New rates
reflect costs
Increasing costs of everything
involved in the production of the
Brussels . Post' have made
necessary a review of the rates
that have been in effect for
several years.
These increased production
costs, which until now have been
absorbed, in future' must be
reflected in certain adjustments
and, in some cases, in small.
increases.
Subscriptions to the Post are
being increased by less than four
cents a week. This means that
effective December 17 the yearly
subscription rate in Canada
becomes $6.00 and $8.00 outside
of Canada.
Single copies of current issues
will be 15 cents.

snowmobile
II i trail n area
A number of snowmobile
enthusiasts gathered at the
Bryssels Legion Hall on Monday
night to hear Carl Cowden,
Snoplan Co-Ordinator of Ontario
give advice on snowmobile safety
and the establishing of trails.
It is the hope of Snoplan to
establish trails throughout Ont-
ario to keep snowmobiling a fun
sport for all without creating a
disturbance. With the co-opera-
tion of area clubs,, it is hoped
these trails can be established
properly, connecting town to
-town, without travelling the
public thoroughfares. Like any
other outdoor sport, it is healthy
and when it is organized as a
sport, will be for the betterment
of town and country alike.
Possibly a little touch of snow
would have been more encour-
aging and brought out a few 'more
people but for those who attended
from Brussels and area towns, it
was agreed that the evening
proved to be one of interest.
