the meeting.
In the absence of our president,Cathrine Campbell, our vice-presi-dent, presided over the business. Shethanked everyone for helping withthe Springtime Supper and also the

home to go out.

the display at the Brussels Fall Fair.
It was moved by Dona Knight,
seconded by Leona that we
don’t have a June meeting. The next
meeting will be held on September

Marg Work and Jeanne will be in
charge of the devotions. It was
moved by Mary Douma, seconded
by Elaine Armstrong to adjourn the
meeting. Cathrine and Elaine served
lunch and a social time was enjoyed
by all.
The holiday weekend was really
quite nice once Saturday was over.
The hot weather hit in a hurry and
was almost too much. We won’t
complain though as the great weath-
er made it possible to accomplish
lots of outside chores. Weeding was
done and flowerbeds are now ready
for a few colourful annuals to be
planted.
Lots of farmers were busy work-
ing both on Sunday and Monday and
planting should soon be wrapped upfor another year.Get-well wishes go out to CaseyMcCutcheon who is in hospital. Mymother is still in Stratford hospitalbut is coming along nicely.We are sad to report that DorisFoster passed away last week. Shehad been a resident of the Alexander

ily.

Adams cleans up cenotaph
Melville meets
At the Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It was a very quiet week at the
Branch. Thanks to Comrade George
Adams who took it upon himself to
see what he could do with the centre
cenotaph. The names of our fallen
area soldiers had become very hard
to read because of weathering of the
monument. The names were origi-
nally carved and then were filled
with a dark lead base compound.
Weather, wind and dirt had made
them appear the same colour as the
stone monument. George worked
with a cleaning compound and brush
and cleaned each and every name, so
they can be read very easily now.
Thank you Comrade George for
your time, energy and thoughtful-
ness in keeping the cenotaph looking
its best.
The Friday night supper of meat-
balls and baked rice was enjoyed by
a small crowd on the holiday week-
end. The last supper will be this
Friday and it will be roast pork. The
cooks are taking early summer vaca-
tion and we hope to see everyone
back in the fall. Comrades who
would like to help with the Friday
night suppers are asked to speak to
Comrade Jo-Ann McDonald some-
time over the summer.
A reminder to Comrades that the
joint installation of the Brussels and
Seaforth executives is Friday, May
28 at 8 p.m. at Seaforth Branch 156.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
