Entertain blind at picnic
The Huron and Perth annual
picnic for the Canadian Nat-
ional Institute for the Blind was
held at the Crystal Palace Fair
Grounds in Mitchell, on June 11.
The following persons attended
the event; administrator Wallace
Kennedy and his wife, the field
secretary, Mike Davidson and his
wife, Miss Mary Oberle the
rehabilitation teacher, and Mrs.
Lorna Popham and her daught-
er from London.
The field secretary, Mike Dav-
idson, was in charge of the loud
speaker and the games of fun
that started at three o'clock and
all the blind that attended took
part in the games and they
showed their skills and kept alt
the board members on the move
After two hours of games,
with ice-cream and pop, a very
tasteful chicken dinner was serv-
ed. During the dinner hour,
the group were entertained by
the ' Wildwoods' and the day en-
ded with some dancing. The day
and the picnic were enjoyed by
one and all, who are now look-
ing forward to next year.
The new chairman of the Huron
and Perth Board, Ernie Burford,
his wife, and the board memb-
ers from Stratford, Mitchell,
Listowel, and Zurich took part in
the afternoon activities.
Members representing the
board from Zurich were Claude
and Madeline Gelinas. Claude is
a member of the Lions Club
of Zurich representing the board.
Kenneth Overholt, who is reg-
istered with the boad, and his
mother attended with the Gel-
inas.
There are 156 registered
Blind members in Huron -Perth.
Working- with Blind friends is
most rewarding. Let us always
be kind to them.
Preventive spraying
For the home gardener, prev-
entive spraying may not be a
good thing, says Professor M.K.
Sears, entomologist with the
Ontario Agriculture College,
University of Guelph.
'A preventive spray may not
be needed at all.' the prof-
essor says. 'For example,
many gardeners will spray for
beetles on their potatoes and tom-
atoes, or for cabbage looper
on their cole crops. They may not
have had a previous history
of the problem and may be
spraying simply because a gard-
ening book tells them to do so at
that particular time of year.
Professor Sears says some in-
secticides have a residual nat-
ure, remaining in the ground in
one form or another for months
to years after application.
VILLAGE OF ZURICH - AUDITOR'S REPORT,
TO: The Members of Council, and Ratepayers of,the Corporation of
the Village of Zurich.
I have examined the 1974 financial statements of the Corporation
of the Village of Zurich and its local boards, which are listed
on the attached Index. My examination included a general review
of the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting rec-
ords and other supporting evidence as I considered necessary in
the circumstances. .
In my opinion these financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Corporation of the Village of Zurich
and its local boards as at December 31st, 1974, and the results
of their operations for the year then ended, in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted for Ontario mun-
icipalities applied on a basis consistent with that of the
preceding year.
