The 1973 Canada-Games held in Burnaby, westminster, B.C., are over. What a marvellous sight it was to watch those hundreds of athletes from all parts of Canada participating. ' Records were broken; new talent came to light; intense enthusiasm was created among both participants, and spectators. It augurs well for the approaching 01 mpics to be held in Montreal a few years- hence. Our athletes will be striving vigorously for improved performances, to reach their ultimate potential for their events at that time. Most of all these Canada games bring together, from everyr. corner of our far- flung• country, young people who, living together, and competing with each other, gain better understanding of our varied cul- tures.

A man who accidently hit and killed a dog when it ran in front of his car in thi s village one day last week, did not uncaringly go on his way. He was considerate enough to turn around, pick up the body of the dead animal and offer regrets to the owner of the pet. He was a gentleman. • * * * * * * A Huron County crew were busy last week patching the holes and cracks on Brussels Main Street. This wasgdod.HoWever, the mixture used to do the re- pair work was not altogether appreciated by pedestrians cros- sing the street, nor, we suspect by car owners travelling along 'the newly patched road surface. The fine gravel stuck to shoes and was carried into homes and business places as well as mak- ing walkin g uncomfortable. Those youngsters who dared to venture it, in bare feet, it is imagined, would have quite a scrubbing job to get the sticky stuff off. * * * * * ** MisSeS Connie McWhirter and Joan Elliott of Brussels have joined the SWEEP ,project this, summer and have been busy working with the wreketer crew of the Maitland Valley Conservat- ion AuthOrity. * * * * * * A great deal has been read, and heard; of the indifference of people to-day to the problems and diStreas of their fellowmen This is unfortunately true to a great extent but it was not so in London when people were en- dangered and lost homes and pOSSeSSiOn8 in the gas-created fires in a section of that city.
