TrusteesReceive Acclamation For
Village Council; Only 30 at Meeting
The 1958 board of trustees for
the village of Zurich were put
back into office by acclamation
at the nomination meeting held in
the town hall last Friday night.
They are Lloyd O'Brien, Leroy
Thiel, and Harold Thiel. Two
others, Tom Meyers and Herb Tur-
kheim were nominated, but both
declined to qualify for the posi-
tion of trustee.
Only about 30 ratepayers turn-
ed out to the meeting which was
conducted by Albert Kalbfleisch,
who acted as chairman for the
evening.
In addressing the meeting, chair-
man of the board Lloyd O'Brien,
outlined the work which has to be
done in the village during the past
year. He stated that the biggest
program had been the construction
of many new sidewalks. The group
was warned that the one well will
probably have to be replaced dur-
ing the next year.
In discussing the village hydro
system. Mr. O'Brien said he would
like to see new streetlights on
the main streets of Zurich within
the next few months. He spoke
also in favour of the new plan
for flat rate water heaters, with
the possibility of flat rate heating
as well in the future.
Another trustee, Leroy Thiel,
told of how he had enjoyed his
first year on the council. He ex-
plained the hiring of a manager
for the Public Utilities, and also
how he would like new street -
lighting.
The third trustee, Harold Thiel,
advised the group of the renova-
tion of the old fire truck into
a PUC vehicle, and said it was
working out very good.
Secretary of the the trustee
board, W. H. Brokenshire, explain-
ed the financial statement of the
village, pointing out that the wat-
er system has an estimated bal-
ance of $600 as of December 31,
and the village has an estimated
surplus of $3,137, as of the same
date. Mr. Brokenshire described
the system used for one depart-
ment of the village to loan money
to another during the year, in that
way they are keeping the interest
money in the village.
P.U.C. manager Milfred Schilbe
talked briefly on flat rate water
heaters, and gave a short resume
of the work done the past year.
Several of the ratepayers pres-
ent questioned what had been done
in regards to the moving of the
township office off the village st-
reet. Mr. O'Brien replied that the
trustees have been after the town-
ship council continually, but they
had still done nothing about it.

Want Ads In
Citizens News
Bring Results
Once again it has been prov-
en that want -ads in the Citi-
zens News bring fast results.
In last week's issue Stanley
Gingerich had a notice that
his dog was lost, with a des-
cription of the same.
The paper is delivered to the
farms in this area shortly be-
fore noon, and shortly after
dinner Mr. Gingerich had a
call from Delbert Geiger ad-
vising him that he had found
his dog.
Producing results as fast as
that is sure to pay off for
anyone who has anything to
sell, wants to buy something,
needs help, or has lost or
found something. And it is
so easy to place a want -ad,
just call Zurich 133, or drop
into the office next to Tasty -
Nu Bakery.
er, who was present at the meet-
ing, told the gathering he had tried
hard to have council do something
about moving the building during
the past year, but he added that
they had three new men on their
council this year and he did not
want to crowd them too hard for
the first term of their office.
Most of the ratepayers present
felt the village should present a
petition to the township council,
demanding action be taken as soon
as possible on the erection of a
new building for their offices.

Hay Township reeve V. L. Beck-
.er and his entire council were re-
turned to office by acclamation
following the nomination meeting
in the township hall, Zurich, last
Friday afternoon. Although 15
nominations were posted for eight
positions on council and school
area board no one qualified for
office in any other department
than that which they already held.
Along with reeve Becker will be
deputy -reeve Alex Mousseau and
councillors Karl Haberer, John
Corbett and William Davidson.
Leonard Erb, Elmer Rowe, and
Lloyd Hendrick were returned for
a two-year period on the school
area.
Fifteen Nominations
Nominations at the meeting
were as follows: reeve, V. L. Beck-
er, Alex Mousseau; deputy -reeve,
Alex Mousseau, Karl Haberer;
councillors, Karl Haberer, John
Corbett, Gordon Coleman, Leonard
Merner, Lloyd Hendrick, William
Davidson, Elmer Rowe; school ar-
ea board, Leonard Erb, Elmer
Rowe, Lloyd Hendrick, Harry
Armstrong.
Hay Township clerk and return-
ing officer W. H. Brokenshire ac-
cepted the nominations, and acted
as chairman for the meeting,
which was attended by pupils of
Mrs. G. Lavender, principal of the
Zurich Public School. About 125
persons attended.
Reeve Speaks
In his address reeve Becker told
the gathering it had been a busy
year for the council. Many new
drains have been passed, and a
new township truck was bought.
Referring to the work of the
county council Mr. Becker told
of the passing of the clerk treas-
urer, and how fortunate they were
in having a man such as J. G. Ber-
ry to replace him.
One minutes silence was observ-
ed in memory of • the late A. H.
Erskine, former clerk treasurer
of Huron County.
Mr. Becker said next year would
see the final payment on the new
Court House in Goderich. He spoke
briefly about the work done on
county roads, referring to the pro-
gram carried out on the Goshen
Line south of Zurich, adding that
he hoped the next year would see
completion of this road.
In regards to the County Home
Mr. Becker said this had been one
of the main subjects of County
council during the past year. The
old building has been termed a
fire trap, and this was the reason
for the plans being called for a
new home.
"As far as the rabies threat is
concerned," added Mr. Becker, "we
have been advised by the county
veterinarian, Dr. MacLennan, Sea -
forth, that the situation in Huron
was not too serious as yet" In
concluding his address, Mr. Beck-
er warned persons to beware of
stray dogs which could possibly
carry rabies.
Deputy -Reeve Disagrees
The deputy -reeve of Hay Town-
ship, Alex Mousseau, said he dis-
agreed with the county council on
the new county home situation,
He said he had information from
"higher ups" advising that a 202
bed home in Huron is not neces-
sary. "At present there are only
100 people in the home", said Mr..
Mousseau, "with only three wait-
ing. Add to this the 30 elderly
people residing in other hospitals
in the county and you still are
a long way from needing a 202
room home."
Referring to the work in the
township the deputy -reeve told of
the new bridge that had been
built and of other road mainten-
ance. He explained some of the bad.
luck the township had had with
the grader during the past year.
Councillor John Corbett said
that with several tmforseen pro-
jects which cropped up the expen-
ses in the township ran higher
than the council had planned on.
He referred as an example to the
new bridge which had to be built
on the Percy Campbell sideroad,
which they had not planned on re-
placing before it broke down.
Mr. Corbett said there had
been differences of opinions at
times on the council during the
past year, but it always ended
