This summer 1 spent .a .Short time in :Brussels -which was home town in the early part of the mutiny. Gone among .other things ,was the old Town Hall, the Continuation School where I secured my junior matriculation in the 'days of J. H. Cameross principal, maybe the best teach., er that i ever had, Ameets plan- t* mill, the old wollen mill, the blagissmitlis' Shope and other industries. Most of all, I was shoeked • when ef saw the con- dition of the :river which seemed to. be, only.'a garbage durep and a breeder of algae, and the mill darn eroding • to pieces and the small amount of water above it as compared to that, when I was a young man in the village, Then, one could swim in clean Water anywhere in the river, sail a boat above the darn and in the winter time skate up the frozen surface to the Craubrook area. Beautiful picnic spots existed along the banks and I still have snapshots of the old gang in a. "carry-all" on one of these, and of the annual event, when the ice broke up above the dain and the whole village was out to see the spectacle of the ice falling over the darn. and floating down the stream. Now, the old flour inii1 is un- used, but basically the dam still stands although chunks of cem- ent have fallen out. As a member of the Hamilton Region Conser- vation Authority, I was disap- pointed to see the opportunity being 'missed here for the creation of an outstanding Con- servation Area, With relatively a small expense thich an area. can be created which would put the village back on the map and provide recreational facilities second to none. Reforestation is needed too , ea the river hanks. 1 read in your paper of August 27th under • the heading "Why not stop Now and Avoid Trouble" about acts of vandal- ism in the village, Would. not the development of a conservation area as mentioned, above provide a place for yontig• • people - es- pecially, to enjoy -healthful recre- ation, swlltltrling, boating and piceicing for example? I am aware such a 'develop- ment is perhaps the responsibil- ity of the Maitland. Valley Con- • servation Authority' and • I arn lead to believe that 1971 Will see action on it. Dna local action is needed first, because after all it is your river and your country. This spring in Dundas. for ex- ample. the school children ender the direction of two of the local service clubs and aided by the works department of the toe.,n providing trucks and the Conser- vation .Authority, spent, two Saturdays cleaning Spencer Creek which flows through the town. Is there no service club or organization in Brussels to lead a movement to .encourage and aid in bringing about the im- Provetnents I have referred to and get things moving• to restore. the Maitland to what Nature and Man had there fifty years ago?
