Some good advice
on.-,corn.:fettility
Considering the economy farmerS have t6
work' in these days, it makes sense for you to
redyce _expenses where you can. 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!

There are only
charter members still in-
volved with the Brussels
Lions. 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.
