Zurich Citizens News, 1964-01-30, Page 4• PAGE SIX ST. JOSEPH and DRYSDALE CAL. FRED DUCHARME, Ccrreaondentl.. Mr. and Mrs. John Mahoney, twice a week, for their enjoy - of Mount Carmel, were Sunday last visitors with the latter's parents, Mr, and Mrs. Dolph Sopha of this highway. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Statton, of Detroit, were weekend visitors with the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Denomme. Mr. Blaise Ducharme and two sons, Vincent and Anthony, spent a few days with the form- er's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. Ducharme. While here they called on relatives in the sur- roundings. Mr. Leon Bedard, who was :confined to St. Joseph's Hos- pital, London, undergoing surg- ery, returned to his home on Monday last, much improved. Mr, and Mrs. Ed Corriveau, who spent a few days in Lon- don, returned to their home on Monday. While in London they were visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Morley Fournier, their son-in- law and daughter. Mrs. Theresa Hartman, of Zurich, and Mrs. Louis Farwell, of the Goshen Line south, were visitors on Tuesday last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Du- charme. The occasion was Mrs. Ducharme's eightieth birthday. ment. That was not sufficient to satisfy their young hearts and many tines they would form a party of teenagers and others in their twenties, also married people would join the group. They would walk to the lake and most of them had a set of home-made wooden skates, they would put them on and skate on those clear strips of ice. Those who were minus the skate would try to follow the others by slipping along on the ice, Such outings were not a daily routine but perhaps twice a week they would get together for that enjoyment. We were told by our late parents that they too would sometimes take part, when the sky was clear and the moon was pouring out its full force of light and the temperature perhaps twenty be- low zero and a few more de- grees from the under -foot ice. Those young sports were garbed in the style of their day, usually home-made w o o l en clothing. That sport we were told had become customary, We believe today it would be dis- approved by the average young people. The young of today, especially the fair sex, are not garbed with heel length woollen gowns, and with their thin body covering they could not be sports of such skating occasions, rather they would be seen as some frozen object. 0 Winter Returns After a few days of mild and opened weather to melt away the snow banks, we are again in the grip of winter -like weath- er at time of writing and on Sunday last perhaps the worst storm of the season came as a surprise. Visitors, due to poor visibility, were held up and others who had made an at- tempt to visit relatives had to turn back. The old saying, if in winter •a month starts like a lion it finishes like a lamb. We are not sure about this present January, what will turn up. Only the end of the month will tell the tale, Winter Pastime Last week we told you of those clear strips of ice for the purpose of setting nets through the ice for fishing. We also told you about horsemen who would train horses for race tracks. All of the above were paying propositions for those who took part in such work and sport. This week we comment on the early years of this parish, or those who lived a short distance inland. In those pioneer years there was not the •amusements as today to attract the attention of the young people, such as outings with cars, public dances, theatres and what -all for the young people to pass away the time. There was the old-fash- ioned house dance, perhaps VIIMINIIMINNIenecerszEnsismingonamigi Zurich Mennonite JESUS CHRIST 15 LORD JESUS CHRIST EST SEIGNEUR SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2 — 10 a.m. — Sunday School 11 a.m. — Worship Service YOU ARE WELCOME!

Dashwood Although winter has returned in all her golry many of us were reminded of Peter Mc - Arthur's poem, "Sugar Weath- er" last week and the lines which go as follows: When icicles crash from the eaves And the furrows peep black through the snow Then I hurry away to the sugar - bush For the sap will run I know. And that is exactly what Aaron Restemayer did last Friday. He not only gathered a good run of sap but cooked up some fine syrup, and this is January.

"The :department of municipal affairs is strongly in favor of it, the cost does not 'seem excessive, and I think it is the next step." "Is it something we should look into right now, or let it drift," enquired Reeve Elgin Thompson, of Tuckersmith. "No," replied Mr. Alexander; "my opinion is we should take our time, but it will come." Council on Wednesday heard E. Goodman, of Kitchener, con- struction safety officer for Hur- on, Bruce, Dufferin, Grey, Perth, Waterloo and Wellington, ex- plain the Construction Safety Act. Huron council has defer- red appointment of an inspec- tor, though it is mandatory un- der the new legislation, and members asked many questions. "Inspection has been manda- tory on local municipalities since 1911, under the old Act, and now is a responsibility on the county level," Mr. Goodman said. "Local municipalities may still appoint their own inspec- tor, after due notice. You may appoint a full-time or part-time inspector or make other ar- rangement which will fulfil in- tent of the Act, which is to provide for the safety of work- men," To Reeve Morgan Agnew, of Clinton, he said the salary range for inspectors was $4,250 :to $6,000, and Reeve Donald Mc - THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1964 Kenzie, of Ashfield, remarked: "You won't get an engineer for $6,000." "We do not generally get an engineer," said Mr, Goodman, "unless the county engineer takes over, or in a city the deputy engineer might act. I think one might suit Huron best." "Would you feel one inspec- tor would be sufficient for Hur- on, 60 by 30 miles, with the amount of sewer projects going on?" asked Reeve Walkom. "Your inspector will not be travelling .haphazard," Mr. Good- man replied. "Each person to whom a permit is issued will within seven days notify the construction safety inspector of his location. I think one would be quite sufficient." Reeve Glenn Webb: "In our case, when we issue building permits we have had instances when there was no construction for six months." Mr. Goodman: "That would seldom be the case." Reeve A, D. Smith: "Our building by-law does not cover farm buildings," iVlr. Goodman: "Neither does the Construction Safety Act." Reeve Dunbar: "Would there not be duplication with the duties of the trench inspector?" Mr. Goodman: "The safety in- spector now has jurisdiction, and could pull inen out, but he would notify the trench in- spector." Council had referred to the warden's and personnel com- mittee a resolution from the united counties of Northumber- land and Durham proposing that the duties of an inspector under this Act "be carried out in con- junction with the duties of one of the other inspectors presently employed under the Department of Labor or the building inspec- tors in the local municipalities." • ;r'PLumBInG ert 4 • SERUI(E 1141 Nyli Save TIME and MONEY HEATING • Oil Burner Service - Electrical Work - GIVE US A CALL FOR SERVICE!
