WORK WONDERS. 1928 headline reads - Girl found hanging Sometimes it is interesting to go back to old papers and look at what was happening many years ago on the same date as this week's paper. In, looking at an edition of the May 30 paper in 1928, the Brussels Post reporter did find an interesting story. Indeed it may sound like an offensive headline and an even more offensive story but we promise that at the end of this tale of woe you're more likely to shake your head in amusement than anything else. Here is the story complete with headings and all: GIRL FOUND HANGING Distressing Case Found in a Parlour in Grey Township Home. The fatal step may end the most happy life; the most cultured, beautiful and the best beloved are not exempt from the same fate. A father's devotion, a mother's fond care, and love of a brother, or a sister's companionship won't shield them when they decide to take the final step. Last evening one of the most refined young ladies of Grey Township was found hanging in her home by her mother, FM Two Way Radios For Farm or Business We sell Canadian Made Radios with one year warranty we install Bowes Electronic Shop Hamilton St. Blyth, Ont. Phone 523-4412 surrounded by all the luxuries that go to make a happy life. In the early part of the evening she was missed, and a careful search failed to reveal her wherabouts. The telephone was used without results, Her father was called to search for her, but now one was able to locate her. Almost heart broken, her mother had, just entered the parlour, and there to her surprise she found her daughter. How the mother was affected by the sight that met her eyes !For there was her (here the editor had cleverly made the notation that the story was continued on page 5, keeping his reader in suspense all the longer, but to continue on with the story:) daughter hanging on the neck of her sweetheart, imploring him to subscribe at once to the Brussels Post so that he might be better posted on events in and around the township. A most unusual way to get in new subscriptions one has to admit but a method which if it were used today would probably result in more cancellations that anything else. The Huron County Board of Education approved an additional 22 books for use in county schools Monday night despite attempts by the Concerned Citizens' Group to delay the action. The group,w hich claims to represent a majority of the county's parents, had wanted the board to delay voting on the books until all the trustees read the books and had a chance to meet with the citizens' group to discuss differences and come to a mutual understanding. A 15-member delegation from the group asked that the board ensure the books they approved were in keeping of the Judeo- Christian ethics of the area. One book the group expressed concern about was the Chocolate Soldier by Robert Cormier, which was recommended by the Seaforth English department. The English department said while the book contains some "explicit" language, they justified it's use on educational value. Under the board's new policy with regard to books used in the schools, the English department heads at county high schools I meet with the board's education committee ' to outline the new books they want to use and to explain anything of a con .troversial nature in the books. "If anyone thinks. I'm going to sit down and read 22 books, you can forget trustee Eugene Frayne said. Trustee Shirley Hazlitt agreed with Mr. Frayne and said, "I think teachers have done an excellent job in giving their rationale for using these books." A more detailed account of the board meeting will occur in next week's Brussels Post. i THE BRUSSELS POST, JUNE 6, 1979 — 22 more books Board of Ed. approves & M Ranch of Brussels averaging 1250 lbs. sold for 83.50.

In another lengthy discussion, council dealt with the deficit of the East Wawanosh Community Centre. Council wasn't sure about giving the centre's board money as they wondered if different organizations shouldn't be a bit more self-sufficient. In the end they decided to hold a recreation committee meeting and give the Board $400 as a stopgap measure. Neil Vincent, who was there on behalf of the Board, told council there was a meeting to be set up with the Ministry of Culture and Recreation in July for the East Wawnaosh board and council decided they would see if they could go to the same meeting and find out about the grant system.
