THIS OLD LA MARK, planted 50' years ago by
Michael Meidinger, still makes a very attractive entrance
to his property in Zurich. Mr. and Mrs. Meidinger were
married 52 years ago, on November 28, 1906, and moved
into this home in 1907. The following year he planted
this' hedge, and built a fine fence across the front of
his premises, making the cement posts himself. At 85
years of age, Mr. Meidinger is still very active, although
he has retired from his masonry trade. Once or twice a
year, as often as is necessary, he gives his hedge a

Members of St, Boniface Parish To
Meet; May Build Separate School
A meeting of the members of
S;t. B!anif'ace Roman Catholic
Church in Zurich will be held in
the Town Hall. on Monday, Octob-
er 6, to further discuss the idea
of !a Separate School in Zurich,
and to elect a board of trustees
for the same. Tentative plans call
for a school to be built to the west
otf the house in which Rev. Fath-
er Doyle resides. The property
has Ibebonged to the parish since
its organization close to 90 years
ago.
According to Father Doyle there
would be approximately 75 pup-
i1sl in their parish who could at-
tend this, school. If the proposed
'school is: !built, construction would
probably start as soon as possible
so it would be ready for opening
next September. At that time
there would he close to 20 children
who would be able to attend the
primary classes. The school would
consist of two classrooms, with
provisions being made for possible
expansion if the necessity arises.
The location of the proposed
school would be ideal, being sit-
uated
ituated very 'close to the chuaich.
There is ample space to the rear
of the buildings for suitable play-
grounds for the children.
At the meeting on Monday night
the parishioners will decide whet
the future plans for their school

Two Members of Community Centre
Board Resign; Should Have Manager
Whether or not the Hay Town- chairman for the past six or seven
ship Council has accepted the res-
ignation of two members of the
Community Centre Board remains
unknown, as the reeve preferred
to hold a closed meeting on the
situation last Wednesday night.
The press was asked to be exclud-
ed from the meeting by reeve V. L.
Becker half way through the dis-
cussions.
Charman of the Board, Dellbert
Geiger, and secretary Feed Halb-
er'er borth resigned after the Zu-
xucl . Fail Fair, givnntg , as their:
reaisan the' 'feet 'asitia` the Fair.
Board had 'used the Conirn!uniy
Centre chairs an the main part of
the arena against the wishes of
several members of the Commun-
i{tyCentre Board. Chairman Geig-
er told the council that he had
been subject to much criticism
with the operation of the arena,
and he felt it was time for a
change for the good of the arena.
He Inas been ort the board since
the arena was built, and was
years.
Recently Mrs. Fanny ;Bender
had resigned as, caretaker of the
building, 'and both men who hand-
ed in their resignations felt the
arena should have a manager, who
wound be in full control of the
operation •of the building.
Commenting on the manager sit-
uation, councillor Jack Corlbett
said, "Either the Arena should be
rum right or closed up." Reeve
Becker wondered if perhaps the
board heel been, lex :in not having
eiriicugh meetings to discuss veva-
'dims of the !building. He suggested
perhaps a lot of problems could
have been 'i'roned out if they had
met oftener.
It was at this point in the meet-
ing that Reeve V. L. Becker asked
that the press be excluded from
the balance of the discussions.
For this reason it is not known
whether or not the council accept-
ed the resignations.
