Citizens Naves, August 20, 1951 Early night marauders hit Zurich "Nightly entertainment" was ,the topic of two discussions at Zurich council Thursday. Phil ERb spoke to council about an empty house next to his home. About dusk, Erb said , bats begin issuing from an upstaris window. On oc- casion, Erb said he had counted over 200 bats. There is also an old well on the same property and the "top is shot" Erb said. He felt it could be a hazard to the children of the neigh- borhood. He said he thought the well had been partially filled at one time, but it looked to him to he 12 to 15 feet deep and still held some water. The house on Main Street, east, is said to be completely gutted and is owned by a "gentleman from London". Councillor Bob Fisher said council should pass a resolution giving the owner a deadline to clean it up or the village would do the work and bill the owner. • "If we don't have this authority as an elected body, we might as well quit," Fisher stated. Councillor Isidore Laporte quipped that bats were good for man and kept insects in check. Get rid of all the bats he joked and first thing you know you'll be swarmed with flys. A council member suggested a spray or moth- balls, but Clerk Sharon Baker wondered where the GETTING A SAMPLE — Shelley Erb comes up with a beginning of the cooking operation Monday night. Targe serving of beans prior to the Actors prep in barn for next performance Actors often complain that their rehearsal halls are as drafty as barns, but not many have as much reason as the cast of He Won't Come In From The Born, which runs August 25 to September 5 at the Blyth Summer Festival with the assistance of Goderich Elevators, Ltd. The actors in H. Won't Come In From The Ram are picking up a little local at- mosphere (the source of the atmosphere is not specified) by rehearsing the play in a barn not far from Blyth. "I wanted the actors to ab- sorb the essence of rural living." director Paul Thompson says, "We took a straw vote and everyone agreed we should hit the hay, so to speak." Author and star performer of the play, Ted Johns, sums up the reason for the play by quoting from it: "Farmers are like mushrooms. They're kept in the dark and they're fed manure.'Anyone who's brave or foolhardy enough to learn to be a farmer these days would be well off to do it on the safety of a stage." He Won't Come In From The Born is a revival of the hit that played to sold -out houses in Toronto and in a two week run at Blyth Summer Festival in 1977. The show features Ted Johns as both actor and writer in this farcical treatment of the troubles of a• -modern age farmer who retreats to his barn in protest. The same hard-hitting and hilarious satire that characterized Johns' The School Scandal and St. Sam of the Nuke Pile is turned on astronomical interest rates, 'government regulations, plummeting returns on farm products and rising supply prices. The cast includes Johns' as the recalcitrant farmer who takes up residence In his barn, and Janet Amos, as his wife. Ms. Amos is artistic director of the Blyth Summer Festival and is the wife of Mr. Johns' in reality as well as on stage. William Dunlop, Graham McPherson and Keith Thomas fill out the cast. Although some perfor- mances are already sold out, there are still plenty of good seats available. He Won't Come In From The Rare runs every night except Sunday at 8:30 p.m. from August 25 to September 5 with matinees at 2 p.m. on September 3 and 5. Seats may be reserved by calling the Festival at (519) 523-9300, 523-9225, or in per- son at the Festival box of- fice. Dairy Store MAIN ST - ZURICH PHONE 236-4930 bats would go if they were simply chased out of the house. Council made a resolution and will draft a letter requesting the owner clean up the house by September first or council will have the work done. Squeelling tires and a police siren woke Zurich residents about 4:30 Saturday morning, August 8. Councillor Fisher won- dered who would pay for a tree damaged by the police cruiser while maneuvering to pursue hot-rodders. He also said he though the police siren was only to be used in emergency situations. Laporte said he un- derstood it was also to be used when chasing suspects. Dan Turkheini noted that it was good to hear the siren as it showed somebody was on the job. Reeve Fred Haberer agreed saying he was able to get to sleep after he heard the siren: Council discussed the situation in an incamera session. A letter will be sent to the OPP thanking them for sending someone out to in- vestigate the situation. The village will absorb the cost of the damaged tree. The council passed a resolution allowing the bean festival to close village roads to traffic on August 22. The roads closed are : Goshen Street from the post office to highway 84, Mill Street from Frederick Street to Goshen, Victoria Street from Highway 84 to Rosalie, and highway 84 from Goshen to John Street South. In other business: Council passed a bylaw appointing the clerk as a lottery licensing officer. A second bylaw to for- malize council's permission to hold sports and games on Sunday was scrapped. Councilors felt sports were held without the bylaw and shouldn't be limited by it. Council meetings may be changed from Thursday to Wednesday nights in the fall to allow the clerk to take a Pogo 11 Thursday night course at Fanshawe College. Council will set the new date at the September meeting.
