King Kamehameha celebration June 10-12.

High point is the June 12 Waikiki parade with floats and marching bands, followed by arts and crafts demonstrations and ancient hula and chant competitions at Kapiolani Midland Planning Board chooses to reason with Tiny Midland Planning Board will explain the reasoning behind two of its recently passed bylaws to _ neigh- bouring Tiny Township, in the hope that the township's planning board will withdraw its objections. At one point during its meeting Wednesday, the Midland board discussed taking the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board for a decision. Board member Councillor Richard Platt said the objections were "obviously a harrassment" because the bylaws did not affect Tiny Township. The township plan- ning board objected to a bylaw reviewing the parking requirments for manufacturing com- panies and industries in Midland "on the basis of insufficient information and explanation con- cerning such a broad scale rezoning." The township board, also during its Feb. 17, meeting, decided to Object to a Midland bylaw concerning what businesses would be allowed in the town's industrial park, noting "insufficient inform- ation concerning the intent and effect of this bylaw. Tiny Township also You bet your funny hats by Garry Forbes There is_ strong evidence that Canada may be developing a sense of humor. Witnesses have noted chuckles, giggles and even outright laughs from this nation's inhabitants -- once described as '"'boring Americans" -- when exposed to per- formances by homebred comedy acts which have in recent times chosen to chance Canada's frigid waters rather than flee to the cash- filled pools of the U.S. Latest in the short list of laugh-inducers is the Great Acme Harpoon Company, slated to aD) peer dees at Penetanguishene's Bay Moorings March 29-30. Richard Dumont, leader of the Harpoon troupe, Toronto-based fivesome are trying to anchor themselves in mid- Ontario for the summer. All five have worked with the Second City travelling troupe, which packs them in during extended stints at Huntsville's Deerhurst Inn. With Second City, the group learned that it is indeed possible for Canadians to open up, says the - and the Harpoon gang - are taking it even one bold step further. Their unique act, says Dumont, includes a series of comedy scenes with an _ underlying theme, some musical parodies and "'blackouts"--short quickly-staged -- one-li- ners to keep the pace. But that's all relatively normal, right? Then comes the im- provisational part, a section of the show in which the acfors work with the audience in creating spontaneous scenes. It's something new, says Dumont, but something which doesn't take long to get used to. The Harpoon troupe has been performing such improvisational scenes for businesses, conventions and anybody else who wants an off-the-wall por- trayal of just about anything, for some time now. And now they're going to give everybody a look. "This kind of thing has wide appeal," says Dumont, the 26-year-old founder of the group ALL MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE ASSOCIATION ARE INVITED TOATTEND The 61st Annual Meeting of the Midland Y.M.C.A.

"'It's dif- ferent from the 'normal' scripted-type act. You never see two shows the same."' Business promotion manager Keith Ward says the group-- composed of the energetic Dumont, along with Joe Chilco, Sue Morrison, Wally Colandinski and Orillia native Shirley Gillette-- is one of only two travelling comedy troupes (along with Second City) in the country. He knows, however, as does Dumont, that there are a lot more smiles than that. And the Great Acme Harpoon Company is intent on drawing them out. Boat Midland Board that Goman Boat objected to a bylaw rezoning some land fronting Victoria Street, but the township's objection arrived one day after the period allowed for objection had concluded. Midland Planning Board secretary Bryan MacKell advised the Midland board that it could ask the OMB to approve the two bylaws on the basis that the objections were frivolous; that the board could ask for an OMB hearing; and that the board could ask Midland council to repeal the disputed bylaws. A letter from Goman informing the Planning will not be moving trom 769 Vinden Street to Penetanguishene as previously expected, and that Goman Boat would like to continue its manufacturing at that address until Sept. 31, has been received by the board. Goman Boat's main building is on Victoria Street. The Vinden Street property it is also using is zoned highway commercial. Twelve people work for Goman Boat at the Vinden Street plant. Goman Boat had planned to move to Penetanguishene _ but because of the economics of the day it is instead increasing production both at Victoria Street and Vinden Street. Millions to be spent eContinued from Page 3 Annedol Investments plans to sell the apart- ments in the phase one building on a time-sharing basis. In time-sharing, an apartment is rented for the same week of the year for 20 years. Using the network of timesharing apartments that is spreading around the world, a renter in Midland could trade with a renter in another part of the world if the renter in Midland didn't want to spend that week of a year in Midland. Apartments rented on a timesharing basis are now in the Horseshoe Valley and in Collingwood. The owner of a timesharing building can sell each of the building's apartments 52 times, once for each week of the year. Peter Taylor, Annedol Investment's marketing and sales manager, said that Annedol Investments calculations of revenue from timesharing are based on a conservative figure of 42.5 per cent occupancy. There is an annual maintenance fee. In 1979, according to Annedol Investment information, the average maintenance fee was $120. On the basis of a 42.5 per cent occupancy of the phase one building, Annedol's revenue would be slightly over $7 million. NEED EXTRA MONEY?
