Hay Council Faced With Drain Problems Hay Township To Ask Dashwood to Protect Rest Home After meeting with a delega- tion from the board of manage- ment of Blue Water Rest Home at their regular meeting Tues- day night, the council of the Township of Hay appointed deputy -reeve Delbert Geiger to contact the Dashwood police village trustees to find out if they would answer fire calls to Blue Water Rest Dome. If the Dashwood trustees agree to protect the Rest Home, the Hay council want assurance to this effect in writing, so that it may be passed on to the Rest Home board of directors. Ade- quate fire protection for the Home is needed for insurance and mortgage purposes, and the directors must be able to prove they have this protection. The necessity for outside fire protection has been made nec- essary by the failure of the councils of the township and the village of Zurich, to reach any agreement on the issue. Prior to the cut-off of fire protection outside the limits of the village of Zurich, the Zur- ich fire department was sched- uled to accept fire calls at the Rest Home. Since the Home is located in Hay Township. the Zurich department can no long- er answer a call to the site. On Tuesday night the delega- tion from the Rest Home also met with the village council re- garding_fire protection, but no definite decision v,;,,ns reached. Zurich council p! cruised to come up with an answer at their regular meeting last night (Wednesday). 0 Another Work Bee At Arena Tonight There will be another work bee at the Zurich Arena to- night (Thursday) and as many volunteers as possible are urged to come out and help. Last week close to 50 people were on hand to help with num- erous jobs that had to be com- pleted, and another goodturn- out is asked for tonight. 0 Still Room For Booths at Festival There is still room for a number of booths or conces- sions at the big Bean Festival in Zurich on Saturday, August 26. To date there have been a number of requests for space, but officials indicate they can still handle more. What the committee is still looking for is individuals or groups who wish to sell home- made products, such as cheese, bread, pickles, honey ,summer sausage, hams, etc., along with any other items of produce such as potatoes, tomatoes, corn, etc. Any persons who are inter- ested in setting up such stands are asked to contact either Glen Weido or Claire Geiger, as soon as possible. 0 No Paper For Next Two Weeks There will be no issue of the Zurich Citizens News for the next two weeks, on August 10 or August 17. The plant is be- ing closed for the annual vaca- tion period. The next issue of the Citizens News will be in the mail on Thursday, August 24. A skeleton staff will be on duty during the two-week peri- od to take care of any custom printing which may be required. If you think there is something you might need in the two- week period, place your order now for sure delivery. Drains continue to be a real problem for Hay Township council, as they received four more petitions for drainage work at their regular meeting on Tuesday night. One petition was received from Delmar Miller, Willis Wal - per, Frank Dielman and Harold Hendrick, and this was accepted by council. Another came from Robert Rowcliffe, on concession 1,and still another came from Mrs. Patricia Cohen, on Lake Road West. The final drain- age petition was received from Andrew Dougall, Lloyd Camp- bell and Peter Bouersma, on concession 2. In each case the council have instructed engineer C. P. Cor- bett, of Lucan, to bring in a report as soon as possible. Clerk H. W. Brokenshire was instructed to contact N. B. Han- sen, the CNR engineer, to as- certain what decision was made by the secretary of the Board of Transport Com.missioners re- garding the raising of approach- es at the crossings on conces- sion 1. Apparently the council requested the CNR to provide authority on this matter some time ago, but to date have had no reply. Council agreed to ask L. H.

Also on the program will be the new Zurich Centennial Band, along with the Zurich Lions Majorettes. There will be bus and wagon tours of area farms to show in- terested persons how bean crops are handled; pony rides for the kids; checker and solo competitions.
