Such an instance took Place near Zurich the other day, when 25 men decided to harvest their friend's craps.. No doubt all of the volunteers had work of their own which they could have been doing, but, proving that old saying, "a friend in need is a friend indeed", they let their own jobs go and saw to it that their friend's crop was completely harvested. "Help your neighbour" was the slogan this group used, as they cheerfully went about the job which they were there to do. We sincerely hope that if ever ,any of these friends need help there will be another .group ready to take up the challenge and come to their aid. Acts of kindness such as this are not soon forgotten. Take 111e Out To The Ball Game The local baseball team is currently involved in a playoff with Mitotell, for the championship of the league, The crowds at the games here have not been too good so far this season. With. the fine calibre, of baseball being played by our team, we feel there should be much bigger turnouts. As everyone will realize, it costs money to operate a ball team. Balis and bats alone are an expensive item, let alone figuring the cost of umpires. Without crowds. it is tough to :make ends meet, and we surely woulld not want to see baseball came to an end here in Zurich, as it has in many of the larger towns around us. We have a reputation of being a good sporting town. Let's keep that reputation. The net home game in the playoff series with Mitchell will be in Zurich on Thursday night. Your coming out to the game win help the team morally as well as financially, so get after Mom and Pop with the tune, "Take me out to the Ball Game", and let's see everyone down at the .park on Thursday night. We Can't .Warm Up The Hash (Wiarton Echo) At this time of year when everyone is on holidays, and news is difficult to dig up, there is a great temptation for the editor of a weekly paper to let things slide, to fill the columns with anything at hand, and to hie himself to the beach or the golf course at every opportunity. The editor worth Ms salt, of course, does none of these. He digs a little hander for his news, continues to write his editorials, whatever the temperature, and gives full measure to his subscribers. It's little wonder, then, says the Paisley Advocate, that editors of weeklies look with some disdain and not a little envy on the "glamour girl" of the news and advertising field — tele- vision —, The Kincardine News has a word on the subject: "Television sets itself up primarily as a medium of trans- mission of entertainment and information. If we can believe its directors, advertising is a secondary consideration and inci- dental only to the provision of the foregoing. Perchance that is why there is an assortment of pronouncements by sponsors two or three times and alternate sponsors once or twice in each pro- gramme. Sponsors now are repeating programmes that were given earlier. If these had any great merit. there could be no objection raised, but the majority of the items were so innocuous in the first time around that to even consider presenting them again is an insult to the intelligence of the television viewers. If this n.ewapaper were to publish this week the same material as last there would be a great hue and cry. But television, heaven bless it, can serve warmed up hash again and again, and get away with it."

(Bill) B. T. Smiley) Well, August is on the wane, and soon the gay, mad fun of yet another summer will be just a frightening memory. For which, and I say it reverently, thank the Lord. , Step on it, September. Let me wrap your cool, sweet, golden charms in my sweaty little arms. If I can just make Labour Day, I figure I can stave off a heart attack for another twelve-month. * :1' You lucky people in your inland towns. You have no conception of what a rugged existence it is this time of year, for those of us who live in the tourist country— the land of the sky-blue water, the nut -brown maids and the pale - white gin. * * * Waving a wan farewell to a group of holidaying friends from the city the other morning, as the sun and the garbage truck came over the horizon simultaneously, I couldn't refrain from a brief sol- iloquy. "Get the to a nunnery, brother," quoth I to myself. "It's probably the only place they won't be able to dig you from out of." * * :k It's the same every year. Sum- mer arrives and with it come the tourists, the relatives, the friends feeling the city's heat. It's grand to see them. Takes you out of your rut. It has the same invig- orating effect that a school of sharks has on a marathon swim- mer. * ,, * One good thing about it. It makes my wife get her spring house-cleaning done. This year, the impending arrival of sisters- in-law turned her into a home- making hurricane that went thro- ugh the old hacienda at about the same pace, and with the same dev- astation, as Sherman went through Georgia. • 8 :h Just one hour before Sis and family arrived, the Old Girl was on her hands and knees, scrubbing the kitchen floor with the sweat pouring into her eyes, shouting or- ders at me as I scurried around, trying to find hiding -places for large baskets of unironed ironing and such. When the relatives walked in, there she was, cool and dainty in a summer dress, looking like Prin- BLAKE (Mrs. Amos Gingerieh, Mr. and Mrs. Orrie Bender and family, Kitchener, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Ginger- ieh. Mr. and Mrs. Moses Schwart- zentruber, Baden, spent the week- end with the latter's daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Gingerich. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Oesch and family were Sunday guests with Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Gingerich. Mr. and Mrs. Lennis Gingerich and family were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Keith Gingerich. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boshart, St. Jacobs, spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Erb, and other relatives in the district. Mr. Harold Finlay and family were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gingerich. Mrs. Betty Carnie, of Tweeds- muir Hall, London, was a Sunday visitor with Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gingerich. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Gingerieh and family were Sunday visitors with the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Gingerich. Mr. Melvin Gingerich spent the weekend with Mr, and Mrs. Heinz Benedictus in Sarnia. Mr. and Mrs. William Steckle, accompanied by Misses Rebecca and Esther Steckle and Paul Steckle spent Sunday in Hawkes- ville. Ethel Barrymore popularized the lines "That's all there is, there isn't any more." cess Margaret just after she's given the servants the rest of the day off, while I stood around plucking my shirt from my wet back and carefully avoiding any heavy-hand- ed jokes about the preceding panic. * 8' Actually, summer is pretty rough on the women in these tourist towns, too. It can get pretty darn nerve-wracking sitting there be- side the lake wondering if it's time to tell the children they've been in swimming long enough. And you certainly get sick of having to turn over on your stomach so there'll be an even tan on the backs of your legs. And you've no idea how wearing it can be, sit- ting under that hot dryer, at the hairdresser's. Some of the gals are so overcome they've been seen to drop right off. To sleep that is. * * And then, biggest cross of all to bear, are the eternal meals to prepare. The family just doesn't seem to have any consideration in summer. They want to eat three times a day, just as though they were hungry or something. Of course, Dad doesn't eat breakfast, because nobody's up yet, and a can of soup will do for lunch. But your wrists get pretty limp twist- ing that can opener and you're liable to break a fingernail tearing the tough paper off those frozen food dinners or ripping the skin off a banana. * * * Yes, when all is said, the women have it a lot tougher than the men do, in a tourist town in midsum- mer. The men can go straight ahead with their work, without a lot of people calling up and saying come on out to the cottage for a swine and supper, and a lot of in- teruptions like that. ,' * 9' Speaking from the strictly male and selfish point of view, however: if I have to gasp with awe once more when a wild-eyed tourist runs into the office brandishing a big bass; it I have to show one more retired printer through the plant and have him say he's not going to hold me up because he knows how it is and then stand around telling me his life history; if I have to tell one more importunate friend from the city, on his holi- days, that no I can't go down to the pub and have a few beers with him in the middle of the afternoon; then—I may not get me to a nun- nery, but I'm sure as hell going to start looking around for a first- class monastery that's open for clients. ..Lettersd 'the :E itfor., Dear Editor: Enclosed is a money order for $3.50, for one year subscription to the Zurich 'Oitizens News.
