Bible Society hears • history
COCO was • an effort to work
together for Wanham, rather than
splintering the energies of a few
people in many groups. The
curling club, the hall board, the
Chamber of Commerce, the
baseball clubs disbanded and
formed COCO. AU assets and
liabilities became part of the
central organization, Clubs with
national affiliation like the CWL
and Canadian Legion, joined as
associate members.
Each group sends a rep to
COC.O's monthly meetings.

The annual meeting of the
Brussels branch of the Bible
Society was held in St. John's
Anglican church October 6. Rev.
Carson introduced Rev. W. H.
Moore of London who showed a
film, Dangerous Mission, which
showed the difference the scrip-
tures made on the life of the
people in. New Guinea.
Mr. Moore gave a brief history
of the beginning of the Bible
Society. 200 years ago there was
an evangelistic revival and out of
this came the missionary move-
ment.
• The missionaries found them-
selves handicapped when they
did not have the scriptures in the
language of the people with
whom they were working. In 1804
the Bible Society was formed
whose aim was translation, print-
ing and distributing.
During the 1974-75 Lions year,
the Brussels Lions Club has
contributed more than $9,000.00
to local and national programs
and activities. The money was'
raised through various projects
such as roller skating, dances,
Polar Daize, hockey draws, and
radio Bingos.
Of the total $1814 was raised
through contributions on behalf of
the Ontario Society for the
Crippled children while $429 was
earned for the Canadian. National
Institute for the Blind through
similar means. Other national
causes were given donations also.
$25 went to the Lions
International Relief Fund, $100 to
the Ontario F arm for the Deaf,
$100 to the C;ancer Society and
$196 to the Ontario Society for the
fortunate for the fans that the
baseball game was rained out or
some of them would have been fra
frantic trying to keep up with the
action of football and baseball at
the same time.

More than 150 teenagers
attended the dance organized at`
the Legion by the Brusself
Optimists on Saturday night. The
Optimists decided to schedule
dances after complaints that there
were no activities for young
people in the village.
The teen dance was the first in
Brussels for a number of years.
The crowd danced to Timothy and

however, was used in the

Proceeds from the dance will go
into an account for Brussels
teenagers, perhaps to help them
organize a really big dance, with a
top group sometime in the future.

dances will become a monthly
event. The next dance is sche-

In addition $500 was invested
in washrooms and repairs to the
