At the Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It was quiet at the Brussels Legion
Branch this past week as things are
winding down. The Cadets practised
at the BM&G community centre for
their upcoming inspection.
The Friday night supper of
chicken wings had the best turnout
ever. -This week is roast pork.
Comrades Doreen Rutledge and
Al Nichol are in Goderich and
Wingham hospitals respectively.
Comrade Jim Brown survived his
surprise 50th birthday party on the
weekend and doesn't look any older.
Don't forget that the installation
of the new executive is Friday
evening in Seaforth. All members
are invited to attend at 8 p.m.
The Branch is holding a co-ed ball
tournament June 15. If you are
interested and have a team call John
Harrison or Sandra Josling.
Watch for the Branch's silent and
live auction Friday, June 7 and
Saturday, June. 8. Members who
have not responded are requested to
do so immediately. •
Well did you dig your long johns
out to celebrate the long weekend? It
was very strange weather going from
sunny and warm to rain then snow in
pretty quick time much to everyone's
amazement or horror depending on
whether you were tenting or trying to
get crops in.
Congratulations to Garry. Yuill and
his bride Beatrice Yeh, who were
married at Windemere Manor,
London, on Sunday.
Brussels folk in attendance were
Garry's aunt Juanita Smith, her
husband Doug Dale and their
daughter Marlene; Steve and Holly
McCutcheon; Jason Gropp and his
friend Lisa McLellan of Huron Park,
and Mark and Bonnie Gropp.
Acting as best man was Garry's
brother Glenn, now of Toronto.
Mr. and Mrs. Yuill are residing in
British Columbia.
OPP target
bad drivers
Until May 31, the OPP are
participating in the annual
aggressive driving campaign.
Officers will be strictly enforcing
aggressive driving offences such as:
speeding, following too close,
unsafe lane changes, improper
signalling, and disobeying traffic
controls, in particular — red light
and stop sign running.
"We will focus on locations with
high numbers of crashes,
complaints, or congestion", says
Traffic Sergeant Chris Whaley of
the Field and Traffic Support
Bureau. "This campaign is
important because aggressive
drivers don't see themselves as the
problem. That's what contributes to
them being aggressive. They blame
everyone else."
Motor vehicle collisions are
avoidable. They are caused by the
actions people take and the way
they drive.
The OPP wants help in keeping
roads safe. Obey the rules of the
road, expect delays so plan ahead,
and report aggressive drivers.
We're into the exciting season of
Pentecost in the church year and
making it special on Sunday the
Brussels United folks welcomed five
young members. Each one of them
took part in the service as they
celebrated the symbols of this
season. Candles were lit and vows
exchanged as families and friends
watched Jennifer Stangen, Matthew
White, Victoria Stangen, Ellen
Workman and Jeff Zehr become
members of the United Church of
Canada.
An article in The Kitchener Record
this week mentioned that less than
.,,half of the secondary students have
started their volunteers hours. Only
40 hours are required in the four
years, but they are needed to
graduate. The purpose of this
required 40 hours is to show kids the
role of volunteers in community and
to show them the satisfaction of
volunteering in places you enjoy.
Summer is a good time to get your
hours started and it just happens that
Kids Corner (Vacation Bible School)
needs volunteers. Give Jill Sholdice
887-6836 a call and get your hours
started. Have fun with the kids — the
week of Aug. 5 - 9 in the afternoon.
Adult helpers are needed as well.
Call Jill or talk to your church
representative.
The theme this year is Shipwrecks
and Dreams. Sounds like fun.
Enjoy the gardens.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
Best turnout ever
for wing night
Squeaky clean
It was a hardy Grade 8 group who spent time raising funds
with a car wash at the parking lot of Brussels Village Market
on Saturday. There were also hot dogs to enjoy. (Vicky Bremner
