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. The
council arranged to have the nec-
essary by-law arranged.
'Further 'diiscussion took place
between the two groups regarding
parking on 'the main street. It
is feast that perhaps parallel park-
ing instead of angle parking
should be enforced to have more
road space clear to traffic throauglh
the village. The Department of
hways has agreed to take a
survey Of the sit'ua'tion and bsting
a report back to the village coun-
cil Wath recommendations as to
which method of parking should
be enforced.
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.
