The fields are abuzz with activity
as the farmers get on the land. A
drive in the country this week was a
quick review of all the different
machinery needed to feed the world.
It was a time of appreciation for our
land and the farmers.
Water quality hit the news again
this week — scary stuff. It's time we
stop to appreciate the cycles of life
and how we assist or interfere with
• Our prayers and thoughts go out to
Comrades Cathy Snyder, Roy Brenie
and Alf Sutton as they cope with
health problems.
The nice weather always creates a
slow down in attendance at the
Branch but the bills go on. Any sup-
port you can give the Branch over
the summer by dropping in, attend-
ing functions or helping at them
would be appreciated.
Let's see you in At The Branch.
the water and our land. The parties,
reunions and gatherings continue as
we enjoy the good times of May. It
seems Ray Brown, father of Meghan,
got missed when the wedding guests
were named last week.
I'm having trouble concentrating
as I keep'thinking about twn quiet
men who died recently. Murray Long
was an artist with carpenter tools and
many homes in Brussels show his
talents. Spence Scott was a commu-
nity volunteer who gave his time and
smile to many good organizations.
So, like many in Brussels, I'm feel-
ing sad because we'll miss them
here.
Share a hug.
