came running to the call. They
soon had a ladder up to the roof
and started pouring water on the
fire. By this time neighbours and
the Zurich Fire Department had.
been notified by Mrs. Durand,
However, by the time the fire
department had arrived, they had
the ;lames under control, and th-

Huron Liberals and Conservatives
Set Dates for'omination Rallies
The : eituelieri :,.for. the 0orei'ng
by-election in Huron Riding has
changed only slightly during the
past week.
Locally Earl Campbell, former
warden of Huron County and for-
mer reeve of Hay Township may
well be a strong candidate for
the Liberal Party, although the
Liberals have not yet shown str-
ong determination to run a can-
didate at all.
However, the strong party
men are not likely to let the
"tories" have it without a battle,
and no doubt more than one can-
didate will come forward. The
rally for the Liberals will be held
in Hensel' town hall next Monday
April 21.
Meanwhile there seems to be

Advertising Pays!
"It pays to advertise," says
Jean. Denomy, Zurich, who last
week had lost $60 on a local st-
reet. Immediately, she inserted
a lost ad 4n the Citizens News.
Only a .few hours after the paper
was ^in the mail, she had a call
from a lady advising her that
she had found the money.
The finder was 'Mrs. Nelson
Wurm. Zurich, who told the Cit-
izens News she .was afraid to
advertise having found the money
for fear there would be too many
people claim it. She said she hop-
ed someone would run an ad a-
bout having lost it so she could
return it to its rightful owner.
As it was, both parties were
happy; the lost had been found,
and Mrs. Wurm received a re-
ward for her honesty.
