People
Jane Devries returned home on
Sunday from Holland, where she
and a granddaughter had been
holidaying. They visited, besides
relatives, an orchid greenhouse,
the Dolfitarium at Harderwyk and
museums etc. in Amsterdam.
It was a busy weekend for the
members of the Brussels Fire
Department, but, fortunately not in
the way one might expect. Early
Saturday morning the group began
work tearing down the house on the
neighbouring property, which the
village purchased for possible fu
ture expansion plans. Just a few
hours later in the afternoon, it was
down.
Also, during the weekend the
annual ball game played against
the Grey Township firemen was
played and Chief Howard Bernard
says everyone left happy. Both
teams won! You’ll have to ask him
how that works.
Weather doesn’t dampen fair
The inclement weather last Wed
nesday had little affect on the
attendance at Brussels Fall Fair.
Secretary-Treasurer for the Brus
sels Agricultural Society Barb Mut
ter, said that while she hasn’t
completed all the bookwork it
appears that the attendance at the
gate was not down significantly
from last year.
The weather did cause cancella
tion of the parade although some
hardy souls still did take part in an
impromptu parade of their own.
Mrs. Mutter added that the Pet
Show and Talent Contest on Tues
day night proved very successful.
“All in all I’d say it turned out
quite well,’’ she said.
Petro Canada pulls
out of small centres
A decision to close down Petro
Canada gas stations in small towns
has left J.L. McCutcheon’s in
negotiations with Shell to pick them
up.
According to McCutcheon’s own
er, Bob Richmond, Petro Canada
felt that the costs of transporting
fuels in bulk to areas that did not
pump in excess of 1,000,000 litres
were too high. “We were just
slightly under, but we had to
replace one of the old unprotected
tanks, so it happened sooner,’’ said
Mr. Richmond.
After looking at all the brand
names, Mr. Richmond said, the
company approached Shell.
Though the contract hasn’t been
signed the change will be effective
on October 1.
Brussels bowlers

ingway were third, two wins plus

On the same afternoon 10 men

Claiming the trophy was Gerald
Gibson and Ross Turvey with four

Coultes and George Inglis with two
