Editorials Information-honestly, openly and freely shared- is the hallmark of democracy Happy birthday MP IT WILL BE a quarter of a century this Sunday that CKMP Radio first came on the air to serve Midland-Penetanguishene from the 1230 spot on your radio's dial. Two long-time CBC Radio operator-engineers, Bruce Armstrong and Stan Tulk, were the brains behind the 250 watt radio station.

Grant Forsythe, Ian Brownlee, Tommy Shields, Ken Trew, Murray Eldon, Paul DeCourcey, Mike Cranston, Bill Bramah and Doug Johnston are some of the announcers who were employed at CKMP for a time and who have gone on to fame and in some cases fortune. And how about those hi-reviewers Fred Hacker and Anne Gignac or Red Nicholls who played jazz. They too got their start at "MP as did Al and Nancy Jenson, Jean Stanway, Doug Setterington and most if not all of the Armstrong kids including Jim and Arlene. Simcoe County Board of Education's first chairman, John McCullough, was one of the radio stations first program directors. So as CKMP wraps up its first 25 years in business, this newspaper wishes 'MP all the very best for the coming 25 years. Happy birthday CKMP!

It's been decades since John Power, George Lott and others others first organized the initial bass derby in town. Each year since then it has grown into a highly competitive 1st of July event.

Was agentleman THE HEADLINE read: Ex-NHL head Clarence Campbell dies. It was a shocker to learn of Campbell's untimely death the other day. Clarence Sutherland Campbell died in a Montreal Hospital just short of his 79th birthday. He had been admitted to hospital about a week previous with heart trouble. It was he who was president of the NHL during the league's turbulent years, 1946-1977. The former pro hockey referee and Rhodes Scholar, was a lawyer by trade, a military man and a gentleman in every sense of the word. Campbell left his mark on the National Hockey League and for this the league can take pride.
