R. Sauve hosts Majestic picnic

as the Grade 8 class of Brussels

Bill and Sandra Clark were
recently hosts to Ken and Millie
Brady of Swanmore (near
Southampton) Eng. and also to
Sister Maureena Fritz of Jerusalem,
Israel, although very briefly.
The Bradys arrived early in June
and stayed with the Clarks for a
few days before leaving to do a
clockwise tour around Lake
Ontario. The weather was good for
them and they visited some
interesting, off the main road places
that many have not heard of. After
a week away they returned to
Brussels.
Bill and Ken rode to Paris for a
BMW motorcycle group breakfast
and attended the Canadian Vintage
Motorcycle Group rally. Ken found
a couple of treasures to take home
with him.
On the Monday, Maureena
arrived to pick up her motorcycle.
She was headed for Saginaw, MI,
Cincinatti, OH, and finally,
Toronto where she will teach a
course at a university for a couple
of weeks. Maureena is Canadian
bom, but for almost 10 years has
been a resident in Israel.
The Bradys and the Clarks
accompanied her to the Bluewater
Bridge to start her trip. Before
returning to England on the
Thursday, Ken and Millie took a
short tour in the Meaford area,
which they liked very much.

Answer to last week’s puzzle:
CRUSADER CEREMONY GREETING AWARDS
This is how a buyer of old furniture described Don McNeil’s
parade jalopy.
It looks like an “ANTIC” CAR 97-07-02
On Wednesday, June 25 19
members of the Majestic Women's
Institute met at the home of Past
President Ruth Sauve for a summer
picnic.
Vincent Bauer, Doug Mitchell
and Ashley Keffer along with their
assistant leader gave a
demonstration of their most recent
4-H club - Novice Photography.
Some of the special effects shown
were to put your foot on top of a
toy silo and it would appear like a
giant standing on a silo or to have
someone lie down with a rope as
you would appear if you were
climbing a building.
Ontario Student Exchange
Foundation participant Crystal
Semple was then introduced to
speak on her exchange to France.
She located the area in which she
stayed on a map. It was 20 minutes
outside Paris by train.
The area she stayed was about
the size of Brussels with about
three times the population. France
is very crowded, said Crystal.
It is very expensive to drive there
as some of the roads have toll
booths every so many kilometres.
Many drive motorcycles and
bicycles.
Crystal attended a language
Pair purchase
CN rail lots
What sat deserted for years has
been granted a new life.
Two lots of the abandoned CN
railbed which ran through Grey
Twp. were sold to a young Palmer
ston couple during an auction sale
last Wednesday, said Grey Clerk-
Treasurer Brad Knight.
Situated next to Grey Central
Public School, near Ethel, the two
lots went to the same bidder, mak
ing for a more appealing property,
he said.
With the deal closing at the end
of July, Knight said the township
is satisfied with the results of the
sale.
Correction
There was an error in the report
of the BMG Recreation board, in
the June 25 issue of The Citizen.
The Brussels Lions Club will be
spending $15,000 on the play
ground and pool site.
To clarify another point, recre
ation board members who are
working Homecoming events will
not pay admission for those events.
school Monday to Saturday from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The classroom
atmosphere was a great deal
different than what one is used to
here, she said.
The French fashion style is to
wear many, many layers of
clothing, Crystal said, with up to as
many as seven layers at one time
and everyone wore winter jackets
while Crystal wore tank tops to
school.
The largest industries were
media, perfume, fashion and wine.
The second largest selling
magazine is The TV Guide. Their
television agenda is quite different
than here with them playing the
complete show then running up to
10 minutes of commercials straight.
Crystal found the commercials
funny and interesting, otherwise
people would just turn the station.
The programs were much the
same as here, ER, Melrose Place,
NYPD Blue, Simpsons, only in
French.
Pastas, salads and fresh baguettes
purchased at open air markets were
among some of the foods eaten
with wine being served at every
meal, but breakfast.
Workday schedules are much
different than Canadians, due
primarily to the two-hour lunch
breaks. A "real" French meal
should take about three hours,
consisting of about 10 courses with
a different wine and cheese with
each course.
Crystal talked of several sites she
saw as well as it costing $2 to go
up the Eiffel Tower and $2.50 to
