Local groups join with others around the world Without even leaving the local area Midland and Penetanguishene Boy Scouts joined in on the 19th annual world-wide Boy Scout jamboree this weekend. The troops spent the weekend at Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre, along with the troops from Port MeNicoll and Wyebridge. The most interesting part of the weekend for most of the boys was talking on the radio to other troops around the world. The Georgian Bay Amateur Radio Club assisted the 60 boys and their leaders in communicating with other troops in England and the United States. Mike Moreau, an operator from the club, told a group that catching Euro- pean troops would be dif- ficult because they'd be asleep when area scouts were on the airwaves Saturday afternoon. "Usually, we only get in touch with American troops," he said, "because Europe is asleep."' As Moreau said 'V E 3 Whiskey Yankee Echo,' he tuned himself in to stations in the southern and western United States. VE 3 WYE are the call letters for the station at the wildlife centre. Jeff "Klug, 11, "and 12-year-old Norman Dupuis of the 1st Pene- tanguishene troop, talked to Dale and Travis in San Springs, Oklahoma. They talked about the weather and their ranks and work in scouting. Klug said talking on the radio was the highlight of the weekend for him. "The fact you can talk to someone so far away without any wires," he said, was the best and most fascinating part of his weekend. Before the boys were allowed to go on air, they had an hour's briefing ses- sion. They watched a videotape about space ex- ploration and how radio is used in that. They also learned how radio waves bounce off the ionosphere in straight lines, the angle at which they hit it and leave it being equal. This is why these sound waves can travel so far, Moreau told them. According to Moreau, an earlier group managed to reach a troop in England. Saturday night's camp- fire was a lot of fun, as well, Ladouceur said, especially the _ skits. Ladouceur's group did one about Settler Sam who McQuirter offers new service for clients Bryson McQuirter Jr. _President of Realty World, Bryson McQuirter Ltd. has announced the opening of a new service to the Midland Penetang area. McQuirter's firm will be the first in the area to open a Property Management Department, to be headed by Patti Richardson, an associate Broker with the company. Property Management, according to Richardson, is a-much needed service to both landlords and tenants. From the landlord's point of view, the Realty World McQuirter office is well equipped to complete- ly handle the management of their properties whether they be family homes or multi unit apartment buildings. The goal of the new department is to create a "worry fee" investment for landlords by handling not only the supplying of tenants but also overseeing maintenance, bills, accoun- ting and rent collection. Landlords can _ avail themselves of all these ser- vices or only a portion of them. With respect to renting units, Richardson will advertise the suites or residences, screen pro- spective tenants and show them through the proper- ties, take deposits, arrange leases and provide infor- mation on the Landlord and Tenant Act. Prospective tenants will greatly benefit from this service as well since Real- ty World McQuirter will run a "rental registry"' whereby when someone is looking for rental accom- modation they can register their names and_ re- quirements. There is no charge for this service to tenants. Richardson also explain- ed that investors will want to take advantage of Real- ty World McQuirter's ser- vices as they will be con- stantly screening the market place for available buildings and handling the financing of the purchase. McQuirter said this new department has been a Midland-Penetang club starting by M.

The youth camp became co-educational in 1970. In 1984 it was renamed Co-op Young Leaders Program. UCO is the largest farm supply and marketing co- operative in Ontario, with sales last fiscal year of $498 million. UCO sells feed, seed, fertilizer, petroleum and hardware through about 100 CO-OP sales and service centres across the province. It also markets livestock and grain.

Approximately 40 per cent of the players will receive ACBL rating points, which will be issued a few minutes after the conclusion of the game, or can be collected on any succeeding Wednesday bridge night. Brian Seamore of the Y, in an in- terview with the Midland Times, stated that the club will gradually introduce some duplicate (which is the rage in larger centers). But until the newer game "catches,'"' there will be plenty of ordinary con- tract. Admission is free for the first game. Those plan- ning on attending are ad- vised to be there prior to 7:15 p.m. if possible, so that the game can start at 7:30 p.m. There will be bridge games of various types every Wednesday night, with the exception of the Christmas and New Year's break. A schedule of events will be issued to those at- tending, and copies can be obtained from the Y. We are sure: that all in the district will wish success to the new club. ya Timely Gift jaea Quartz Wall Clock Simple yet elegant...

"We finally thought the time was right and Patti Richardson was the logical person to promote to this position."
