SOME TIME AGO we wrote about the centennial money, which is still sitting in a current account at the local bank, Surely the least that could be done would be to have this money transferred to a savings account, so there would be same interest derived from it. With all the community projects which are under way, there should be no trouble finding a suitable place for this money. Why shouldn't there be a public meeting called to decide the fate of these funds, which, after all, were raised by the general public, Personally, we believe the project of a children's playground next to the arena is a real good one. With the probability of the fall fair being held in this location, It almost seems everyone would be agreeable to investing the money in this manner. Lets have a meeting and get it settled once and for all. Let's Enforce The Law SEVERAL WEEKS ago "No Parking here to Corner" signs were erected at the main intersections of Zurich. The idea was very good, as this is a dangerous corner and serious accidents could hap- pen there. For some reason or another no one seems to be obeying this new regulation, and we wonder if perhaps a few violation tickets may change the situation. Better idea yet, may be to place warning cards on .first time offenders, with the understanding that the next time it will result in a fine. Keep Our Streets Clean EARLY LN THE year, at a meeting of the village trustees, we understood they had decided to keep our streets clean, both in the winter and summer. This past winter they did an excellent job of snow removal, and are to be .commended for their efforts.. •However, now that the snow is gone, there is plenty of dirt on our main streets. It would be very nice if this rubbish were also cleaned away. How about it, trustees? See our New Samples 1111 "HILTSE STONE" Line.

Howard Law- rence asked the class some more riddles after which Bern- ard Bedard and rGegory Will- ard Bedard and Gregory Will - Ann and Shirley Flaxbard sang a duet, "Winter Adieu." The meeting was then closed by singing "God Save The Queen." 0 Boy Scout News (By Pat O'Brien, A.S.M.) On Wednesday night the Boy Scout Troop held their meeting, which opened with everyone say- ing the Scout Promise. The Tend: erpack test was reviewed, after which plans were made for the candy sale, which was held on Saturday. Now I would Iike to tell you something about a Scoutmaster. As you know, he is the leader of the troop, and teaches the Scouts their tests. He is also a personal friend to all the boys, and he helps them in their personal life as well as in Scouting, If at any time any- one has any questions they would like to ask, I would be only too happy to try and answer them. On the same night as the Scouts held their meeting, the Wolf Cubs held theirs. The highlight was a Cub Investiture by Douglas O'- Brien, who in scouting is called "Akela". The six boys who were taken into the Cubs were: Paul Hesse, Don McAdams, Paul Cor- riveau, Gary Flaxbard, Charles Begier, and Edward Prang. The boys were presented with an en- rollment card and congratulated be Akela. Keep up the good work, boys, and do the best you possibly can. "Good Scouting," Girl Guide Nay' (By Carol Fischer) The Girl Guides held their reg- ular meeting on Thursday night, with much of their time being used in making plans for their Hot Cross Bun sale. However, they did find time to enjoy sonie square dancing. After the meeting, Court of Honour was opened with the Guides Promise. A discussion was held on various projects which will be coming up in the near future. On Saturday afternoon the Girl Guides and Brownies were around taking orders for the Hot Cross buns, and they report it as being very successful. a Hensall Youth Wins Award Edward Norminton, a first year student of mathematics and phys- ics at Western University. with an average of 87 percent in math., .physics and chemistry was award- ed a scholarship in geophysics, a $350 academic award sponsored by the Canadian Society of Ecplora- tion Geophysicists.

Now it's been made even more economical by the in- troduction of Bank of Montreal personal chequing accounts, which reduce the cost of each cheque to only ten cents. Instead of writing cheques a- gainst your saving account, or bus- iness -type current account, you can now operate your own per- sonal chequing account at a lower rate. With this new type of per- sonalized account, you are charged a set rate of only ten cents per cheque cashed, thus eliminating extra book-keeping, making it pos- sible for the bank to pass on the saving to you. The B of M also provides you. with quarterly statements instead of a passbook, and makes no ch- arge for deposits as in the case of a current account, where ten cents is charged for each entry. Why not take advantage of this new service by visiting the Zurich branch of the Bank of Montreal, James Wild, the accountant, will be glad. to explain all the details and to help you open your per- sonal chequing account If you de- cide you want one. It's the mod- ern way to pay your bills, and your cancelled cheques, which are held by the B of M for twenty years, are always instantly avail- able as perfect receipts for your budget records. 21-b a remiryw,m+r.rVw0v, ANNOUNCING The Appointment of EARL FLAXBARD, Zurich As Our District Representative - for ADORN -UM WINDOWS, DOORS, AWNINGS OUR PRODUCTS ARE ON DISPLAY AT HIS HOME WINTER SEAL WfINDOWS(>`.axno, )LTD0 w�s�a+w.ePa..a,d-�a-o HE SALL 11 IR HENSALL TOWN HALL Friday, April 11th, 1958 7.30 P.M, Sponsored by the Hensall Recreation Committee 1.
