LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
7 Rosemount Bay
Winnipeg, Man.
Dear Mr. Kennedy:
We are enclosing a cheque and
would like to have our subscrip-
tion to the Brussels Post renewed.
We enjoy receiving the paper and
it glees Mae an idea how much
things have changed since he
come out west in 1949
We have whiter in our part of
the country.. now, however• Mac
and the children are pleased as
they were looking forward to get-
ing the power-tobaggan out. I am
still hoping the snow may go
away: for awhile as it will sure' be
long One. until spring.
We read about the Centennial
next summer end we are giving
it some serious consideration. We
had a lovely trip through B.C. this
s u imp et.
We will be looking torward to
receiving the Post each week.
Sincerely
Mac and Muriel Stiles
The town bell rings again!
On Monday morning following
Hallowe'en. Davie on his usual
duty, went to. ring the bell at
eight o'clock, and realized he had
lost the (linger. After several days
of searching the rWer and under
verandahs, while getting wet on
tlie -ontside", besides being wet on
the inside, he finally found the
Binger. Guess whet:el Behind Mr.
Jack Thynne's house.
We were told by Jack Clark
that Mr. 'Phylum would do tricks
like this. Guess he was figuring
he could sell it to help pay for the
morning coffee and the benches for
the Gentlemen.
We have three reasons to
believe that. Mr. Thynne would
not pull this prank. even though
Jack Clark would not tell a lie,
1, The (linger weighs 55 ibs.
and Mr. Thynne has never lifted
anything heavier than a $2.00
fiddle,
2. We know he wouldn't climb
that high and that he will never
get any higher.
3. There is not a ladder in
Brussels strong enough to hold it
pile that big.
nue to Mr: Thynne being a well-
knOsee. citizen of BruaSels, an up,
holder of the NDP and a friend
and neighbour of our Reeve, we
expect- the Matter Will be dis-
mi8SM,
.If this is so, you WOW be beat
to stick with your fiddle Mid your
cards Mr. Thynne, even though
your, can't nlny either.
Your truly
