Potential Investment the reason Tom Gostick, owner of the Lady Midland, yesterday said he is continuing with his lawsuit against the Town of Midland for a reason beyond stubborness. Investors, some of them local, wanted to see how the business went this year before deciding to invest their money with Gostick and the Lady Midland, he said. Investment could lead to a renovation of the Lady Midland, or the purchase of a new, larger boat, Gostick said. He wants, by winning his lawsuit against the town, to prove to potential investors that his first. year's business was unfarily hampered. "This year was a beginning year and we had the ladder kicked out from under us before we reached the second rung,"' Gostick said. This is why on Nov. 14 in the Supreme Court of Ontario Gostick's lawyer will ask for a quashing of a town bylaw which will have expired, on Oct. 31. Gostick also said that the town has plans for the town dock for next year, but that he doesn't know them. Announcement of plans for the town dock is scheduled for later this week, a town Official said on Monday. Gostick speculated that cruise boats might not be part of the town's plan for the town dock next summer. The unidentified potential investors are sympathetic, but not about to invest money on the basis of the Lady Midland's first year, Gostick said. They need assurance that Gostick in future will receive '"'more equal and fair treatment," he said. Gostick hopes to provide that assurance with a court vic- tory. Gostick's position is that through this past summer he has not had an opportunity to equally compete with his competition.

RC meeting highlights = was greeted by a large group of interested parents when it held its regular meeting at St. Paul's School in Alliston on Sept. 21. The meeting began with the annual School Opening Mass. con- celebrated in St. Paul's Church. Agenda for the evening was ab- breviated in order that parents might question, comment, and discuss with members of the Board. Discussion ranged through finance, Catholic Family Life Education. Catholic High School education for South Simcoe, and the future plans of the Board as reported to the meeting by Chairmen of standing committees. ECOLE ST. LOUIS, PENETANGUISHENE The Board decided at its Sept. 21 meeting to further discuss with Ministry of Education officials its desires for contruction of an 11,400 square foot building as the first phase of the new Ecole St. Louis in Penetanguishene. Concern has_ been expressed by Ministry «Q Eis '3 Simeoe County Officials that the Roman Catholic _ building cannot be built : Separate School Board within the $500,000 budget. It is the Board's position that it would be irresponsible to build any less as a reduced building would require portable accommod- ation as early as Sep- fem ber , 1984. Suggestions will be made to the Ministry as to how any costs beyond current allocation might be addressed. SCHOOL OPENING: 1983 The Board reviewed enrolment figures at its meeting on Sept. 21. 6,695 students were registered in the Board's schools as of Sept. 9.
