Zurich Midgets Win WOAA Title In Two Straight Games The Zurich Lions Midgets last Friday night won the WOAA .,Midget D championship, when they defeated Drayton 11-3 in the second game of their best - of -three final series. The game was played in Drayton. Earlier in the week, on their home ice, the Zurich crew had won the first game of the series by a similar score. They will now advance into the Ontario Minor Hockey Association play - downs, but as yet they have not received word as to who they will meet in the first round. Ken Westlake and Bill Hoff- mann led the Zurich six to their second win of the series, with three goals each. Richard Thiel and Barry Block each scored twice, and Wayne Decker bang- ed in the extra goal. Early Lead The game was only three min- utes old when Thiel blinked the red light for the victors. A minute later Westlake flipped in a pass from Hoffman and Block, and from that point on the Zurich crew never looked back as they went all-out for the victory. By the end of the first period they were leading 5-2.

Unique Forum The Unique Farm Forum met on Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Klopp. The subject under discussion was, "wino will control agriculture?" The questions under discus- sion were as follows: 1—What commodities do you produce, and, by commodity, how would you like to see them marketed? (a) private enterprise (b) co-operatives (c) marketing boards. 2—What advantages do you see in regulated marketing? Member of the Forum answer- ed the questions as follows: 1—Wheat, white beans, hogs, cattle and dairy products, (a) It was felt that if all these coin- modities were marketed through private enterprises there would be a possibility of large monop- olies taking over. (b) The meet- ing decided that a very large portion of our commodities should be marketed through co- operatives as well as marketing boards. 2 --Through a regulated market- ing system these commodities should be placed before the consumer in an orderly way and a marketing board of our owns seems to probe our 'export mar- ket more fully. For exaxmple, our white bean board is doing a very good job in finding ex- port markets. The next meeting will be held on March 9, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Herb Knopp, Frey; defence, Mike 'Soldan, Robert Bannister; centre Barry Black; wings, Ken Westlake, Bill Hoffman; alternates, Bill Schade, Charles Becker, Paul Corriveau, Richard Thiel, Paul Hesse, Brian Decker, Wayne Decker, Gary Flaxbard.

School Board Will Allow Supplies oard Investigates Water At their regular meeting last Wednesday afternoon, the Hay Township School Area board'de- cided to contact two rock -well drillers for prices on digging a rock well on the proposed new school site. The board is asking for prices per lineal foot on both five and six inch holes, with casings. They also want to know when the work can be completed. The two drillers who are be- ing contacted in regards to this work are G. L. Davidson, of Wingham, and Hopper Well Drillers, Seaforth. Meanwhile, there has been no change in the plans of the school board regarding the site of the new school which they proposed building, despite severe criticism from various sections of the area. A group of ratepayers in the east part of the township still wish to be re- leased so they may join an agreement with the Hensall Public School. Through a petition which was circulated Iast week in Zurich, the village people have indi- At their regular meeting last Wednesday afternoon, the Hay School Area board instructed Bell & Laughton to search titles of all remaining rural section lands, to make it possible for the board to sell whatever sites they may wish when the time comes. In other business the board granted permission to school principal Donald O'Brien to ob- tain the services of a supply teacher when he deems it nec- essary to inspect and supervise the work of the teachers. Instructions were given to Gingerich's, Zurich, to install the correct vales on the hot water heating system at No. 7 school, and to check the burner.

Most of the ratepayers in Zurich favour the use of the present school, with or without an addition. A group of ratepayers have been advised, from reliable sources, that it will be prac- tically impossible to proceed with a new school before an- other vote on the matter is held, If both councils, Hay and Zur- ich, along with the school board, should decide to go ahead with the new project, they would he subject to court action, due to the vote which was held last fall being disregarded. The Hensall school board is still negotiating with Tucker - smith for the release of three sections from the area to join an agreement with Hensall. No definite decision has been reached in this matter. Grand Bend Cha 7$ ber of Co merce Hears Opti ristic Progress Report Grand Bend—"I think Grand tain also predicted that a "busi- ness boom" in the area is im- minent. Howard Aitken, Goderich, re- presenting the Mid -Western On- tario Development Association, briefly pointed out the help that organization could be to the village, in making approaches to senior levels of government. He also pointed out the success of the Goderich Air Port, now pri- vately owned, and doing well with affiliated services employ- ing a number of people. Bend can expect a seven per cent increase in business each year," predicted Glen Grindlay, vice-president of the village Chamber of Commerce at the general members meeting held in the Colonial Hotel here on Monday night. Basing h i s prediction on figures and projected estimates obtained from the Ontario De- partment of Travel and Public- ity, Mr. Grindlay suggested that "maybe in ten years you can expect to double your business —and hire more people to help you run it. Speaking to a rather small group of village business people, Mr. Grindlay noted that the On- tario Government expects that $375 millions will be spent by tourists coming into the prov- ince this year. This is an in- crease from $350 millions spent in 1963. The small group was due to a number of business people still away on winter holidays; others in the city of Toronto on business and some otherwise staunch supporters of the Cham- ber who are in ill health. Rev. Clinton A. Brittain, presi- dent of the Chamber asked that thought be given to an over-all planning board for the village, suggesting work on the water system; better parking facili- ties; development of new indus- try (possibly at the Air Port site); parks for family picnics; services of the Lambton County Health Unit; possibly a conva- lescent home in the village; and a house numbering project as important items to be con- sidered. A committee to look into ways and means of carrying out a house -numbering project is pres- ently being appointed by the president on request of the Mon- day night's meeting. Mr. Brit - The Hensall-Zurich Combines and the Glencoe Pontiacs open- ed their best -of -seven semi- final series in the Shamrock Junior D League last night in Hensall. Tonight (Thursday), the two teams play back in Glencoe, and then on Saturday night they return to the Hensall Arena for the third game. Next week on Tuesday the two teams return to Glencoe for the fourth game of the series, and a fifth game, if needed, will be played back in Hensall on Friday night, March 6. Sixth and seventh games, if needed, will be both' played in GIencoe., at dates to be set later. Meanwhile, Strathroy a n d Watford are meeting in the other round of the semi-final series. The winner of this series will play the winner of the Com- bines -Glencoe series in the final round for the league champion- ship and the right to advance into the Ontario finals, The Combines finished the season in first place, with 26 wins, three losses, and one tie. Two of their three losses were' to Strathroy, while the other loss and the tie were at the hands of the Glencoe Pontiacs. Still another committee of the Chamber of Commerce has com- menced work on selecting possi- ble sites for additional parking areas for the summer season. The thought as put forward by Mr. Grindlay is that on week- ends the extra cars shoula be directed to supervised lots, so as to make the best possible use of all space when it is needed most. William A. Sturdevant, a former reeve of the village, and one of the Chamber delegates to the hearing in Ottawa given by the Department of Public Works, reported on the trip. He commented that it was a council project, on which the Chamber of Commerce assisted. He stated that since very little engineering data is available on sand drift, scale models have been tested at Queen's Univer- sity on this problem, not only for Grand Bend, but for some spots on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Mr. Sturdevant stated that when the engineers think they have a solution, they will esti- mate the cost, and after an eco- nomic survey of the area, will: turn their information over to the treasury department. If the benefits warrant the cost, then the project will be proceeded with.
