Did you hear the collective sigh
of relief from holiday exhausted
mothers when young fry went OM
to school Monday meriting? Attar
disposing of the aftermath, the
tinsel and glitter of Christmas,
they could snatch a few moments
to, regain their usvial compOeure.

The former Brussels School
Board members (there being no
such thing anymore) can now sit
at home these evenings, twiddle
their thumbs, watch television,
without a worry about teacher%
students, parents or the state of
school finances.

The municipal councils are
happy with the absence of any
great amount of snow. The cost
of snow clearance on roads and
streets takes an enormous bite
out of municipal funds and the
fact that there has been need for
only a tiny nibble so far this
winter is of great satisfaction to
them.

If you attended the Legion
New Year Tnve Party you won't
be repeating the enquiry as to
why they wanted . to build saes
a large place. It was crowed to
capacity, with not an extra square
foot to twist in. Those who were
tardy purchasing tickets Missed
the fun, and it's just as well some
did for if there had been many
more present they would have
been dancing in layers.

The holiday season is past. The
village is 80 quiet and peaceful
you wonder what has happened
to everyone. Visitors are gene.
Those gifts that did'nt fit have
been exchanged. Now that the
bills accumulated for the holiday
festivities are due to be paid,
Pockets are empty and the stores
are no longer filled with happy
holiday ' shoppers. The store-
keepers are busy, however, with
the annual bugbear -- inventory.
Taking stock of every article re-
maining on their shelves. It they
are somewhat curt in manner,
forgive them, for they are ab-
sorbed in a pesky, monotonous
task.
