THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1995. Stormy weather The ambulance from Clinton Public Hospital wends its way through the maze of cars and trucks to tend to the injured after six vehicles were involved in an accident on Hwy. 4, just south of Blyth last Wednesday afternoon. Blowing and drifting snow caused poor road conditions and whiteouts in the area. Goderich OPP report Police arrest 2 for theft at trailer There was a break and enter at a trailer on Conc. 8 in West Wawanosh between Dec. 31 and Jan. 3.

Two THE EDITOR, We would like to acknowledge the people of Brussels and surrounding area for their great community spirit getting their friends together to attend the New Year's dance at the community centre. A delicious lunch was donated by the ladies of B. M. & G. Catering Group. Doug Hemingway, Jack and Mary Bryans did their part greeting friends as well as handling money and tickets. Everything balanced out perfectly. Alvin and Pam McLennan Letter THE EDITOR, Blyth is not only famous for its leather mills, theatre and Pioneer Threshers weekend, but for the growing interest of the annual Rutabaga Festival that has been held the last weekend in June for the last five years. This past year a journalist for The Toronto Sun came to Blyth and wrote a column about the Rutabaga Festival. Vendors from Niagara Falls and Toronto called to join our weekend. A bus touring company from the northern U.S. called to see if the Rutabaga Festival could be included as a place of interest in their brochure. It's obvious the Festival has ignited interest across the country. The problem we have in Blyth is that we've lost our interest in the Festival. No response from individuals offering to come forward and support the committee were answered. Six women organized last year's Festival with help from the local businesses and service groups. I for one haven't had so much fun on a committee in suspects were arrested. On Jan. 7, a 1989 black Ford pick up truck was found in a ditch on Conc. 3 in Colborne Twp., just east of the airport road. The side and rear windows had been kicked out after the truck, which was stolen from the Murray Motors lot in Goderich, was driven around a field. The investigation is continuing. donated their time to running the bar with help from Kevin and Alicia Deitner. The decorating committee headed by Rita Mulvey gave the auditorium and wash- rooms a festive air. Spot dance prizes were donated by Keith Mulvey, Rene Richmond, Brussels Pharmacy and Oldfield Hardware. We had a special treat with one hour of old tyme music provided by Wilson McCurtney, Warren Whitmore and Dorothy and Harold Steffler accompanied on the piano by Doris Bradley. a long time but it was still very stressful having so few people to share the responsibility of running such a weekend. As I look back over the five years of the Rutabaga Festival and talk to past committee members I realize that there has been only very small committees that have organized this weekend. Publicity of the Rutabaga Festival has grown tremendously over the past five years, beginning from a unique idea by a handful of people. I truly hate to see the end of the Rutabaga Festival but unless there is involvement from more people in the community the Rutabaga Festival will not continue. It is still in its first faltering years but the potential is there for it to grow and be a successful venture for the community, like the Threshers weekend. The future of the Rutabaga Festival is in your hands. Needed One Rutabaga Chairperson! Needed One Large Committee! Brenda J. Burkholder, Blyth. Goderich OPP investigated a break and enter which occurred Dcc. 29 at the Service Centre on Main St., Dungannon. An estimated $50 damage was done to a window which was pried open, plus $320 worth of cigarettes were taken. On Dec. 30 an unlocked shed in McKillop Twp was entered and a rechargeable drill with charger in a A break in the eve with Leo Deitner calling a square dance was,_ enjoyed by young and old, with some of the young people exhibiting more know-how than some of the oldtimers. It was great fun, thanks Leo and musicians. Brian Searson, our D.J., was popular with everyone and that is a hard task to accomplish. Thanks Brian for playing an extra hour at the crowd's request. We have $2500 to go towards the ice machine and dishwasher. We would like to say a special thank you to everyone that bought tickets and helped with lunch, advertising and cleanup. We are so lucky to live in a community that works and plays in harmony. B. M. & G. Catering.

Also a special thanks to the many canvassers who gave their time and effort. The total amount received was $1,618.08. Lois McCall, Brussels.
