Liberty Day § Annual event you'll not want to miss Liberty Days at the Historic Naval and Military Establishments in Penetanguishene providé a _ mid- summer weekend filled with high Spirits, pageantry and the bustle of an isolated outpost when the sailors return to port.

Folks who take a fancy to the 19th century fare can buy the appropriate -- recipe, written in antique script, on parchment. The HNME Descendants' Organization is selling the recipes individually and _ is __ including translations of the 19th-century instructions which were usually somewhat vague and left a lot to the cook's ingenuity and imagination.

Visitor Program Assistant Mary Skinner in mob cap and apron will prepare tea biscuits in the bake oven of the handsome stone building. Creative cooks from the community will compete in a ship's biscuit bake-off Sunday afternoon in the Keating House, a charming reconstruction of the family home of the Fort Adjutant between 1829 and 1849.

The students explained their findings to a group of local municipal politicians, chamber of com- merce representatives, and representatives of the Midland-Penetanguishene Manpower Assessment and Planning Committee. Alex Wilson, chairman of the Joint Manpower Assessment and Planning Committee, described the report as a proposal for action. He agreed that a joint economic development body was needed by the two towns, but not wih all of the students' other recommendations. Midland Alderman Patrick Kearns called the $4,000 study a "move in the right direction," although some of its recommendations, he said, ys Days provides a rare opportunity for visitors to eavesdrop on the 19th century in two contrasting settings. In the Roberts House, Captain Roberts, his wife and their servant Richard Pye, will carry on their day-to- day life, stopping only to chat with visitors who stroll through the gate in the picket fence that surrounds their picturesque home. Nearby, in the Establishment's Seamen's Barracks, a typical noonday meal will be served to hungry sailors. Mary Skinner says the meal will be hearty but not as tantalising as the food prepared by Richard Pye for the Commanding Officer and his family. The seamen will fill up on stew, hard bread and cheese. All were standard navy issue. Elsewhere on the HNME site, there will be ongoing musket drills and salutes by the HNME guard. A contingent from the Trillium Sea Cadet Corps of Midland will put on a display on the lawn north of the Officers' Quarters. Those interested in the raising of the Hamilton and the Scourge from the depths of Lake Ontario will enjoy the special display mounted by the Hamilton / Scourge Society. Saturday and Sunday afternoons, Muddy York, a dramatic dance and music duo, will present three 45-minute dramatic animations: "A Sailor's Life', "A Soldier's Life'"' and "Life in a Garrison Town". Anne Lederman and Ian Bell of Muddy York bring the social life of the 19th century in Upper Canada to life. Entrance to the Muddy York presentations in the Naval Storehouse is free with site admission. Energetic site visitors are invited to compete in sawing and peg driving competitions. The nautically-minded can examine rope work in progress for the replica of HMS Bee. Costumed sailors will stand ready to relate the story of the historic vessel.

Tenders for construction of the heliports are to be called shortly, spokesman for the MPP said. Floodlights at the landing sites will permit emergency helicopter service to Operate at PGH and HDH around the clock. To date, Bandage I the health ministry's emergency chopper, has been available for stops at the hospitals during daylight hours, or at night after a special waiver permitting nighttime service has been obtained. The MPP's office said that the heliports are expected to be ready for service by the end of the year. A cost figure for the work was not available. \ Economic strategy "may be contentious." Bob Robbins, a Canada Employment and Immigration consultant, said that the study, if commissioned from professionals, would have cost $70,000. Midland and Penetanguishene have an altractive location and a skilled work force, but no salesmen, he said. York University team spokesman Randy Tisdale said the two towns "have a pretty good mousetrap here, but nobody knows about it." The study was prepared for the Economic Development Committee jointly formed by Midland and Penetanguishene. Funding for the Economic Development Committee comes from the Midland-Penetanguishene Manpower Assessment and Planning Committee. As part of their university work, a team of eight York University graduate business students studied the two towns for six months and wrote a 171 page report. rounds.

Most activities will be ongoing on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The traditional Tecumseth Cup sailboat race is scheduled for Saturday with awards to be given at the HNME visitor docking facility north of the Officers' Quarters following the race. Race co-ordinator, Burke Penny, has announced that the course will be shortened if weather conditions dictate, to ensure that everyone will be at the HNME Site by 6 p.m. On Sunday morning, the HNME guard will participate in a 148th anniversary service at St. James-on-the-Lines, the historic garrison church where outsized doors and aisle were constructed to allow for the entrance of soldiers marching four abreast.
