many animals with a maternal
instinct, which at times seems
to exceed that of some human
mothers. One day last week a
mother cat was observed in giv-
ing her kitten a lesson in how
to cross the main street. She
tarried the kitten in her mouth
for a few steps, then dropped
it to follow her a few steps, re-
peating this again and again.

picked the kitten up and carried it
to safety with the mother cat in

with the Brussels community for
more than 100 years were broken
Friday evening when the furnish-
s ings of Brussels Orange Lodge
No. 774 were sold by public
auction.
Included in the sale were the
chairs on which members had sat
through countless meetings. They
were popular items among the
antique dealers at the sale since
a number of them, the auctioneer
said, had been made in Ainley-
ville before the incorporation of
Brussels.
The drums that had led the
Brussels Lodge oncountless par-
ades were sold as were the
pictures on the walls depicting
stirring and historical events
and the tables and cupboard -
all much sought by the dealers
attending the sale.
The Brussels Orange Lodge
had members registered as far
back as 1852 but the Lodge did
not receive a warranty until
October of 1856. It was a few
years later that members pur-
chased a frame building that had
served the Anglican Church and
which they have continued to
occupy for nearly a century.

A few years ago Ethel Orange
Lodge joined the Brussels Lodge
but in recent years membership
has dwindled. Older members
have passed away, others have
become inactive, while younger
members have moved to other
centres. Wm. H. McCutcheon
has been a member for more than
60 years and there are others
who have belonged almost as long.
The property has been sold
to Garry Evans and he in turn
has sold the building to Carl
Graber, who will move it.
Members of the Brussels
Lodge will amalgamate with the
Belgrave Lodge this fall.
