Matching visitors with beds for Pope John Paul II visit called 'mammoth' Local pre aration for the visit next year on Sept. 15 to the at Penetanguishene's Martyrs' Shrine of Pope John Paul II is 'aa mammoth undertaking"' which "cannot be done halfways because of the security and monumental nature of the event," Midland town council was told on Monday. Doug Little, manager of the Huronia Tourist Association, said that an application for $220,000 is being made to the federal government, to be used to hire 15 people who would organize a reservation and referral service for visitors needing accommodation on the Papal visit weekend.

The proposed reservation system would cover the county. Peevere uous will be made for people to sleep in church halls, rks, and armories.

He suggested that each visitor would spend at least $100, and that 500,000 visitors would mean $50 million, "an astronomical amount of money"' to be spent in this area all at once. | "We don't have a handle on a number. We can only look after as many as possible," Little said. The idea is that the visitors will be treated so well that they will return.
