ESTABLISHED 1072 Brussels Post BRUSSELS ONTARIO 108th Year — Issue No. 7 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1979 Short Shots by Evelyn Kennedy BBA elects, to host blue grass 4••••••••••••• The road of life Can be so rough. If troubles come, And things get tough If you trip and fall, Don't stay down and stall. Don't accept defeat, Stand up on your two feet. Show courage for the fight. Get on with your life. ****** The extreme cold temperatures this past weekend caused many frozen water pipes and the resulting inconvenience of getting them thawed out. Locating where the frost has grabbed the pipes can sometimes be a tricky business. Then the thawing job, often done with a blow torch, can be dangerous if not used in expert hands. The Brussels Post was among the frost victims but the thawing out was in expert hands and safely accomplished in short order. ****** Thais is "Pancakes and Syrup" time. You will have two opportunities in the next couple of weeks to enjoy this delicious dish without the bother of preparing it yourself. On. Sunday morning, February 18, the Brussels Leo Club will serve a breakfast of pancakes and syrup, with sausage, for you at the BM & G Community Centre. On Tuesday, February 27th the ladies of St. John's Anglican Church will have their annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper with sandwiches etc, Watch The Post for further particulars. ***** The week of February 18th has been designated as Thinking Week to honor the memory of Lord and Lady Baden Powell, founders of the Scout and Girl guide movement.

All Stars and the Soviet team, that were announced as "The Series of the Century" are over and the Canada Cup has been borne with triumphant glee to Russia. Do not despair, hockey fans, some day it will come home to stay where it belongs. After being defeated in the first game the Russians quickly adapted themselves to the style of the NHL and took their revenge in the next two games. The outstanding performance of the young net minder from Russia complete- ly frustrated the NHL Star goal scorers despite the fact that they had more shots on goal than their opponents. The Soviets blistered in a 6-0 Win. We were at lust treated to some great hockey minus the brawls we have too often witnessed. Russian tempers'flared at times but did not erupt into anything beyond some loud, threatening yelling. Canada cannot, at this time, claim world supremacy in hockey. It is how up to those responsible to see that Canadian hockey players get the training and coaching that equals that of their opposing counter parts before there are More encounters with the present champions. All the executive officers were acclaimed at the annual meeting of the Brussels Business Association (BBA) Wednesday night. The executive is once again: President - Ken Webster; First Vice-President - Terry Sugg; Second Vice-President - Jim Cardiff; Secretary - Fred Stevenson, and Treasurer - John Sims. Murray Lowe and John Cousins were elected to the committee responsible for doing things for sick people. The BBA has a bank balance of $1,100.80 and BBA president Ken Webster recom- mended that $500 be donated to the recreation committee and that $600.80 be left in for candies and apples for the Santa Claus parade next year. The president asked if anyone was interested in joining the Santa Claus committee, whose first meeting will be held in October. The BBA is hoping to have a Blue Grass Jamboree on the ice surface in the arena on the Sunday of Carnival Days which are being held May 25, 26 and 27. It is hoped that people will remember the Trash 'n' Treasure sale during Carnival Days and they can phone either Ken Webster or Terry Sugg. Store hours were discussed and it was decided that the businessmen would ask the public to drop their suggestions in at the stores regarding what store hours they would like to see in Brussels.

Test holes dug for sewers It looked as if the population of Brussels had grown a little on Friday when 22 representatives of contractors interested in bidding on Brussels sewers watched as C.A. McDowell Ltd. of Centralia dug test holes, at points across the village. C.A. McDowell Ltd. was employed by the Ministry of the Environment to dig the test holes at various spots around town to determine the types of soil and the depth of rock. Bidders were interested to see what type of work would be involved in the sewer construction. Contractors came from as a far away as Stratford, London and Windsor. Village clerk Bill King said that C.A. McDowell Ltd. dug at about 20 different locations and that the company had the holes filled up again before dark on Friday.
