Plans Under Way For Opening and Dedication of Zurich's Arena Project The date for the official opening and dedication of the Zurich Arena and Community Centre has been set for Friday, December 1. By this time the building committee feel quite sure the entire project will be completed. At a meeting of the village Council last week, a committee was appointed to arrange for the big •opening event. The committee consists of Herb Turkheim, chairman; Dr. W. B. Colon, Gordon Hess, all repre- senting the council; Mrs. Isabel Gascho, representing the cen- tennial committee, and Donald L. O'Brien, representing the Zurich Recreation Committee. A meeting of the committee will be head in the very near future to map out detailed plans for the event. Since the in- stallation of •artificial ice in the arena was set out as •a Centen- nial project for the village, council have decided that rep- resentatives of both the provin- cial and federal governments, who are contributing funds, should be on hand for the dedi- cation ceremony, Other probable activities to mark the event are a smorgas- bord supper, an .old-timers hoc- key game, and an exhibition hockey game between two top - calibre teams. Representatives of several professional hockey clubs are also expected to be on hand. The entire program will conclude with a dance in the Community Centre. More detailed plans for the official opening and dedieation will be lannounecd as soon as arrangements can be worked out. If any citizens of the com- munity have suggestions which might be beneficial to the event, they might pass them on to one of the committee mem- bers. 0 Crop Report Harvesting of grain corn is progressing in spite of "soggy" field conditions. Yields appear average with a higher than normal moisture content at present. A large acreage of fall plow- ing remains to be completed. The sugar beet and turnip harv- est continues. Western feeder cattle are be- ginning to arrive in the county in large number. Some herds of dairy cattle are being stabled for the ap- proaching winter season. Renew Cam Taiga For Arena Funds In an attempt to raise still more funds for the Zurich Arena and Community Centre building fund, the Zurich Minor Athletic Association is appeal- ing to people of the area to make further donations to the project. Some time ago the organiza- tion conducted a campaign throughout the village and the rural area surrounding Zurich, and the response was most gratifying. However, •at that time a number of people made pledges towards the campaign, and at this time the MAA is most anxious to see that these pledges fulfilled. At the same time, the can- vassers pointed out that some people had told them they would make a donation when the project commenced. Now that the job is almost complet- ed, they would appreciate any donations from these people as well. Some people in the rural area have reported they were never called on for a donation, and MAA officials point out that this probably happened by someone being away at the time of the canvass. While no overall canvass of the area is planned for et the present time, the Minor Athletic Association are pointing out that they will sincerely appre- ciated any further donations to the project. Donations may be left et the Bank of Montreal in Zurich, or any persons . away from this area who might wish to send in a gift towards the project may send cheques or money orders, made payable to the "Zurich Arena Building Fund", to the Bank of Montreal, Zurich, 0— Only Exeter Area Bathers Up Prices Barbers in the Exeter area announced last week that prices of hair cuts would be raised, effective November 1. The new rate for men is $1,50, an in- crease of 25 cents over the old price. While the new rate affects the Exeter area barbers, those in Hensall, Dashwood and Zur- ich have declined to increase their prices at the present time. They will continue to charge only $1.25, the sane as usual. Under the new price sched- ule at Exeter, children under 12 will have to pay $1.25, while brush cuts will be $1.60. Quietest in History of Village olice Happy with Hallowe'en ecord of Zurich Area Youths "1 am quite happy and pleased with the youth of Zurich and area," Corporal C. J. Mitchell, head of the Exeter detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police, told the Citizens News on Wed- nesday morning following the quietest Hallowe'en in he his- tory of the community. And the corporal has just reasons to be happy with the youth of the Zurich area, as there was no noticeable dam- age or serious pranks played on anyone. Most of the store windows in the downtown area of Zurich even missed out on the usual soaping. In other sections of the area covered by the Exeter detach- ment, there were signs of some minor damage, but nothing really serious, the ,corporal said. "At Hensall there were gangs of youths milling around and throwing vegetables at cars and buildings," he said. Crediton was a bit worse, as youths attempted to disturb the hydro supply in the village. At Dashwood there were minor damages, but nothing to seri- ous. "However," the corporal add- Foa er Hensall Woman and Son Both Killed in Car Accident ,ear L: ndon A former Hensall area resi- dent, Mrs. Douglas Dailey, 23, of London, was killed last Fri- day night along with her 21 - month -old son, Steven Douglas, in a two -car crash on High- bury Avenue, north of the city. Mrs. Dailey was the former Dorothy Parker. Mr. and Mrs. Dailey were on their way to Hensall to visit her parents when the accident occurred at the junction of Highbury Avenue and seventh concession of London Township. Mr. Dailey, who was driver of the car, suffered head injuries in the crash, and was released from St. Joseph's Hospital the following day. Mrs. Dailey is survived by her husband; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Parker, Hen- sall; two brothers, George and Kenneth, Hensall; and two sis- ters, Miss Patsy Parker, at home, and Mrs. Douglas (Geral- dine) Wein, of Port Hawkes- bury, Nova Scotia, Funeral service for the moth- er and son was held Monday at the Bonthron funeral home, Hensall, at 2 p.m., with inter- ment in McTaggart Cemetery, Hensall.

Two sisters were admitted to South Huron Hospital, Exeter, Gail Richardson, RR 1, Zurich, with a fractured leg and head injuries, and her sister, Donna. has lacerations to her ear and facial cuts. The car, northbound, skidded on the highway owing to rain and snow and struck a tree wrapping itself around it. It took an hour to release the driver with tourches and a wrecker. OPP Dale Lamont of Exeter Detachment was the investigat- ing officer, ed, "we may not have hoard from all areas in our distrL'rt as yet." Locally, officials credit. the active part the youth of the community are taking in work at the Arena and Community Centre as a factor in their de- cision not to "go out" on Hal- lowe'en night. They feel that younger people in the commun- ity are now beginning to realize that the older generation is trying to do something for them in the way of recreation, and they should behave accordingly. To date, there have been dozens of young people from the community assisting in bees at the arena, working right along with older persons on the same project, showing the same interest. 0 RECEIVES BA DEGREE Miss Wanda Lawrence. •iaugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. William Lawrence, Zurich, received her Bachelor of Arts degree in ,A- ciology from the Waterloo..
