The demonstrations are intended to give a general idea of the training and evolutions that could be carried out by a group of seamen who landed during the 19th century to conduct operations on shore, either independently or in support of. troops and marines. "This is the first time the cadets have participated in Liberty Days and I really feel they will bring an added dimension to our event this year and the public shouldn't miss seeing the well-trained corps go through their paces,"' commented Burke Penny, Coordinator of Programs at the Establishments. Liberty Days runs from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, a youth movement co-sponsored by the Depart- ment of National Defense and the Navy League of Canada, will perform only on Sunday, throughout the afternoon, starting with cutlass drills at 1:45 p.m. The cadets are between 13 and 19 years of age and the young men and women receive extensive training in citizenship, 'physical fitness and related nautical subjects. Nautical technology and skills in the 19th century will also be featured at Liberty Days in the Seamen's Barracks. John Gilbert is one costumed interpreter who will be demonstrating intricate ropework of the early 1800's. Gilbert points out that many of the skills are still used today on pleasure craft for such ropework as mooring, anchor and docking lines. "Sailors at the Establishments are in- viting boar owners to bring along any three-strand rope to Liberty Days and the interpreters will demonstrate their skills in knotting and splicing to make lines to each boater's specifications,' said Gilbert. Comestic crafts in the 19th century will also be highlighted at Liberty Days in the Assistant Surgeon's house, including quilting and spinning skills along with other activities designed for children. The immesne naval storehouse provides an ideal setting for a forty-five minute dramatic presentation called "Nexus!"', focussing on a desertion which took place at the Establishments in 1818. Rounding out the impressiye "Liberty Days" program is a 19th century food fair as visitors sample cuisine from the 19th century. The fair includes a cooking contest and the public is invited to enter dishes in two categories covering desserts and preserves. Three possible winners will receive attractive 19th century reproduction kettles. Further information on the cooking contest can be obtained by calling the Establishments at 549-8064. Visitors who wear an Official pin or costume commemorating Penetanguishene's centennial celebrations will be admitted to Liberty Days free of charge. The Historic Naval and Military Establishments are located at the end of Church Street in Penetanguishene.

Anyone at- tending the meeting Thursday morning at 7:45 a.m. to help plan Midland's Homecoming '82 will agree with this statement. It was a very active and dynamic group of volunteers who formed committees to plan events and promote ideas to publicize Midland. We are all proud of Midland and wish this energetic and enthusiastic group of volunteers success with Homecoming '82. Make your plans now to participate and invite your friends or relatives to your home in Midland for the weekend of October 1-3. I don't believe that the spirit of volunteerism is dying in Canada - on the contrary, I believe that more than every today, people are looking for truly meaningful ways to contribute to their community, to help make our society a better one in which to live. They are looking for challenge; they know that changes are necessary in our society and they feel alienated because big government, big business and big labor no longer seem able or willing to provide effective leadership. @ Cont'd from pg. 1 that the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office had been advised of the fire and under what circumstances officials belive it started. Local authorities say there's evidence of the curling club being broken into and that the fire itself originated in the bar area of the lounge. None of the plaques or trophies were harmed as they had been placed in another part of the building for safe keeping. Meanwhile both Light and Player are currently conducting a full-scale, round- the-clock investigation into the fire with samples from the blaze already being sent to the O.F.M.O. As for exhausted firefighters they didn't return to the hall until just after daybreak after extinguishing the stubborn inferno and then mopping up.
