the raw figures were a little
misleading as items such as
environmental services in-
clude sewers and the water
works and revenue is
generated by these services
as well as the tax dollars.
She noted that the council
had tried to keep its own costs
and thus the mill rate, down
as much as possible. There
are no plans for any major
construction in the village this
year the clerk added, noting
that council was looking to
maintain the quality of ser-
vices already offered.
In other business:
Council received 19 applica-
tions for the position of roads
superintendent. It was plann-
ed to interview eight of the ap-
plicants June 15.
B.M. Ross and Associates
were given approval to con-
duct an inspection of the
Zurich arena. The inspection
is required by the ministry of
labour and is expected to cost
between 5300 to $600.

by the Huron County

Plan skit for 4-H
By Caroline Tickner
On May 25 the Zurich Calf
club held its fifth meeting.
We all met at Mark Erb's
where we judged four beef
cows. Then we all went to
Sharon Thiel's and started out
judging four dairy cows. After
all the dairy members had to
give their reasons for judging
After we read the play, it
was decided that Paul andAl
would write up the parts.
We then discussed the Blue
Jay's game, the judging com-
petition and some other
things. The meeting was mov-
ed closed and Mrs. Thiel serv-
ed refreshments.

Works hardest --for peanuts!
Ah, the roar of the grease-
paint, the smell of the
crowd...
Two of the most interesting
performers at Thursday's
Martin and Downs Circus
were Sahib and Judy.
No, they weren't the
muscular chap and the bux-
om lass swinging on the high
wire - though the strength of
Sahib's muscles was well
demonstrated and Judy is a
well shaped 20 year-old.
Admittedly their act was
rather pedestrian when com-
pared to jugglers tumbling
fire brands, buxom lasses
balancing on chairs, a crack -
the -whip artist, buxom lasses
swinging on trapezes, unicy-
cle riders, trained dogs leap-
ing from tall ladders, buxom
lasses balancing head-to-
head, a pure white, not so
pure Lippanzaner horse leap-
ing into a caracole, buxom
lasses...
Sahib and Judy appeared
only once, but seemed to do
most of the work of the show.
Other performers appeared
in a variety of acts and duties.
I'm sure one flying trapeze
act appeared if, different
costumes and performed
under three different names.
Circus souvenirs could be
bought from a woman with
large... sparkling..eyelashes,
last seen balancing a chair on
four drinking glasses.
Sahib did a lot of the heavy
work of putting up the tent;
Judy carried a large number
of children on her broad back.
Neither got billing. Instead
they performed under the ti-
tle Craig's Performing
Hollywood Pachyderms.
Judy and Sahib her
23 -year-old mate, are
elephants.
According to their trainer,
a gruff, seemingly unap-
proachable man, who turned
out to be a gold mine of infor-
mation once he started talk-
ing, the elephants have pull-
ed free stuck vehicles that
the intermission.
But it was not the strength
or the size of the elephants I
found most impressive. It was
their gentleness.
Sahib lumbered forwards
and back at the firm, but not
shouted commands of his
master. He carefully avoided
tent ropes and pegs and dex-

h
even tow trucks couldn't
rescue.
Sahib, the trainer said, had
pulled up to 27,000 pounds
deadweight and had once
pulled a tractor -trailer truck
loaded with four other
elephants, a weight of about
70,000 pounds.
So for Sahib, pulling up tent
poles would hardly work up a
sweat. There is a bit of weight
in the load just as the elephant
starts moving Craig said, but
the effort of the tent pole is
nothing compared to the
beast's capacity.
Working elephants in the
far east toss about teak logs,
some up to eight feet in
diameter, Craig said.
Though Judy got off easy in
raising the tent, she got the
job of taking the kiddies for
rides. Up to eight children
climbed aboard for .two cir-
cuits of the ring. Then it was
back for another load. In all
about 85 kids (a few adult
kids, too) took a spin during
terouslya voided steppi ng onor
tangling his harness.
When not at work, his trunk
was used like a hand to search
out clover and sweet grasses
at the fair grounds. He would
grasp for a moment then pull
up the weeds and munch hap-
pily away.
Unwanted weeds were
uprooted and tossed away.
Craig said he once worked
with a 68 year old elephant.
The old girl was still strong
enough to pull up the tent, but
being half blind, . partially
deaf and senile, was almost
impossible to control. Few
human circus workers could
boast their usefulness at 68.
Since I started this column
with an old joke, it is only
right that I bring it full circle.
Sahib and Judy, like the
human circus performers,
seemed to thrive on the au-
dience, the applause. In reali-
ty however...wait for it..they
work for peanuts.
Home workers commended
The staff of the Blue Water
Rest Home were commended
for their sense of personal at-
tachment and sense of pride
at the home's annual
meeting, June 8.
Administrator Joe Risi told
members of the home's ad-
ministrative board that the
home provides the "ultimate
in health care."
In a detailed report, Risi
outlined the time and money
spent on operating the home.
There are 46 workers on the
full time staff in nursing, kit-
chen administration and
maintenance functions.
Board chairman Dr.
Charles Wallace also thanked
the staff for their "diligent
and fine care."
He noted the home, such as•
a hospital in a small town, "is,
in a way, an industry." The
home provides work and
wages for area people he said.
Risi noted about 5496,000 was
paid out as wages last year.
"Even if the dollar's only
worth 79 cents, its still a lot,"
Dr. Wallace said. •
Both men said that they
were pleased to have a two
year contract signed with the
workers.
Risi said the contract will
give employees a $1.40 per
hour raise over two years.
This will bring the average
wage to $8.30 per hour, a 16.7
percent increase from the
current average of $6.90.
Financially, Dr. Wallace
noted the home had had
another successful year - "we
are still in great demand."
The chairman noted the large
number of aged people in the
area who are in need of care.
Risi said there was a small
waiting list for apartment
units connected with the
home. He noted rents at the
units were $204 per month at
the Maplewoods apartments
and 5200 per month at the
Blue Water Rest Home
apartments.
Mary Gingerich, secretary
of the home's ladies' auxiliary
reported the auxiliary had
had a successful year, too.
She noted the auxiliary ar-
ranges monthly birthday par-
ties, provides birthday and
Christmas gifts and cards,
and holds a Christmas dinner
and an indoor picnic in June.
Risi's report noted these
family dinners were attended
by 160-180 guests.
Gingerich said the aux-
iliary has three major fun-
draising events, the Mother's
Day Tea, a fall bazaar and a
booth at the Bean Fest. Aux-
iliary donations to the home
last year included a serving
cart for the kitchen, several
lamps and Christmas centre
pieces.
Gingerich said the aux-
iliary's efforts are wor-
thwhile. "If we have been
able to create a happier time
(for the residents)".
Gordon Erb of the
nominating committee
reported that two board
members would be retiring
from their duties.
John Corbett's position as a
mea►ber-at-large will be fill-
ed by Ian McAllister. Earl
Oesch will replace Lewis
Boshart as representative of
the Zurich Mennonite Church.
Erb said it was "gratifying
that there are public spirited
citizens in the community."
The administrators report
noted there were 12 male and
51 female residents at the rest
home. He calculated the
average age of the residents
at 84.4 for the ladies and 82.9
for the men.
Of the residents, 19 were
new residents in the last year,
24 were re -admissions, 31
were discharged to other
facilities. There were 11
deaths last year.
Risi noted the staff servgd
over 68,000 meals in the past
year and processed an
average of 340 pounds of laun-
dry per day.
