Band concert
An outstanding concert of
band music was presented at
the Zurich Community Centre
on Sunday evening, by memb-
ers of the Zurich Centennial
Band, under the direction of
leader Charles Kalbfleisch.
All typed of tunes were pres-
ented from "Alley Cat" to
Christmas carols, and two of
the most popular were "Hogan's
Heroes" and Alley Cat. "
A feature of the program
was several selections from a
group of the members who call
BLYTH ONTAR!
themselves "The Little German
Band,!"
According to leader Charles
Kalbfleisch the band is always
accepting and looking for new
members, whether they are
experienced or not. Any persons
interested are asked to contact
Mr. Kalbfleisch himself, or
either Keith Westlake or Milford
Doerr in Zurich.
Last week the Zurich Cent-
ennial Band played for a Santa
Claus parade in Watford, and
during the next three weeks
they are scheduled to play for
similar events at Brussels, God-
erich and Exeter.

Fines for violators
Drivers using studs may be
subject to fines ranging from
$20 to $100.
Mr. McNab said the province
took the lead in banning studs
because research carried out in
Ontario on their effectiveness
and affects on highway damage
was more advanced than other
jurisdictions.
"That research, and addition-
al research conducted by the
Canada Safety Council --an
independent organization --dur-
ing the past two winters support-
ed earlier findings that studs
offered only marginal aid in
winter driving where icy road
conditions existed, " he said.
"The tremendous amount of
research that has gone into the
matter leads safety experts to
believe that in a great many
instances drivers using studded
tires were operating under a
false sense of security."
Regular snow tiers and the
use of steel tire chains, where
necessary, are not affected by
the ban.
The increasing use of studs
was found to be wearing off the
skid-resistence texture of pav-
ed surfaces, creating extensive
ruts and prematurely obliterat-
ing the white driving lane guide
lines, said Mr. McNab.
"The combination of these
results was causing a general
hazardous driving condition
that could affect all motorists, "
he added.
He pointed out that the State
of Minnesota also has banned
the use of studs this winter and
a ban has been imposed in the
State of Utah, to take effect
next April.
Legislation is now going
through in Michigan to impose
a ban starting in 1973 and other
jurisdictions, including the
Province of Quebec, are closely
examining their situation resp-
ecting legislation , said Mr.
McNab.
ARDA assistance
creates jobs
hi Ontario
Plans for a forest stand imp-
rovement project on crown
land, which will create empl-
oyment for some 700 rural
people in south-central and
northern Ontario, have been
announced by the Hon. William
Stewart, Ontario Minister of
Agriculture and Food, and the
Hon Jean Marchand, Canada
Minister of Regional Economic
Expansion.
The five-month project,
supervised by field staff of the
Ontario Department of Lands
and Forests, has already begun
and is employing rural people
for planting trees, forest stand
improvement, and general
development of the land for
forestry and recreation purposes.
The project will concentrate
on crown land most suitable
for the increased production of
forestry, wildlife, and recreat-
ional facilities that will gener-
ate more employment opport-
unities in these rural areas.
The land for the project has
been acquired by the ARRA
Directorate of Ontario.
The cost of this project will
be shared equally by the federal
and provincial governments
under the terms of the 1970-75
Agricultural Rehabilitation Dev-
elopment Agreement.
