Lions Hear About Belgian Congo Part( Board k Seeking Free Fill For Project The Zurich Community Park Board are looking for fill for their park east of the arena. Anyone who has considerable fill they would like to dispose of should contact either Ferd Haberer, chairman of the board, or Herb Turkheim, secretary. The wish of the board is to find a place where they could draw a considerable amount from, without changing a load- ing machine from one placeto the other. If anyone is plan- ning on opening a gravel pit, or any such project, the board will be quite happy to take the unwanted dirt off their hands. If a substantial amount of dirt can be located, a large work bee will be organized in the near future, when all available trucks and tractors will draw fill to the park. With the Fall Fair coming up again, it is hoped to have the park further advanced by that time. At their regular dinner meet- ing on Monday night, the mem- bers of the Zurich Lions Club saw interesting, pictures of the Belgian Congo; shown by Sgt. Frank Burns, of the RCAF Sta- tion, Clinton. ; Sgt. Burns has just recently returned from the Congo, where he was instructing in tele-eommnizieations for= the RCAF.

Two delegates to the recent Lions Convention in Kingston, Lion Lloyd O'Brien and Lion Nap Corriveau, gave an inter- esting account of their trip. Lion Jack Bannister gave a report to the Club on the Blind meeting he attended in Wing - ham, and also advised the Club that the Huron Blind group are interested in holding their an- nual picnic in Zurich this year.

Earl Wagner, Don O'Brien, Larry Bedard and John- nie Masse each hit safely once for the locals.

The Hay council gave in to the original request of Exeter to pay for eight per- cent of the cost of a new engine. Some time ago the Hay coun- cil turned down the idea with the feeling that it was costing the ratepayers in the township too much for fire protection for one small corner of the area. Later they received a petition from a number of ratepayers in the south-east corner, request- ing that Hay council go along with the plan for a new engine in Exeter. After dickering with the Exeter group asking for a stand-by fee only, the Hay coun- cil were turned down on their request, and finally gave in to the original request at their Monday night meeting. What reaction this will bring from the fire departments in Hensall, Zurich and Dashwood is not known at present. but it Lutheran Churches Across Canada Seek Union Into One Large Group A call to all Canadian Luther- ans to join together in one chur- ch was made Sunday by Rev.
