A Laotian, family will be taking up
residence here. It is hoped that the people of
this community will receive them with
warmth and kindness. These people have
left their homeland under sad circumstances
and have endured many hardships in their
flight to freedom. They have come to a
strange country with an unfamiliar language
and customs. It will be very difficult for them
to adjust. They cannot be rushed into our
Canadian way of life. It will be a lonely
experience for them that will be even more
so if they encounter prejudices. Let them
know they are welcome here with your
patient understanding of their many
problems.

The bane of any newspaper is those
troublesome gremlins ,that every now and
then somehow manage to have things
appear in print that were never meant to be
there. Of course it is handy to have these
little creatures to blame for our own
mistakes. What I am trying to say is—no the
Ladies Auxiliary of the Brussels Legion are
not having their Baking and Craft sale on
Sunday, June 15th. They would never do
such a thing. It is to be held on Saturday,
June 14th. Keep watching for more
particulars and please excuse the error made
in the date last week.

The decisive• defeat of Rene Levesque's
attempt to lead Quebec into sovreignty
association with the rest of Canada does not
mean the end of problems. It means the
revision of Canada's constitution without
undue delay. Our constitution was drawn up
years ago to fit the needs of our country at
that time. Canada has changed. It is not only
the problems of Quebec - that need
re-thinking but those of many areas of our
country. The result of the Quebec
referendum was a clear indication that most
Quebeckers desire to remain a part of
Canada. Separation was what Levesque and
his hardcore PQ party were determined to
bring about. They are not, about to give up
their efforts even now. It is then imperative
that the Prancophones who chose to give
Canada one more chance, and other
complaining provinces, be assured, that
grievance's will be given consideration and
promises kept. Canada has been travelling a
rough road. We have arrived now at the
brink of a perilous gorge. It is up to us to
build a sturdy bridge to span that awesome
rift. If we fail now we will find ourselves in a
fractured country. It is time for leaders of all
governments, all Canadians, to forget
selfish greed for wealth and power and work
together for a great, truly united, Canada.

Garage .Sales are quite the thing these
days. They ,have become a popular way for
individuals to dispose of things they no
longer need, or want. Various groups hav e
also found it a way to raise money for their
projects. St. John's Anglican Church will
hold one on Saturday June 21. Look for more
information in The Post as that date draws
near. Hunt for any suitable articles you no
longer have use for. Donate them to St.
John's Garage Sale.

Construction starts
Construction on the Brussels sewage
treatmtnt plant is progressing as McLean-
Foster Construction of St. Marys has started
to work on the various buildings included.
When completed, the plant will contain a
control building, a filter building, a chemical
storage tank and a clarifier. Raw sewage will
come from the pumping station across
Stretton Street, then west on Elm Street, to
Ross Street and into the sewage treatment
plant area, west of the fairgrounds.
From the pumping station, the sewage is
pumped up a force main. then comes into the
inlet works, where chemical treatment can
be added if necessary. then into a clarifier
for oxidization and aeration. From there, it
goes back out through a chlorine contact
chamber, through a filter building out to a
Manhole, then down Ross Street onto Queen
Street and into the Maitland River.
Clarence Doherty of B.M. Ross engineers
in Goderich, the inspector on the project said
it will take about a year to' complete.
UP, UP AND AWAY—Mr. and Mrs. Don Jacklin of Brussels were
putting a new addition on their house last week which meant they had to
have the roof taken off their house and put back on again. In these
photos, Fred Stevenson's construction crew starts to lift the roof off a
wagon so it can be put back in place. After a great deal of struggle on the
part of the construction crew, the roof landed safely back on Mr. and
Mrs. Jacklin's house. (Photo by Ranney)
