"Open House is a day Huronia Historical Parks annually sets aside for local residents and visitors as our way of recongnizing the tremendous support our programs receive from area communities, commented Paul Deault, Géneral Manager of Huronia Historical Parks. University students, who work as guides and costumed interpreters at the two sites, are now going through their paces as part of an exhaustive, two-week, orien- tation program. The students are highly trained to bring a sense of living history to Sainte-Marie and the Establishemnts. Three major factors will ensure that 1982 goes down in the books as an auspicious season fro Huronia Historical Parks. The year marks the opening of the new half- million-dollar Visitor Centre at the Historic Naval and Military Establish- ments and visitors can preview the at- tractive facility during Open House. The centre boasts an intricate ship display as well as an audio-visual theatre. The second major factor is "Destination: Sainte-Marie', guaranteed to write its own kind of history.

Human Rights hearing has lasted two weeks by Adrienne Commission hearing: Graham Gardner into the dismissal of - The Human Rights Ecole Secondaire Former mayor described past life in Penetang by Murray Moore About a dozen area service clubs were represented Wednesday at the special meeting of the Midland Rotary Club held at Penetanguishene's Bay Moorings to recognize the town's centennial. Former Penetanguishene mayor Alfred Thompson related some of his memories of the town, as far back as the age of four when he was present as the tercentennial ceremony at Huronia Park. Members of the new Penetanguishene Rotary Club, which is being started by the Midland Club as its contribution to Penetanguishene's centennial as a town, were introduced. Centennial chairman Dianne Greenfield told the 150 people present that the meeting was the 86th centennial event since celebrations started on Jan. 4, and that there will be 103 more events before Aug. 13. Thompson included in his remarks mention meeting in a German prison camp a fellow flier, Phil '"Babe" Marchildon, another native of Penetanguishene who before and after the Second World War was a major league baseball pitcher, and the inadvisability of helping to pull over an outhouse without checking first to see if it is occupied. In Thompson's story, the occupant was male, armed with an impressive skinning knife, and almost as fast a runner as Thompson, who survived to be a special prosecutor with the Attorney-General's of- fice.

The freeze was im- posed by the Minister shortly after the initial application for an- nexation made _ by Midland for the same area in February, 1981.
