Feels let down after
It's been over for a week,
Fred Haberer said, sum-
ming up recollections of his
job as Huron Conty's 1981
warden.
"I feel let down," he ad-
ded. "Someone else has
taken over."
It was not that Haberer
was disappointed, or that the
events of his wardenship
were unmemorable - there
were just so many of them.
It is a full time 'ob he said
explaining that over the
course of the year he at-
tended about 300 business
and social functions.
There were fairs, meetings
of farm organizations, lodge
and fraternities and four
125th anniversaries, in-
cluding that of the Zurich
reeve's own village.
Haberer himself com-
mented on the various hats -
jobs - he wore.

A sled for Jake
By Robert Hoffman
Grade 8
St. Boniface School
It was December 25, 1852.
Jake woke up in the middle
of the night. He had only one
word on his mind - Christ-
mas' Jake climbed over top
his brother who yelled out
"Quiet!" Jake said, "Or
you'll wake up Ma and Pa!"
Jake ran out of his room
and down stairs. On the
fireplace hung his socking,
all fat and lumpy! He ran
over and reached in. He pull-
ed out an orange! Jake dug
in deeper and found
something he never dream-
ed he would get. It was a
beautiful pair of mittens!
He knew they would be
warm when he walked to
school in the winter. He also
pulled out some cinnamin
sticks. His father then came
out and said, "You better fill
the wood box, Jake.
Jake opened the wood box
and inside was a sled! A
paper on it said, "To Jake.
From Ma and Pa. It was the
best Christmas Jake ever
had.
YOUNG GRANDPA'S
CHRISTMAS
By Chris Miller
Grade 7
Christmas was quite dif-
ferent when Grandpa was
a boy.
When he'd get his present it
would be a wooden toy.
The tree was laced with
candles instead of
coloured lights.
AIt would be very humble
compared to our lit up
nights.
Everyone would gather
tl 'round to sing a Christmas
hymn,
And though their house was
small, love would fill it to
the brim.
Offering a prayer of thanks and
hoping that the beauty of the Holy Birth
will surround you at Christmastide.

THE BIG PREPARATION
By Chris Miller
Zurich P.S.
"Ho, Ho," laughed Santa
Claus one winter night,
"Come little elves, let's
really make a sight.
There's lot's to be done.
Let's go. Pitch in.
We must get a move on.
We'll surely raise a din.
Get to work, little elves.
Get going on the toys.
I'll start my long list of good
girls and boys.
Now Dasher, now Dancer,
now Prancer and Vixen!
It's been a long summer and
the house needs a fixin.'
The sleigh needs repairing.
The deer must be fed.
I must get out my Santa suit
all white and red.
What a night! What a sight! I
must test the snow
OrI'll never get down to the
houses below"
Then, after three hours of
running about
Santa climbed into bed and
the lights went out.

TWAS THE NIGHT
BEFORE CHRISTMAS
By Margaret Giesen
St. Patrick's, Lucan
Grade S
Twas the night before
Christmas and in the hotel
There was no room for Mary
and Joseph.
No rooms left to sell.
All that was left,
Was a little old shack.
Where the holy couple spent
the night
With a cow named Black.
Jesus was born in this little
shack,
And to all it was plain to see.
This is the way God had
wanted it,
Yes he meant it to be.

Z urich's 125th an-
niversary, Haberer had the
triple role of county warden,
village reeve and chairman
of the anniversary com-
mittee.
To that as well could be
added that fact that Haberer
is also a Zurich
businessman. 'F
The former warden ex-
plained that a lot of his work
on village council was left to
council members and to
Zurich Clerk Sharon
Baker.
He told Wednesday's
Zurich council that
customers are now phoning
Haberer Concrete Products
in Z urich, and asking not
for Fred, but for Steve
Haberer. Some are taken
aback he said to find him
back on the job.
Haberer said he probably
shouldn't have taken on the
extra job of anniversary
chairman, but he was
pleased that a Zurich
representative was warden
during the 125th celebration.
Feeling he had something
to offer the county, Haberer
decided to run for the
warden's position in 1981,
because it was the an-
niversary year.
He added that he thought
Zurich was one of the few
mtinictpalities that had
never been represented by a
warden.
The fact that Z urich was
having its 125th anniversary
in 1981 probably had little
effect on his election,
Haberer said.
The Zurich reeve
narrowly edged Howick
reeve Harold Robinson in the
1980 election. Haberer won
the count, 16 votes to 15.
The wardens one year
term is more a position of
honor than of administration
Haberer said. He explained
that there really wasn't the
MY TOBBOGAN 1856
By Denis Hartman
St. Boniface
Grade 8
The day started off with
me cleaning the pig and cow
pens, and it isn't a pleasant
way to start Christmas. But
as soon as I was done and
washed up I headed for the
outhouse.
Inside was a new tob-
boggan. I yelped with joy. It
was a small, red and black
with long runners. All day I
was playing with it that I
didn't even ask if it was
mine.
hectic
time to get involved with the
"meat" of any issue.
You just get comfortable
in the position he said, and
the year is over.
On his election, Haberer
noted that Huron was
primarily an agricultural
county, but that the county
would need some form of
industrial expansion if it is to
keep a larger portion of its
young people. He suggested
increased tourism as one
avenue.
These are issues he is
interest in but said in light of
current economic conditions
there wasn't much that could
be done.
He said he was pleased the
county was able to make
"inroads on control of
woodlot cutting."
It was a process of
educating people Haberer
explained. People look at it
as the county controlling
their personal activities, not
a county -wide problem of
loss of wooded area.
He added that it was also
important to maintain ,the
county's natural wter
reservoirs too. The county
would be left like a desert; he
said if rain water was
allowed a mad rush to the
lake.
Haberer felt his position as
warden helped advance
these concerns.
He noted that the
development committee was
looking for leadership.
Haberer said he hoped he
was able to provide it.
Each department, he
added, is equally important.
Health, roads and other
areas of county concern are
all very important.
"We were able to negotiate
wages for '81 and '82,"
Haberer said of employee
relations.
Though he didn't claim to
be responsible for the good
harmony of county council,
Haberer noted one of the
things he tried to accomplish
was to bring people together.
He said he didn't try to
divide members on any
issues.
While he thought about
trying for the job for another
year, he noted it was "a very
heavy year". Haberer
wondered if a person's
health could stand up to the
pace for a second term.
You're also apt to get
defeated Haberer admitted.
The tradition within the
system is to pass the job on
to another.
Haberer said he felt before
his election that there was a
year
split in the interest of urban
and rural viewpoints.
A year as warden changed
his thinking.
"All representatives of
municipalities have a
common goal" the former
warden said." (That is) to
present the best for our
citizens."
NJ said it was a good
feeling to prove that an
"urban person" could be
elected to the warden's
position.
Zurich's 125th an-
niversary was probably the
high point of the year, but
Haberer said a convention in
Winnipeg was also "an in-
teresting experience".
It was one of ten con-
ventions Haberer attended,
and the only one outside the
province.
"Put too much of this in
and you'll scare off any
potential candidates for the
job," Haberer quipped as he
explained the numerous
events the warden was ex-
pected to attend.
Haberer said there was a
lot of personal satisfaction in
his year as warden.
But, "so much was hap-
pening in the year - it was
just everyday- it's hard to
say one thing is
memorable".
He advised it was a job
that had to be experienced.
