Brussels okays library for playschool use
The Brussels playschool will be
having a new location for its
activities later this year after
agreement was reached by school
supervisor Barb Mutter with Brus
sels Village Council on use of the
downstairs meeting room of the
library three days a week.
Mrs. Mutter made the request
from council to use the space on
three days a week because there is
now awaitinglisttogetintothe
playschool. The current site, the
Brussels United Church is licensed
for 10 children at a time so 40
children can be accepted but 45
children have applied to attend.
The library room would allow 16
children at a time to be accommo
Blyth Legion Auxiliary
members visit Windsor
On Saturday, September 13,
nine members of the Blyth Auxili
ary and two members of the
Brussels Auxiliary, left Blyth for
the convention celebrating the 60
year of the Ontario Provincial
Auxiliary which was held in
Windsor, Ontario.
Of the 11, four were voting
delegates and seven were observ
ers, but except for the “Ayes” and
“Nays” during sessions, each
group was a full part of all
proceedings.
The City of Windsor was shown a
wonderful display on Sunday,
Sept. 14, when 1,500 uniformed
women paraded from Dieppe Park
to Central Square for a wreath
laying ceremony at the Cenotaph.
With flags from all auxiliaries, two
pipe bands and a cadet band, this
parade was an impressive sight for
the townspeople lining the route,
and was a good start for the 4 day
convention.
Sessions started early and were
quite long, but provided plenty of
food for thought and discussion
with humour in between. From the
financial reports given, it was
evident that the Ladies are the busy
bees providing much of the honey
for the Legion Branches and their
communities.
Free time was organized in
various ways by Windsor Legion
groups and others. The weather
co-operated admirably as 1,500
plus, women were able to explore
the city, visiting the stores, etc.,
which must have been a bonus for
the business people of Windsor.

dated with three supervising
adults. It would mean 48 children
could attend (children attend one
day a week).
The room would need to be
equipped with small tables and
chairs she said but the Brussels
Lions and Leos club had each
agreed to donate $500 toward
equipping the room. The donations
would be made to the village
because Mrs. Muttercannotac-
cept such donations and the village
would then pay the cost of the
furniture. Also needed, according
to officials from the Huron County
Health Department are exhaust
fans in the bathrooms which would
be paid for from the donations.
unfortunately missed half of the
convention, spending some lonely
hours in her hotel room. Lillian
Riehl slipped on the Hotel entrance
ramp and turned her ankle badly
and since returning home is now
confined indoors with a serious
sprain and chipped bone. Best
wishes for a speedy return to
normal walking and routine, Lil
lian.
The convention closed Wednes
day, Sept. 17 at noon when all
delegates and observers dispersed
full of enthusiasm for the Diamond
Jubilee year ahead, during which,
no doubt, the public will hear
plenty from the Legion Auxiliaries
across Ontario.
AUXILIARY EUCHRE PARTY
Legion Auxiliary members of
Zone C, converged on Blyth in the
Memorial Hall on Saturday, Sept.
27, for an afternoon of euchre.
Twenty-four tables were in play for
the Zone competition. After 9 sets
of games, the top ten teams were
announced as follows.
First place and trophy, Exeter;
second, Goderich; third, Exeter;
fourth, Kincardine; fifth, God
erich; sixth, Kincardine; seventh,
Goderich; eighth, Goderich; ninth,
Goderich; tenth, Wingham.
Congratulations to all winners
and good luck in the next round, as
these ten teams advance to the
District playoffs in Wingham on
October 25.
Refreshments were served at
the end of play by the host
Auxiliary, Branch 420, Blyth, and
an enjoyable social time finished a
very pleasant afternoon.
Mrs. Mutter explained to coun
cil the financing of the playschool
in order to dispell rumours that she
was making “moocho money”
from operating the school. She
explained that the school is
self-financing except for donations
from local councils which help
offset the cost of insurance. When
other expenses were paid last year
she was left with $2,170 for her
months of work, about $4 per hour.
The high cost of insurance
worried her, Mrs. Mutter told
council. Whenshetookoverthe
school two years ago insurance cost
$150, she said. This present year
the cost had doubled to $300 and
indications are that when the
coverage comes up for renewal
next spring it could more than

Wawanosh Townships, and is selling standing marked trees to
reputable fueiwood contractors.

no partial sales.

She wondered about the possi
bility of having the playschool
taken under the umbrella of the
Brussels, Morris and Grey recrea
tion committee to take advantage
of its insurance coverage. “I think
it’s basically a recreation facility”
she said.
There might be grants available
under a municipal setup which
aren’t available to an individual
such as* Mrs. Mutter, Clerk-trea
surer Hugh Hanly told council.
Any grants would be small pota
toes, Mrs. Mutter said, compared
to the grants which have been
given to municipal day-care facili
ties in larger communities such as
Listowel and Wingham which are
now endangered by government

cut-backs.
Councillor Betty Graber said she
would like to see the playschool set
up in the library and operating for a
while to see how it was working out
before moving on to such a
decision. Mrs. Mutter agreed
there was no problem until the end
of the current year because even if
there is an increase in insurance
costs it would only involve the last
two months of the current school
year.
Council agreed to rent the
facility atacostof $5 per day for
three days a week but turned down
a request from Mrs. Mutter to get
her own key because council is
trying to limit the number of keys
for security purposes.
