NEWS FROM BRUSSELS Find a job or advertise a job on the Jobs In Huron section of our website at www.northhuron.on.ca Play rings true despite being 80 years old The wonders of April are with us, you know, you wonder what the weather will be in the next hour. Sunday afternoon certainly brought that home. Dry roads in the afternoon soon moved into inches of sloppy slush, making driving most unpleasant. Oh well, it’s April Co-operation was the word, as “Epic Youth Presents” offered shows on the weekend at Blyth Festival. The presentation was The Good Soul of Szechuan by Bertolt Brecht a German born in 1898 and translated by David Harrower. High school students, the Blyth Festival, theHuron County Library, the BlythLion’s Club, Farthest Star, the Boardof Education and the Ontario Arts Council all co-operated to give the young people a chance to really “do theatre”. For us it was a reminder that no matter how things change, they really are quite the same. Words and scenes from this 1930’s play could be seen and heard in many parts of Huron County today. The story line was that there are bad people everywhere, but as long as one person keeps doing good, the world is not lost. The students did an excellent job in all the roles of live theatre production. The familiar names to us were Andrew Watson, Emily Kerkhof and Becca and Beth Beardsley. Good job to all and thanks for the reminder that good people have an important place in the world.

By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-9231 A NOTE FROM BETTY At the Branch Agromart hosts dinner By Jo-Ann McDonald There was activity at the Brussels Legion Branch almost every day last week. The Cadet Corps met on Tuesday evening as usual. They practised their drill and required lessons for each level of Cadets. They are still collecting pop cans and returnable bottles and they can be dropped off at the Branch on Tuesday for pickup on Tuesday evening. The Brussels Agromart held its annual customer appreciation and meeting day on Wednesday at the Branch. Their day began at 9 am. with a breakfast and then presentations on the coming crop year were made. The Thursday night dart league had 15 players taking aim at the boards. Winners were: first, Roger McHardy and Daisy Wong; second, Harry Smith and Marlene Rutledge; high shots, Daisy, 125 and Bush Whittard, 104. The Friday night supper of turkey pot pie and biscuits was enjoyed by a smaller crowd. This week will be roast pork. The Saturday afternoon euchre had 10.5 tables in play. Winners were: first, George and Deanna Bacon, 77; second, Joann MacDonald and Dorothy Carter, 75; third, Doreen and Marjorie, 74; low, Frank and Betty Hulley, 45; lone hand, Marie Stewart and Eileen Sellers. The silent auction had a good turnout for the day with around 60 bidders for the day. Comrades of the Branch supplied about 115 beautiful items for the auction and a delicious array of baked goods was offered. We appreciate all the Comrades for their donations and support of the good people of Brussels. Comrades helping out for the auction included Sandra Josling, Heather Dauphin, Lisa Glanville, Linda Bird, Deb Caan, Jo-Ann McDonald, Daisy Wong, Wanda Walker and Mabel Glanville. The Sunday night dance crowd enjoyed the music of Backroad Country. The nearly 60 had plenty of room for dancing. The heavy, wet snow began about 5:30 p.m. so kept quite a few folks home. Comrades Jo-Ann McDonald, Judy Lee, Mabel Glanville and Mary Bradshaw did a fine job as usual.
