They all enjoyed the Hal loween activities including carving pumpkins and eating orange jello.

The bulletin board in the hallway was done by Mrs. Starkey’s class. They made a large wreath of pop pies in honour of Remembrance Day. In Miss Robertson's class, they enjoyed the games and festivities associated with Halloween. During November they will be learning about zoo animals. The Grade 7 class, guided by Mrs. Whitmore, presented a truly wonderful Remembrance Day pro gram for the rest of the school. Along with music, drama, slides, and poetry there was a genuine expression of thanks to all who gave their lives and suffered greatly for the benefit of future genera tions. violin.

Allan Teeft and Ab Hesslink, owners of the store appeared before council to explain their plans for expansion. Little did they imagine five years ago when the store was built that they would be approaching council to expand it, Mr. Hesslink told council. The first few years were pretty lean but "It's been very good for us in the town of Brussels. We've very pleased with the sup port from the town." Mr. Hesslink explained that plans are being developed to enlarge the store in the spring but the problem is that an old laneway goes through the area where the expansion would take place and sanitary sewers run through the old laneway. Engineers from Elliot Marr, the franchising company behind EMA, had been in touch with B. M. Ross Associates, the village's consulting engineer to develop a preliminary plan to allow for the expansion. The village's engineer felt the building could be built in such a way as to not damage the sewer but that an inspection with a television camera should be done before and after construction to make sure there was no damage inside the sewer. The plan would add 30 feet to the building, allowing for more space for larger aisles and add 162 feet of shelf space. Reeve Gordon Workman said he didn't see any problems if the engi neer agreed, as long as the compa ny realized that if anything did go wrong with the sewer, "you're the guy who would be out. If your engineer engineers it and our engi- neer approves it, it's okay with me." Other councillors agreed they would have no difficulty with the encroachment on the village right of way if the sewer line can be pro tected.
