Short Shots by Evelyn Kennedy Continued from page 1 them, are gone. Then there are the little tot, s who went off to school for the first time. Those who were well prepared for the adventure, excited and proud, the shy ones, timid and reluctant. No doubt there were some mothers who hid tears as they watched their baby go off to school. Their days would never be the same again. Next week - Brussels Fall Fair, Tuesday September 15 and Wednesday September 16. Fall Fairs are a tradition in Ontario. They provide an opportunity for the whole community to show their best in friendly competition from livestock, the products of farm and field, to flowers, vegetables, handicrafts, needleware, crafts of all kinds, the accomplishments of children and organiz- ations. There will be something for everyone to admire and enjoy at the Brussels Fair. Visit the Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening to see the indoor exhibits and enjoy the entertain- ment. Watch the school parade on Wednes- day. Attend the many activities that will take place at the fair grounds. You will find them interesting. It would be wise to stock up on warm blankets and carry sweaters and clothing this fall. With the price of fuel oil about to keep climbing up we will have to find way s to keep warm while turning the thermostats down if we do not want to shiver through the winter or go broke. Too bad we cannot all up our income as easily as the M.P.s raised their salaries. The increase in oil prices, and other things, should not bring a single "peep" from any one of them. If you have letters that should be written you should do it now. Postage on letters, it is said, will increase from 17 cents to 30 cents in the near future. After the mail strikers got what they wanted we are the ones who have to pay for it. Guess Ma Bell will be the one to profit from it with folks phoning instead of writing. Sports fans have had plenty to entertain them this past week. Canada Cup Hockey, football, baseball, tennis were all available on T.V. to date (Monday P.M.) Canada has done very well indeed in the Canada Cup series not having lost a game and tieing only one. It remains to see how well they perform in their game against U.S.S.R. this Wednesday night. Smiles If school days were the happiest of your life, you probably didn't drive the bus. A man walked into a millinery shop and pointed to a hat in the window. "That red one with the feathers and berries," he said, "would you take it out of the window for me?" "Certainly, sir," the clerk said, "we be glad to." "Thank you very much," said the young man, moving towards the door. "The hor- rible thing bothers me every- time I pass by there." " Sometimes a speech is like a wheel-- the longer the spoke, the greater the tire. .01.1111.10.11•1•1111.MIN Chiropractors Allan K. Overgaard Lee A.
