Hay Council Discusses Fire Protection Makes Grant To Zurich Public Library Fire protection was a big issue at the monthly meeting of the Hay Township council meeting on Mon- day afternoon, in the council cham- bers of the Township Hall. The council had received several let- ters asking for increased fees for fire service, and also a letter from cottage owners at Sharrow Sub- division, along the lake, asking what fire protection they had at their cottages.

In connec- tion with the cottage owners, the clerk was instructed to advise them that the Township has agree- ments with Zurich and Dashwood fire departments, and that, in case of fire, either brigade should be called. In a move which is taking place all through this section, both the village of Zurich and the town of Exeter are asking for larger stand- by fees for their brigades. A similar situation is taking place in Clinton, where the surrounding townships are being asked for more help towards maintaining the fire departments.

They are working as though their very survival depends upon it — and it probably does. If work to survive applies abroad, I contend it applies equally here at home. "Marketing schemes, subsidies, deficiency payments all have their place. To many they are palliativ- es only — not permanent cures."
