Bouquets to Zurich
The eit zeas of Zurich and the sur-
munding area deserve a great deal of
credit for the success of the Centennial
Fall Fair proceedings of the past few days.
Never in the history of Zurich was there
ever a fair like this one.
Whoever was on the committee in
charge of weather dict a bang-up job. A
blue and white sky covered Fair Day with
a blanket of sunshine and crisp fall weath-
er. Not one drop of rail fell to mar the
event
The plea of Village Reeve Milton Oesch
slid not fall on deaf ears. Many stores
and homes displayed flags and decorations
to give Zurich streets a festive appearance,
which would tell every passing stranger
that something was about to happen in this
village.
Every entry and float in the parade
told the world of the pride felt by resi-
dents here. Each was a colorful tribute
to the years and years of struggle and per-
sistence that come before a Centennial year
can be attained.
Exhibitors at the fair seemed to in-
clude that added bit of effort with every
item for showing, No amount of time or
talent was spared, for it seemed that all
entries were given special attention and
careful scrutiny to insure maximum quality.
The displays of antiquated items from
the smallest dish to the largest "Puffer"
were placed with loving care and expense
in order to keep the centennial theme up-
permost in the minds of the spectators.
Even the children seemed to get into
the spirit of things. It appeared that each
little marcher, craftsman, exhibitor and
rider was puting every ounce of his or her
strength into the task at hand.
But the crowning glory to the day was
the enthusiasm of the crowd. Their appre-
ciation for a job well. done was all that
was asked by those participating in the
event and they gave it. It was seen on
their faces, heard in their laughter, felt in
their presence.
For those responsible for the admin-
istration, the reward was deemed ample.
For exhibitors, the results were thought
sufficient. For the spectators, it was
known to be a day well spent at Zurich's
Centennial Fall Fair.
Bad Light for Canadians
It is a sad thing indeed when persons
grow so filled with self-pity and hatred for
their fellowman that they would ponder
the assassination of the Queen.
We would not be so unfair as to place
the blame on any one race or any one
province for all of us are equally guilty
of this plot. Each and every Canadian is
responsible for the actions of a few.
Democracy is precious. Men and
women have died to gain it and their an-
cestors have paid the supreme price to
keep it. Why are we, the recipients of a
gift so dearly purchased, careless and un-
concerned about its use?
Yes, we are careless. We toy with
the workings of justice, the duties of gov-
ernment, the right to vote. We decline
the opportunities to serve, to speak, yes,
even to think.
And we are unconcerned. We are
content to be disatisfied, disgusted and
disillusioned. Too much effort and too
great a risk of public opinion is required
to be otherwise.
From this attitude has risen the terri-
fying situation we have today. People,
bent on their own problems are pitted
against people wrapped in their own per-
sonal worries. Very little thought is given
to the other fellow, for we are a nation
of self --righteous, seuf-contained and self-
centred people.
The hideous assassination of President
Kennedy is a sober warning that people
will stoop to the lowest of crimes if they
are sufficiently convinced of their un-
heeded plight.
From My Window
By Shirley Keller
The 31st of this month will
again mark All Saints' Eve, or
Hallowe'en ,as we know it. It
used to be a one -day affair, but
thanks to the new fashions for
Milady, this year we will have
Hallowe'en complete with cos-
tumes the year around.
The question is often asked
whether women dress to please
their husbands or other women,
I would like to ask whether the
designers are planning clothes
for respectable women and
mothers, or space monsters,
Have you seen pictures of
some of the newest creations
for the 1964-65 winter? Let me
describe some of them for you.
One outfit designed with the
mountain climbing women in
mind is tops on the list of sev-
eral zany costumes for the well
dressed women. Since every
woman has loads of time and
opportunity to go mountain
climbing, this is one outfit you
must have in your closet. It
consists of a skin tight pair of
pants and a sweater, topped
with a free flowing, bulky cum-
bersome jacket. I would sup-
pose that in order to clamber
over rocks and ledges, the tight
pants and sweater are ideal, but
any average woman would be
out of breath after the first lap
if she had to carry that weighty
jacket to the top of a friendly
mountain. To this is added a
satin jockey cap pulled down
wellover the eyes and a face
mask, attached to the sweater
and worn high over the nose.
The result is a weird, spooky
appearance derived from the
stark stare of two beady eyes
peering from a faceless body.
For street wear, nothing is so
lovely as the new knicker suits.
The jackets of these ensembles
are fairly respectable, thank
goodness. But the lower part
of the anatomy is covered with
the wildest set of drawers you
ever did see. The legs, knee
length, are cut full and remind
me of two balloons with the air
half gone. With this, you would
don a pair of stockings which
would make Dad's argyle socks
look tame. These socks make
a women's Iegs look like a pair
of totem poles carved for a war
dance. Accessories are a bit
floppy, hat to cover your em -
harassed face and plenty of
bulky jewellery in an attempt
to keep the attention on the
upper part of your body.
For evening, "in vogue" will
wear a tight, shape clinging
shell. The floor -length strang-
ler is fine providing you don't
have to sit, walk, eat or breath.
Attention will be drawn to you,
and you alone, for the collar
on the dress curves upward to
the eye brows. A triangular
stole worn over the head adds
that touch of mystery. Warn-
ing: don't stretch the arms out-
ward. It gives the appearance
of a vampire bat ready to at-
tack.
The thing that really amazes
is that these styles are for real.
Women will actually buy them
andwear them as if the girls
were in their right minds. It
Canadian First
At Pinery, Shipka
The executive committee of
the Drive -In Gospel Services
are proud to have completed
their fifth season of presenting
Christ to the area in a way not
duplicated elsewhere.
The executive is comprised of
Harry Hoffman, chairman; E.
Cudmore, vice-chairman; R. S.
Hiltz, secretary, and Alvin Fink-
beiner, terasurer.
This year, after all expenses
had been paid, the committee
was able to vote $25 to the Bible
Society, Gideons and London
Rescue Mission.
The group also sponsors the
Gospel films shown free of
charge each week at the Pinery
Provincial Park. It is believed
to be the only program of this
nature in Canada.

FIREMEN LOSE BATTLE—Attempts of the Zurich
Fire Brigade to save the barn on the farm of Cornelis
Degroot were in vain last Wednesday as the building was
reduced to a heap of smouldering rubble. Whipped by high
winds, the barn containing part of this year's crop, burned
quickly, Firemen did mange to save adjacent sheds on the
premises.

tition keen. Fair officials were
