In ether words, good intentions are net enough, we must back them with stet -n or they :ire a lost cause and cont for nothing. One philosopher 0served that there was nothing w F with building castles in the air, providing we were prepared to p.., foundations under them. In every community there are many people with wonderful ideas wh:eh are never implemented or bre .tight to fruition. It is a shame that these ideas are not brought to life n the form of tangible projects, but that is part of our way of life today. The big question is why aren't these suggestions ever fol- :01,etd through? There are two pos- sible answers to the question. Many people have good ideas and mak e wonderful suggestions but they aways want someone else to put them into effect. They are not pre- pared to work on them and develop them themselves. They give ideas te governments, churches, service ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1967 allar chubs and often just to other indi- viduals and ask them to do some- thing about it but they are not will- ing to assume the responsibility and effort required to do something about it themselves. Then they com- plain if those asked do nothing about it. Some people with good ideas which they cannot carry through them- selves are unable to "sell" their ideas to those who could put them into effect. After making the suggestion s the once, if it did not meet approval, idea was dropped and nothing but complaining was done afterwards. Our community and our country could be better places in which to live if every good idea or suggestion was worked on by those who dreamed them up until something was pro- duced as a result of the suggestion. Let those who have good ideas keep working on them until they become monuments to the memory of that person instead of a lost cause in the history of the community. --(Nanton (Alta.) News) Time To Crack Down The publicity given to auto safety in the past few years has been tre- mendous. New safety features have become mandatory on all models and still others will be coming next year. We hear of automobile firms recall- ing tars, sometimes by the thou- sands, because of some defect which they may possibly have. With ith all of this we can still pick up our newspapers and read that mere people than ever are being killed or mained in traffic accidents. If the cars have become safer, the drivers in control of them apparently have not. It is undoubtedly true that mechanical defects account for a percentage of traffic accidents. But it is a small percentage. The main cause, as it has always been, is the person behind the wheel. For some drivers the only safe car is locked and in a garage. There is only one way to reduce the tragic toll on the roads and it is an obvious one. The court must begin to crack down hard on all traffic of- fenders. The time has come to met- ing out minor fines and basing a driver's performance on a system of demerit points which is far too leni- ent. It is time to start removing the menaces -behind the wheels from the road. The only way to reduce the hazards of driving on our trowel- ed roads is to eliminate the people who create them. The courts should suspend the driving privileges of all persons con- victed of traffic offences, with the suspensions varying according to the degree of seriousness of the offence. Even a single week's suspension of a licence is far more likely to make a driver aware of his responsibilities than a fine which can be paid and quickly forgotten. And there should be no room in a traffic court for the sob story which so often gets a sym- pathetic ear: that the offender de- pends on his driver's licence for his living. Such a person has a special responsibility to adhere to the rules and regulations of the road. There will never be safe cars with- out safe drivers. Let's keep improv- ing on the mechanical product by all means, but let's also get down to the real nub of the problem. Drivers who are unable to accept their re- sponsibilities to others when they get behind the wheel should be taken off from the roads. Too many of them are literally getting away with murder.—(Elmira Signet) (Jervis Studio) Marled rrled in Lutheran Church TAYLOR—THIEL White garden daisies, gladioli and lighted candelabra formed the setting for a double -ring ceremony, in which Eunice Helen Thiel and Douglas Hart- ley Taylor exchanged wedding vows on August 5, 1967, in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Zur- ich. Rev. Andrew Blackwell officiated and Rev. Paul Fischer of Waterloo assisted in the ceremony. The bride is the daughter •of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Thiel, Zurich, and the groom is the son of Mrs. Harvey Taylor, Brucefield, and the late Mr. Taylor. Given in marriage by her fa- ther, the bride chose a floor - length gown styled with an em- pire waist which was accented with appliqued alencon lace. The gown„ `of peau glo, covered with crystal organza, had long lily -point sleeves and was high- lighted by a long, flowing train of crystal organza falling from the waist and held by matching alencon lace. Her shoulder - length French illusion veil was crowned by a pearl and petal headpiece and she carried a cascade of white cymbidium orchids, stephanotis and trail- ing varigated ivy. Matron of honor, Mrs. Will Coeck, Dashwood, wore a floor - length gown of pale mint green, similar in style to the bride's gown, but with a floor -length train of crystal organza. Her headpiece was a mint green wedding ring with an •organza rose at the back, which was veiled 11 g h t 1 y. Bridesmaids were Miss Nancy Lannin, of Dublin, friend of the bride, and Mrs. Mary Lou Driscoll, of Walton, sister of the groom. Bridesmaids were attired simil- arly to the matron of honor. They carried a cascade of white garden daisies and trailing ivy. The flower girl, Miss Shelley From My ►' indow The day my husband suggest- ed that we go camping on our holidays this year was the day I was Finally convinced that he was a candidate for the peculiar palace. I — the woman who cursed picnics and similar out- ings—would not be enticed into a seven-day stint in a .na- ture -infested park somewhere in the middle of a patch of abandoned acres. And I wasn't either. Our camping outing lasted for only three days and nights, and be- lieve it •cr not, I was the one who hated to leave. By Shirley Keller were carried on gentle breezes to the utter ends of the earth, so it seemed, with no one to be too badly disturbed but the birds and the bees who didn't care anyway. Unless you have experienced it yourself, you will not under- stand how pleasant •camping can be. I found it is the perfect life for a lazy, care - Jess, sloppy individual like me. As one fellow -camper told me, "You Esther like it, or you don't". I did. You wake up in the morning as usual. with the kids holler- ing and the baby crying. But the noise isn't trapped within the plastered walls of a house. The screams of our offspring The beds were made by easi- ly straightening the bed rolls. Kids were dressed in anything handy. Breakfast could be early or late—big or litle. No- body cared because there was nothing special to do and all the time in the world to do it. Dishes were the only headache but even that chore was more bearable with the warm sun on your back and the tune of a song sparrow in your ears. Daytime hours were endless with all kinds of opportunity to sit or lean or totally recline. Think as hard as you would, there were no household duties to perform. Except for umpir- ing the occasional spat between the older children and retriev- ing the baby from the edge of the stream, there was absolute- ly nothing for mother to do but relax and be thankful. - Meal time was a joy. Food was prepared simply and the family ate like hungry bears. Not once did I hear the com- plaint, "I don't like this". If the youngest eater cared to throw his dinner down, it was a reward for the woodsy crea- tures who lived silently and secretly beneath our table. Evenings were long and peaceful. Little eyelids droop- ed early at our campsite as a day of exploring and discovery ended round a sleepy, restful fire. With the kids off to bed in a cosy trailer filled with fresh air, there was lots of time left for mom and dad to sit under the stars and talk while the logs burned slowly down- ward and the smoke curled dreamily upward. There was no television to in- terupt conversation. No tele- phone or doorbells to beckon. Few neighbors to watch. No traffic to fight. No customers to please. No company to en- tertain. With not one single attachment to the worl around, our family was suspended for a while in a place where temp- ers were even, smiles replaced frowns and contentment reigned, You bet. We've been bitten by the camping bug and winter- time this year will he a period of getting ready for next sum- mer's longer holiday in the woods. No wonder Captain John Smith chose life with an Indian princess to ruling a house anywhere else. "meal 8 PRINTED BY SOUTH HURON PUBLISHERS MUTED, ZURICH 'HERB TURKHEIM, Publisher J E.
