Hitler Brussels
reeve says
A perfectly formed stone ar-
rowhead, in good condition, was
picked up in a field on his farm by
Stan Fischer of the Cranbrook
community.
This is not the first evidence
that some Indian Tribe was in the
area of this particular farm in
years gone by.
sometime ago, while ex-
cavating for a renovation project,
a block of stone, with clear
indications that it had been
attached to a handle, and in all
proability, used as a hammer,
was unearthed. It, unfortunately
had been damaged. One corner
was broken off.

The musical "Fiddler on the
Roof" will be presented by the
student Drama Club of the
F.t.Madill Secondary School,
Wingham i on June 1-2-3. This is
a delightful play and we hear via
the grapevine that it is ex-
ceedingly well done by members
of the cast. Three young ladies of
Brussels are members of the east,
Susan Langlois, Laurie Moore
and Elizabeth Exel

Cal Krauter, the reeve of the
/Wage of Brussels, said Friday at.
:county council that he had been
doing some thinking about
council's decision in April to ask
that certain "dirty" books be
removed from the required
reading list in Huron County
secondary schools.
Since that meeting, Krauter
said he's read two of the three
books in question, and decided
that the excerpts provided by the
Kingsbridge Catholic Women's
League upon which the county
decision was made, do not provide
a fair assessment of the books and
their value..
The Kingsbridge ladies picked
out . the worst of them," said
Krauter. He said he'd had second
thoughts about censorship,
recalling that Hitler had burned
books in Germany in 1939.
"And we all know what
happened after that," said
Krauter.
He asked how many county
councillors had read the books in
question--The Diviners, The
Catcher in the Rye and Of Mice
and Men.
Only Bayfield Reeve Ed
Oddleifson answered. Oddleifson
admitted he hadn't read the
books.
"But I've read the excerpts,"
was worth $10,000, too. The
number of the ticket was 18802 in
series 36.
• Mr. Ten Pas's first reaction
was that he couldn't bell eve he
had won. "I got shivers all over.
We looked at it a dozen times to
make sure," he said.
One of the coincidences was
that as a rule, Mr. Ten Pas might
buy maybe one or two Wintario
tickets. The first time he bought a
full book of tickets he won $25.
His second Wintario winning was
said Oddleifson. He said- the
writers of such books shouldn't
even be classed as authors, and
added that resorting to such
tactics showed "a lack of good
taste.' '
No further action was taken on
the matter.
Walton WI
show quilts
Walton Community Hall was a
quilt fancier's dream Saturday
afternoon as 80 quilts of various
types and ages were displayed by
the. Walton women's Institute.,
The quilts, which belong to
members were borrowed from
friends, included one ,owned by
Mrs. R.G.Hazlewood, made by
her great-great-grandmother
about 1800 and brought to Canada
with the family about 1818. A lily
pattern in pale orange and green,
its design and quilting were both
impressive.
Besides a special display of
antique quilts, appliqued ,
patchwork, embroidered, painted
and plain quilts were on display.

only the second time he had
bought a full book of tickets and
the winning ticket was right on
top.
He doesn't buy Wintario tickets
all the time and sometimes when
he does he even forgets to look at ,
them Ito see if he's won.
Sometimes he even forgets where
he puts them.
"It's sort of careless. From now
onI won't be," Mr. Ten Pas said.
He plans to continue buying
Wintario tickets.
The Ten Pas plan to put their
new-found wealth toward car
payments on their new station
Wagon which they just bought the
night before the Wintario draw.
"It's going to make car
payments easier," Mr. Ten pas,
said.
As for the rest of the money, if
there's any left over after car'
payments they're not sure what
they're going to do with it.
"We've got lots of places to put
it, if there's anything left over we
might go on a holiday ," Mr. Ten
Pas said.
He added that it's not going to
change their lifestyle.
When Mr. Ten Pas told hi s
wife Mary he had won, she
thought he was joking and his
daughter Carol who had been
looking through the newspaper
for news to take to school
commented that she wouldn't
have to take any clipping.
She'd just tell them the news
about her father winning in
Wintario!

feel they must ride on the
sidewalk. Unless they are more
careful it will only be a matter of
time before someone is injured.
Elderly folk, who are not as agile
as they once were, may not be
able to dodge a fast moving bike
coming at them as they step out of
the doorway, of a business place.
Often pedestrians are not aware
of a speeding bike coming behind
them and could step, unknow-
ingly, into its path. Enjoy your
bikes kids but do be careful if you
are on a sidewalk. It would be
even wiser if you followed all
safety rules for bicycles

A Brussels man is $10,000
richer thanks to the role'
coincidence played in helping him
win in the Wintario draw
Thursday night.
Albert Ten Pas didn't watch the
draw but watched the hockey
game instead. On Friday morning
he told his daughter Carol to look
up the winning Wintario numbers
in the paper and there was his
number right on top.
It was the only winning number
without the series number that
