They are over. The Municipal elections
have come and gone. The electioneering,the
waiting and the wondering are over. We
know now who will be carrying on our
Municipal business. It is to be hoped voters
have made a wise choice. That we will find
out in the next two years. It will not be an
easy term for those elected. There will be
problems ahead that will demand throught-
ful and wise decisions, we wish them well.
No matter what they do ,not everyone they
,serve will be satisfied.

A woman for the first time, will sit on
the incoming Village of Brussels Council.
She not _only found supporters for her no-
mination, not only was elected by the voters,
but headed the polls running against five
male candidates. It seems that people here
are ready to support a woman for council.
Judging by a remark I heard there are still
some who do not approve of a "Woman
among those men."

People of this community gathered at the
Cenotaph on November 11th for the Legion
Service of Remembrance. They joined
Legion members, Legion Ladies Auxiliary,
Guides, Brownies and Cubs in tribute to the
memory of those who had given their lives in
war. The Legion Pipe Band was in at-
tendance. Piper Jim McLean sounded
Reveille and The Last Post. The band led the
march to Brussels United Chaurch for the
service which follOwed: Relatives and fri-
ends need no special day to remember loved
ones lost but it is right that the younger
generations be taught to respect, acknow-
ledge, and honor those who made the
sacrifice for their future freedom.

This is the season of bazaars and bake
sales. The United Church Women wil hold
their Bake Sale, complete with crafts and
tea room on November 25th . There will be
the usual rush for homemade goodies
offered for sale. You may even find those
special Christmas gifts '-you have been
looking for in the crafts display. When you
have finished making your choice you can
enjoy refreshment in the tea room.

(Christmas is not far off. Stores are full of
display of Christmas cards, beautiful ex-
pensive things for giving, gift wrap,
Christmas goodies. Does it all sometimes
make you think that Christmas, has become
too commercialized? Here so much is given
and received while so many throughout the
world have so little;even to eat.

The football season is rapidly coming to a
close. With the crushing of the Hamilton
Ticats by. Montreal the final game for the
Grey Cup i spot in the Eastern, C.F.L.
Conference will be battled for by Ottawa
Rough Riders and Montreal Alouettes.
Can Ottawa snatch victory from the
championship Montteal team? If in passing
my home during that game
you hear shrieks
and hoot's it is not that I a ni being attacked.
It will just be me shrietking in despair or
hooting encouragement. With the befuddled
Toronto Argo out of it I will be rooting for
Ottatkia, As on avid football fan I ant all for
Ottawa dethOtiing Montreal. Montreal has
had it much, too much, their own ivaytoo
often:
