Early Pioneers
(Continued)
Commenting on the early
pioneers of this parish, re-
cently we were approached by
someone who was much im-
pressed about the early set-
tlers in this parish and its sur-
roundings, their native homes,
their places of birth, their na-
tionality and in all their fam-
ilies, their background and the
nature of work they were ern-
ployed in in their native land.
All of this was hard to anwer
but we assume that in those
early years, there was not as
much shop and facto-- wor
therefore they worked at what-
ever they could pick up.
Yat ia"^n l from their
conversation at times was that
they did much bush work in
the winter, others had small
plots of land for gardening.

Klapp .and Raymond Playfoot,
remain in serious condition at
St, Joseph's Hospital, London,
following a two -car crash on
Highway 4 early Sunday morn-
ing. Their injuries are deter-
mined as extensive.
The car carrying the two
local youths was travelling
north on the highway when it
collided head-on with another
car driven by James Morrissey,
of the Mount Carmel area, The
Morrissey car was travelling
south at the time.

Zurich Lions Club
Initiate Four New
Members Monday
Five members of the Park-
hill Lions Club, and two mem-
bers of the Grand Bend Lions
Club, were guests at the reg-
ular dinner meeting of the
Zurich organization at the Do-
minion Hotel on Monday night.
Arrangements were discussed
at the meeting for the annual
Farmers' Night, which is to be
held on March 21. Each mem-
ber of the club is to bring a
farmer with him to this special
meeting, when the guest speak-
er will be Roy Jewell.
Four new members of the
group were officially initiated

Gascho and his committee.

Everett Richardson, a visiting

parents talking of their past
life. It was only dire need
that forced them to leave their
beloved homes When many
had wedded and where they
had spent their boyhood days,
it was hard for them to make
the decision to move into the
wilderness and that only by
the advice of the couriers de
bois who had two years previ-
ously tramped the area of this
parish. Before disposing of
their goods to raise the neces-
sary funds for their voyage
they had many meetings to talk
over their adventure. It meant
a change which could be detre-
mental to them for it could
have meant the loss of the few
dollars they had. They sought
advice from public authority
and as well from the spiritual
leader of their parish.
