MAIN ENTRANCE — The glass
doors in the new section of building
at the east side of the Zurich Arena
will now serve as the main entrance
for the arena proper, or the dressing
rooms. A wide sidewalk has been
been built from the street to the
building, for the accommodation of
persons using the arena. The main
entrance for the auditorium remains
in the same place as before, at the
southeast corner of the building.
EQUIPMENT BUILDING — This
is the building which houses the
equipment that will provide refriger-
ation for the new artificial ice instal-
lation in the Zurich Arena. Officials
had hoped to have the plant in oper-
ation early this week, but due to mo-
tor trouble the plans were held up
for a few days. The ice company hope
to have the equipment in operation by
this week -end, however, and report
that it will only take a few days to
make ice once the plant starts up.
With any luck there still could be
skating by the week -end.

County Planning
Will Come Up For
Further Discussion
(By R. S. Atkey)
Following a lengthy discus-
sion, Huron County council, in
the Court House at Goderich
Tuesday afternoon, decided to
continue the study of the need
of county planning "in order
that the -committee in charge
might place before county coun-
cil early in 1968, such recom-
mendations as are deemed ad-
visable".
It will be recalled that the
matter of county planning was
placed before Huron County
council at the October session
when a report by Dryden and
Smith, planning consultants of
Kitchener, was placed before
council, with recommendations.
This preliminary report called
"appraisal for a planning pro-
gram" for the County of Hur-
on", had been procured at a
cost of $550.
Subsequently, a meeting was
held in the Court House, Goder-
ich on October 18, when the
matter was further discussed
by some members of county
council.
Calvin Kr a u t e r, Brussels,
chairman of the industrial and
tourism committee, called the
meeting which was attended by
E, A. Gomme, head of the ad-
ministration division, commun-
ity planning branch, Ontario
Department of Municipal Af-
fairs, and D. R. Snider, chair-
man of the Waterloo Planning
Board,
Mr. Gomme was present at
Tuesday's session and answered
many questions from council
members, many of whom ex-
pressed themselves in favor of
the principle of county plan-
ning.
This program appears to be
one of the major projects to
he
council consideredin1968by. Huron County
Registration Open
For Minor Hockey
While registration day for
the Zurich Minor Athletic Asso-
eiation hockey teams took place
last week, there are still a few

Officials of the MAA point out
that no boy will be allowed to
play until his form has been
filled out and signed by a par-
ent or guardian,
Any boys still wishing to reg-
ister may obtain the necessary
form by contacting Doug
O'Brien.
Practices for minor hockey
teams will begin in the next
week or 10 days,

County Library
System Working
Well in Huron
(By R. S. Atkey)
One of the main problems
in connection with the new
Huron County library service
Inas been the .supplying of books
to the various libraries, in par-
ticular, the larger libraries lo-
cated in the towns, Duff Thom-
son, Clinton, chairman of the
County Library Board, told the
members of Huron County
council at their November ses-
sion last Monday.
In order to alleviate this sit -
nation, special permission was
given to permit these larger
libraries to buy books directly,
if they so desired, he said.
"In the meantime, however,
a purchase -order system has
been installed whereby each
library requisitions books re-
quired and these are ordered
directly from the publisher by
the county library staff," the
chairman said. "This system
works as well as ,long as the
books are available."
He stated that at the last
board meeting, the county li-
brarian pointed out that al-
though the orders as requested
by the local libraries had been
submited to the publishers,
there were in excess of two
dozen back orders indicating

of stock or had not been pub-
