Zurich 'Becomes Incorporated Village
Congratulations to the, people of -
Zurich who on January 1. will he -
come residents of the incorporated
Village of Zurich-. At that time the
coranaunity-_ becomes -separated from -
the ToWnship of Hay and will be
erected into a village. ___
Since its founding, Zurich has had
an iden'tity of its own which has been
recognized over a wide area and en-
., ha,nced through the years as a re-
sult of contributions its citizens
have made in many • spheres. In the
world of sport, particularly, the
name Zurich has been a byword.
While it has made • an enviable
-name for itself in the past, the com-
munity at the same time has been a
part of Hay Township. The present
move will now permit it to act on its
own in municipal , matters without
- reference to the township.
That it is well able- to handle its
own---arrairs was recognized by re-
presentatives of the Ontario Munici-
pal BOard,l,vho'rnet in Zurich l recent-
ly to C•onsid 4'd the application, for it-, --
• corporati0. The board, learning of,
the high.. s , a,rd of. municipal ser-
- !'ee provide the citizens and recog-
nizing that there was no outst,a,nding
indebtedness, Prp,i.sed ;the ,trustee
board for its efficient adirdnistfation,
Commenting on the proceedings,
to incorporate, the Zurich ,Citizens'
News emphasizes the co-operation
that has existed between -the town-
ship and the village during prelim-
• ina,ry discussions, and the broad -sup-
port that existed *among residents
• for incorporation.
, With sUch a, background, of agree-
• ment, the incorpOration may well be--:
. the, foundation, for a greater Zurich.
Certainly every good wish or the
• future is extended to the people in
... their newstatusas citizens of an in-
corporated village. { 4

Hesitate To..Investigate
The Prime Minister is considering
the possibility of the appointment of
•a-cOmmission to investigate the effici-
ency of governrnent. In fact, Mr.
Diefenbaker is quoted as "exalting
intensively" Such a proposal
All this is hardly news. When Mr.
Diefenbaker raised the subject in his
, 1957 campaign, it wasn't a possibil-
ity, it Was a promise. On several oc-
casions he pled ed a Conservative
government would set up _a commis-
sion so that "unnecessary and waste-
• ful federal expenditure could be elim-
inated."
• Now once again, as if suggesting a
• new policy, he announces the govern-
ment is considering such a commis-
_
sion.
It is typical of the indecision—the
promise, the retreat, the reassurance
•that features so many actions of
• the Prime Minister.
But perhaps in this ease there is
• a reason for. the _delay and hesitation.
It was Mr. Diefenbaker who pro-
claimed in his 1957 campaign that a
Conservative -government would re-.,
duce by $500 million .ayear federa
• expenditures by eliminating waste
and extravagance. In the light of the
Sonservative deficit—the greatest in
Canada's history—it might well be
• embarrassing to permit an independ-
ent "Commission to -,-delve into its caus-
es. _Mr. Diefenbaker may well fear
an expert eiaminatiOn of Conserva-
tive government operations _which
currently cost about $800 million a
• year more than in the last year in
which __the Liberals were in office.
"Meanwhile, the number_ of em-"
ployees in the Conservative govern-
According to the bureau of statis-
tics, in March,;1957, the total number
of1 federal civil servants, excluding
• casuals, was 173,551. By -March, 195D,
this had increased to 182,944—a jump,
or5,9 or almost six per cent:,
Typical of the_hollowness iwith
which the government proclaimed its
desire to reduce expenditure is what
happened in1 the department of
finance and in the prime minister's
office, The finance department is
headed by Donald Fleming, who next
• to the Prime Mimster, has talked
more -eeonoiny than anyone. But -
what happened? "
In the two years prior- to the
change of government when the- de-
partment was headed by Waiter E.
Harris, the staff declined from 5,141
to 4,805., Since Mr. Fleming "took ov-
er it has grown to 5,014-
, ,
In the Prime Minister's office the
Staff declined from 105 to 86 in the .
"-t-Nwea's prior to 1957.- -Under the
-preSett prime minister it has grown'
to 141.
Is it any wonder that Mr. Diefen-
baker hesitates to examine extrava-
ganCe in government?
