Reeve o futurehopes The inaugural meeting of the new Zurich council which will govern the village for the •next three years was held in the council chambers, Monday. First, new reeve Don Van Patter, new councillor Mike • O'Connor' and re-elected members Bob Fisher, Isidore Laporte and Keith Westlake were sworn in. • - Invited guest Father P. F. Mooney addressed the coun- cil and village employees on the subject of authority, its necessity, its scriptural base, and the need for elected of: ficials to retain respect for authority by their own ac- tions, leading by example. Reeve Van Patter thanked the priest for his wise wards, and gave his definition of government as a "dedicated and concerned group of elected adults Working within, 'the confines of a democratic system, and in .so doing dispense their knowledge, - r Doug Geoffrey (onstrudion Homes Reno.•ohons Add,hons • rani •uddings d Reports Alumrnum-srd;nga Awn,ngs =with 236.4432 0ey$Im. • Exeter. 233.2961 Evenings their efforts and their ser- vices in a manner which best serves all of the people all of the,time." Van Patter pinpointed the village's main problem as a community with many assets, but presently at an "absolute standstill," and greatly in need of a healthy injection of farm -related, labour inten- sive light industry. He envisions a revitalized town -with no empty stores, and with local employment to give Zurich's young people hope for the future. Cuing the village's assets; its history, heritage, image, the suc- cessful bean festival, and the resources of the people, Van Patter is certain the next three years will put Zurich on the road to self-sufficiency. The reeve listed six priorities,not necessarily in order of importance. First was an on-going sidewalk repair program on a -worst- first" progression. Next came reconsideration of a stoplight at the main intersection, the creation and application of a plan to deal with vacant, run- down and condemned proper- ties, investigation and action to update and improve social and recreational facilities for senior citizens, establishment of a committee to work with county and, provincial authorities and other in- terested groups to examine zoning, servicecapabilities, possible need for annexation; and any other factors leading to attracting industr , and to Antenna B T Sale & Service Installation and Repairs 7,Delhi Towers TN. and C.B.

Hay council names t Speaking to the inaugura meeting of Hay township council Rev. Clayton Kuepfer paraphrased Paul's advice to young Timothy "Let no man despise your youth. Addressing a new reeve, a new deputy -reeve and three newcomers to council, he ad- vised them to "let no man put you down so you can't func- tion effectively in the posi- tions in which you have been placed". He assured the new council it has the vested con- fidence of Hay township, should make its decisions ac- cordingly, and "let no put you down when you have done your best." Reeve Lionel Wilder pro- mised ro-mised to give . township ratepayers as much value for the dollar as possible, and said he welcomed and en- couraged attendance at open meetings.
