Council gets plan update County planner Scott Tousaw and place a community improvement bylaw as well as a property standards bylaw. Zurich does not yet have the latter. Tousaw promised to find out more details on Zurich's eligibility and report back to clerk Sharon Baker. Councillor Herb Turkheim, chair- man of the economic development committee, was delegated to attend the public open house being held August 7 and 9 to review the draft zon- ing bylaw for Hay township. Fisher said he would like to see some township land surrounding Zurich zoned industrial, as little industrial land is available within the village's borders. Tousaw said that once the provin- cial land preservation policies now being drafted become law, changing zoning designation on agricultural land will be more difficult. He noted that Hay is supporting Zurich by not summer student John Myers attend- ed the regular July meeting of Zurich council to bring councillors up to date on the progress of background work leading to drafting of the village's secondary plan and a zoning bylaw. Reeve Bob Fisher was particular- ly interested in eligibility re- quirements for possible grants under the Ontario Neighbourhood Improve- ment program, which he hoped might cover part of the cost of projects such as sidewalks and repair of the Zurich drain. Knowing if funding was available would be a help when set- ting next year's budget. Fisher was told that grants are sometimes allocated while required policies are still in process. Tousaw foresaw possible completion of the secondary plan by early fall or winter. However, other criteria for ONIP eligibility include having in Local ladies win Congratulations to the lucky bingo winners last Thursday. The $1,000 jack pot went to Gertie Fleischauer of Zurich and the mystery prize worth $200.00 went to Emily McLeod, RR 2 Zurich. Convention Attending the two day C.W.L. Diocesan convention held in London at the Holiday Inn on July 8 and 9 were Rose -Marie Regier, Theresa Regier and Mary Ducharme of St. Peter's parish St. Joseph. From St. Boniface C.W.L., Afra Van Wonderen and Margaret Munn attended on Tuesday, while Josie Denomme, allowing residential build-up around the village. Dog control officer Dave Groot also attended the session to discuss some of the difficulties encountered in his job. He had discovered during a talk with a local veterinary that a tran- quilizer gun he had requested from both Hensall and Zurich is not the answer. Dogs can run five or six blocks after being hit with a tran- quilizing dart, and if the drug is too strong, it could kill a small or weak dog. Groot said he had come to coun- cil to seek direction. Fisher said paying a dog control of- ficer was a waste of money if dogs couldn't be caught. He said either the officer should be supplied with the proper equipment or the village revert to its position before Groot was hired. After a discussion, Fisher was authorised to approve the purchase of live traps for a sum not to exceed $100. bingo prizes Theresa Stark and Bridget Groot went on Wednesday.'

We're glad you asked With Iry Armstrong and Bob Fletcher of CAN ONE EXPAEft "MEANINGS" THAT ARE HIDDEN? On nationolly-televised talk show (The Today Show, in 1976), o noted pianist told of on incident while playing classics for 7 and 8• ear•olds in Harlem. After o fine rendition of one of Schubert's lovely works, one child asked the pianist, "Isn't he (Schubert) dead?" The pianist answered, "Yes, but he left his music for us." "But...," continued the child, "How do you know what he means?" The child's concern that the music be played os the decd composer intended it to be played - that is, per his wishes and inter* - inspired the pianist to be con- stantly more aware of accurately interpreting a composer's meaning. So it is, too, when considering funeral arrangements, that one con- siders "meaning", the wishes and the intent of the deceased. Better still is it to express your wishes for your own services i advance of p9ecl. It is then a true interpretation of your own hand. Thishelps to lift the burden from the shoulders of your loved ones in a time of great • stress. Just os the pianist became aware of the composer's meanings, you 'can make your family of aware of yours. Coll or stop by for more in- formation about pre -arrangements.

Swimming lessons will also be held twice a week at Vanastra in Clinton. Sweeney holiday A lovely holiday was had by the Sweeney family, Jerome, Carmel, Renee and Meagan, when we spent 10 days at our friend's cottage in Point Clark from July 3 to 13 and enjoyed lots of nice sunshine, swimming, relaxing and visiting with friends we know up there. On Sunday July 6 Jerome and I motored to Leamington, a four-hour drive from Point Clark, and attend- ed my cousin's celebration party for Elaine Noury, who was a nun for 25 years, but due to health reasons has recently left the convent and is begin- ning a new way of life. The get-together was held at the home of her parents, Marie and Louis . Noury, in Leamington with over 60 close friends and relatives attending. An out -door Mass was said by Fr. Fritzgerald of Windsor (who is also a family friend.) All enjoyed the day of visiting and listening to violin and accordion music under a big old apple tree followed by a delicious smorgasbord supper, complete with decorated cakes for the special occasion. A presentation was also made to my Aunt Irene and Uncle Charlie Tremblay of Windsor who are celebrating their 40th viedding an- niversary in August. While spending the rest of the week at the cottage we enjoyed shopping trips to Kincardine and our usual English style fish and chips dinner at the well know, Erie Belle.

This year more than 170 children turned up dai- ly for classes ranging from pre- kindergarten to grade 10. Two volunteer bus drivers drove through the surrounding countryside to pick up youngsters who wanted to attend. Other volunteers included 19 teachers, a secretary, a pianist, playground supervisors, and others who preformed such mundane but necessary tasks as unlocking buildings each morning and closing up each day, and moving chairs to where they were needed. Classes met in Zurich Public School, St. Peter's Lutheran Church, and the parsonage garage. All were based on this year's theme "Jesus, I Love You". The nickels, dimes and quarters collected from the 1986 Vacation Bi- ble School will be sent to LAMP, the Lutheran Association of Missionaries and Pilots.

Canada and the US are flown to these remote areas to teach Vacation Bible School there, too. JofIen Ofitnp3ea Some how, I have the feeling that the summer is quickly on the wane. Even the daylight hours are becom- ing shorter. Although the new auditorium is not quite completed due to a delay in the floor covering, residents and staff are still making use of it. When everything is completed, it will be a great asset to the Home. The residents and staff are enjoy- , ing fresh vegetables from the garden pampered by Mr. Steve Molnar. Very soon we will be eating the ripe tomatoes from his garden. Residents are kept busy during the mornings with the different programs planned for them and the craft room occupies quite a number of them dur- ing the afternoons. We are grateful for the nylons and other materials donated for use in this work. Mr. Chalut took some of the residents for a bus ride of their choice, taking in the scenes around the Bayfield area on Friday afternoon. Bingo was played on Friday even- ing followed by refreshments. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Rev. Bob Sinasac of Dashwood and Zurich United chur- ches. Mrs. Grace Martin presided at the organ during the service. The members of the Conservative Mennonite church of Blake visited the Home during the evening, providing vocal music for the residents. et • v' ' 1:,11 .4. • BUSY HANDS — A class decorates Vacation Bible School in Zurich. sunshades during craft time at plus Installation INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL offer ends July 31, 1986 CaII Today for a FREE -Water Analysis IILYO(JWGAN MANt Goderich -524-9571 or toll free 1-800-265-5528 .
