What's Happened to the Proposed Park
LAST SPRING a public meeting was held in Zurich, at which
time it was unanimously decided to spend the money left from the
centennial in a community park to the east of the arena. We under-
stood at that time the work would start very shortly in the preparing
of the ground for such a purpose.
Options were then placed on the land that it was felt necessary
3o have. The township council was asked if they would accept the
grounds in the name of Hay Township, so the necessary government
grants would be available. They agreed to do so, and everything
was ready to proceed.
NOW, however, months later, we find nothing more has been
done about the development of this park. The land has still not
been draw uptheird and by-law be aid useafor'they have not asnor hs the yet received ved the been !e to
deed
for the land.
On behalf of the many inquiries directed at us in this regard,
we are asking what the delay is and who is to blame for the hold-up.
First thing we know it will be fall fair time and the land still won't
be purchased, let alone be in condition to hold the fair on. Let's
have some action on this project and get the thing started.
Parking Problem
RECENTLY WE have had different people tell us it is very
hard to find a parking space on the main streets of our village,
especially on Friday and Saturday. No doubt we are all to blame
for this situation.
Without thinking we all park our cars or trucks on the main
street, taking up valuable space which could be left for people coming
hi from out of town. This is not very encouraging to these people
who are coming in from outside the district to shop here.
Perhaps if we all bear this in mind and make an effort to either
park behind the stores or on streets around the corner the situation
will be much better. Let's try and make Zurich a more pleasant
place for people to come and do business in.

FAREWELL PARTY
FOR AIKENHEAD FAMILY
(By our Hensall Correspondent)
A presentation for Mr. and Mrs.
Wi1'liam Aakerihead and family, of
Kippen was held at SS 14, Stan-
ley, when the wh le section met to
honor them prior to their leaving
for Beaton Ont., near Camp Bor-

Mr. and Mrs, Aikenhead were
presented with a rug and smoker,
We Hve Suffered!
"We have suffered too Tong un-
der the Act. Enforcement of 'the
provisions of the Act has 4become
virtually impossible."
We quote from a 'brief recently
presented to our Huron County
Council by two private citizens.
They.demanded that through the
County Council ,our County be
placed on record as protesting the
Canada Temperance Act.
Who have suffered? Not abstain-
ers, naturally. Not law-abiding
moderate .drinkers. They can le-
gally have liquor brought into
their homes by •coramon carrier.
Not most of OUT aiowiy families.
Our County record of broken
homes, unmarried mothers, and
destitution in general, is far be-
low that of legal -liquor -outlet
counties.
Wino have suffered? Legal liquor
vemklars, for we have no legal li-
quor outlets tin Huron. Bootleggers.
Yes, our Act has teeth. One ho-
tel keeper has had three convic-
tions for "keeping for sale", and
has .two other charges pending.
One bottle club proprietor not bong
since spent four months in jail.
Our Crown Attorney in Huron
takes action without fear or fa-
vour when infractions of the law
are reported to him, We com-
mend our County Council for its
action in 'defeating this move.
