East week.
Had Splendid Bingo!
The Bingo put on by the Ioea'1
Lions Club last Thursday evening was
a most decided success, as the at-
tendance was good, in fact all that
could be accomodated. The proceeds
amounted to nearly a hundred dollars
and the Lions have a nice little sur-
plus on hand which will be used ev-
ery dollar for civic purposes. As
your publisher happens to have the
honor of being treasurer, and should
know where the funds go. So please
don's be of the opinion that one cent
of this welfare money is being used
by the local club,. Attend these fun-
ctions if you please, with the assur-
ance that the proceeds go right back
into the community and hope to do
much good.
No January Thaw
We would like to know where that
old weather philosopher is who said
"There nover was a January without
a thaw, and i've seen thousands of
them" is at present, this is the last
day of the month and anything but
mild weather. We have haa no sign
of a thaw this January, 'anct many
people are out of cistern water, but.
some farmers who depend on surface
water for their stock are much more
in difficulty. A mild spell with a bit
of rain would help out a great many.
To -day, Wednesday is another day
of stormy, blizzard tike weather. The
roads are again filling in, the banks
are getting higher and higher, the
snow plows are unable to cope with
the situation, and spring will indeed
look good to us all whenever it does
come. Bank's are piled up along the
highways several feet higher.. than
the cars, and plowmen hardly know
where to go with it, and Stitt tee wea-
ther goes on in its wild and mad
rampage.
Where Is the Snow Plow?
Is a question we are being asked
daily, not alone by the people cut
on the back concessions, but by the
good people of Zurich, who, :if „they
are unfortunate enough not to live
on one of the main throughfares,
find themselves badly marooned and
unable to get their cars out, regard-
less of how great the emergency,. or
how well the , main roads and' high-
ways are plowed out. There isnot
very much snow on most of our
streets in town and a mile or so of
plowing would reach over a hundred
homes, whereas in the country it
would reach only one or two. Who-
ever is responsible 'for no action we
do not know, but a bit of plowing
on our streets would put many o! -our
citizens on a parr with those fortun-'
ate to live on ' a main throughfare.
This citizen pays the same taxes, has
the same auto tax to pay and then
'has to tie np his car for the winter.
Whoever is responsible, please think
this over and pep up a bit.—Citizen.
COUPONS FOR BUTTER
Ottawa, Jan. 25 — The Prices
Board said today that br.cer ration
coupons in Ration Book No. 5 have
no expiry dates and are good for the
purchase of ,butter until further not-
ice from the board.. The statement
said reports from various parts of
Canada indicated that consumers un-
necessarily using some of their valid
butter coupons under the mistaken
impression they would expire at the
end of the month.
SUPPORT WAR RELIEF' FUND—
Kitchener -- The 110,000 Mennon-
ites of Canada, whose faith forbids
participation in. war, have combined

an interview that as further field
for activities open the work will b

ried on in conjunction with the Can

be with 28 present in spite_of weather
Tile topic being "We have something

don's forget the Motion Pictures in -
the Town Hall, Zurich. The recreat-
ion took form of a crockinole match
