The Blue Water Rest Horne
being a new home and now
open six months, I am sure
many people have questions
concering the Home. There-
fore, if any readers have ques-
tions, out then in a letter and
I will answer them through this
column.• If you would care to

your letter along under a pen

Your questions will be printed
here along with my reply. Do
not hesitate to write. I look
forward to hearing from you at
any time.
We are now on the way to
having a full house. Many peo-
ple have been making applica-
tions of late. As I see the resi-
dents each day, the thought
goes through my mind as to
how many different occupations
our residents have taken part
in during their life to date. In
future columns I am going to
record the thoughts and remem-
brances of any residents who
would care to be reminiscent
with me.

This week I chatted with
Chester Smith, who lived in
Zurich before coming to the
Horne. Here is the first thoughts
in the new section of this col-
umn, "The Memory Basket":
Chester Smith was in the
printing and publishing busi-
ness in Zurich for 45 years. The
Zurich paper now operates un-
der the name of the Zurich Citi-
zens News, but up until Chester
a
sold the rights of the paper, it
was published weekly under the
1 name of the Zurich Herald.
Chester recalls that when he
first took over the paper, it .cost
$1.00 per year for a subscrip-
tion, and the year he sold the
paper it was costing only $2.50
per year. Mr. Smith, after he
came to Zurich, apprenticed un-
der Mr. Andrew F. Hess in the
same newspaper that Chester
was later to .own,
It is interesting to note that
Mr. Smith had the first Baso-
, line engine in Zurich. The en-
gine was made in •Hensall and
was used to operate the print-
ing press. In looking back over
the various items Chester had
to print in his business, he re-
calls that the happiest item he
ever printed was the special
booklet on the 100 years of
Zurich, which was compiled by
Albert Kalbfleisch. The saddest
items he had to print were the
names of those who lost their

lives in the two World Wars.
Locally the saddest items
were about two fires that hap-
pened in the village of Zurich
on two different no One
was 'the fire on the present
Bank of Mtheontreal site. Chester
states that the fire there de-
stroyed old Ba
real and a type of depnk aofrkmenlMont-
store adjoining. The second
fire was in the bake shop which
destroyed several adjoining
stores.
The hardest items Mr. Smith
had to print about were the de-
pression stories. The fastest
item he printed was on one oc-
casion when auction sale bills
were brought .in to him on a
Monday evening and they were
out and at the sale by Tuesday
noon. The sale, as a matter
of interest, vas the Carling
estate in Exeter.
One of the many personal
items of printers was a green
eye protector shield which was
worn by all printers on the
forehead over the eyes. This
shield was to protect the eyes
from the brightness of electric-
ity which had come into being.
As Chester goes to his dresser
drawer and takes out his green
eye protector shield, he is re-
minded of how valuable this
item had been for him, and the
many happy and pleasant mem-
ories that he cherishes from his
printing business. I know,
Chester, that the citizens of
Zurich say 'thank you' for a
job well done, and the pleasant
and happy memories of the
former Zurich Herald.
