Cecily W. Hallack ****** Holiday time is here. Families on ,vacation will be travelling with children. Youngsters get restless on long trips. They tire of watching the scenery go by, counting animals or spotting cars, from another province or country. A good suggestion to keep them amused is to buy a few inexpensive toys before leaving home, keep them, out of sight until the kiddies get bored , then give them one. July 1st, Dominion Day, is next Tuesday. As yet there does not appear that there has been a celebration of any kind planned to take place in Brussels. With all the uproar about the problems our country is having one would think every city, town and namlet would be eager to mark Canada's Day with some kind of special activity. Let us, at least, fly our flags to show passer's by that we are aware of what day it' is and that We are proud to be Canadians. mot.** The Brussels Horticultural Society will hold their annual Rose. Show at the Brussels Library on. Wednesday; July 2nd. There will also be 'Crafts and a Bake Sale at the same time, 3:00 p.m. You will not want to miss the beautiful display of roses or the opportunity to pick up some interesting craft articles and some homemade baking. ****** Sunday was Decoration Day at Brussels Cemetery: The day when members of the I.O.O.F. and Rebekah. Lodge and of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary honoured the memory of their deceased lodge' brothers and sisters and - comrades. Many of those now tone from Western Star and Morning Star Lodge gave of their time and effort to the welfare Work of their lodge and betterment Of their community. Legion comrades gave, even unto death. All served their community and country. It is fitting that their memory should be honoured in a combined service by surviving' members; relatives and friends. ****** " Humbard, ;the well-known. TV evangeliSt, got a scathing going-over in a recent article. The sincerity of the message he &litters was not questioned but the methods used 'in getting funds and the way the money is spent, was bitterly-. attacked. With this I must agree. The deplorable begging letters sent to widows, the lonely and shut-ins; who draw comfort from his broadcasts, are a disgrace. Recently, the article referred to said his wife Aimee sent leeching letters far and wide asking for money that she could use to give her husband a wonderful birthday gift by paying his debts. Why should others, who so often have so little themselves, be asked to pay his debts? This, when it is said they live in a veritable mansion and he has, recently bought a condominium. Disgraceful. ****** With school out and vacation trips the thing, there will be more cars than ever on the highways. This means even more need for attentive driving. Drive defensively. Be alert to what is going on ahead, behind and around you. Anticipate what could happen and take the necessary precaution to avoid an' accident. Have a happy holiday. Take care net to become a highway fatality statistic. * * Everyone wants to save money these days. Here is a good chance for mothers to do so.
