Home My WebLink AboutZurich Citizens News, 1973-12-06, Page 17THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1978 Agricultural tid bits (with Adrian Vos) It seems that there are differ- ent yardsticks for farmers and for urban people. Take the item I mentioned last week about the location of livestock build- ings. This does not apply to dwellings. No farmer can even dream of putting up a livestock building near a town or city. The town or city, however, find it quite normal to dump their smelly garbage in the country. At present two more townships are engaged in a fight to keep the city's pollution out of their ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE 17 backyard. Hope township in Durham county with the help of the local Federation of Agricult- ure and a one thousand citizen group called HOPE are fighting desperately in "hearings" cond- ucted by Ontario's government. The other municipality is Elgin County. With an energy crisis upon us, isn't it about time that some more money is made available to come up with a plant that recycles the garbage into meth- ane gas and fertilizer? It has been known for decades Golden Glimpses .. • . WT4R RIST;.HOM,E Christmas is just around the corner and on Thursday even- ing, December 6, we will be having the annual Christmas Party for our residents to which all their families are invited. We have most of our Christmas decorations up, but we, like the majority of surrounding towns cities and private homes are heeding the suggestions concern- ing the energy crisis and will be keeping our lights to a min- imum until closer to Christmas. Mrs. Meda O'Brien has kindly taken time to do some painting on our windows for which we are grateful. We also wish to thank Mrs. Melba Landstrom for the donation of a beautiful artificial Christmas tree. All these thoughtful gestures help to promote the Christmas Spirit. On Monday evening bingo was enjoyed followed by refresh- ments. On Tuesday evening a program was presented by the members of the Zurich Mennonite Church. Mrs. Cleve Gingerich and Mrs. Mahlon Martin sang several duets accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Irvin Martin. Musical num- bers were also rendered by little Miss Roxanne Martin, masters Dwayne, Darcy and Derek Martir. who delighted the residents. Community singing was also enjoyed. Following the program, refreshments were served. On Thursday afternoon Mr. Clayton Pfile, of Dashwood entertained the residents by playing tapes of the program presented by the Huronia Choir for the benefit of the Retarded Workshop in Dashwood. Films were shown on Thursday evening and refreshments served. Mrs. Norma Siebert has res- igned as Craft Room Supervisor for health reasons, but has prom- ised to come in whenever poss- ible to give us a helping hand. Mrs. Steven Gingerich is the new Craft Room Supervisor. On Sunday afternoon the Men- nonite Young People visited the Home and sang several numbers. Rev. J.E. Britton of Hensall was in charge of the Sunday evening chapel service. BANKING HOURS CHRISTMAS 1973 NEW YEARS 1974 During the Holiday Season the Bank of Montreal in Zurich will observe the following hours: OPEN MONDAY, DECEMBER' 24 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. CLOSED TUESDAY& WEDNESDAY,DEC. 25 & 26 OPEN MONDAY, DECEMBER 31 Normal Hours CLOSED TUESDAY, JANUARY 1 OPEN WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2 Normal Hours Bank of Montreal it Canada's First Bank ZURICH BRANCH that this is possible. The argu- ment is that this is not profit- able. One never hears if it red- uces the cost of disposal, and what about the quality of life of the people that live nearby? These are intangibles that • can't be expressed in money, so the computer leaves it out of the computation. Hamilton city has a system of partial recycling and it seems that they make some profit on it, so why not Toronto and London? Talking about recycling reminds me that more efforts are being made in the recycling of animal wastes through farm digestors. The University of Waterloo plans to build a meth- ane gas plant near that city on a hog farm as a pilot project. In the meantime I received another book from India with engineering designs for differ- ent sizes for gas plants. After adapting one design to my present facilities I sent it away to the Bio -Gas engineers at the University of Manitoba for comment. If the design is approved the next step will be a cost estimate, to see if it will be economical. With fuel prices going up as they do, this should be soon. I'll keep you informed on the progress.
