NO MORE SHOOTING IN TOWN
AT A RECENT meeting of the Village Trustees of Zurich,
it was decided to enforce the laws in regard to the carrying
and discharging of firearms within the village limits. Numerous
complaints have been registered with the trustees lately in
regard to shooting off air -rifles in Zurich.
Most of the offenders are reported to be children. Street
lights have been shot out, windowsbieken, and danger some birds
s
killed. We wonder if perhaps parents
can be done with one of these guns. While many people are
of the opinion that an air -rifle is a toya d from do one of these
no harm,
we cannot agree with them. One tiny pe

Dear Sirs:
Please find enclosed six dollars
for two subscriptions to the Zurich
Citizens News. I took a copy to
my mother, Mrs. Caroline Price,
at the hospital, and she liked it
so well I decided to subscribe for
her as well as myself.
No doubt mother will be one of
your oldest subscribers.
Thanking you, I remain,
Yours very truly

(By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley)
In a chat with one of the teach-
ers at the High School Open
House the other night, I got a se-
vere jolt. Talking of the pupils
he remarked: "It's hard to believe
that most of the kids in high
school don't remember the war."
He pointed out that they were
either toddlers or in diapers,
when the war ended 13 years ago.

I must .admit it upset me. Made
me feel olid and sad. However.

FARMER LIKES DST

Sir: I write this letter concern-
ing Daylight Saving Time. I am
a farmer and it suits me fine.
In fact I like it. As for getting the
chickens and children to bed, the
chickens go when they feel like
it and so do the kids.
As for farmers- - - -some think
they are the only ones who work.

Zurich —ONE FARMER
WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1958
NOW LEGAL
1. After May 26 it will be legal
to pass another car on the right.
But only in urban areas, and even
then only under certain conditions.
The Ontario Safety League re-
minds motorists that in open high-
way driving, "If you pass, or are
being passed on the right .. .
you're wrong". And sometimes
dead as well.
2. Even when it is legal to do
so, use the utmost care when pas-
sing another car on the right,
urges the Ontario Safety League.
A cardinal error is to sound your
horn at the moment of overtaking.
A nervous driver in the passing
lane may swing sharply to the
right at the blast of a horn.
HOW CAN 1.?
3. If a reckless driver behind
you is sweating to "bull" his way
ahead through thick traffic, do
what you can to let him pass .. .
recommends the Ontario Safety
League. The tail end of a mad
bull is much safer than the front.
4. The car you drive should al-
ways be exactly where you want
it. Not approximately, comments
the Ontario Safety League. Pul-
ling up for a traffic light the good
driver stops with his bumper ex-
actly at the white line ... not
just somewhere in the general
area. When parking he visual-
izes the •exact distance of wheels
from curb, and checks as he gets
out. Good driving like other skills
needs practise and concentration.
Q. How can I clean feathers on
hats?
A. Ostrich feathers can be wash-
ed by running them through the
loosely -closed hand in lukewarm
suds made with white soap; then
rinse in water of the same temp-
erature. When hanging up to
dry, tie a piece of string to the
end of the quill and shake fre-
quently while drying.

very rugged character from Chi-
cago, Tony Manoii, by my side.

Six hours before, we'd crawled
on our bellies between two sent-
ries, after cutting the wire with
homemade shears. Then we'd ruai,
in the dark, with a speed and sil-
ence that amazes me still, wait-
ing for the shout or the b -u -u -r -
r -r -r -p. Jolly!
But that was behind. Ahead lay
90 miles and three days in a
country in chaos, swarming with
people of every nationality, Baits,
Slays, French, German and Rus-
saan, slaves and 'soldiers. We lear-
ned that nobody travels as fast
and as free as the man who has
nothing.
We scarcely had time to pour
into the countryside, drink every-
thing we could lay hands on,
. start affairs with all the Ger-
man girls, and slaughter a few
dozen head of beef for a massive
barbecue, when our gallant allies,
the Russians arrived, and herded
us all back behind barbedwaze.
We'd merely exchanged one set over a fire .and shared a couple
of scowiling guards for another, of bottles of bingo with some
complete with burp guns.

We walked miles. We feasted
and we starved. We rade in every-
thing, from a two -horse landau -
let, driven by a tough old Germ-
an lady who spoke about Shakes-
peare, to a big Buick sedan, driv-
en by a drunken Russian officer
who scared the living ectoplasm
out of us.
Q. How can I test hooks and
eyes before making a ga w
determine whether they will rust
when the garment is laundered? '
A. Steel hooks and eyes are
liable to rust. Before using them,
test with a small magnet. If the
magnet draws them they contain
steel.
Q. How can i prevent costume
greenish
jewellery from leaving g t
marks on the skin?
A. Wash it in warm water and
baking soda occasionally. Rinse
and dry carefully afterwards.
Q. How can I store laundry
soap?
A. The wrappers should be re-
moved from laundry soap before
storing away, to give better ser-
vice and to make the soap last
longer. Keep the wrappers on
scented toilet soap to retain the
delicate odor.

We drank a pitcher of warm
milk, proffered by a young Ger-
man girl, who told us, with what
seemed remarkable unconcern,
that she'd been raped by Rus-
sians. four times in four days. The
same evening, under a railroad
bridge, we roasted stolen ducks

Q. What should a young man
do when at a party or other func-
tion, and he finds himself next to
a girl to whom he has not been
introduced?
A. He san say, "I am Paul
Sprague. I do not believe I have
met you."
Q. What is considered the prop-
er length of time between the
announcement of the engagement
and the wedding?
A There is no definite rule, this
depending naturally upon circum-
stances. Usually, the maximum is
six months, and if a couple antici-
pate a greater length of time, they
will postpone the announcement of
their engagement until they are
fairly certain of the date of their
marriage,
Q. Is it permissible to mail a
joint wedding invitation to an en-
gaged couple, or must an individ-
ual invitation be sent to each?
A. Correctly an individual in-
vitation should be sent to each.
However, if you are running short
of invitations, you could be for-
given for mailing a joint invitation
to this couple. In this case, you
address the outer envelope to the
girl,' Miss Jane Miller," and the
insideenvelope to "Miss Miller
and Mr. Robert Collins."
