Little League hockey at the Arena Gardens means a lot of work for comparatively few men as well as a lot of fun for more than 500 boys in Midland, Penetanguishene and surrounding areas. Equipment manager for the night, Frank Webb, is seen handing Brian Berriault a set of uniforms for his Boston team of the NHL B section. Play starts at 7 a.m. Saturdays, meaning an early rise for players and officials. 

There may well be some players among the 500 taking part in Little League hockey in Midland and Penetanguishene who will hit the “big time” someday. Rival players rate Bob Mathis as one of the hardest goalies in the league to beat. 

Knox Church Midland was filled to capacity Monday when funeral services were held for Wm. A. Robinson, QC, deputy speaker in the last House of Commons and a member of the legal profession in this town since 1926. A native of Penetanguishene, Mr. Robinson also took an active interest in promoting skiing in this area in his younger years. Internment at Penetang Presbyterian Cemetery. 

Three of the honourary pallbearers at the funeral of William Robinson are pictured here, Dr. D. C. S. Swan, Midland; W. L. Moore of Orillia, a former Liberal provincial candidate; Hon. Walter E. Harris, minister of finance in the last Liberal government. 

There will be nearly 300 more feet of docking facilities for small craft in Midland harbour next year. Three Midland men, Homer and Bob Wilson and Mac Dempsey prepare the 12-foot long cedar timbers that will form the base of the docks. 

After a lapse of several years, Midland Junior Chamber of Commerce is reviving its combined motor and fashion show at Midland Armory, November 22 and 23. Checking the venue are Jaycees Norm Palmateer, President Jack Gardner and Ray Smith.

Roy Salisbury of RR 1 Penetanguishene has his own collection of monsters in his cottage, The Cedars, Midland Point. This strange creation was created by cutting the first slab off of a spruce log in a mill at Emsdale. They have them (widely publicized) in Scotland and British Columbia, so there seems no reason why North Simcoe can’t have its Lake Ness monster or Ogopogo. At one time Mr. Salisbury had more than 50 odd-shaped pieces in his collection. He is also the proud possessor of a “talking dog” that can perform a number of mathematical stunts. 

Everybody had reason to be proud of the football teams at MPDHS this year and their feats were honoured at an athletic banquet Thursday night. Bill Kennedy, coach of the junior team, John Dubeau, junior co-captain, Doug Swales, senior coach, Bob Megaw quarterback and Joe Huston captain of the senior team and Bob Popple co-captain of the junior team. 

There’s nothing hardier than a hardy fisherman, such as the one seen in this picture taken below the dam at Port Severn last Sunday. There was snow on the ground, and a biting north wind, but that didn’t stop this fellow, and others out of range of the camera.

 

• The headline from the Free Press Herald, November 20, 1957; Predict $20,000 Deficit for Simcoe County CAS Amid complaints about the “carping criticism of sniping busybodies trying to discredit the work of the society,” the president of the Children’s Aid Society told county councillors Monday the CAS was in the red after nine months operation in 1957. W. G. E. Cumberland gave the interim financial report at the opening meeting of the November session of Simcoe County council in Barrie.

• The County Herald headline from November 8, 1957. “Rustlers Invade Tay Farm, Shoot Girl’s Prize Steer”   Grant Fagan and Mrs. Fagan were sitting in their farm home at Lot 85, Con. 2 when they heard blasts from a shotgun shortly after midnight Monday.

The consensus of the council was that if the 12-Mile Bay area was opened up for cottage development as now proposed, it would be detrimental to the tourist industry in Midland and lower Georgian Bay area.

• An object which may have been Sputnik II was sighted early Sunday morning by Mrs. Ben Cowie, 204 Lindsay Street, Midland. She glimpsed the mystery object from an upstairs window and said it was so brilliant she at first thought the garage was on fire. Rushing outside, she watched it for three or four minutes as it disappeared in a westerly direction. The time was shortly before 1 a.m. “It was shaped something like a gas bag,” reports Mrs. Cowie, “and appeared to be in sections like an orange or tangerine.” The brilliant object also radiated heat and gave out a “ssss” sound, she added. Later, about 3 a.m., she said she saw its shadow on the moon. [the story sometimes gets better with the telling]
