Any parade in Brussels wouldn’t
be the same if Don McNeil and his
remodelled 1928 Ford A Pick-up
weren’t part of it. A familiar sight
to locals, Don’s vehicle has now
received recognition of a different
kind. Bob Richmond entered the
truck in Inside Tracks first Ugly
Truck contest. Dubbed the “yuck
truck’’ by the judges, it won first
honourable mention.
Mr. Richmond receives a com
mendation for finding the truck the
Inside Track thought “existed only
in the mind of our illustrator”.
Mr. and Mrs. Mel Jacklin of
Brussels were visiting this past
weekend in Thornton with Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold Jacklin. During their
stay they helped Wilma Jacklin
celebrate her birthday.
The families of the late Oliver
and Mary Smith of Grey Township
held a bi-annual reunion at the
Walton Community Hall on Sun
day, June 11. Over 60 relatives
attended and enjoyed a smorgas
bord dinner. Guests from Hanover,
Windsor, London, Arva, Missis
sauga, Hamilton and surrounding
area had the opportunity to social
ize and reminisce familiar faces
and new acquaintances.
Laurence Jacklin is currently a
patient at St. Joseph’s Hospital in
London. We wish him a speedy
recovery.

Fire Dept, gets compressor
purchase.
Fire Chief Howard Bernard was
given permission by Brussels Vil
lage Council June 5 to purchase a
compressor for the fire depart
ment.
Chief Bernard explained to coun
cil that the department is having
trouble keeping the air tanks, used
to go inside burning buildings,
filled with air. Currently the de
partment purchases large tanks of
compressed air and these are used
to fill the six small back-packs used
by the firemen. As the pressure in
the large tanks drops, however, the fire department to pay for the
amount of air that can be forced in
the backpacks also drops, meaning
firemen can stay inside a building
for a shorter length of time. In
addition it’s hard to get all the air
out of the large tanks and there’s
no credit given for the air left in the
tanks when they’re returned.
Clinton fire department had re
cently purchased a new compressor
at a cost of $12,000 but the Clinton
Chief Fred Lobb had told Chief
Bernard he felt a smaller compres
sor costing only $8,000 would
the job just as well.
Council orders
closing of
pool parlour
Following an order from Brussels
Village Council the Sea-Hut Coral
has removed its video arcade and
pool tables.
The order was delivered Tuesday
of last week after village council
decided the night before not to
grant licences to operate the two
facilities. Council made the deci
sion after a delegation of 10
neighbours protested the noise that
was coming from the business
where the pool tables and video
machines had been installed with
out permission. The equipment had
been removed by mid-week last
WApl(
Part of the expense of the
compressor system is that it must
purify all air before putting it into
the tanks.
The department is spending $700
to $800 for compressed air now and
the firemen are not using the tanks
as much as they should in practice
because of the problems and
expense of refilling the tanks.
Clerk-Treasurer Hugh Hanly told
councillors that they could use
money from the reserve fund set
aside for capital purchases for the
