Village Of Zurich Crest Is
Drawn by Local Teacher
The Village of Zurich has de-
cided to adopt an official crest,
which will appear on all their le-
gal documents and stationery. De-
signed and drawn by H. R. Lati-
mer, the industrial arts teacher at
the local school, the crest will
represent Lake Huron to the west,
the rich agricultural area surroun-
ding the village and local industry.
Decision to adopt the crest idea
was reached at the regular meet -
tag of the council, last Thursday
alight in the council chambers.
The council set up a road bud-
get of $1,000 for the coming year,
•of which the Department of High-
ways will pay half in the way of
a grant. Road superintendent Mil-
fred Schilbe explained to the
council the job that is being done
on cleaning away the snow this
winter.
In other business the council
approved a salary of $200 per
Year for assessor Ted Mittel-
holtz.
Reeve Lloyd O'Brien informed
the members of the council that
the Township of Hay had decided
to turn the Community Park, east
of the Arena, over to the village.
Correspondence was also read at
the meeting from the Township
council to the effect that they
were satisfied to leave the School
area as it is now, which will mean
that Zurich will be part of the
Hay Township School Area. A
meeting between two bodies is to
be held in the near future to fur-
ther discuss other problems which
have arisen through the incorpora-
tion of Zurich as a village.
Communications were read to
the council by clerk A. J. Kalb-
leisch, from the Department of
Public Works, in regards to the
new post office which they in-
tend to build in Zurich. The de-
partment was inquiring as to the
water and hydro supply in the
village, and also the drainage.

An Urgent Appeal To Parents
Have you a boy or girl attending the local Boy Scout, Girl
CGuide, Brownie or Cub organization. If you have this notice con-
'eerns.you:
'"To make these organizations a success we must have good
leadership. At the present time we need both a Scoutmaster and
•an assistant Scoutmaster. We also need an assistant Cubmaster,
,otherwise these two organizations will be forced to disband."
"In addition to good leadership, these groups must be finan-
need and directed. This responsibility falls on two adult groups."
"Firstly there is the "Ladies Auxiliary to the Guides and
Scouts." In theory every mother of every Boy Scout, Girl Guide,
,'Brownie or Cub is a member of this auxiliary. Do you mothers
,attend meetings of this group?
The fact is that only six to twelve turn out, the rest apparently
have more important business. Are your children not more impor-
tant than some social engagement? For one hour. each week they
learn good citizenship and have a well supervised social period.
;Is this not important?
"Then there is the "Boy Scout Group Committee", which is
mainly concerned with the boys. This is a group of six executive
members and all the fathers of all the boys in the Scouts and Cubs
Meetings are not frequent but it is most unusual to have anyone
outside the executive interested enough to attend.
It is the responsibility of the committee to obtain leaders for
the boys, and then to approve the program. those leaders wish to
;follow and see that they have sufficient finances to follow through
With the program."
"There will be a meeting of the "Scout Group Committee" on
Thursday, March 10, at 9 p.m., in the Township Hall. All mothers
and fathers are requestesl to attend. We must find leaders.
If we do not we regret that we will be forced to disband both
the Scouts and the Cubs.
Are you interested in your • ioy?—Will you be at the meeting?

Zurich Lions Juveniles Win
WOAA "0" Championship
They've done it again. For the fourth straight year The Group
of boys Currently playing on this season's Juvenile squad have
won a WOAA championship. Although several changes have been
made in the team's lineup during the past four years the majority
of the boys who played on the 1956-57 champion Bantams, the
1957-58 Midgets, and the 1958-59 champion Midgets are still on
hand. Incidentally, the 1956 .57 Bantams were the team that won
the All -Ontario title.
This season the Lions sponsored
crew won the WOAA Juvenile
"D" Championship- by handing a
highly spirited Tara six a 9 - 2
trouncing on Wednesday night in
Tara. This was the fourth game
in the best three -out -of five series.
The locals won three and tied
one, as they outscored Tara 31 - 12
in the series.
After the game the victors were
presented with the Huron Exposi-
tor Trophy, emblematic of the
WOAA Juvenile "D" Champion-
ship, by a representative of the
WOAA from Paisley.
Grab Early Lead
The locals didn't take long in
proving to the Tara fans that
they were a much better team
than the showing they gave a
week earlier, by banging home
four goads in the first four min-
utes of the first period, and then
adding three more before the per-
iod's end.
Only stellar goal -tending by
Harry Cox, in the Tara nets, in
the final two periods, kept the
champions from adding to their
big lead.
In the hectic first period the lo-
cals certainly gave their support-
ers who followed them to Tara
something to cheer about, as they
completely outclassed the rival
crew. Captain Wayne Willert led

A minor rhubarb erupted in the
last two minutes, due mainly to
the unsportsmanlike conduct dis-
played by some of the Tara play-
ers. Five Tara players and three
of the locals were sent to their
respective dressing rooms for the
remainder of the contest. How.
ever, cooler heads prevailed at
the end of the game to prevent
a major donnybrook.
