Legion hosts pub night BY SANDRA JOSLING This year Sept. 16 through Sept. 22 is Legion Week. All across Canada, Legions are showing the public what goes on beyond the front doors of their establishments. On Friday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. the Brussels Legion is hosting a Pub night. Here the public can enjoy a night of fun and comradeship while making inquiries about the Legion. (Such as membership, bursaries, nevada and volunteer involve­ ment). To do the amount of fundraising in the Legion each year it takes a lot of dedication by the membership. Brussels People The date is set. Sept. 18 & 19, the plans have been made, but volunteers are needed to make it happen. Can you bake pies? Brussels Fall Fair officials need them for Wednesday. They also need help in the food booth or help on Tuesday with the exhibits. Help is needed with the parade, collect­ ing admissions, setting up and clean up. Male or female if you have a few hours Sept. 17, 18 or 19 they can find you a job. Please call B. Mutter 887-6117 or come to the arena. However, these funds are not only for the upkeep of the Legion. Each year monies are donated back to the community through local ser­ vice groups, Hospitals, Children’s Aid Society, Cancer Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation, figure skat­ ing, Brownies, Cubs, Boy Scouts, Cadets, Public Schools, libraries, minor sports, junior hockey, the veterans’ wing of Parkwood Hospi­ tal and many more. We do urge the people of the community to come out, see how the Legion operates, and enjoy the friendship of our local comrades of Branch 218, Brussels. Ross and Esther Smith, Red Deer, Alberta visited with Bob and Isabelle Wheeler and family and other friends and relatives in Brussels, Hanover and Sarnia.

Charlie Turnbull has returned to his home in Edmonton after visit­ ing friends and relatives in Brus­ sels and Goderich.

Also present at those weddings were Ruth and Jim Axtmann, Marion and Lavern Godkin and Sharon, David and Pat Heming­ way, Brian and Shauna, Ross and Anne Hemingway and family. Brussels still has leaf problem Brussels village council still has a leaf problem on its hands as another fall approaches but coun­ cillors made it clear they don’t want leaves burned on asphalt streets. Deputy clerk-treasurer Donna White told council that there had been hopes some area farms might use the leaves for composting but the farmers involved said they weren’t interested. “It’s back to burn or not burn,” she said. Councillor Greg Wilson said people shouldn’t be able to bum on asphalt streets because of the damage it does to the pavement. Reeve Gordon Workman agreed. “We’re trying to fix the streets and they’re (the burners) trying to wreck them”, he said. The fire burns the tar out of the asphalt. There is a major difference of opinion about the burning of leaves with councillor Dave Hastings in favour of leaf burning while some others feels the leaves shouldn’t be burned. Council agreed that if people wanted to rake their leaves on weekends, village crew will pick up the bagged leaves each Monday morning and take them to the dump where they have been left to compost. Our goof In a report of the Aug. 7 meeting of Brussels village council The Citizen reported that water and sewer services were to be provided under an agreement for the exten­ sion of Frederick St. In reality, only water is to be provided as well as the street being extended. In addition it was stated that four landowners had agreed to pick up the costs under the agreement but one of the landowners along the street has not agreed to sign the agreement.
