action Soon at Township Office —
New Building? Or Use Town Hall?
111
Definite action will be taken
this year to have the Township
Office moved from its present lo-
cation, it was learned last FFxiidaay
night at a joint meeting of the
Hay Township council and the
trustees of the village of Zurich.
The village trustees - have rec-
ently net with the officials of
the Hensall Co-operative in re-
gards to the availability of the
land owned by the Co-op, needed
to open the street to the full
width, and reported a satisfactory
arrangement has been made.
The big problem facing the
Township Council now is whether
they should build a new office
or re -model the Town Hall to ac-
commodate their office. Quite
some time ago the village trustees
had offered a suitable lot. to the
township for he erection of a new
office and are still offering them
the same deal.
50 - 50 Basis
In .addition to offering the
township the property, the village
is now offering to share on an
even split bass the cost for the
erestion of such a building, on the
condition it could be used for the
village office as well. In the ev-
ent that Zuriich should some day
incorporate, the village or the
township would have to buy the
other's share in the building.
It vias decided by the council
tiigate .,tla M:..di@ferenee in
cost • ' *;' en the-` caneta-uct ion of
a new bidding ding and the renovation
of the Town Hall, and they would
then decide on which plan would
be followed. At any rate, they
promised the Village Trustees that
work would commence on the pro-
ject lin the vary near future.

Land 'I ought For _env ;!ark; Plan To

Things are finally beginning to
ha,ppen to the proposed Commun-
ity Park, to the east of the arena.

ed and plans are under way to
start drawing fill very shortly.
At a special meeting Monday
night of the nine pian committee
which was appointed some time
ago to further the plans for the
park; it was revealed that a con-
siderable amount of fill could be
had from He:nsali for the trucking.
A special .committee was authoriz-
ed to make the necessary arrange-
ments to have :the fill drawn in,
and another committee was in-
rich.
n
strutted to look after having a
drain put in through the centre
of the grounds.
With the time for the fall fair
drawing near, the committee is
very anxious to have enough of
this work completed by that time,
so the grounds will be suitable
to be used for the fair.
Much volunteer help will he

put in the drain. Anyone who
can donate a day or two of their
services is kindly asked to get in

Night Attractio
Horse Show To
For Zurich. Fail Fair
e Held In Arena
Roiling along with the theme
"Bigger and Better than Ever",
the directors of the Zurich Fall
Fair have decided to stage a mon-
ster "Horse Show" an the arena
on the night of the fair, More
horses than ever before will prob-
ably be entered in this year's fair,
and for this reason it was decided
to make a special attraction of the
event.
It was felt that in other years
there were too many activities
going on at once, and people could
not enjoy seeing the full. showing
of horses. By staging the show
as an attraction of {its, own, peop-
le will be' able to spend the after-
noon visiting all the different dis-
plays and exhibits, and then en-
joy the evening inside watching
the various classes of horses per-
form.
The big midway which will be
at the fair should also be an out-
standing aattraction. There will be
rides for young and old, and al-
ways something to entertain the
people with. Remember the date
of the Zurich Fall Fair, Septem-
ber 20 and 22.
