There were two teams each getting seven lone hands and after drawing cards, Murray and Hank edged out George and Deanna Bacon for the prize. Comrades Bush Whittard and Wanda Walker kept everything running smoothly for the card players. The Sunday night dance had a smaller crowd of just over 70 enjoying the dancing music of Backroad Country. There were several birthday celebrants in the crowd and happy birthday was a popular song. Comrades Bob Richardson, Monica Provost, Jo- Ann McDonald, Judy Lee and Mary Bradshaw tended bar and made the lunch for the dancers. Comrade President John Lowe returned from a very enjoyable trip to Provincial Convention in Sault Ste. Marie. He flew there and when the shuttle driver picked him up, the old adage of meeting someone who knows Brussels, happened. The driver was Don Oliver, whose father was from the Brussels area. Don is a cousin of June and Marg Warwick, who many older folks will remember. June was a former owner of the Brussels Inn Hotel and Don made the comment that it was too bad they had torn the “ole hotel” down. John and he spoke of oldtimes and people of the area and had an interesting talk. John enjoyed the many facets of the convention and especially the presentation on the homeless veterans on the streets. There are over 75 vets on the streets of Toronto alone that have no place to stay. The shelters are full, so they live on the streets. The Royal Canadian Legion has started a program, “Leave the Streets Behind”, to raise funds to help support the veterans. John was impressed with the information given. The elections for Provincial Executive lasted more than a full day, with five votes needed to elect the first vice president alone. There is always a parade to the local cenotaph and as part of the act of Remembrance, the local flying school, did a fly-by formation of three jets, perfectly timed after the two minutes of silence. John reports it was very impressive. John had taken our winning Provincial scrapbook with him and it was on display at the Public Relations table for the week. He heard many fine comments on the book and had a chance to view other winning scrapbooks. John reports enjoying his trip Continued from page 3 jump over unsafe things, don’t cheat at school, don’t be lazy, don’t eat or touch anything that is poison, keep others safe, don’t do things that will worry your parents. Rules are not only for us but for others as well. Rev. Clark asked the children to go into the congregation and take the hand of someone they didn’t know while everyone said a prayer together. Braidon Abell-Rinn carried the Christ candle down to Sunday School for their time of worship and fellowship. David Onn read the scripture from Luke 24: 13- 35. The choir sang the anthem, “Seek Ye First, Jesus is the Answer”. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was “The Commandments and You … Watch the Speed Bumps”. Everything has speed bumps to slow you down. Sometimes we refuse to slow down around schools so speed bumps are put there to slow us down. We have always had speed bumps in life. We forget that we are a part of the common good. When we look after number one, our world gets smaller and smaller. Jesus taught us to think of others. The power to change is ours. We should think of how change will affect others. All the good lessons are lost when we don’t read the Bible. Jesus tells us to care for one another. We can let the Love of Christ be seen in us. We can slow people down by showing our faith when we let Jesus live through us. The next hymn was “God Whose Love is Reigning O’er Us” was sung followed by the receiving of the offering, the offertory response and the prayer of dedication, the prayers for the world and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn was followed by the commissioning, the benediction and the choral response. Everyone was invited for cake and ice cream to celebrate the birthdays celebrated in May.
