THE DOCTOR WAS WELCOMED
ET WAS HEARTWARMING last Wednesday night to see
such a large crowd turn out to the reception for the new doctor.
A finer tribute could not possibly have been paid to any new-
comer to our village.
Seeing so many present at the reception makes us believe
that the people now realize our need for a doctor,' after being
without for several years. Undoubtedly there have been occasions
in the time when someone locally needed the services of a medical
man, and was not able to have them. As we have said before,
we hope the people will give him their full support so we can
keep him in our midst for a long time to come.
The Chamber of Commerce deserves congratulations for being
instrumental in having Dr. Klahsen come to Zurich, and also for
the fine job they did of arranging the reception for him. A
gathering such as the one held, at which every race and religion
is represented, is sure to bring' better community spirit to our
district.
CONGRATULATIONS --- LUMBERKINGS!
WE WOULD LIKE to extend our heartiest congratulations
to manager Tom Rawlings, and all the members of his Zurich
Lumberkings, who, on Saturday, won the Ontario Intermediate
"C" baseball title. It was indeed a grand finis to a terrific
season of baseball. •
It was our privilege to accompany the team to the game in
Latta, and we can say this, "The people of Zurich can indeed
be proud of their team which won the Ontario title. Their con-
duct, both on and off the ball field, was a credit to the name
of Zurich, and we are proud to have been a part of their organ-
ization.
When you think that the classification of baseball played
here is in competition with towns the size of Exeter, Mitehell, .,
Clinton or Wingham, we should be doubly proud to be able to
come up with a champion from a town of only 700 people.
Only the keen interest of local fans makes it possible to
carry on with baseball in a community such as this, and as long
as this interest exists we feel the people here will have the
opportunity of seeing top-notch baseball.
We would like to thank the ball club for giving us the
privilege to work along with them during the past season;. and
a special thanks to manager Tom Rawlings and our sports column-
ist Don O'Brien, who have been a tremendous help throughout
the season in compiling records so we may bring our readers the
facts and figures about the team.
YOUR WEEKLY PAYS FOR ITSELF
SOMETIMES you hear the complaint, "I can't pay for the
paper and I am going to cut it off". This statement is made
without giving proper thought to what your paper is doing for
you, says the Meaford Express editorially.
The wise shopper knows the value of the hometown paper
and reclaims the cost many times during the year in money
saved through study of the ads.
Every issue of your paper more than pays for itself in
news of what is happening in your town and in providing you
with advice on where you can buy things at what price.
If you don't care what is going on around you and don't
want to save money then by all means cancel your paper . . .
but not many of us are in the position that we can take the
oxygen out of the air we breathe.
COMMUNITY BETTERMENT NEEDS
MANY HANDS
(Kincardine News)
THE Elmira Signet, in a recent editorial, made the point
that "Betterment of the community is everybody's business, not
the newspaper's alone," though editors may often wonder how
small is the percentage of people realizing and recognizing the
fact.
A newspaper, the Signet goes on to say, is merely the med-
ium through which constructive criticism can be expressed.
It should not evolve entirely on the paper to present the
criticism of almost anything and everything under the sun. There
are some who also want their weekly newspaper to make and
fire the balls. (And incidentally, stand in the way of any shot
which may be returned, no matter how lethal the fire may be.)
This paper welcomes contributions in the form of "Letters
to the Editor" wherein anyone may express criticism, within
certain bounds and limits.
When an editorial appears, the identify of the writer is
known and he had best be prepared to substantiate whatever
criticism has been offered.
Is it,unreasonabie to expect others to stand in the same
position?

SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill) B. T. Smiley)
I've :been .fdll!owing the recent
move .toward some kind of church
union with bated' breath. Now that
it appears to be !peterine: out, as
!it always does, I111 urtbate my
breath and give you my opinion an
the 'whole thing.
* * :n
Protestant .Ch!risten!do!m invaria-
bly reminds me of the character
an a Ster henv Leacock story, wh'o
leaped onto his horse and rade
self in all !directions. A Jew knows
what he is. He's a Jew. A Bud-
dhiist knows he's a Buddhist. A
Catholic knows ;he's R.C.
* *
But ask a Protestant Christian
to what re'ligi'ous! !faith he sub-
scribes and he'll not say either
" :Chtristilan" ar "Protestant". He'll
tell you he's Church of England.
Or Jelinavah's Witness. Or a good
Presbyterian :Call !Pmedbyterianls
are "goad" Presbyterians). . Or a
Latter Day Saint. Or a Hornerite.
Or !any of a myriad of other
denomhnatians and sects.
:;,
I know one small town that
boasts of its godliness because it
has ten or eletverr churches, all of
different .cienominations; for a pop -
elution .of 2.;000. Now this might
be do a fine commninity of 2,000
made up entirely of eccentric mil-
lionaires. Surely tht is the height
of :folly lin a town of ordinary
woankding tpeoplle.
* *
It le like a man telling you he
has ten houses, can't afford furni-
ture For any :of !them, can't heat
them, has a 'devil' of a time pay-
ing the taxes pan them, but won't
let danylbddy else live in them be-
cause he likes !to Dive lin any one
he has a mind to, and id's e. free
country and why shouldn't he and
d!f he cam raise- the money, he's
going to build some more.
Nowhere has the diveredilcation
of gospel interpretation run so
rampant es on. this continent. Pro-
testantism in North America has
heroine, so, confused with dem'o-
ceacy that it has developed more
deno nb atiann than the French
have political, parties.
• * * *
Naw thf:s is. all very well, up
to a point. Freedom to worship
as you please is fine with me, and
if my next-door neighbour wants
to get up :at dawn, ga out d'n the
backytand and hammer his head on
the ground in the general direction
of Mecca, more. power to him,>* * *
But Pretestamtism was once a
strong and heady brew. Men sac-
rilficed for it, 'died for it, seeking
that very freedom to worship es
their minds and hearts directed
them. To see it: watered down, in-
gredients added ar thrown away,
watered and divided and dti!liuted
until no two pulps taste the
sanne, is like watching a v'igourous
giant of a youth turn into a quav-
erting, forgetful old mean.
Think what a fine thing it would
be for a small town to have one
girand, new protestant church, with
a great auditorium below for com-
munity banquets; drarna presentat-
ions and other gatherings, in plaice
of !half a 'dozen churches with
leaky roofs, outmoded heating sys-
tems and dingy basements.
QUICK CANADIAN QUIZ
1. Where and in what year was
the first practical use of elec-
i:dpitty in Canada?
2. What is the origin of the name
of Yellowknife., N.W.T.?
3. In 1957 what was greater, the
total of personal. ,savings of
:Canadians or their total tax
!payments?
4. 'I.n 'wlh!at year was the first
trans-Atlantic cable laid?
5. How anany .of Canada's 6,000-
000 labour force are members
of trade unions.?
,AtNSWiERIS : 5:- At the end of
11957 union anembershiip totalled
1;386185. 3. Personal savings tot-
alled $1.4 billion, tax payments a-
bout $9 billion. 1. In the, 1880s' &t
Quebec, when electricity was used
to light textile mills, 4. In 1858,
.from Ireland to Newfoundland. 2:

ada.
Wouldn't it be grand if all the
women's :organizations of all the
churches were banded into one
targe one, everyone working to-
gether? Think of the welfare and
missionary work that could be
done. Wouldn'!t the tongues and
fingens ,rly, and the tea flow in
gallons? 'Ilse church would be alive
with activity and prayer all
through the 'week, not just a
gloomy !setpuichre of a place,
haunted on Sundays by a smatter-
ing of bored faithfuls.
* *
Think of the great thing it would
the to haute alll the ministers work-
ing together, each doing what he
did best. The .goad organizer who
is no preacher would be put to
organizing. The types with an un-
limited tolerance for tea and sym-
pathy would be putt ...to visiting
panishtitomens. The good speakers
could deliver good sermons: pre-
pared by the good thinkers. The
hearty ,parsons :could! be steered
gently into leading youth groups
and such.
* * *
Materially and spiritually, the
town Iwo!ul'd be Mites ahead if all
the protestant den!ominat!ions set
fire r1» their present edifices; threw
,atwey their prejudices, Wilt one
:church and set out as Cluiistbi'ans
to work and worship together.
At this juncture, some ssmartt-
alec is going to ask: "Hoon healer
ytootabe toklken?" With alt due
modesty, I submit my! quhatlificalt-
ions, I !once had perfect attend-
ance at Sunday School. Before
the drink and wild women got me,
I was president, tor four years, of
a young men's. Bible ,Class. Since
I got married, I have been drag-
ged to church on quite a few oc-
casiions! when the weather was =-
suitable for outdoor activities.
