Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Plante, of
Goderich, on their return trip
from Windsor, called on relatives
on this highway this past week.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Denomme
and daughter, Rosalie, were re-
cent evening callers at the Jef-
frey home south of St. Joseph.
Monday last was Decoration
Day in the United States, and as
early as Friday last, early in the
day, Americans took full advan-
tage of the long week end. Many
had boat -trailers loaded with their
boats, where they .will probably
be left on some camping ground for
summer holidays. The American
holiday, Decoration Day, has
brought many visitors from the
United States due to the long
week end, and that was noticeable
in the Parish church services on
Sunday last.
Many of them were campers ov-
er the week end along the lake at
a close distance.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Sopha
and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Sopha,
of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Dietrich and son, of Zurich, and
Mr. and Mrs. John Mahoney, of
Mt. Carmel, were all visitors with
Mr. and Mrs. Dolpha Sopha, of
this highway, on Sunday last,
Several from this Parish attend-
ed a religious ceremony given at
the Mother House of the Sisters
of St. Joseph in London on Sun-
day last, and the ceremony was
very impressive.
A very enjoyable evening was
spent on Saturday last at the home

children gathering at the home of
their parents on the occasion of
Mr. Masse's 70th birthday. Gifts
were presented to their father, and
also many good wishes for many
more happy years. Lunch and re-
freshments were served to all.
At time of writing the weather
has been fairly nice and farmers
took full advantage of it by work-
ing on the land. The little sprinkles
that have fell of late caused little
or no delay.
If the weather continues, there
will be many acres of beans plan-
ted and like other seeding, there
is a time for it too early, in case
of frost, or too late for proper
growth and maturity.
There was a hang back in grain
seeding due to rain, perhaps
where the late seeding is in the
ground there may be a hang back
for rain to moisten the tiny plants.
So, what next, to cause you wor-

Helpful Advice
The Zurich Mennonite Church
was well filled on Sunday even-
ing, May 29, when Dr. A. W. Klah-
sen spoke to the youth group on
the theme, "How to Keep Court-
ship Christian!"
Using appropriate scriptures as
a background and foundation, the
speaker said, "We are living in a
day of moral slackness."....
Speaking of what God intended
marriage to be, he said that man.
and woman are not to be corn -
pared, but are to be complimen-
tary to each other.
His counsel on dating included
this: "Be sure the other party is
a Christian;" `Accept no promises
of chanes after marriage." Chris-
tian youth groups provide an ex-
cellent opportunity for young,
people to learn to know each oth-
er.
The doctor set forth three rules
for Christian youth to follow in
making decisions: "The voice .of
Circumstance:" "The voice of Con-
science;" and "The voice of Di-
vine Guidance."

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME!
The baseball season in Zurich officially op-
ens this Friday night, with the St. Marys Lincolns
providing the opposition. This game promises
to be an interesting affair, as the same two clubs
battled it out last year in a thrilling play -'off
series. Game time is 6.30 p.m.
Five Teams
The five teams which will be taking part in
a double schedule this year, are: Stratford Nat-
ionals, Mitchell Lincolns, Dashwood Tigers, St.
Marys Lincolns, and the Zurich Lumberkings.
Stratford, a new entry, will provide good stiff
competition this year, will be an "A" club, while
the remaining four teams will be of "B" calibre.
Most of the teams will be playing a home and
away game each week,
Locals Ready
Locally, the Lumberkings will have much
the same lineup as last year, with only a couple
of changes. Backstop duty will be performed by
George Parker, of Hensall, who has been with
the club for the past few years, Playing mane -
ger Don O'Brien will be at first; Doug O'Brien
at second; Danny Trushinski at short (when he
is not pitching); and reliable Bill Yungblut will
be back at third.
The outfield will be patrolled by Bruce
Moir, back after one -year's absence; Arn Meyer,
13111 Craig, Pete Masse, Murray Colquhoun, Dick
Bedard and Danny Moore. One familiar face who
will be missing this year is that of Gerald Bell,
who has joined the ranks of the Dashwood Ti-
gers.
For mound duty manager O'Brien has him-
self, Arn Meyer, lefty Claude Tessier, Danny
Trushinski, and a local juvenile, Johnnie Masse.
Negotiations are still under way for another star
pitcher, but he will not be available until the
end of June.
Season's Tickets
As in year's .past, the ball club is again sell-
ing season's tickets this year, which will cover
all the regular scheduled games. These tickets
can be purchased from any member of the team,
or at the Citizens News office. As well as saving
money on a season's ticket, the fans will be giv-
ing the local ball team a boost,
