pledges to date
The fund-raising committee for the Zurich community centre
is already half -way to its goal of $35,000 with over $18,300 in
pledges.
The two latest pledges are $4,000 from the Zurich Lions and
$10,000 from the Zurich and District Bean Festival Committee.
A thermometer has been raised by the community centre to
show the progress of the fund-raising.
A canvassers' meeting will be held on October 14 at 8 p.m. in
the community centre in preparation for the beginning of the
door to door canvasses which will cover Zurich and the surroun-
ding area. The canvassers will be informed as to what is being
done, where the money is to be spent and general rules on
canvassing procedures. They will be supplied. with facts con-
cerning the centre so they will be able to answer most questions
they may run into while doing the actual canvassing.

Presentation to be made
on core area ren vntions
A dinner meeting of all those
who live or work in the core area
of Zurich will be held next Wed-
nesday evening to discuss the
proposed changes to improve
the downtown business section.
The proposed improvements
have been suggested by Nicho-
las Hill of Goderich in a study
prepared for the Zurich busi-
ness association. Mr. Hill has
closely studied the core area of
the village and he will present
everyone at the meeting with a
copy of his proposals as well as
give an, exhibition describing
them in detail.
There are few major changes
suggested by Mr. Hill. General-
ly, awnings, ' color, signs and
landscaping are used to give the
business section a new more
unified look.
According to Mr. Hill,
"There is a lot going for the
kind of environment already
here so it was not necessary
to construct a new theme. I
believe the presentation will
provide a low-key but effective
improvement program. "
Ron Heimrich, president of
the business association, says
all those who live or work in
the downtown core will receive
an invitation to the dinner
meeting to be held at 7 p.m.,
October 20 in the Dominion
Hotel, but the financing of the
evening has not been fully
worked out as yet.
A LOT OF GOOD EATING—Many of the people who attended the turkey smorgasbord last week in
the Varna United Church had to wait their turn to eat, but the wait was worth it. The ladies outdid
themselves with the turkey, dressing, scalloped potatoes, baked beans and much much more.

given.
In other business council
approved an application for
the amount of $12,000 under
the Shorelines Protection Act.
The Ministry of the Environ-
ment advised council that in
regards to the Dashwood water
works project there "are no
funds available in the current
fiscal year to begin an engineer-
ing study of the project. How-
ever, council was advised the
budget allocations for the 1977=
78 fiscal year are still to be
determined.
October 31 to November 6 is
Energy Conservation week
which council endorsed. How-
ever, no specific activities were
planned by council.
