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,

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.

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.
