One day in preparation to

council did not decide what they
were going to be paid until 10
months later, at Monday night's
council meeting. .
Salaries were set at $825 per
year for the Reeve and $62S per
year for each councillor. The
press was asked to leave the•
meeting while the salaries were
discussed.
Brussels reeve Bill King said
that although salaries are usually
set at the beginning of the year,
councils aren't paid until the end
of the year. Now that the salary
by-law has been passed it means
that the cheques can go out.
Last year the reeve's salary was
$550 and councillors were paid
$400 each. At the first of the, year,
council members were unable to
agree on a pay rate for
themselves, although the matter
was discussed at several
meetings.

On Friday, October 17th the
teachers, secretary, custodian
and bus drivers of Brussels Public
School.held a retirement'party for
George and. Mary Davidson.
George had been •the custodian at
the old Brussels School as well as
the present school' built in 1960.
Everyone enjoyed the supper held
at the Triple-K restaurant in
Blyth and then returned to Jim
and Hope Priors for a social
evening of cards, Jim Prior and
Ken Scott presented George with
a fishing pole, reel and net on
behalf of the group. Idella Wilson
and Jeanne Ireland also
presented Mary 'with a . gift.
Following the presentation, a
lovely lunch was provided by the
Priors. Former students may
recognize some of the incidents
mentioned by Ken Scntt as part of
the presentation.

Brussels will prepare a brief
supporting the planned sewage
system for the village to present
to the Ontario Municipal Board
hearing here on December 2.
The OMB hearing was called
when a number of Brussels
citizens objected to the village's
plan to install sewers.
Brussels will put together a
brief outlining the reasons for the
sewage system, council decided
at their meeting Monday night.
The village solicitor and repre-
we're in I guessf am to • blame
He took a hammer in his hand and
busted out the pane.
Now George is quite romantic 'or
so his Mary claims
He took her for a drive one day,
he said to search for game.
They drove back to a gravel pit,
she thought to have a fling,
But all they did was sit around to
hear the bluebirds sing.
We'll miss the engineering cap,
the blue truck on the grounds,
In winter time the orange outfit
as Georgie made the rounds,
His ready wit and stories bold, he
tells without a blink,
The French ball game he tells so
well, when he's had a few to
drink.
And so we've gathered here
tonight to wish you both the
best
We wish you lots of happiness in
this we do not jest,
We hope that in retirement this
will give you quite a lift,
From all your friends, please do
accept from us this little gift.
