For Mother's Day
On Sunday, Mother's Day, over
250 persons enjoyed eating out at
the Dominion Hotel, Zurich.. Many
more were turned away as sup-

Out-o.Mown visitors started
swarming around the Hotel at
three o'clock, waiting for dinners
to be served, and by five o'clock
there was a line-up on fbot.h sides
of the building, waiting to get in.
The hotel has long had a name
for being one of the finest paces
to eat in Western Ontario, and
this was proven last Friday, when

out from his busy schedule to ar-
