WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1960 WELL DONE i This week we would like to congratulate a (local business man, Gerald Gingerieli, for the terrific job he made of staging his fifth annual "Home Improvement Show" in the Community Centre last week. As the large crowds which were present wild indicate, the show was well worth attending. We have heard many fine com- ments on the entire venture, which this year was by far the most successful in the history of the show. The rest of us cannot possibly imagine the effort put into or- ganizing this event by the local firm. Just the decorations alone in the interior of the Community Centre were beautiful to see. Hours and hours of hard work must have gone into this tedious job. A special word of praise must also be given the employees of this firm, who contributed much to the success of the show. Too many businesses today lack the ambition to get out and promote sales such as this firm does. If any other merchant were asked to stage a "one-man show" such as this one was, they would in all probability say it is far too much work for them. We believe that this is where many merchants today are making a mistake. If you don't show and tell the public what you have to sell, how do you expect theta to come to you and buy? Perhaps it would do many of us good to take a lesson in. pro- motion from an aggressive merchant such as this. We must re- member that when one particular merchant brings a customer in- to the village, it is a benefit to the entire community, not just the one merchant. There is no doubt many customers that have come to Zurich to buy a particular article, but before they leave they have also visited two or three other stores and shopped there as well,. A. bit more community effort on the part of all the business places in a village can do much to promote the welfare of all concerned. HAVEYOUR BESTSIJMMER EVER Really live.

Apparently there is a good demand this year for the onions. A Farmer's Club, near Strath- roy, has decided to take half ho- lidays on Wednesdays between April and November, and a pen- alty of $2 is to be imposed on the man who works between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m, A box social, under the auspi- ces of the Zurich Athletic Society, will be held in the Town Hall sometime in May, and the public are cordially invited to attend this function, as well as helping the athletic society. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Steinbach, Detroit, well-known in the Zur- ich district, have moved from that city to Holly, Michigan, where they occupy a small truck farm and poultry business. Joseph Schwantzentruber, of the Bronson Line, had the misfortune whale jumping off the wagon, to fracture his leg at the ankle. Dr. MacKinnon was at once called to relieve the distressed patient and sustain the fracture. Ed. Wurm left for .Simcoe. on Monday, where he shipped his fine pacing mare. 25 YEARS AGO April, 1935 Mrs, William. Reith and daugh- ter, Goldie, have returned from Watford after spending a few days with the former's sister, Mrs. Ri- chardson, Leonard Rau, after spending the past three months in Detroit, has returned to his home here for the summer months. Mrs. John Schllbe passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Earl McLeish, in Detroit, in her 71st year. Her and her husband, who pre -deceased her two years ago, lived on the Loth concession of Hay Township, prior to mov- ing to Dtroit. Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Smith, and Mr. Albert Hendrick, all of the Bluewater Highway, motored to Sarnia last Thursday, where le former purchased a threshing ma- chine. Elgin Merner, Dashwood, who underwent an operation in a Lon- don hospital last week, has re- turned home and is improving nicely. Milton Deitz has purchased the building in which he has been op- erating a garage from Arthur Edig- hoffer, and will tear down the part known as the old hotel barn. OE - YEARS GONE BY ,15 YEARS AGO eta April, 1945 Mrs. M. Corless, Clinton, is spen- ding some time at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kenneth Brea- key.

Elmer Willert, Grand Bend, has recently sold his attractive 85 - acre farin just south. of Grand Bend to Mr. Eric McIllroy. Mr. Samson Colosky, who has been at Dashwood for some time has returned to Zurich and is in residence with his niece, Mr. and Mrs. John Albrecht, where he will nuke his home. The Henrick Memorial Band in Dashwood are again resuming their rehearsals, and are looking for new members. Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Dagg and dau- ghters, Lucan, were Sunday visi- tors with friends in Zurich, also calling at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Menno Steckle, on the Bron- son Line, north of Blake. 10 YEARS AGO April, 1950 Mr. Earl Thiel and staff did a big job last week, by clearing away the remains of the old cem- ent water tank. It took many a heavy shovelful and many a big lift to get all those big chunks of concrete on the wagon. George Deichert, proprietor of the localllocker service, entertain- ed the district locker men at their district convention in the Domin- ion Hotel one evening last week. There were 27 present for the oc- casion. Clayton Bossenberry, Detroit, spent a few days last week with his cousin, Leonard Wagner. Farmers were off to a good start with their seeding on Monday, and although it was cold they don- ned their sheepskins and rode the tractors, Lorne E. Hay, Hensall, has pur- chased the coal and locker busin- ess in that village from William R. Davidson. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Birk and family, Guelph, spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Schatz and Mrs. Bender in Dash- wood. Rev. Getz, Addison Tieman, and Bert Carr, Dashwood, are attend- ing a conference in New Hamburg this week. Improvements In Milk Marketing Plan Discussed By Dairy Group in Guelph (By J. Carl Hemingway) On Tuesday, April 19, United sible but in order to get a satis- Dairy-Poultry Co -Op, arranged a meeting of the Dairy groups at the O.A.C., Guelph. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss im- provement in milk marketing. Professor Halverson, of Wiscon- sin, was the guest speaker. He out- lined the method used in the Chi- cago milk shed to blend the pric- es for aII milk produced. By this plan the producer could ship his milk to whatever distri- butor he chose and his milk was used as that processor saw tit. Some might go into the bottle trade, some into powder, butter, or concentrated. At the end of each period Government appointed and distributor paid auditors totalled up the amount of milk sold in out- lets and the number of pounds produced, and thereby arrived at the price all. processors must pay. There is arrangements by which the processor who has a smaller percentage of milk going into the bottle trade was assisted in pay- ing this average price. While this does seem to be work- ing satisfactorily it is difficult and expensive to operate. In the Chi- cago area 20 auditors are requir- ed along with 20 stenographers to check the books of all the distri- butors to seeto it that the amounts of milk going into the different channels are correct and thereby be sure that the price: paid to the producers bears a proper relation- ship to the government support price. The meeting concluded that a system of pooling milk is pos- factory price some means of sur- plus disposal must be developed. In U.S. the government undertakes to do this. Recent Government ac- tion in Canada leaves little hope that our Government will do the same. The recent announcement that butter will continue to be sup- ported at 64 cents is misleading since this applies only to butter that scores 40 points on grade. I have been told that only about 10 per cent of our tenderable butter scores this high. Thirty-nine score, which is first grade butter, is be- ing offered at 62 cents and will be the main basis of price to the pro- ducer. The offer to purchase whole milk powder is also of doubtful value since this product can only be stored in seated cans and only one or two processors are in a position to do this. Also these pro- cessors will hesitate to produce this product since the government has given no assurance as to When or how much they will. purchase. To my mind the most encourag- ing development was the appar- ent willingness of all dairy groups to contribute to a fund for the ex- port of surplus by the producers themselves.

They are quite wrong. We have tradi- tions we haven't even told anyone, This legend, reprinted by request, tells of the origin of one of them. * * * Once upon a time, two or three million years ago, a Canadian cou- ple lived in a cave with their three small children, but they'd had to keep tb,e wolf away from the door somehow, and the wolf was very partial to small children. * * n Now, it was spring and things were tough. The mammoth they'd put in the deep freeze at the back of the cave was gnaw- ed to tusks and tail. The Mother had begun to eye the three small children, gaunt as they were, in a rather chilling manner. And ev- ery time the Father looked at the Mother, saliva leaked out the cor- ners of his mouth. She had a lit- tle more meat on her than the three small children. * * * As for the three small children, they took a snap at the calves of their parents every time they crawled past them, And the wolf had long since forsaken the front door. He knew well that if he whined once, he'd be hauled in, clubbed and end up as guest of ho- nour at a wolf dinner. * * * It was a tense situation, and just to make it unbearable, the Mother started agitating about the condition of the cave. She wanted all the banes picked up and dump- ed outside, the skins on the floor shaken out, and the mammoth's skeleton dragged outside, so she could get into the corners and clean. them. * * ,' Maintaining an iron self-control, the Father went to work. He knew that if he hit her, as he should, and she went down, he'd pounce on her and gobble her up. He didn't want to do that, as she was. a good woman. She always chewed the tougher pieces of meat before handing them to him. And she made the best sabre -tooth tiger soup in the neighborhood, * * * But she made a mistake when she told him to go out and get some clean sand for the floor. He B. T. SMILEY) roiled back the stone at the month, of the cave. It was a golden morn- ing, blue sky, world turning green. He took a deep breath, a quick look over his shoulder, and off, in, that order and didn't stop until he had reached The Place Where the Big Ones Are. * * When her mate failed to return, the Mother snarled: "That lousy bum. Ile never has time to do any, thing around the house, but he al- ways has time to go to They Place Where the Big Ones Are." The three small children, knowing they were living on borrowed time any- way, nodded their three small heads agreeably, though they did not have a clue about what was bothering her, as she stormed around, cleaning up. • * * By noon, the cave was tidy and the Mother was fit to be tied. She sat in the cave entrance, chewing her nails in a combination of rage and ravenousness. The three small children sat in the sun on their three small bottoms, looking worried. * * * Suddenly the Mother realized she had chewed three of her fing- ers right down to the second joint. This would never do. Sadly, but remorselessly, she fastened her gaze on the three small chil- dren. When they saw her pick up her club and advance on them, the three small children uttered three small squeaks of despair, and for- getting that they hadn't learnt to walk, got up and began to run like hell. * * * Just then, who should come strolling up, whistling, but Fa- ther? The Mother scarcely had time to hide her club behind her back. "Bet you don't know what I've got for you," beamed the dad- dy coyly, hiding something behind his back. "And I'll bet you don't know what I've got for YOU," she countered, grinning whitely, and clutching her club tighter. * But he knew her of old. Just as she swung, he leaped like a deer and she missed. Grinning hugely, he whipped from behind his back, a knotted piece of hide, (Continued on page 3) Business and Professional Directory AUCTIONEERS DENTISTS ALVIN WALPER PROVINCIAL LICENSED AUCTIONEER For your sale, large or small, courteous and efficient service at all times.
