No matter the age or stage you are at today, life in Canada is envied by many, many people. Our muttering complaints are silly when you take a real look at other countries — yes our "problems" are definitely first world problems. War, murder, fraud, jail, graft, pollution and hunger are not on our list of daily concerns. So happy birthday Canada, may peace and plenty that make up our days be appreciated and Happy 149th Canada! We are a shared with love and concern for privileged people to live in a land others. The holidays are in full swing as visits are happening with schedules being compared, things and places being arranged, so all the moments of summer can be enjoyed. A few years ago we had a first- time Ontario visitor from Alberta who was most impressed with the waves of Lake Huron. She was convinced, it must be the ocean and now every time we visit Goderich, I truly appreciate the gem that we have in our area. Sunday was a fine day for the beach and the sand and A day for the country Members of the Brussels Legion had no rest on Canada Day, marked as Canada's birthday and a holiday for most. The Brussels Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion held a fish fry dinner on the evening of July 1, welcoming in plenty of hungry Canadians looking for a meal. Working out back of the newly -renovated Legion were Murray Lowe, left, and Barry Currie.

Something about water brings the kids out in everyone, so it's a fun place to be. Our world seems small when you talk to folks about where their kids have landed. MaryAnn Thompson and Peggy Aitchison chat about daughters in England as if they were in Slabtown. Flights arranged and money found and a trip home is no more bothersome than Winnipeg. Our world has expanded and with that goes the customs, manners, habits, language and mentality that goes with the place at hand. Our role is to open our minds to the fact that our way might not be the right way and gosh, it sure isn't the only way to do or see something. So enjoy new encounters, live and learn and enjoy the moment. Bye now, Betty G.W.
