue to everyone's satisfaction. New eradawns on Penetanguishene A GREAT deal of good- natured fun has_ been generated by recent exhibition softball games between members of Penetanguishene council and the town's police force and between local firefighters and policemen. We like what we see...and from where we sit it appears a positive new era is dawning on how we view our elected and appointed officials.

Page 4, Wednesday, July 29, 1981 Dear Sir: ; I would like to take this opportunity to respond to a recent letter published in your paper concerning a local employer's unfortunate experience with students hired to deliver flyers door to door. The letter states that it is the responsibility of the Student Centre to instill the importance of doing a good job as the students are a reflection on the Student Employment Centre, their family and peers and most importantly on themselves. The Canada Employment Centre for Students refers students to jobs that are listed with the Centre, the employer decides who is to be hired. Obviously in this situation the employer did not make a good decision. What was not mentioned in the letter was the fact that other students were hired and did a good job. In fact one female et was singled out for doing an exceptional job. I have been advised that when our Student Centre heard of the employers' dissatisfaction with the job done by a couple of students, the students were called in to our office and in- terviewed by one of our Student Placement Officers. Sheds some light on issue Following the interview the students returned to the employer and gave back or offered to give back a portion of the wages they had been paid. The letter fails to make mention of this fact. The Student Centre has become an integral part of our community. Each year more and more employers list vacancies with the Centre and each year more and more students find employment through the Centre. What makes the Student Centre successful? It is not only the dedication and enthusiasm of the staff but the eagerness and desire of our local youth who go out and fill the jobs and do it in an efficient manner. Our on-going contact with employers confirms this. It is unfortunate that the employers Jurgen Pape and T. Richard Secord would use a Letter to the Editor to make a sweeping statement on all youth. I am sure that many employers, parents, teachers and students will disagree with their blanket criticism. I do. Yours truly, --D.J. McNee, Manager Canada Employment Centre 525 Dominion Avenue Midland, Ont. Tribute paid to retiring doctor Dear Sir: I think the sentiments which I am about to share with you will also be the sentiments of many people in our area. Dr. Lauzon is retiring this Friday after almost 29 years of practise. From my experience of having him as a doctor, I can say that I will miss him greatly. He has always been there, day or night, when Tay opens its coffers Earlier this month members of Tay Township council approved accounts for the month of July totalling $637,906. Biggest chunk, $367,202.94, was for general accounts while another $268,392.03 was under the heading of Waubaushene Water, that is work currently underway in improving the hamlet's water supply and sewage system. In other money matters Tay's law-makers approved accounts totalling just over $28,000 for work done by Rono Construction approved a $2,007.90 account from Ainley and Associates for work conducted. by planners on Tay's zoning bylaw and at the same meeting gave the green light to paying a Tay road voucher in the amount of $159,309.28. any of my family or myself have needed him. This includes many holidays including Christmas. He is a dedicated, conscientous, hardworking person, who deserves to look forward to many years of pleasure and relaxation. We wish him the very best and I would like him to know that the citizens of our area respect him and appreciate all the time and effort that he has spent on our well being. Yours truly, -A.
