(Photo by Ranney) New Brussels councillor named BY DEBBIE RANNEY Stuart Parker was appointed as Brussel's new councillor when Brussels council held its regular meet- ing Monday night. Mr. Parker 'replaces Mal- colm Jacobs who sent a letter of resignation to last month's council meeting. Council de- cided to wait until, this month before accepting it with, re- gret and appointing Mr, Parker. This month, council accepted the resignation of utility man Ken Graber whose resignation became effective May 1. Council opened applica- tions for the job of bylaw enforcement officer and building inspector. 'There were only two applicants- Bruce Weber of Brussels and D, Roy of RR2, Blyth. Coun- cil decided, however, to run an ad to see if anybody would be interested in the com- bined positions of bylaw enforcement officer, building inspector and utility man. Council learned Brussels' school apportionment this year is $107,855 which is up $13,389 from the 1980 total of $94,266. Clerk Bill King said this would put the village's mill rate up at least 14 mills. Council made note of the fact that all permits for sewer constructions are issued through the clerk's office and that absolutely no connections should be made to the sewage works until the permits become available at the municipal office. It was decided to send a registered letter to Cecil Machan in regard to the old house he owns on the road to the arena, In the letter, council was going to advise him that if some attempt was not made to bring the house to a safe and respectable condition by May 15, council would be forced to take further action, Building permits were issued to Lois ..WA`rter, shingle shed; Russ 1-14,4 tear down old garage an'uilt it; Barrie Currie for a new house and Hank Ten Pas for a partial new roof. Under committee reports in recreation, Gord Workman reported he thought $8,000 should be. set aside for the arena in the budget.

The township's total mill rate, which includes municipal, county, elementary and secondary school rates has gone up 25.80 mills over last year. The main reason for this is in 1979 Morris had a surplus of $41,000 while in 1980 it had a deficit of $9,300. Increased school rates also affected the mill rate. The township's own mill rate increased. 10.63 mills. In 1980, a person with a farm assessed at $5,000 paid $610.05 in taxes while this year they will pay $739.05. In taxation for township purposes, the total needed to be collected is $137,994. The township mill rates for commercial and business increased from 38.95 in 1980 to 51.45 in 1981 and the farm and residential rate increased from 33.11 to 43.74 mills. Council passed a bylaw for the mill rate to raise the sum of $797,444 for the year 1981. The township is to raise the sum of $72,542 for county purposes requiring a mill rate for commercial and business of 27,04 mills and a farm and residential mill rate of 23.00 mills and a farm and residential mill rate of 23.00 mills compared to 18.57 mills farm and residential and 21.85 mills for business and commercial in 1980.

Is it hi the oil wells of the Western Provinces? Are our greatest assets our mines or forests or the farmlands that can feed the hungry nations? It is none of these. Our greatest resource, hope for the future, is our young people, The fate of this country lies in the hands of those who are now struggling to find itheir plaice in this troubled world. May they be granted the discipline, support, training, courage and wisdom to chose their course wisely when they face the problems created by preceding generations. Let them be blessed with vision, dedication and fearless honesty that seems to have been sadly lacking in many who have gone before them. To them must be entrusted, not only the future of Canada, but to some extent, that of this troubled world. am** The IAPA tells us bicyclists should avoid these pitfalls: - Darting out onto roadways from driveways or between intersecting streets. - Turning across the flow of through traffic. - Overtaking a stopped vehicle or going around a parked vehicle. - Riding at left against flow of traffic. - Riding at night or in the rain. ,****** During last week's telecast of "Stars On Ice" Toiler Cranston again received the supreme accolade of an audience, absolute ' silence during the performance, then a tumult of applause.
