Brussels people want Free Press
A daily paper is something that some
people think they can live without. But
there are some Brussels residents who
don't want to let the London Free Press go
without a fight.
The London Free Press recently an-
nounced it would be closing its news
bureaus in Stratford and Goderich and that
they would be phasing out home delivery in
Stratford and in the Huron County area.
Free Press president and general manager
Peter White told the Stratford Beacon
Herald that the Stratford services were
being withdrawn for business reasons.
Mr. White announced the Free Press
would be closing its Huron bureau for
similar reasons as well as forecasts of
declining population here.
Such a prediction is no help however, for
the people of Brussels, who, without train
or bus service, sometimes feel isolated and
would like to keep in touch with the world
around them through the daily paper.
Mrs. Bob Warwick was one person who
got the ball rolling in an effort to keep the
Free. Press here. She got her daughter
June Warwick of London to write up a
petition which.Mrs. Warwick then asked
her paperboy Michael Conaboy to take
around to his customers. Michael also gave
the petition to paper girl Margie Raymond
and between the two of them they came up
with 50 names.
Mrs. Warwick sent the petition into the
London Free Press telling them that these

subscribers would like the paper to stay in
the village. That was about two weeks-ago
and Mrs. Warwick has not yet had a reply
in answer to the petition.
Mrs. Warwick probably sums up the
feelings of a number of people in Brussels
when she says simply, "I would miss the
paper."
