SHOP AT HOME?
QUITE OFTEN it is brought to our attention that only
about half of the people in Zurich shopat uat thee. T ewest situation
elsewhere to do their buying.
No occurs in many other small villages like Zurich.
In small towns such as ours, the amount of business to
be had by local merchants is limited, therefore they need all
the business that local people can give them.
When donations are needed for any cause, it is your local
give.mercharaL who is called upon to He
churches, and he helps to keep a smallpla place such as thiscal on
the map.
While we quite agree that some items are hard to buy at
home, we also feel that if we don't support our local merchant
he cannot afford to modernize and expand his store to suit all
our needs. If it were not for the local merchant, through his
medium of advertising, we would not have a weekly newspaper
in Zurich right now. Let's all give this a bit of thought, and
boost Zurich by shopping at home. Other places the size of
Zurich have tripled in size during the past prosperous years,
so why can't ge do the same for this town.
THE POLICE SITUATION
(Goderich signal -Star)
THE GODERICH Police Commission is to be commended
for "taking the bull by the horns" and asking for the resignation
of Police Chief Hall on the basis of information presented to
the Commission last Friday. We are confident that the move
meets with the approval of more than 90 per cent of citizens
acquainted with the situation.
Since this editorial was written Monday evening for the
editorial page which goes to press every week on Wednesday
morning, it is not known at time of writing what will take
place at the Police Commission meeting Wednesday afternoon.
If that meeting is concluded in time Wednesday afternoon the
results should be on our front Wedne clay with theis lly press run
set
up and ready to go by 5 p.
being made Thursday morning.
The Police Chief has until 3 p.m., Wednesday to hand in
his resignation, as requested by the Commission. If this is not
done, then the Commission will undoubtedly lay formal charges
against him under the Police Act. The hearing of those charges
takes place a few days later. The Police Chief is entitled to
have counsel support his case as, indeed, is the Commission also.
It will be the first real test for the Police Commission since
it assumed office at the beginning of this year. We have every
assurance that the Commission will deal with the matter in a
manner that will take into consideration the welfare of this
town and its citizens. On October 4, 1957, the Goderich Town
Council, with the exception of the ten Mayor John Graham, went
on record as passing a vote of confidence in the Goderich Police
Force. Maybe it was justifiable at the time, but many people
found the vote difficult to comprehend. One of the council even
went so far as to say it was "The best police protection that
Goderich has enjoyed in quite some time." It could be that even
those who supported the vote of confidence didn't genuinely be-
lieve in it but that the purpose of it was for a certain other
angle entirely.
There is a very considerable amount of interest being taken
by the public in the present police situation. There are many
who feel—and who have said so—that what the Police Commis-
sion is now doing should have been done several years ago by
those who were in a position to do it. It would have saved
many a headache in the interim.
It is unfortunate that Goderich has received such widespread,
unfavorable publicity over its police situation but it would appear
that the time is at hand when proper steps are being taken to
clean things up.

SUGAR and SPICE
(By W, (Bill)
Who wouldn't be a school teach-
er during the first week in Sept-
ember? Those long, boring, mono-
tonous two months of holidays are
finally ended, thank goodness. And
there you are, ;as delighted as Dan-
iel •in the lion's den, Mace to face
with 30 or 40 miniature monsters
who are just busting with health
and heliery, and are all ready,
willing and able to turn you into
ane big, quivering twitch in a mat-
ter of weeks.

Who wouldn't be a farmer when
September rolls around? Cattle
so fat they can scarcely walk.
Golden grain up to your navel.
Nothing to do but jog around to
fall fairs. Not a worry in the
world. Except that the bottom
might fall out of the cattle mark-
et the day before you ship. Or a
hailstorm will arrive. the day be-
fore the combine does.

and confronted by a mass of ed-

your own isn't among them..

Name ane lady who wouldn't he
a mother in the first seven days in
good old Septernlber. Gone are the
dreary days of suananer, when
there was nothing to do but lie
around in the back yard, trying
to get your bosom tanned. Arrived'
are the gladsome days when life
begins, not at 40, but at 7.30 a.m.,
and the hours, instead of dragging,
are filled with happy little domes-
tic tasks right through until you
careen into. bed at midnight.

Yes, indeed, that first week in
Septemlber can be pretty rugged.
But it has its sunny side. For one
thing, there's the certainty that
winter Will soon be here, and your
relatives don't come to see you
in the winter.
* * k
Tlhen, there's the knowledge that
a few weeks of nature's finest ef-
fart in the weather department lie
ahead. A chance for a last fling at
the trout, without having to clam-
ber aver an assortment of tourists
to get near a stream. The joyous
realization that the women have
!abandoned the golf links and the
fiairnvays echo only to the tread
of strong silent male golfers, the
vein throbbing in their foreheads
as they fight back the naughty
words.

There is the deep joy of know-
ing that the children are baok un-
der the benevolent wings of the
educational and social systems,
and that far the next ten months
they'll be !completely and happily
occupied with school, Cubs, Brow-
nies, music lessons andl what -have -
you, and that you don't have to
take them for a blasted drive, or
swim, or picnic, every time you
show yourself around the rancho.

Oh, there's a certain sadness in
the knowledge: that summer is ov-
er, but that .lasts only a day or so.
Any .red-blooded Canadian knows
deep in his boats that summer is
merely an unreal state of mind
that has no more substance, no
more staying' power, than a pleas-
ant dreaan,

Summer is strictly for women,
children and tourists. For men, it's
just a matter of running around in
a circle for 60 days, and getting
not only hat, but nowhere. Come
September, the average Canadiran
male settles down, gets that well-
worn shoulder to the familiar
wheel and begins to enjoy life, in-
stead of (plunging aboutlike a
dart in a windstorm:, as he does in
July and August.
