trots and canters and see how it behaves and
there is also a contest for the best dressed
horse which means they have ribbons in
their mane and tail and maybe a fancy
saddle blanket.
To keep her horse in shape, Janet goes for
a ride pretty well every day for an hour or an
hour and a half. She also brushes and curry
combs the horse in order to get it ready for
the fair.
Stephen said Sheila Gulutzen of R. R. #2,
Brussels won prizes at the fair for their beef
calves last year and now they're trying
again--Sheila for her second time and
Stephen for his third.
In order to get their calves ready for the
fair, the Gulutzens have to train them which
means they have to lead the calf around,
keep its head high in the r, and train it SQ it

Family and Children's Services of Huron
County is pleased with the success of our
new community program, FACES/79. (Fam-
ily and Children's Excursion Services) The
number of children involved has substant-
ially increased from 90 in the summer of
1978 to 214 children involved with FACES
79.
An Experience '79 Grant allowed the
Agency to hire Pauline Hall and Margaret
Foran as program co-ordinators. Margaret,
with the assistance of volunteers involved 75
children in a variety of special activity day
camps, throughout the County. Sixty-nine
children participated in the week-long
overnight camps with Pauline. In addition,

is little doubt that this will add to the bitter
struggle that has gone on so long in Ireland.
It will give fuel to the blaze of hatred that has
set Catholics and Protestants, and the
militant I.R.A. and British against each
other, tearing that country's people apart in
bloody strife. There will be those who will
resort to desperate violence to avenge the
murder of Mountbatten. Such acts may be
repeated time and time again.

One way to find out if folks read the
Brussels Post is to have a glaring error
headlining a front page story and repeated in.
the story itself. We did find out that they do
after a recent issue of The Post. We had
criticism by phone and a number of people
dropped in at the office to point out that
error to us with surprise, or sarcas m, at our
ignorance. At the Post we were very much
aware of what had occurred before we were
told about it. This all happened, of course,
when the sanitary sewers were referred to as
storm sewers. Our reporter knew perfectly
well that the sewage system now under
construction was for sanitary sewers.
However, when copy must paSs through
many hands before a story appears in print,
as Post copy does, soruetimes, somewhere,
those troublesome gremlins play havoc with
responsible reptorting. Cur gal, front whose
typewriter that story came never mentioned
storm Sewers but there it was in bold
headlines.

another seventy children were sent to other
organized camps including a one-parent
family camp.
Special thanks is expressed to the twenty
volunteers who actively participated in both
programs. Their time and commitment to
the children and the program contributed
greatly to the summers' success. We would
also like to thank our volunteer drivers.
The support demonstrated from the
community for the FACES summer program
was greatly appreciated. Donations to the
Special Benefits Summer CampFundtotalled
$3,947. This funding made the entire
program possible.

bad habits, One is overestimating the
quantity of certain provisions needed when I
have a small number of visitors, and
underestimating when there are more. Scads
of food for the few with delicate appetites,
almost force them to accept more than they
care to eat so not to be left with scrappy
leftovers that will keep me eating the same
thing for days on end. With more guests
with healthy appetites, not enough eggs, or
bread for breakfast. Oh deatl How
humilating. Scramble the eggs with bacon,
cheese Or mushrooms and a bit of milk. That
will stretch them enough. Pray that they like
it. Toast those stale rolls. May be they will
be hungry enough to eat them-without
detecting the staleness under the toasting.
Surprising what you can get away with, or
hope you get away with, when you have to.
More embarrassing is to find that the roll of
toilet tissue in use has become very skimpy.
Horror Of horrors, the rolls you though you
had in reserve have mysteriously
disappeared. That is More of a problem than
a shortage of food. In this day and age you
cannot substitute the old catalogue that was
in common use in the days', of the outdoor
privy. At least there is a large box of facial
tissue at hand. You would think that, at My
age, I would have enough sense to be
properly prepared for any number of gttests.
The chance of improVement seems slim.-

Have you your exhibits ready for Brussels
Pall Fair? September 18th and 19th are the
dates to remember. Watch for tiirther

Few of us I think would like to do without
the modern welfare state. No one butthe very
rich would like to go back to the days before
the old age pension, universal free
education, inexpensive health care. But at
the same time I think most of us would like to
be able to have that and still have the
community spirit that made people work
together to solve problems. Small towns
haven't completely lost the community
feeling but it has been eroded by the fact
Brussels
donates
$1,000 to
victims
Brussels and area people
• came through once again
/with donations for the Wood-
stock tornado relief fund
when they donated a total of
$1163.34 to the boxes that
were put in the two village
banks by the Brussels Lions
Club.
The Lions Club had left
donation boxes in the two
banks in Brussels at the
beginning of the month for
one week and at that time
collected $783.19. The Lions.
then decided to leave the
volunteer donation boxes in
the banks until the end of the
month and on Friday they
had collected $380.15 extra
from the Brussels and area
people.
Along with a previous
Lions Club donation of $1000
that means that the Lions'
and village people will have
sent the total of $2163.34 to
the Woodstock relief fund.
will- stand square for the judges.
Other preparations include feeding the
calf, clipping the hooves, and cutting the
hair. Judges look for the way the person
leads their calf, the overall appearance of the
calf, and how alert it is.
The Gulutzens who belong to the Brussels
Calf Club said that sometimes the judges
will walk over and touch the calf and if it
jumps it isn't trained well enough.
Or sometimes if there's a tie for first
place, the calves are interchanged and
members have to lead another person's calf
around.
The Gulutzens have Simmental cattle and
they will be entered in the junior class at the
fair this year.
Getting ready for the fair is always a busy
time but its also, obviously, a time of great
fun for the people of Brussels and area.
government policies have removed the
motivation to get together. Now it takes
special circumstance to make even most' •
small towns pull together. A flood, a storm,
a fire, an action of a senior government such
as the hospital closings is what it takes to
make people rally together to fight for each
other.
I'm glad to live man ,...nvironment where
people still do pull together. It's much easier
living through crises if you know that people
are ready to offer a helping hand, a hand not
tied in the red tape of a government agency.
