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.

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. that night in bed, 1 reminisced, and cheered -up considerably as 1 recalled the exciting, even hap- py days of May, 1945. *:** I wasn't in diapers when the war ended. I was in jail.

About May 5th, our German guards had folded their glockenspiels ,and crept away into the ivght. FARMER LIKES DST (Taken from London Free Press) 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. Just let some of us farmers punch a time clock and put in eight hours in a dusty old foundry. These fel- lows o for a can'tride n the take emiddle of tir car anhe afternoon. Us farmers are not exempt from faults. We got lots of fresh air while our dust and shut up friends aa facthave ory or office. Us farmers don't kill ourselves. We have a good time. best place on earth is on a farm. We have to sell our pork and beef to the machin- ery to city sit down and on s nwhile we 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. from Rostock to Wiesmar, :a song - in my heart, a blister on my heel, -a vacuum in my stomach and a very rugged character from Chi- cago, Tony Manoii, by my side. * a: 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.

The same evening, under a railroad bridge, we roasted stolen ducks * * So there we sat and sulked, while roisterers roistered in 'hires Square and Piccadilly Circus, celebrating the end of the affairr. The war was over and we were still on the cabbage soup and black bread circuit. Day after day we waited for the aircraft which were supposed to come and fly us home.

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." a gained the British lines, we stop- ped and Qooked back into that sea of humanity in which we had sported, swum, and sometimes nearly drowned.
