Village Trustees Hear I-Iighw . y Officials Report On Parking Area Trustees of the village of Zu- rich met with 'officials of the Department of Highways last Wednesday night to discuss the en- forcing of the "No Parking Here To Corner" area at the main in- tersection of Zurich. It was pointed out to the trus- tees that a by-law enforcing this regulation would have to be dr- awn up before police action could be taken against offenders.

Go To The Polls Frid y—_ ark Ballot For Your Decision In Hog Vote Friday of this week is an im- portant day for men who raise pigs, and in fact for all farmers. Lt is the date for the much talked of "Hog Vote". ,Oldtimers Play 'Kings Here Friday Night Something new and dif- ferent will take place at the local ball field on Friday night when the old timers of years gone by will tangle with the present day Zurich Lumber - kings, in an eiibition ball game. The challenge was is- ' sued SaW al 'weeks' ago, -and since `then many' of the Ohl gang have been seen throwing a baff+I around in their back yards getting in condition for this special event, In all probabilities former pitching star Carl Heideman will do the throwing for the eldtimers, with such former stars as Ed Gescho, Hal Stade, Earl Yungbi+u•t, Len Prang, Gerd Block and many others to back him on the line-up. No matter what the out- come of the game is, fans will have plenty to cheer about as the challengers go all out to down the High riding Lum- berkings. The game wild start at. 7 p.m. After a19: the tanning is done, by those for, and those against the present plan for selling hogs, it would appear that it is cert- atnay up to the individual farmer himself to come to his +awn con- clusion. It is important that he consider all of the information at his hands, consider the place from which it comes, and on that basis, 'form Ns 'own opinion. Then the .important thing is to visit the polling place in the town- ship In which he resides, and cast a vote for the side of his choice. One thing to keep in mind when corning to that decision, is :that the vote is not for or against assembly points, nor for or against the convp alsory ;aspect of the as- • sembly point part of the plan. The vote is simply tor or against the idea .af the producer laming a :Y�a,rsner4iirected •'plan: ,cif sig:. • Within that plan, .he may formu- late his own :policy through the township 'delegates, and county di- rectors in the Hog Producers As- sociation. Without such a farmer - directed plan of marketing, the producer leaves the selling of has product entirely in. the hands of the buyer, and the consumer. $400 damage was caused in an accident on No 23 highway, west of Exeter, when e car driven •by John Brown, Zurich, was in col- lision with a car driven by John Melnick, Barrie, The Melnick car was travelling east on the highway and the Brown car came out of Concession 4, when the impact oc- curred.
