(advt.) 40 Years Ago JANUARY, 1928 The 100 -acre farm on the Goshen Line belonging to the estate of the Iate William H. McClinchey has been sold to Mr. T. Richardson, of Tucker - smith, the price being $5,500. Sorry to report that Master Elroy Desjardine, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herb Desjardine, fell and fractured a bone in his arm. The little fellow was playing on the steps leading into the back of the house when he fell off with the said result. A man may use the mole on the back of his neck for a col- Iar button; he may ride a freight to save three cents a mile; he may light the lamp with a splinter to save matches; he may stop his watch at night to save wear; use a period for a semi -colon to save ink; and pasture his grandmother's grave to save hay. But a man of this description is a scholar and a gentleman compared with a man who will take a newspaper and when asked to pay for it puts it back in the post office marked "refused". A quiet wedding took place on Saturday, January 14, when Edith Mae Guenther, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Guen- ther, was united in marriage to Sidney V. Baker. . The cere- mony was performed by Rev. D. McTavish, Exeter. -- (Dash- wood News) 25 Years Ago JANUARY, 1943 As we go to press we learn of the passing of Zurich's post- master, William Lingelbach Sie- bert in his 84th year. Our local bakery here in town had the experience to run out of bread on Saturday after- noon at around two o'clock when many people from the country came in far supplies. We are told one householder in town sooner than do with- out bread, she started home baking operations at five o'clock and by midnight she had a good supply on hand for the week- end. Country roads, off the main highways, are very bad and farmers have a big time getting to town for their supplies. In many instances they have taken to the fields with horses and sleds. A very beautiful little daugh- ter has arrived to stay at the home of Mr and Mrs. Rennie Denomme. This completes a dozen sons and daughters.

Zur iclb, Of about 1400 licence plates normally sold at Mr. Willert's office, fewer than 150 were picked up by Monday noon. Apparently Zurich end area motorists are following the trend in Ontario. Provincial department of transport offi- cials estimate that total sales are lagging nearly two per, Bent behind last year's pace. By mid-January, half way through the three-month peri- od for getting the new blue -on - white plates, only 17.3 per cent had been sold, the department of transport reports. The figure for passenger vehicles was 330,- 400, leaving an estimated 1,- 579,000 ;579,000 still to be obtained be- fore the February 29 deadline. It's a new program on tel vision. It's called "Heart Heart". At 7 p.m. a man we' call Mr. Smith collapses in 'hi home. His wife quickly su mons the doctor. At 7:15 t doctor arrives and pronounce Mr. Smith dead. Some type o flying machine is called an Mr. Smith is rushed to the near est hospital. The machine ar rives at 7:30 and the body o Mr. Smith reaches the hospit at 7:45. An immediate opera tion is ordered and commence at 8 p.m. According to th doctor who arrived at the scene Mr. Smith was dead at 7:15. It's a quick operation. I•t ha to . be. Within a few minute Mr. .Smith's heart is remove and another transplanted. Th patient is dead, but the trans plant operation brought hi back to life, Sounds incredible? Perhaps but it will happen. I couldn't help but think of this while viewing W5 the other Sunday on the CTV network. The in- terviews with Dr. Barnard and the patient were informative and interesting. It's only a matter of time when doctors all over the world will be performing the heart trans- plant, just as easily and suc- cessfully as they remove ton- sils. When will the scene describ- ed above take place? Certainly before the year 2000. I'll pre- dict 1994. That's only 26 years from now. And it will all be seen on TV. Television has covered every major historic event since the late 1940s. The industry, or some form of it, will continue progressing. Educational TV will be old hat. Shopping will be done by television. Telephonvision will have arrived. What a world! Oh, to be born in 1968. e- tc 11 s sur s f d f al s e s s d e n1 At the same time last year, 352,000 plates had been sold-- 19.1 per cent of the total, If the trend continues, line- ups in the last few days of February could be the heaviest on record. The increased num- ber of vehicles to be licenced, 65,000 passenger cars mare than last year, is a contributing factor. Plates have been on sale since December 1, at 280 issu- ing offices across the province for the 1,910,000 passenger vehicles and the 200,000 dual- purpose vehicles (mostly sta- tion wagons) ,and motorcycles, The 1968 licences for com- mercial vehicles, trailers and version units will go on sale March 1. 0 ST.
