All work drawings and plans for the project are now complete, and as soon as the necessary agree- ments are signed, the OWRC will be in a position to call tenders for the project. The sewerage system in Zur- ich will be owned by the OWRC, and ratepayers will only be corn- pelled to pay yearly rates for the service. The exact amount of the rate has not yet been deter- mined. At the meeting last week, council received a letter from Exeter detachment of the O.P.

Anderson Road School at the University of Guelph from May 11 to 15. New System The Zurich Citizens News, with this issue, will be changing it's appearance considerably from the past years. Reason for the sudden change was the break- down of the newspaper press in the Zurich plant last Wednesday afternoon, just after the second run of the paper had been started, Completion of the issue had to be transferred to the plant of the Huron Expositor in Seaforth. With the lack of press fac- ilities in the local plant, the publishers had to do some quick planning to change the format and appearance of the Citizens News. Up to now, this weekly had been printed with the hot metal and flat-bed press system, For Printing Citizens News in our plant. This system had gone out the door in many week- ly plants over the past few years, but as long as our equipment was working satisfactorily we hesitat- ed to make the change -over to the new offset printing method for newspapers. From now on the Citizens News will be printed in a shop at Goderich, which specializes in press work for a least a dozen weekly newspapers in Western Ontario. At the same time, the reading matter in this newspaper will change from a "linotype Face" and this will cause con- siderable comment from many of our subscribers. It is understandable that there is a hesitancy to accept any change, whether it be a new car or the sante can of peas with a different label. This is human nature it seems. We hope that our subscribers will grow accustomed to our new appearance as present indic- ations would show it to be here to stay. We will attempt to give you a brief explanation of what happens in the new printing system which we are adapting. Firstly, we still cover news events and handle advertising in the same manner with the excep. tion: The advertiser used to use a cardboard "mat" which in (please turn to page 2) office periodically. This would enable the detachment to send officers on patrol through the area on a regular basis when something was going on. Council approved a new streetlight to be erected in front of the home of Gilbert Ducharme in the north-west section of the village. By-law number two, allowing for $8,000 on road maintenance in the village was given first, second and third reading, and passed at the meeting. Having received a written resignation from Jack Turkheim as arena manager, the council approved the hiring of Gordon Hay, on a part-time basis, to take care of the arena for the balance of the season. Hydro superintendent Douglas Armstrong is acting as supervisor of the arena and community centre, on a temporary basis. A request from the Zurich M. A. A. to purchase a trophy for a minor hockey team was turned down, as was another request, from the Chamber of Commerce, for a grant to carry on their work. Council pointed out that if the Chamber of Commerce needed financial assistance for some definite project in the future, they would be quite willing to reconsider 'their position. Two guests at the meeting Zurich Lions Club. Hear About Blind Lion Jack Clements, of Lon- don district field supervisor for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, was the guest spea- ker at the dinner meeting of the Zurich Lions Club last week. He was introduced by president Claire Geiger and thanked by Lion Ray McKinnon. The speaker told of the pre- sent conditions of blind people in Canada. He explained that the employment among blind people is very limited, and that the cost of living for a blind person is much higher than for the average sight- ed person. Lion Jack also told the mem- bers of the club that it was in 1951 that the federal government first recognized blind people when they established the Blind Persons Act. To qualify under this act, a blind person must have less than 1CP10 vision, he added. In business at the meeting, the club agreed to purchase a hockey trophy for the Zurich Minor Ath- letic Association.
