Days gone by! This was the scene at the Country Mill eleven years ago as the St. Andrew Hospital's Ladies Auxiliary saluted the institution at their annual dance. This scene will be repeated on Nov. 8 as the Huronia District Hospital's Ladies' auxiliary will be saluting cee re HDH for 10 years of service. This year's event will be held at the Highland Inn. By the way, the girls in the picture are none other than (from left to right) Bert Nichols, Bev Hunter, Barb Simpson and June Walton. Village Harbour aid shore owner In an effort to help Village residents with the problem of flooding, as a result of the exceptionally high water levels in Georgian Bay, * Victoria Harbour council has gotten 2,500 sand bags from the Ministry of Natural Resources. At last Thursday even- ing's meeting of Victoria Harbour's lawmakers, Administrator Doug Jackson reported to the council the sandbags have no value in combat- ting waves, but are effec- 'tive in preventing flooding. Jackson's report stated the sandbags will be available to the residents at no cost and all the council must do is try to insure that the bags are used for flood control and no other purpose. In an interview Friday, Doug Jackson said although some of the pro- perties have been affected as a result of the unusual high water levels, the municipality has not taken advantage of the Shoreline Assistance Program of- fered by the Ministry of Natural Resources. "We haven't had any re- quests for the assistance," said Jackson, "although we have had a lot of inquiries about it. Once people find out it is a loan rather than a grant they are not in- terested." Jackson said despite the fact the community has been faced with a fair amount of shoreline ero- sion this year, as in other municipalities, the pro- blem has not reached the point where the safety of actual structures is being threatened. Jackson added if the pro- blem becomes much greater than it is now, the municipality will look into getting the government funding to help the Har- bour's residents. Variety galore A new store in Midland sells more than 125 kinds of cigarettes. A new store in Midland sells one-of-a- kind pieces of jewellery priced in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. The cigaret- tes and the jewellery are sold in the same store, The Little Store. Owner Werner Schmidt says that the discount cigarettes attract potential customers for the wide range of other goods on display in his Edwards Village Square Mall store. The jewellery is made by Marcel Brunel. Each piece is unique. Last week on display was a pair of rings, man's and woman's, the man's with four diamonds, the woman's with eight, each with a blue topaz, 14 karat gold, priced at $2,500. Another' piece of jewellery, priced at $3,000, was a 14 karat gold, one full karat diamond ring. On the top of The Little Store's sign, in smaller let- ters, is the name Penetang Trading Centre. The Little Store is an offshoot of the Penetang Trading Centre, of 1 Water Street, Pene- tanguishene. Goldsmith Brunel works there. More of everything Schmidt car- ries in The Little Store is available in the larger Penetanguishene store. Schmidt categorizes The Little Store as a gift store. Included in his stock are heavy wicker furniture, stereos, television sets, an- tiques, watches, brass ob- jects, belt buckles, knives, watches, and collector pins. Schmidt says that if a brand of cigarettes is not in stock, he can have it by the next day, if that brand is available in Canada.
