' New bingo hall to be largest in area by Murray Moore The bingo parlor in the Gateway Plaza building on King Street in Midland will be this area's biggest, its owners claim. George and Evelyn Du- quette of Tay Township, and their partners Cy Driver and Audrey MacLeod, the owners of Kingsgate Bingo, say bet- ween 500 and 700 people will be able to play in the Kingsgate. The parlor, across King Street from Tom Smith Chev-Olds, will be open Monday through Saturday. Bingo is not allowed in Midland on Sunday. The Stardust Bingo Parlour, currently the area's magnet for bingo players, moved to 'Tiny Township. from Midland after the town council turned down its re- quest for Sunday bingo. The Kingsgate will not be pushing for Sunday bingo "for now," Evelyn Du- quette said. A 10-year lease has been signed with the owner of the building. Duquette expects that when the bingo parlor opens Oct. 31, all of the slots for groups holding bingos will be full. Meanwhile, on the se- cond lot south of the Gateway Plaza property is a sign announcing the opening of "Kingscourt, Home of Midland's newest and most modern elec- tronic bingo." Sal De Vries of Midland Point has an- nounced that Kingscourt will open at the same time as Kingsgate.

Gateway Plaza has been under construction for some time. Its second storey will be commercial in nature and include a gas bar. Midand isn't big enough for two bingo parlors side- by-side, Evelyn Duquette said. When the Stardust moy- ed to Tiny Township, not all of the non-profit groups which were on the Star- dust schedule in Midland appeared on the new schedule. Because the bingo parlor was in Tiny Township, non- Midland MICE*BATS*RACCOON AND OTHER PROBLEMS? SOLUTION: THE NEW TRANSONIC V ULTRASONIC groups were given equal opportunity to be on the schedule. Some of the groups which will be on the Kingsgate schedule will of- fer bingo games every other week. This means more groups will have a chance to benefit, Duquette said. Two bingo parlors in Midland would be bad both for owners of the bingo parlors and for the non-profit groups, Du- quette said. Together the groups holding bingo games at the Stardust share $500,000 in profit a year.
