ONE OF THE STRANGEST pieces of business we have
seen in some time occurred at a recent meeting of the Zurich
Village

to the VillageCouncil

As far as we can see, the fire engine is owned and operated
by the Village of Zurich, and as fas as a fire in the village is
concerned we don't feel it is necessary to have a telephone in
the hall to let us know where the fire is. We understand
that when the telephone was installed some years ago, it was
done so strictly as a convenience to the rural residents of the
township, who the Zurich Fire Brigade are only too happy to
help out in time of distress. The Village Trustees made a wise
move when they refused to pay this account, and we only hope
the telephone commission may see their error, and save the
causing of an inconvenience to their rural subscribers

WHEN DO OUR STREET LIGHTS GO ON?
SOME TIME AGO the Village of Zurich had a new switch
installed theend an
confusion forto the turninggoffhtf and on of theg system,c10 lights. wastAppa ently
this switch was to operate with the sun.
However, it seems since daylight saving time came into
effect, the lights don't seem to want to go on on time. Sunday
night we purposely watched the clock to see what time it was
when they did come on, and at fifteen minutes to ten they
finally flashed.
Surely we are proud enough of our town to have it lit up
before this hour. Perhaps the Village Trustees had better in-
vestigate the matter and see what can be done about it. It
does get quite dark before ten o'clock in the evening.
WHO KNOWS, maybe DST has something to do with it.

SUGAR and 5PICE
(By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley)
Coming up, dead ahead, is just
about the biggest weekend of the
year for Canadians. It has an ex-
hilaration that no other weekend
on our calendar produces. Hearts
are ;light and gay because it's
the official opening of summer.

According to an old superstition,
summer really begins- on June- 21st.
But try to 'Gell that to a school

Nope. Summer begins on the
last weekend in June, and we
might as weal admit it. That's
when the hordes of children pour
forth in a tidal wave- from their
classrooms, tilled with a wonder-
ful sense of freedom. Which will
last about 48 hours.
• :,, :3
That's when the factory worker,
who has spent 1:11/2 months over
a workbench, or putting round
pegs in square holes, sets off, a-
quiver with Life, for his two -
weeks -with -pay, ready to half -kill
himself :golfing, swimming, drink-
ing ,beer, dancing, or whatever is
his pleasure, before crawling back,
spent but content, to the- shriek-
ing monotony of his job.
Mothers who have spent the past
ten months crawling out of bed to
find clean sods 'and blouses, to
totter about the kitchen making
toast with peanut butter and jam,
have a new spring in their step,
and a smile in their heart, as they
go humming about the job of
packing for .the cottage. Their's
is the deep inner warmth that
comes 'from the knowledge that
for the next two months, they'll
get meas when they damveeli feel
lake it, and do the washing ditto.

For the bass fisherman, a breed
as peculiar in his way as the deer
hunter, this is the big weekend of
the year. It means two beautiful
months ahead, of baking to- a crisp
in an open boat, lashing various
bodies of water with miscellaneous
hardware, and drinking skunky
been Sheer joy.
:g :k :I,
For the tension -taut young ex-
ecutive-, too, it's -a special week-
end. Family settled in at the cot-
tage, he leaves with protestations
that "it's gonna be 'awfully lonely
without you guys" And as he
drives down the highway back to
the city, his he -art is light as angel
food, -as he contemplates those
long, lovely summer evenings, with
maybe a drink and dinner in a
pleasant restaurant before going
home to that beautiful peaceful
house.
. *
And of course, for everyone, this
weekend has a special significance.
because looming up just after it
is that glorious celebration of Can-
ada's great national holiday ---The
First of July --or Dominion Day,
as we used to call it in simpler
times.

The First of July is just around
the corner, with its wild, bacchan-
alian, carnival atmosphere, its
flagrant expression of a highly -
