welcome visitors
ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS
The residents of the village of
Zurich extend a welcome to you
when you attend the sixth annual
Bean Festival, and hope your
visit to the community will re-
main in your memories for years
to come.
Zurich was first organized in
1856 by a Swiss, named Frederick
Knell. Shortly after this a post
office was opened and later a
store, a grist mill and a saw mill,
Mr. Knell became active in the
early life of Zurich and served
four years as reeve of Ilay Town-
ship. His wife taught the first
school in the area,
Within ten years of its founding,
Zurich acquired a population of
300 people. Today the population
of the village is about 750. After
25 years of existence the com-
munity had a daily mail service
to and from Ilensall, as well as
its own telegraph service. It was
the largest settlement in Hay
Township.
in 1956 Zurich celebrated it's
centennial, and an old boy's
reunion was held for four days,
to mark the event. Thousands of
former residents visited their old
home town during this celebration
All this time Zurich was a
police village, in the Township
of Hay. In 1959 the village trustee
decided it was time to incorpor-
ate Zurich as a village, and the
official incorporation began in
January of 1960. The village now
has a reeve and four councillors
while previously governed by a
three-man police village trustee
board, under the jurisdiction of
Hay Township.
When you visit the village
during the Bean Festival, talk to
some of the older residents, and
ask them about the interesting
history of the community, where
most of the residents are of Ger-
man or French descent.
Seaforth Sisters move to:IZ uri ch
St. Joseph's Convent, Seaforth
which has been in existance for
nearly 60 years is being closed.
The Convent at the comer of
Gouinlock and Chalk Streets
was brought into use at the beg-
inning of 1913. The building is
being rented as a private dwelling
Reference to the closing was
contained in a report of a meet
ing of the Board of Advisors of
St. James Parish, Seaforth,
The report indicated that as
of September the Sisters from
Dashwood and
district
The Altar Guild for Zion
Lutheran church is Mrs. Frieda
Keller. and Mrs. Earl Keller.
Mr. and Mrs. E, R, Guenther
have returned home following
a World Seminar Tour. They
were gone six weeks, 25 times
in the air, and 66 hours. All
the places visited would be too
numerous to mention, however,
some were San Francisco, Haw-
aii, Japan, Taiwan, where
they visited the orphanage and
met Mrs. Lilian Disckson, whose
literature the UCW of Calvary
United Church studies. India,
where the poverty is so extreme.
They also had an interview with
Madam Gandhi, who was most
gracious. They also visited
Russia, Copenhagen, Sweden,
and London, England where they
boarded the plane for New York.
Engine trouble forced them back
and they were able to visit Ire-
land, then by Air Canada to
Toronto and home. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Guenther had a most inf-
ormative and long to be rememb-
ered trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Burke and
Susan, Brampton, spent the week-
end with Milt Haugh.

Seaforth would have a change
of convent address. The Convent
in Seaforth is closing and the
Sisters will be living in Zurich
and commuting. In explaining
the future parish involvement,
it was explained that the Sisters
wished to give the same dedic-
ation as at present and would
continue in the Parish activities
as at present.
"The merging of these houses
is to better build their religious
community life and to radiate
Christ better in their work, "
the report stated.
"The community has experienc
ed a shortage of Sisters in the
past few years and this has reach-
ed us in the closing of our
School of Music last year, makink
the central house more of a
necessity."
In making the announcement
to the Community of the Sisters
of St. Joseph, Mother Julia, the
Superior General.ntade the foll-
owing observation, "In any move
of this kind there are bound to
be a few heart -aches. The
people of Seaforth (our home
since 1913) *have been our great
supporters over the years and in
many ways it will be difficult to
think of not having a Convent
there. Yet, as this has not been
without prayer and consultation,
we hope that God will continue
to bless those who may find our
leaving a hardship."
Commenting on the announce-
ment, Father 11,J. Laragh, the
Parish Priest, said: "This is in-
deed a sad announcement. If
you wish to show your care, your
concern or your appreciation, I
know it will be received with
consideration by all the Sisters. "
"We thank them all for their
love, dedication and all the
work they have done for us. We
recall now with fondness the
tender love they showed for over
fifty-eight years they lives as
truly noble and dedicated women
a quiet but gentle influence on
the lives of all who have lived
here in Seaforth."

"We thank them for all this
and sadly bid them farewell as
residents of our Town, "
The Board of Advisors for the
Parish Council of St. James
Parish took recognition of the
decision to close the convent
when it adopted a motion by John
Flannery and Art Devereaux that
the Board of Advisors of St.
James Parish regret the decision
of the Sisters of St. Joseph to
close the Convent in Seaforth
but on behalf of the Parish wish
to thank the Sisters for their
good service over the years.
