Good Fair crowd
A successful Brussels Fall Fair is over.
I The School Parade this year, with Brussels,
Grey Central and Walton schools, was the
best seen for some years. Many of the
children were in attractive costumes. There
were many interesting floats, decorated
bicycles, motor bikes, pony and cart with
passengers, horses and riders in costume,
even energetic cheer leaders. Altogether it
was a colorful parade marching to -the music
of the Brussels Legion Pipe Band and the
Seaforth Girls' School Band.

If you enjoy Scottish music and dancing
(and who does not?) do not wait to see it on
TV. The place to enjoy it is Brussels Legion
Hall, on Saturday, October 6th. The Legion
Pipe Band-is holding a Ceilidh (Kay-lee) that
night. See our own very talented Scottish
• dancers, singers and instrumentalists. In
addition to all this, after the concert you will
be able to dance to the music of the pipes,
organ and drums. It should be a great
Scottish night. Proceeds will be used for
band uniform replacement. Never in this
world would we want our popular Legion
Band to appear in shabby dress. Be there!
For further particulars look in Coming
'Events in this paper.

Congratulations to the Optimist Club of.
Brussels for the success of this year's
Brusselsfest. The crowds attending were
treated to a real Fun Fest. The Gong Show

talent and brought roars of laughter from the
audience. A lady won the Liars' Contest.

politicians around to compete for they are
famed for their fantastic tall-tale telling. It is
encouraging, after so much time and effort is
put in planning such a thing, to have people
of the community support it and enjoy what
