Change in Health Problems
WHEN HURON COUNTY Council received such a favour-
able report from Dr. R. M. Al•dis, director of the County Health
Unit last week during the January Sessions, they heard of the
direct result of the discovery of Salk polio vaccine only two
years ago. There was no polio cases in. Huron during 1957.
It seems only a short time ago that the corning of summer
was a time of fear far mothers and fathers. Every year when
the "season" arrived, more youngsters ' (and adults, too) were
stricken with this crippling disease.
Control of disease has advanced a long way within the past
few years, practically all of it corning since the discoveries of
Louis Pasteur and Madame Curie. Now,. as Dr. A1dis reports,
"for people under 40 years of age, the chief cause of death
is by accidents; for people over 40, the principal causes are
ailments of the heart or circulatory . system, and cancer."
There is another danger on the horizon—in fact, with us
now. Mental health is the biggest public health problem. About
half of hospital beds are used for mental health cases. •
When Something Is Missing
(Goderich Signal -Star)
IT'S SURPRISING THE THINGS;, which are taken for
granted and whose real values are only realized when they are
no longer available.
The Zurich Herald, that village's weekly newspaper, belong-
ed to that category. After printing the Zurich Herald for 43
years, Chester L. Smith, the publisher, sold the Herald sub-
scription .list at the close of 1957 to The Exeter Times -Advocate.
Prime reason given for this sale was the breakdown of the press
of The Zurich Herald. The Exeter Times -Advocate added that "It
was no longer economically feasible for a newspaper to operate
in Zurich."
So, at the start of 1958, Zurich lost its place as a community
with a voice and its news and views became merely a part of a
page in the Exeter newspaper. Like "The Man Without a
Country," Zurich joined the unfortunate communities without a
true newspaper of their awn. It became relegated to a cross-
roads spot whose life was recorded in several columns of a
newspaper ,published ;at a distance which also devetes several
columns to like, communities in its supposed .'field:
After several weeks of this treatment, however, civic pride
revolted in Zurich. The citizens of the village and prosperous.
district realized that something valuable was missing in the eon..
Triunity. What they had taken for granted before; they suddenly
realized, was something they did not want' to be without. They
went into action and out of it came a new weekly newspaper—
The Zurich Citzens News, which made its first appearance last
week.
Having had a taste of being temporarily deserted, the resi-
dents of Zurich and district will no doubt give the community
support that is necessary for the operation of a weekly newspaper.
It is a show window and voice of a community. Without it, a
municipality lacks something which it only fully realizes when
it suddenly hasn't one.
Lots of Fun on Ice
THE BABE SEIBERT MEMORIAL ARENA is certainly a
busy place these days.
Every day eager boys and girls take the opportunity of
learning the fun and thrills of skating. The boys of course
specialize in hockey, and with Peewees, Bantam, Midget and
Horne -brew teams there's lots of hockey played.
Considering the fact that natural ice farces the boys to
learn to play in rather more of a hurry than those centres where
artificial ice is used, the kid% of Zurich make a very fine showing
for themselves—and often trounce visiting teams with skill and
good sportsmanship.
Curling is finding its way into popularity here, just within
the last few weeks. Over one hundred men have already taken
up the sport, and more are showing up at the rink every time
they have a chance.
Actually curling may well be the answer to better things
on ice for Zurich. The financial support given by curlers, with
their• regular play, their bonspiels, etc., has proven in many
,other towns to be the turning point as far as monetary success
is eoneerned. In fact, with curlers enjoying the rink, it is quite
within the realm of possibility that Zurich may be able to have
artificial ice in the near future.
The community centre, itself, is completely paid for. The
cost of installing the ice -making plant is not so large, but that
the village could look forward to paying it off in fairly short
order. It is amazing where money can come from, once the in-
terest of a municipality is evident.
