ZURICH SWITZERLAND tContinuedl from First page)
.A.Ithough. it. has a (population fot too,oaa), ii the ne.ighbourinC
districts are included, greater Zurich. has a. population of roughly,
half a million. +Situated. d.t3.45, feet. above sea level, Zurich is the
Capital of the. Canton, Switzerland'slargest pity and rated as an
Industrial anid 'Commercial metropolits. 'The maul impression of the
city to a tourist. is its extreme cleanliness and the elegant treelined
'avenues. We .couldnot fail to noitice the large number of langu.
ages one encountered while shopping on the busy streets. It iocften
happens that a:mil:Way, or street car coniductor rw1 answer a foreign
passenger fluently in: his iWn language..
Thie city. is . governed.by a LegiSlature .of 125 members the Gem-
einderat - .a. !Communal Counciland an Executive of, ifne tmeinbers,
the Stadtrat - Municipal ,Council. ;Both come up for election every
four years as well as, the. Stadt president who represents Zurich in
all external affairs; The voters'. rights are far reaching. They elect
the above mentioned. .councils„ the magistrates, the bailiffs; school:
teachers :and pastors.
Sports arelocal in. character. .Gyruhastics are the oldest and.
most popular form. of exercise. Rifle Shooting. is con Tor.
every Swiss service man, (There are large .covered swimming pools::
for the lake, swimmers in winter in the •city.)
In. 1856 far sighted ,statesmen •of Zurich promoted a well con4-
ceived development of the Swiss railway system, a remarkable „feat
of engineering throughnumerous mountain ranges. As we drove?
cyn the highways; literally hugging a mountain side., we would count
3 or 4 railway tracks at different levels and their tunnel entrances:.
Kloten, the. city airport has connections with iimportant world' kit --
lines.
Zurich'al sound,' economic positidn is due to its Banks and), Itr-
suran.ce.1Cornpanies. The .conasienc.e enjoyed by Swiss AnancierOs has
made the city, in. the. 20th Century, a. money and capital mar:ket, ot
'supernatural standing: We were told in an interesting c-onver5atioi.
with a.. Sivitsrestaurant proprietor, that zurich has morel
, national...wealth than any city in the world. The Stock Exchange
,also sharesinternational standing with the city's Insurance" r'ebuip-
anies.. The Zinich Life, Accident and Damage Insurance 'Ctompan-,
ies are.. among the largest 'in ,Switzerland and above them alll stands:
the iSwiSs. R'eassumance Compan3r..
Wbrkingclasses enjoy a relatively high standard at
which IS' due to the spirit of enterprise and the initiative of its popu-,
lation.., There is: a highly developed social legislation and xlittzt care
of the aged: and under -privileged. About a quarter of: Zurich's
revenue, from taxes i's spent on social welfare.
T.vo- special Htgh Dayn or holidays are olbserved each year. In,
April,. thereturn of spring is -celebrated by a.. holiday .catled Seth-.
.selauten and in September; Knabenschiessen Boy's Shouting IIVIatch.
We enjoyed a Festive Day marking the !Swilss Independence in a
small' :Swisstown high in the Fierka - Grimsel IPaSs. .rn the town.
park there was folk danoing in native costume, yodelling. and speeches
by.the iVlayor and his committee.
It: is a fine old Zurich tradition that all visitor ,s from all over-
-the -world should he worthily- received. Our welcome by these Swiss
people was genuine and we were quite amused aver their surprise
when we .made them aware that we were "Zuricintes" too - .fromkthe..,
distant land of Canada.
