WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1959 LET'S ALL GO TO THE FAIR FALL FAIRS have been treated a bit roughly by the all- important weatherman this season. And there are continuing signs that the popularity of these "exhibitions" has been losing some ground in recent years. Theremall abcountry en afar nge al feeling uld no among larger centres that the longer exist. • Not surprising, then, that the directors andbother officials tficcia s of the Zurich Fall Fair are hoping for all tmay well decide the size of success of this gratifying ne n ar century to ere old agricultural show. It would be gratifying the arena packed on Saturday night, and again on Monday after- noon and evening. These are the days that include the end of summer and the beginning of fall. Why not make the most of such an occasion? The Fall Fair can still be the year's liveliest social event—a gay get-together for the village folk and their country cousins. The livestock show ring provides an opportunity to view top-notch cattle, and the 4-H Clubs exhibits gives parents a chance to see what their children are accomplishing. Another stimulating feature of the Zurich Fall Fair is the Horse Show, which will be presented in the Arena on Monday night. Those who remember the show last year will sure want to be present at this outstanding event, which will be still more colourful than last year. A few people put a lot of effort into making the annual Fall Fair a success, and the least the rest of the people can do is to attend the event. Those who ng so for their own personal enjoymen, promote the not but for the good of� he community. ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS .1.21011041111110. 40 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 1919. Mr. and Mrs. John Geiger and children, Pigeon, Michigan, visited with relatives here over the week- end, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Bissett and children, Saltford Heights, visited at the home of the latter's moth- er, Mrs. F. Hess, Sr., over the weekend. • An Ottawa dispatch informs us that at a recent sale of pure bred Holstein cattle held in that city last week, Mr. J. J. Merner, Sea - forth, was the purchaser of seven heads of the choicest animals, one particularly fine yearling heifer costing him over $1,000. Mr. John Morgan, Usborne Township, a farmer, was selected as the Liberal standard bearer for South Huron for the Provincial election. Mr. John Zettel and family have left. for Kitchener where t they will make their home. YOUR LAST CHANCE WIN OR LOSE, Saturday's ball game here will be the final home game for the local team this year. Even if they defeat the visiting club, the third game is slated to be back in Milton. This has been a successful year for the Zurich Lumberkings, and their fans should be justly proud of them. Their loss on Sunday was only the third time this season they have been beaten, and had it not been for the fact they have been idle for two weeks we doubt they would have lost the game. We have the greatest of confidence in our club, and are quite sure they will still come through with victory in this final series. The fact that this game on Saturday will be the final home stand for the locals should see the ball park jammed to capacity with people. When you consider that this team, from a village of only 750 people, is competing with a club from a town of over 5,000, it should make one realize the sports enthus- iasm in this district. No finer tribute to a great bunch than to see everyone out at the game will appreciate your support. THE FAMILY CAR 1 N M OST Canadian homes there is an automobile which could be described as the family car. While the father normally owns, insures and drives the car, it is frequently used by other members of the family and probably in some instances by friends. It is most important, therefore, that the owner of a car and his family should be aware of the effect of a recent judgment in the Supreme Court of Ontario. In this particular case the automobile concerned had been owned by a woman who, during her lifetime, carried liability insurance. Following her death a daughter, who was executrix of the estate, permitted a friend to drive the car. Unfortunatly the friend was involved in a serious accident. When a lawsuit followed it was assumed that, in the event of the driver and the estate being found liable, the insurance company would pay the claim. As it turned out, however, the company refused payment. It contended that the contract for insurance, so far as it was a contract of indemnity against third party liability, was a personal contract between the deceased and the company and terminated on the death of the named insured. This contention was upheld by the Court with the result that the estate and the driver are now liable for the full claim amount- ing to $31,492.96. This judgment has very serious implications. It means liability insurance on the family car automatically ceases on the death of the owner. This would appear to be the case even if the car were being driven by a wife or child who had been normally in the habit of driving it. It is imperative, therefore, that Trust officers and others concerned with the administration of estates contact the insurance agent immediately upon the death of the owner of an automobile. He is the person qualified to assist in taking whatever steps may be necessary to make certain that liability insurance is maintain- ed until the car is transferred to the new owner. It would be most unwise to permit the car to be used for any purpose whatsoever until this step has been taken. - •- r Canada Trust Bulletin) . of athletes can be paid on Saturday. The boys .OF . YEA a" S GONE ,,BYna 15 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 1944 Large crowds were on hand for the Hillsgreen anniversary serv- ices on Sunday, as this is one of the most interesting events of the year. Mr. E. M. Dagg and family, Lucan, called 'on friends in town on Saturday evening, and they were a.ccompanied home by their son, Milton, who has been engaged in the offices of Kalbfleisch mills for the summer. Mr. John Dick, Oakville, ac- companied by Mrs. Dick, Hensall, visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Douglas, at Blake, on Monday. Gordon Manson left last Mon- day for Stratford, where he will attend Normal School. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Deters, Zurich, visited with Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Kraft in Dashwood, over the weekend.

Smiley) time last year. I wrote a tender, lyrical column, practically an ode, about September. The golden, lingering days; the cool, haunting evenings; the farewell fling at the trout; the last, crisp game of volup- tuous, oold Mother Nature lying, amid the fruits of her labour. Yas, September is the most delightful month of the year, I burbled. when it's all soft from those fall It seems to me that about this Mr. and Mrs. Mervyn Tiernan and Nancy are spending a few days in Windsor and Detroit this week, with friends and relatives. The recent hel fine to the farmers been a big P who still have some beans and buckwheat to harvest. The Exeter High School re- opened last week with an enrol- ment of close to 200. Mr. Rudy Oesch has returned to his work at the Kalbfleisch mills after being Iaid up with in- juries for some weeks. Mr. and Mrs. James Windsor, were guests former's uncle, Mr. Thomas Dinsmore and ma Dinsmore. Mr. and Mrs. Remi Denomme, Drysdale, visited the latter's sis- ter at Chatham over the weekend. Mrs. Ivan Yungblut and Mrs. Herb Krueger are enjoying a pleasant holiday with relatives in Midland, Michigan. The publisher of the Zurich Herald, Chester L. Smith, met with a painful accident when his hand got caught in. a pulley at the new pumphouse, and he had to have his thumb amputated at the first joint. . * * * Dinsmore, with the and Mrs, Miss Em- * Well, I take it all back.

Things are going to be dif- ferent this year." * * * So you see, it isn't as though I wasn't fairly well prepared. But I didn't expect my old sweetheart, September, to putt me over a bar- rel, pull the rug from under my feet, lower the boom on me, and stab me in the back, all in one fell swoop. This September has scarred me for Iife, and has also clipped a few years from my alloted span of same. What happened? I got naught with my pipes down. * * * On September 9, it was 90 de- grees in our upstairs, and we all lay around on our beds, naked as newts, gasping and calling for water. On September 14, it was 44 in our upstairs. The kids lay moaning with cold under heaps of blankets. Downstairs Playboy howled with chill. And in our bed,' the Old Lady and I, swaddled in flannelette pyjamas, clutched each other, a hot water bottle, and the hope that a miracle would happen and the heat wave would be back in the morning. Zurich fall fair has again made history, with the best fair for many years being held last Tues- day. The weather was ideal, and more entries were shown than in any past year. Mr. and Mrs. John Oesch, Pig- eon, Michigan, were visitors with relatives here during the 'past week. Milfred Schilbe, Leroy O'Brien, William O'Brien, and Lee Hoff - men were in Detroit last week, taking in a few games of Ameri- can merican League baseball. Wednesday afternoon of this week is the last of the half holi- day season for the year 1934. A very happy matrimonial event took place on Wednesday when Rev. E. Burn united in marriage Edna Gingerich and Harold Johnston. They will reside in Zurich. Philip Bedard, Tilbury, called on friends here the early part of the week. At the congregational meeting of the Evangelical. Church last Thursday evening it was decided not to hold a fowl supper this year. Garbed only in a bran sack which he secured from a barn a few minutes previous, Victor Pal- mer presented himself on the farm home of Thomas Snowden, seeking food and shelter. Palmer is announced by physicians to be of unsound mind and known as a former innate of an institution. He said he spent three days and three nights on Lake Huron, in a rowboat, after putting out from Point Edward. 10 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER, 1949 Miss Pauline Haberer left this week to resume her duties for an- other year at Waterloo College. Morris Weber entertained 11 of his employees, along with Ivan Kalbfleisch and Lawrence Bris- son, to a chicken dinner at his lovely cottage at Schade-View. Clayton Ortwein acted as master of ceremonies for the occasion. John Gellman is able to go about again with the aid of crut- ches, after having his foot injured at the Kalbfleisch planing mills. Don Oke, Herb Turkheim and Victor Edighoffer have returned home after a pleasant motor trip to North Bay, Pembroke, Ottawa, Hull, Kingston and Toronto. Their tour covered over 1,100 miles, al- ong with good luck and fond me- mories. 'Farmers are still quite busy drawing in their bean crops, which are heavy this year, and of a good quality. Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Restemay- er, London, were weekend visitors with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Restemayer, in Dashwood. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Corriveau, of the Bluewater Highway, celebra- ted their 25th wedding annivers- ary last Friday night, September 16. Misses Matilda, Susie and Alice Johnston, Kitchener, and their cousin, Harold Johnston, Toronto, called on friends in town on Mon- day. * * I thought the old Girl was going to commit either suicide or murd- er, that first morning after the mercury had taken its swan dive. I explained to her that everything was practically ready to turn on the heat, that all I had to do was get the pipes cleaned and put up, get the man to fix the furnace, and get the cellar cleaned up and the coal in, and we'd be in business. * * *. "Which hotel", she enquired, her breath wreathing into the kitchen air like cigar smoke, "are we go- ing to stay in until then?" We have two hotels in town so I was in a quandary. Not to mention a pickle. September is an irresponsible, treacherous harlot of a month, with a big, phoney, warm senile that hides a heart of solid cold. * * * Oh, it isn't as though I didn't realize that fall and the cool weather were on the way. Sun- days, as I lay on the lawn, several times my mind had drifted around to the backyard, where my furn- ace pipes lay, soaking up the sun. I'd even contacted the repair man to come and take on that dragon in my cellar, that emits sparks and roars when approached. My stoker, that is. Federation Fieldman Explains efieiency Payment For Eggs (By J. Carl Hemingway) I hadn't intended to write any more about the deficiency pay- ment plan for eggs but in talking to a few producers I find that the idea is not too clear so will en- deavour to cover some of the points. NOTICE VILLAGE OF ZURICH Daylight Saving Time Will End On Saturday Midnight, September 26, 1959 BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES Village of Zurich :k N: * I did everything in my power to cheer up that old gang of mine. Songs, witty sayings, funny faces. Philosophy, like "you should be glad you don't have to suffer like this all the time, like the folks in Russia." I rushed out and borrow- ed two electric heaters. I turned on all burners and the oven in the electric stove. I even turned on all the lights in the house. N * * • I had even, while fighting the heat wave with a refreshing drink, said to myself firmly: "Must get at the cellar and get last winter's ashes out so I can get the coal in early this year. Don't want the coal truck driving over the lawn a: * * It was hopless. They just sat there, hands tucked in their arm- pits, looking like three penguins and a seal pup sitting on an ice floe. I went to work with my tail between my legs and the bats of panic in my belfry. It was worse at lunch hour. While I bustled around, getting hot soup, the kids rubbed their hands to- gether and told about how warm it had been in school, and my wife dragged from me the confession that we had a fire on at the of- fice. ; a.. r .rata I won't go into all the sordid details: how I pleaded with people (Continued on Page Three) the end of the year is found to be 28 cents. Under these circum- stances a deficiency payment of three cents for the first 4,000 doz- en would be paid or a maximum of $120. Again let us suppose that half the A large eggs sold for 34 cents, and during the year half the eggs sold for 28 cents, obvi- ously the average would be 31 cents and there would be no de- ficiency payment. The above could happen. At present eggs are being quoted at 42 cents, thus the same number will have to be sold at 20 cents to bring the average down to 31 cents. Fourth. in order to qualify for the payment the producer must register. These cards are available at any registered egg grading sta- tion and the producer's eggs must be marketed through an egg grad- ing station though not necessarily the same one for the year. In the case of hogs the only hi - formation that I feel is definite enough for publication is that the support level again will not be $23.65 but rather the weighted average price which I am told will be $22.64,. First the present support price of 33 cents to the producer in this area will not be the basis for establishing the amount of de- ficiency payment. As I Under- stand it, the support price will be the average support price for Grade A large eggs across Can- ada. Therefore it will be some- thing less than 33 cents. Second, the deficiency payment will be paid on the first 4,000 dozen A large and A extra 1 arge eggs, sold by any one producer. There is no deficiency payment on medium or small eggs. Third, the amount of the defic- iency payment will be the differ- ence between the average sup- port price and the average market price across Canada for the spec- ified grades. Let us take a couple of examp- les. Suppose the average support price is 31 cents. Let us suppose that the average market price at Business and Professional Directory AUCTIONEERS DENTISTS ALVIN WALPER PROVINCIAL LICENSED AUCTIONEER For your sale, large or small, courteous and efficient service at all times.
