I ., :.� . , ... i ; J _ . � . s �ppn.�.�ted First Clerk -Treasurer Of Zurich At a special ' meeting of the council of the village of Zurich last Friday night, Albert J. Kalb- fleisch was appointed clerk -treas- urer and tax collector of the new- ly -incorporated municipality. He will have the distinction of being the first clerkstreasurear of Zur- ich. Born in Hay Township, Mr. Kalbfleisch has been a prominent citizen of the village for many years. For 22 years he operated a hardware store in Zurich, in partnership with the late William Reeve H. Coleman Gives Road Report To County Council A budget calling for about the same amount of money to be spent in 1960 on the Huron County road system, as the $860,000 spent in 1959, is now being prepared, it was reported to Huron County Council Thursday by Reeve Har- vey Coleman, Stanley Township, in his final report as chairman of the 1959 road committee. Final figures on the 1959 road program, said Reeve Coleman, show outlay of $859,999;95 on which provincial subsidy is being claimed. Total value of work done on Huron County roads in 1959, he noted, was $1,224,084.67; the difference between this total, and the figure submitted for ` subsidy purposes, is accounted for in large part by expenditures of $269,501.- 75 on the new development road running east -west through Carlow from Dunlop to Auburn. The work on this road is financed entirely by the Ontario Government, with the Huron County, roads depart- ment doing the work and super- vision. By-laws are being prepared, Reeve Coleman said, to authorize land transfers in connection with a proposed new bridge over the Ausable River, at the three-way boundary of Larnbton, Huron and Middlesex counties. The new bridge is to be about 100 yards north of the existing bridge, and land in Huron will have to be ex- propriated for thebridge ap- proaches. The new bridge is to be built and maintained by the Middlesex County roads depart- ment, with Lambton and Huron each contributing to the cost. Easy weather in the last month of 1959 has helped the snow -re- moval costs on county roads were $22,000 less in. December, 1959, than they had been in the same month of 1958. Johnston.

"Hockey is Canada's National Gagne, and participation by the youth of our town is encouraged at all levels. We are proud of our game, of its ability to develope character, citizenship, and respect for authority as well as its physi- cal and body-building benefits. "For these reasons, I am happy to endorse Minor Hockey Week in Canada, and call upon all citizens to join the observance of this week by supporting Minor Hockey and by attending the special "Minor Hockey Night" at the local arena tonight. I •commend to you the of- ficial slogan of those promoting the week: "Don't Send -- Take your boy to' the Arena." 0 Tonight Is "Minor Hockey Night" At The Local Arena A special evening- has been arranged for tonight, Wednes- day, in the local Arena, when "Minor Hockey Night" is be- ing observed here. The occa- sion ties in with the "Minor Hockey Week in Canada", which is being observed all week. Two minor hockey games are on tap tonight. At 7 p.m., the Zurich Bantams will en- tertain the Clinton Bantams, while at 8.30 p.m. the local Juveniles will be playing host to the Goderich Juveniles.

The motto far "Minor Ho- ckey Night" is, "Bring, don't send your boy, to the rink." INVITATION TO PARENTS January 27, 1960 DEAR MOTHER AND DAD: As this letter is written, your son is busily preparing for the most important game of hockey he will ever play. At least, it's the most important game right now. By to -morrow morning there will be another, "most important game" looming ahead of him next week. Although most of to -day's game will soon be for- gotten we, in charge of minor hockey are hoping that the boys will learn something on the ice to -day which will not soon be forgotten. In the minor hockey games we naturally try to teach the boys all the basic fundamentals of hockey, such as skating, shooting, passing and so forth. These are things which help. to make him a better hockey player, however, there is much more we try to teach. Your boy, along with other thousands from east to west, is being taught the value of teamwork and the ability to 'get along' with team mates and opponents. He is being taught how to win modestly and how to play by the rules of the game, and, if he must lose, how to lose gracefully. He is taught respect for the rules and for those in authority. He learns that to be a good player he must keep his body in good condition and live a clean life. In short, our minor •hockey program has one chief objective. That is to help you to bring up your son as a good citizen and a better Canadian. From Newfoundland to British Columbia hundreds of men from every walk of life are voluntarily engaged in minor hockey work. This week has been designated NATIONAL MINOR HOCKEY WEEK IN CANADA. It is a week designed to focus public attention (espec- ially the parents) on the great values and ideals minor hockey teaches to all boys. Tonight, Wednesday, has been designated as "MINOR HOCKEY" NIGHT AT THE LOCAL ARENA, when the Zurich Bantams play host to Clinton at 7 p.m., and the Zurich Juveniles will entertain the Goderich Juveniles at 8.30 p.m. Please try and arrange to be present for both these games, No one but a boy can really say how important it is for him • to have the interest and support of his parents in his hockey activities. Minor Hockey Night is your opportunity to show not only your son, but the coaches, managers, referees and many, many others associated with the sport just how much their efforts are appreciated. The slogan for National Minor Hockey Week is "TAKE, DON'T SEND, YOUR BOY TO THE ARENA". We sincerely hope this is one slogan which all parents will take seriously tonight, and will be pres- ent at the local arena. Well, the kids are ready for that "most important game". In closing our thanks for your interest and support. We'll look for you at the rink tonight. "YOUR MINOR HOCKEY COMMITTEES"
