WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1958 HIS PAPER IS G6 EWS" With this second edition of the new Zurich weekly, we are happy to report that good things are being said about the "baby" by all its friends. Over one hundred subscriptions have been received already, and more people are asking every day about how they can subscribe for themselves, or for their friends, Not only has the Citizens NEWS brought news of the dist- m ict to its readers, but it is making the news and editorial ,columns of other newspapers as well. We expect as time goes on, to bring you some of these comments made in other publications. Why is the new paper "news" to so many people? Well, actually it is rather unusual in recent years for a new news- aaper to be started in a settled community. Of course, on �anda's frontiers, where new towns are springing up around mining developments, oil properties, etc., it is quite the accepted thing for a newspaper to thrive where none was before. But in small settled communities, it seems that the attraction of larger centres is greater than any inclination to enjoy and support a local newspaper. But—Zurich is an exception to the rule. Never, we think, have we heard of such civic pride, such enthusiasm for their own, as the people of this village have shown in their support of this newspaper. Upon this enthusiasm the success or failure of the paper will rest. INTEREST IN FARM VOTE Quite likely 1958 will be remembered in future years as the one in which all the voting was done. Politically we are in this area facing a by-election to find a member for the riding in the provincial legislature. "Those who know" are predicting an election on the dominion level sometime this year. For farm- ers there will be a hog vote, and there has been a wheat vote. At least no one can say that people in Huron County do not use their franchise. A good percentage of those eligible turned out to cast their ballots on the recent vote concerning the wheat marketing plan. This is indicative of the interest taken by people in the rural areas in their own welfare. We believe that this is a healthy sign. Surely if the people take an interest in the votes made possible. under our democratic way of life, they will in the long run choose the way which is best for the majority of the people of the nation.

In 1924 fire razed the store of T. L. Wurm, formerly owned by J. J. Merner. Mr. Wurm later opened business in the Piartlerb block, before disposing of his stock and business to Wesley Merner. In 1907 Fred C. Kalbfleisch moved his sawmill together with the planing mill, from the 16th =cession. of Hay to Zurich. Zurich was incorporated as a police village by the Huron Coun- ty Council on December 4, 1896. On August 21, 1933, at 3 pm., a fire broke out at the rear of Heists Bakery, quickly diminish- ing the building. A few minutes later Yungblut's Meat Market was also burned down. l3efore the fire was brought under con- trol the flour and feed business of I,. Schil.be and Son was also ruins. Zurich has had nine medical doctors since 1900, while there have been only three dentists here in the same time. 0 You g People Evangelism ere The Evangelical Youth Fellow- ship of Emmanuel Evangelical United Brethren Church, met on January 13, with Dennis Amacher as chairman.
