Christmas parade
The Zurich Chamber of

change in their Christmas
plans. Mike O'Connor, head of
the local business trade com-
mittee, told the November
meeting of the Chamber the
executive has decided to
replace the lighting contest
with a Santa Claus parade. •
, The parade, a first-time
event in the village, will be
held on Thursday, December
23 in early evening. The exact
time will be announced later.
The parade will be a joint
effort between the Chamber
and the Lions Club, and plans
are well underway; O'Connor
already has a commitment.
from the village firemen to
build Santa's sleigh, and a
promise fromGerry Thiel to
supply a sleigh and horses to
carry Grade 7 and 8 students
in the parade.
President Bob Fisher read
a letter from the Bean
Festival committee stating in
future a rental of $3 per pic-
nic table will be required
which will be refundable upon
the safe return of the.borrow-
ed tables.
When the possibility that
GM dealer Bob Hamather
may close his business was
mentioned, Fisher said the
businessman has already
been approached.
"It would be a heck of a loss
if Bob moved out and no one
took his place", Fisher said.
Doug Kincaid brought up
the topic of Christmas hours
in Zurich stores; not all mer-
chants adhere to the same
opening and closing times.
O'Connor said he would ap-
proach the retailers and if he
received a positive reaction
would arrange a meeting with
them at his home.
He reminded Kincaid • the
Chamber has no right to dic-
tate hours, and can only sug-
gest that all merchants abide
by the same guidelines.

the nominating committee,
presented the names of the,
executive for 1983 to the

ecutive council chairman
