Prices were strong at the annual 4-H Thanksgiving Show and Sale at Brussels Stockyards on Tuesday, with the top calf selling for 1.33/lb. Taken over the 60animalsshown by Huron and Bruce Beef Club members, the average price was $106.60, the average weight 1121 lbs. Donna Johnston, of RR 2, Bluevale, sold her 1300 lbs. steer to Dale Pletch at$1.14/lb. Miss Johnston showed the same animal to the top senior beef showmanship placing at the Brussels Fair in September, then was named Huron’s top overall showman at the Seaforth Fall Legion plans Ceilidh Saturday Fair. BYEUGENE JANESP.R.O. Saturday, October 18 is the ‘‘Ceilidh’’ (pronounced Cay-lee). A Ceilidh is a Scottish dance with intermissions during which enter­ tainers sing or dance. When the Brussels Pipe Band first formed back in 1953, they sponsored a dance once a year. In the late 1970’s they first began to call this annual dance a ‘ ‘Ceilidh ’ ’. The music for the Ceilidh will be provided by Norm Dunsmoore. Some of the entertainment provid­ ed during the intermissions this year will include: Scottish songs by Norm Dunsmoor and also by Aubrey Toll, as well as some Scottish dancing. The Brussels Pipe Band will also entertain. For anyone who has never attended a Ceilidh, it is an interesting experience. Many of those attending the dance wear various tartans which is very colourful. The Band attends in uniform. Those doing Scottish dancing wear Highland dress. Anyone wishing for a little taste of Scotland without the bother and cost of travelling all that way would do well to attend the Ceilidh. The Brussels Pipe Band should be congratulated on their ingenu­ ity in organizing this very different type of dance for the people in this area to enjoy. A thought to ponder: you don't have to be from Scotland to enjoy a Ceilidh, any more than you have to be from Germany to enjoy Oktober­ fest. Come out and enjoy the fun. BE IT PROCLAIMED that October 16,1986 be: “World Food Day” in the municipality of Brussels and that all citizens will welcome the opportunity to increase their awareness of severe world hunger and its solutions by participating in local events to force the issue into public view.

Hugh Hanly Cierk-Treasurer. ^people around Brussels I Mrs. Nelson Ernstof Exeter and Mrs. Edith Baker of Brussels spent four days holidaying in Fort Erie, Stevenson and Niagara Falls visit­ ing with former school chums and also attended the church they used to go to on Sunday. They also had a great experience while at the Welland Canal to see several lake boats and two over­ seas ships pass through under the large bridges. Edith said it was really exciting to see these over­ seas ships as they were so huge they looked to be about 17 stories high. The weather was no different down there than it was here and the Niagara River which was near where she went to school and used to drink water from is just like our own Muddy Maitland. Mrs. Janet Mathers of Wing- ham and Mrs. Mabel Wheeler of Belgrave visited at the nursing home last week. They also enjoyed lunch at the Golden Lantern. Mrs. Mathers used to be a teacher and had taught Joan’s children in school. Mrs. Sharon Good and son Matthew of Blyth visited at her parents Mr. and Mrs. Henry Exel last Tuesday.

Good work guys, there will be a lot of work ahead for you, just like last year. They will also be attending a clinic in Clifford to upgrade their level. Best of luck to the Homecoming committee, and we hope everyone will pitch in and help. As Mary Lowe says, ‘‘we did it before and we’ll do it again. If everyone has this spirit how can we fail.” We are glad to hear that Vi Heibein has been able to come home from her stay in the hospital and hope she improves soon.
