Zurich Citizens News, 1964-10-01, Page 2PAGE TWO ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1964 I�R amoteod O 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. 0 Bowling Scores SR.

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.
