Zurich Citizens News, 1967-04-13, Page 2PAGE TWO ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1967 eda4ai Carn kt 406 (BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER, CITIZENS NEWS COLUMNIST) Part Owners of a Dream Much is being said these days about the importance of attracting new industry to Huron County. In- terested persons are leaving few stones unturned in their search for small factories and concerns which will bring employment and progress to our area, and slowly the battle against tremeclous odds is being won. Although Huron County thrives primarily on its agricultural wealth, industry is moving in. Here in south Huron we have received our share of commercial developments which have helped to stimulate the economy and stabilize the local population. A quick glance over the commun- ities in our district shows a few changes: Zurich with its wood work- ing mill reactivated and a thriving rest home established just west of its boundaries in Hay Township; Hensall. with its trailer factory em- ploying more men each year: Dash - wood's planing mill growing and nec- essitating an impressive branch be- side Highway 4 in Stephen Town- ship; Exeter with a new trailer fac- tory. Newest member to the family of welcome industry in south Huron is the aircraft factory which will be opening in Stephen Township near Grand Bend by the middle of next month. Certainly none of these industries is as large as some which spring up closer to the sprawling cities and the super highways of our province, but then what would Huron County do with a multi-million dollar plant employing thousands ? How would we supply adequate housing? School- ing? Shopping? Could we begin to cope with the overnight demands for facilities and services vital to the health and happiness of ten times as many families as we have right now? Our salvation seems to be in small industrial holdings which will serve an immediate need for jobs to keep our people at home, cause no major upset in the scheme of things here and be ready to grow with the com- munity. Maybe it is a large order, but somehow through the efforts of someone we are realizing that dream. The Power of Advertising The Maple Syrup Festival 1967 is just a memory now, but Zurich per- sons involved in the Bean Festival here can learn from Saturday's events in Elmira. Reports are that things were crowded in the Waterloo County town, so much so that long lines of people waited for pancakes and syrup and for bus rides to the sugar bush. The weatherman co-operated again this year and may have been partly responsible for the arrival of close to 20,000 persons but some credit must go to the hard working, enter- prising Elmira and area residents who have capitalized on a bit of local color. If there were any adverse com- ments about the Festival, they were simply that the crowd was too large to be accommodated with ease. Some visitors felt the Festival was much more commercialized than ever be- fore and that much of the homey atmosphere was lost in the confusion of thousands of hustling, shoving men, women and children. One thing is certain. When in- vitations are extended by the thou- sands to people all over the province, the host had better be prepared for anything. Estimates are only edu- cated guesses and not too satisfac- tory when deciding amounts and fa- cilities for an affair like a maple syrup festival or a bean festival. Too many people going away dis- appointed with quality and quantity will spread undesirable rumors about an event which could have been top rate had the crowd been smaller. Perhaps advertising and promo- tional materials should be used with a little more discretion to avoid dan- gerous overcrowding and possible failure another year. Cancer Campaign Upcoming Of all the hideous diseases which prey on modern man, none is so dreaded by so many as cancer. Men- tion of the word is enough to send thoughts of pain and suffering and death through the minds of anyone who has come to grips — directly or indirectly — with the ailment. While medical science still does not know all the answers concerning the cause and cure of cancer, great strides have been made in recent years. In an increasing number of instances, cancer can be curbed or cured if the patient gets to his doc- tor in time. Early detection and diagnosis are still the best weapons against cancer. That's why the Cancer Society spends so much money advertising the message over and over. Doctors, too, are becoming better informed. Where a few years ago a general practitioner may have wasted precious time in treating a strange complaint which didn't seem too critical, today the same doctor would probably refer the patient to a specialist qualified to make an ex- pert decision and perhaps, save a life. Every day, scientists are making new discoveries about cancer. One of these days, someone will hit on the solution. Until that wonderful day dawns, funds must be provided to keep men and women at work in laboratories and clinics across the world. Only through a united effort requiring millions of dollars can can- cer be licked. Campaigns will be beginning very soon in communities all over Ontario. Don't send your canvasser away with- out making some donation. Give what you can, but give. And while you are at it, run over the list of chronic complaints which may be a sign of cancer. If any of them apply to you, why not get your- self to your doctor for a check-up. It's a good thing to do once in a while anyway. rich PRINTED BY SOUTH HURON PUBLISHERS LIMITED, ZITRICH HERB TURKHEIM, Publisher J E. HUNT, Plant Superintendent Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post.

From My Window By Shirley Keller I just can't believe that it finally caught him; The American draft board such a long time has sought him. They've pinned my man down to a definite day, The last Friday in April they'll ship him away To a strange, lonesome outpost, we know not just where, In plain simple khaki he'll waste himself there. I know I've a husband, and that I'm a wife But Cassius Clay's the other man in my life. I've tried not to show it, I've hidden it well; The first time I heard him. I faltered and fell. He spoke of a kingdom that soon would be his, Then fought his way to it and a lifetime of bliss. Each time my Mohammed prepares for a match He's tougher and stronger and harder to catch. Some say he's a braggart, all mouth and no fist; I wish they'd explain why he's tops on the list Of fighters, the world over, who've fought him and lost him. Oh, what a stint in the army will cost him. Opponents, like fight fans, are hard to convince There's none finer than Cassius, before him or since. He's handsome, it's true; he's accused of sheer madness; But his ability to fight turns dismay into gladness. He's smooth and he's agile; he moves like a cat — There's no higher tribute to a boxer than that. I suppose there'll be those who will question and doubt His reason expressed for scheduling a bout With hard-headed Patterson this month in Nevada; Though he says it's a showdown and not 'cause he hadda Fair Ali is just, he desires honest title — If anything proves it, this one final fight will. Now Patterson's ready, he's said so himself. His sore back is gone and he's down from the shelf. He's beaten McMurray; he's ready for Clay; It's a moment of reckoning he hopes for that day. Though Ali has beat him, and will do so again Folks want Ali to prove that he's willing and sane. I know he's not crazy; I'm sure he's all there, But because he acts different, people point and they stare. It isn't a fight champ in a ring that 'they want .. . But a pasty, a pushover, a patriot to flaunt. In a country where men are supposed to be free Clay's ridiculed because he's unlike you and me. He'll answer his draft call and do as he's bid. Clay's not the first who wouldn't and did. He'll train and he'll march if that what it takes To make an American; to be apart from the fakes. In robes, or in fight trunks, or in army fatigues — He's the one, he's the only, the star in my league.

L. Morgan Smith, Bayfield, Liberal candidate in this riding for the next pro- vincial election, suffered from laryngitis on the afternoon of his nomination at Hensall, but his open letter to the electors of IIuron County indicates he has things to say before this is all settled. Although no specific elate has been mentioned for a provin- cial election, it is expected that Ontario Prince Minister John P. Robarts- and his government will go to the voters later this spring. Brig. Smith, also a medical doctor, charges that long time one-party control can "effec- tively effecttively stifle alternative thought a sad reflection on the democratic process". He says the present govern- ment has "aged in office" and is "foundering over policies that should have been prepared ahead of the necessity for ac- tion". He sites Atlantic Accept- ance, British Mortgage and Prudential as examples of "in- effective operations of our se- curities control". Smith also hinted at his par- ty's sympathy for the farmer by noting agriculture workers should not have "to assist our welfare state by keeping down the cost of food". Main speaker at the recent Liberal nomination meeting was Robert Nixon, Liberal leader in Ontario. In speaking of polities in the riding of Huron, Nixon. referred to it as a Tory strong- hold fora long time and said for many years all people here talked about was highways. Now they have switched to fi- nances, he quipped. Nixon pointed to the predict- ed deficit of $1.60,000,000 al - thought Provincial Treasurer Hon. C. S. MaeNaughton had previously announced no fur- ther advances or increases in. taxes during Centennial Year. MARRIAGE SEMINAR Thursday, April 13, 1967 7:30 pm.
