The high tide of opposition that
swept the U.S,A, when the
subject of changing to the Metric
System was first heard did not
accomplish any more for the
citizens of that country than it
had for Canadians who voiced
their criticism of the high cost of
the conversion, that was
considered unnecessary. The
11.5. is currently converting to
Metric in spite of a great deal of
opposition. The powers that be
say they have to do so to simplify
matters when dealing with other
conditions in the county last
winter resulted in a saving of
$60.000.

Fool that I was I believed those
who said that having all your
teeth extracted and replaced by
dentures "is no big deal". To me
it has been. Of course, that may
be because I'm a bit of a baby
when it conies to pain, Even with
the very best of attention and
comfort from dentist, doctor and
nurses, I was kept in hospital an
extra day when my unpredictable
tummy became indignantly upset
ftomthe anesthetic. That is being
followed by several days ,of sore
jaws, which made me keep my
mouth quiet, . and on an
unsatisfying liquid diet and dopey
from pain pills. So if this column
seems worse than would be,
please forgive me. Oh well, it had
to be done and sooner or later, I
will probably be saying "It was
not bad at all just a few days of
mild discomfort."
Jaw.iary to April 1978 totalled
approximately $240,000,
Allowing $150,000 for the
remainder of the year, which is
'he most that has ever been spent
for the same period' in previous
years, still allows a reduction of
$60,000 in the county's winter
control budget.
The Road Committee's report
also indicated that the Ministry of
Transportation and Communi-
cations will be allowing a supple-
mentary . subsidy . allocation
toward municipal drainage
assessments which, • it is esti-
mated, will mean an additional
$20,000 in revenue for the county.
This 'additional revenue, states
the report, along with a reduction
of expenditures, has allowed the
committee to forecast a surplus at
the year end of $95,000.

Last week's Brussels Post
stated that the Grey Township
Fire 'Department and some
neighbours helped to extinguish a
tire in the hay mow of a barn
owned by Murray Blake of R.R.2,
Brussels.
The Post was in error. There
was no fire but the mow was
really hot and the Blakes wanted
to save it, before it started to
hern.

Brussels exchange was British
made 1whieb wasn't to say that
was bad but since in any
exchange Bell builds they put in
Canadian equipment, j there is an
element of newness in the system
which was causing some dif-
ficulties.
He said the Brussels area
system was engineered dif-
ferently and Bell engineers had
found what they believed to be a
discrepancy in the engineering
which Bell is modifying and hopes
will clear up the problems.
Mr. Croome said Bell's engine-
ers had proved to their
satisfaction that once they com-
plete their modification plans it is
going to make a differencein the
phone service.
He also commented upon the
condition of the telephone wires
that run along the various conces-
sion roads. He said that most of
them had been there a long time
andtke Bell was going to have to
replaceNthetp at a cost of about
one milliort.dollarS.
He said that once Bell had
made modificatio ns, he believed
that the Brussels area would have
as good a service as anybody else.
