A Note from Betty Uck - I had to scrape frost this morning and I was just starting to enjoy those nice fall days. Oh well, life goes on. It's good to see Mary Lowe and Sheila Richards back in community circulation. Rev. Ernest Dow was welcomed to Blyth United Church on Sunday evening by many area folk. My good surprise was to find I knew his mother Winnifred from a few years ago. So do your mother proud Ernest. I know you will. Fall schedules are in full swing - Brownies, dance, Guides, Cubs and Scouts, skating, music lessons, hockey, exercises - enjoy! Take a stroll in the falling leaves. Bye now, Betty G. Anyone with stories or news about the Brussels community contact Betty at 887-9231. Bi# project Huronlea Volunteer Auxiliary is erecting a pavillion as a special project for the International Year of the Older Person. It has been purchased for $1,500 from the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority, which had it built on the Huron County Showcase area at the International Plowing Match. It will be placed on the north-west side of Huronlea for the enjoyment of the residents and visitors. Here with it are Auxiliary members Leona Armstrong, left and Audrey Cardiff with their husbands Jim and Jack. IPM pavilion comes to Huronlea The Huronlea Auxiliary recently decided to purchase a pavilion to shade residents from the heat and sun while eating or socializing out­ doors. It was a project in recogni­ tion of the International Year of the Older Person. The Auxiliary purchased the pavilion constructed by the Aus­ able-Bayfield Conservation Authority for the International Plowing Match. Monday, Sept. 27 it was moved to Huronlea. “As our budget was limited we are very thankful to the people who At the Branch helped out free of charge,” said Audrey Cardiff, who along with her husband. Jack as well as Jim and Leona Armstrong spearheaded the move. County employee Joe Steffler transported the pavilion on a flatbed truck and arranged for a police escort, okayed by Staff Sergeant Gary Martin. The retired officers Hal Claus and Ken Brown­ lee donated their time. Upon its arrival at the north-west side of the county home for the aged, the pavilion was unloaded by tractors and help from Merle Hoegy, Max McLellan, Allan Cardiff and Doug Sholdice. Keep­ ing watch were some of the resi­ dents, “probably thinking they could give us some suggestions on how to get this done,” said Audrey. To erect the pavilion the Auxil­ iary is planning a work day in the secured courtyard section of the property. “Anyone interested in helping hands-on or with a small donation to help cover the costs of a cement pad we later hope to install, can contact Cardiff's at 887- 6457 or Armstrongs at 887-6753. Scouts fundraise This year there are five Brussels Scouts and 14 Cubs. The scout leader is Karen Slater. This year the scouts and the cubs are having fundraisers for supplies and other things.

Legion hosts successful events By Jo Ann McDonald What a wonderful afternoon was enjoyed by seniors and students alike at the Legion on Friday, Sept. 24. Thanks to the Legion veterans for being informative and fun for our visiting friends. Donald Dunbar and Sandra Josling did an excellent job of organizing the event. An excellent story in The Citizen explained. What an interesting afternoon it was. The slo-pitch tournament hosted by the Legion was a success. Winners were Sandy Huether's team defeating Bryan Neill’s team. The B champs were the Legionnaires which defeated Sherri McLachlan’s team and the C champs were Rick McDonald's team which defeated Rob Willie's. A bus travelled to Parkwood Hospital in London to visit and entertain the veterans on Saturday, Oct. 2.
