From the left, Don O'Brien and Bill O'Brien, both of Zurich, and Bill Smith and Ivan Hearn, Lucan, are seen here after the rough, tough game which saw Lucan de- feat Zurich 10-4. Judging from the smiles, we'd say the boys had as much fun as the spectators. Peter Large, of the Centen- nial Commission, was the spe- cial guest speaker at the turkey banquet preceeding the official opening night ceremonies on Friday, December 1, at the new- ly renovated Zurich Commun- ity Centre and A. C. "Babe" Siebert Memorial Arena. R, E. McKinley. MP for Hur- on, introduced the guest who was thanked by Zurich Reeve Leroy Thiel. Provincial treasurer Hon, Charles S. MaeNaughton spoke briefly at the dinner giving praise to Zurich and area folks who had the initiative and the v therather drive to see huge project through, Another speaker was Frank Siebert, •a brother of the late Babe Siebert for whom the arena was named. Mr. Siebert thanked the committee for the fine tribute paid to The Flying Dutchman, a former member of the Montreal Canadiens hockey club.

C. "Babe" Siebert Memorial Arena last Friday evening with his figure skating program. The youngster was appearing in Zurich through the courtesy of the Hamilton Figure Skating Club, and thrilled the crowd on hand with his dazzling spins and twirls, smooth leaps and jumps. Performing in two well- planned solonumbers, Ronnie used the entire ice surface and many intricate manoeuvers to draw the applause and standing approval of the spectators. Also appearing on the pro- gram were Pauline and Troy- ann Bell, of Hensall, who added color and grace to the sparkling program. The girls contributed three solo numbers as well as a delightful skating duet, in costumes of stunning red velvet Rec League Begins Play Tonite With Two Big , aces (By Shane McKinnon) The action will be hot tonight when the Zurich Rec League goes into full swing with the Hensall team taking on the Zurich Braves at 7 p.m., and the Dashwood Bears meeting the Zurich Kings at 9 p.m. The teams of the league have been practicing regularly and they are starting to show great interest in it.

Reeve's salary is to be $250 plus $125 for expenses. Coun- cillors are to get $200 plus $100 expenses, and no allowance for special meetings. The clerk is to receive an additional $4.00 for special meetings. These salaries are retroactive to Jan- uary 1, 1967. Clarence Reid will again plow Hensall streets in his spare time, but he has an agreement with the county which will be honored first. Miss Agnes Cochrane was granted a building permit to renovate her house. Since false fire alarms cost the twon $80 each, Bell Tele- phone have been notified that Hensall is having too many, and these are the fault of the com- pany.

Zurich. Even though Zurich lost by a score of 10-4 to the rough, tough Luean squad, a crowd of appreciative hockey fans en- joyed every hard fought mo- ment of the gamo bringing back fond memories from the past, Liniment and heating pads may have been necessary on Satur- day, but during the match each all-star player of the early and mid-1950s was raring to go .. . and go they did. When the game began, Lucan warned it would play under hand for the contest, At about the three-quarter mark of the final period when it was evi- dent that Lucan would win by a comfortable margin, the Irish management lifted the protest and issued a challenge to the Zurich Old -Timers for a return game to be played in Lucan. As the last whistle of the game blew, there was no re- sponse from the Zurich bench -with the exception of a few grunts and a groan as tired bones made tor the dressing rooms.
