The big news of this week is that
Joan Jacobs is back. She's been
carousing in Ireland the past two
weeks and has returned with some
wonderful stories to tell. She's on a
first-name basis with our Canadian
Ambassador and has a new view on
the Blarney Stone. We're glad
you're back in Brussels Joan and are
thrilled that you had such a good
time.
I'm the new proud keeper of an
angel statue called Lucinda. It's one
of those items you need to see to
believe, but she's one of this world's
treasures. Her card states-she's the
guardian of mid-life women and
holds a magic wand to help her in
her duties. Mind you, it looks like a
bubble blowing stick but it is so
reassuring to know that there is a
special angel called Lucinda whose
main job is to keep this wor.derful
group of humans in balance.
London Conference of the United
Church of Canada met this weekend
in Brigden. Lots of celebrating,
singing, reviewing and challenging
went on at their fairgrounds. Over
600 were registered and the
permanent buildings that are part of
their community fairgrounds made it
a good place to meet.
The children and youth at the
conference were excellent as they
pushed us into the future seeing the
world that needs so much care under
the theme, Caring for God's
Children. Ten new ministers were
introduced at the Saturday night
service which was attended by well
over a thousand people. Buses from
Goderich and Stratford brought
family and friends of the three new
ministers from Huron/Perth,
Our area was well represented as
we did the business of the church.
Traffic jams were reported in the
village on Saturday as lots of visitors
made the rounds with their maps of
the available garage sales. Sounds
like everyone had a good time
exchanging treasures. The Thrift
Shop thanks you for giving us only
the good leftovers.
Take a drive in the country this
week and really look at the scenery —
the colour and growth are really
awesome.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
Vandals
destroy
birdhouses
On May 21 shortly after 9:30 p.m.
OPP were contacted by a Cub
leader in Brussels over vandalism.
The leader told police that a
group of youths age four to six
years had built 15 birdhouses and
put them into the park in Brussels.
Sometime in the last week all the
birdhouses were destroyed.
Many cases of vandalism have
occurred in Brussels over the last
year and OPP are asking the public
to help solve the crimes. Please call
the OPP or Crime Stoppers with
any tips.

Guild was held in the church
parlour on Tuesday, May 21 with
nine members present.
Eluned McNair and Isabel Gibson
were in charge of the devotions.
Mrs. McNair opened the meeting
with a reading In May. For the
Beauty of the Earth was sung.
Mrs. Gibson read a poem, Room
in Her Heart. The scripture, Mark 4:
13-20 was read in unison, followed
by prayer.
Mrs. McNair read the topic, May.
Fairest Lord Jesus was sung and the
Mizpah Benediction was repeated
by all.
The president, Leona Armstrong
presided over the business. She
gave a reading entitled Weeds. She
thanked Mrs. Gibson and Mrs.
McNair for their part in the meeting,
and everyone for helping with the
springtime supper and the funerals.
The correspondence included
thank you cards from Jeanne
Ireland, Kathleen Semple and the
Verbeek family.
The president reported on the
Thankoffering envelopes and Jean
Bewley gave the treasurer's report.
The roll call was answered by
everyone telling something of
interest about their mother.

Campbell offered to be in charge of
the June meeting.
A Note of Feelings to my
children & friends, etc.
As I get older I notice a lot of sick elderly men
and women, some I know personally, some I
don't. But a while ago I met a lady in the
hospital. My husband and I knew her quite well
as a sweet, gentle, kind, quiet, very friendly
and intelligent person. I used to call her an
angel. She had become quite sick and was
yelling and screaming at the nurses and
telling her family and friends to go home and
get away from her, she didn't want to see them
and she didn't love them or like them anymore
- "Get out she shouted". My eyes filled with
tears and as soon as i got home I wrote this —
not a poem, no fantastic words — just how I
feel in my heart
"Children" No one in this world knows how
dear you are to me except our "Higher Power".
I can only hope that one day if I am sick and
you or my friends come to see me that you
would understand me! "Please" my lips may
be moving but my heart will only be saying, I
love you and if you can stay awhile please do,
but I also know you have families and you
must have a life of your own. "Please" if I am
extremely hard to deal with take it with a grain
of salt — my mind has been played with by
many and my memories have escaped me.
Please God let them understand for we know
not what we sayl Love Mom X0X0 (Helen
Brenie) P.S. Cathy C.1 finally did it!
