But as you plan this year's corn planting, keep an eye on what fertilizer cut backs could do to your yields., • By thinking in 'terms of "cost per bushel" instead of "cost per acre", you can see how smart fertilizing really pays off. You can't do much about fixed land costs. but you can get optimum yields if you make sure your soil has adequate amounts of the 3 basic nutrients: Nitrogen: skimping on nitrogen could cost you frbm 5-15 bulacre:a serious reduction-c- Loild cost you 25 bulacjie_op-more-7— Phosphate: your corn needs a proper supply ' of phosphate for root development, early growth. and to mature quickly: Potash: a shortage of potash can show up as poorly filled ear tips. Good fertility means a better crop. and a better cash return on your planting. Come in to see us today, and we'll help you plan a corn fertility program that can pay off . . . even this. year!

Club and Bill Turnbull of Brussels has stayed on, he says because, "of the good work they do in the ,community," 'They make if a better place to live," he said. Bill became a member when the club was chartered in April of 1946, sponsored by the Mitchell and Seaforth Lions' Clubs. At that time Bill's father Wilbur Turnbull also joined making them the only father and son that joined in 1946. Wilbur Turnbull has since with- drawn. Roy Cousin§ was the first president but he has since moved away (although his membership is still paid up) and another original. charter member Rev. Gordon Hazelwood moved out of the area for awhile but rejoined the club when he came back. In 1946, 42 men became, members of the Brussels Lions Club and the member- ship remained at that number for quite awhile as only that number could be seated in the Brussels library where the meetings were held. The four churches in Brusgels have always catered to these meetings and Mr. Turnbull said the Lions Club has had "the greatest service from them." The churches • BILL TURNBULL; take turns with the catering. The Lions have also held an occasional special meeting in the. Legion Hall. Last fall, because of an expansion in its membership which now numbers 59, the Lions Club moved its meet- ing place to the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre. Members meet on the second and fourth Monday night of every month, except July and August. • BRACES When first started,. the Lions-'--main project involved community effort in pro- viding such things as braces, glasses and helping out any- body in the community who needed assistance. Most of the money raised was spent on the health and welfare of crippled children and boys' and girls' hockey and ball teams. , One of the first fund raising projects was a carnival held-in the ball park with rides for the children, games of chance, bands, dances and entertainment. The carnival .was held for about the first Jen yearS the club's existence., Later projects included tickets on a car when. Bill was president in 1952, tickets on the world series ball games,' hockey draws which have. been on' the go for quite a number of years and the popular Polar Daize which has been running, for the last 10 or 12 years. Bill said the Lions Club were one of the moving forces behind the building of the new arena and then they got into the elimination draws. The Lions Inter- national Exchanges have also been going on for a few years .now. About 27 years ago, the . Lions Club held variety revues in 'the old town hall with all local talent and Brussels Post editor Evelyn Kennedy as the director. Bill Turnbull has 'been on almost all of the committees in the, Lions Cie, including Program 'Chairman, Health and Welfare, Boys and Girls Program, Community Better- . ment, Ways and Means and is now on the Community Relations Committee. Asked about the Lions Club most important accomplishment; Bill says the most recent one has -been helping with the building of the—Bruslels, Morris and Grey -arena and wiltions that they once provided, slides and playthings for Cranbrook and Ethel. He 'said the club has had its ups and downs, but right now it's at a high. Although called the BrusSeis Club, the, groyp.- alSo has members. froni Morris, Grey and Walton. Jack Knight is the current president of the Lions Club. His father Gordon Knight had been president a few years after the Club 'got its charter so it looks as though the Brussels Lions Club has come full circle within the generations 'since its beginning in 1946. mimic TEN PAS DECOR CENTRE LTD 122 Main St., Listowel'291-4440 See our display farthe 80' Walls - Windows - & Floors Ask our decorating consultants what is right for your home decor.
