A NOTE FROM BETTY
I really, really don't like shivering
in June but I'll be darned if I'm
going to put my mitts on — so I'll just
have to keep moving. At this
temperature the pretty flowers will
be with us for a while but will the
strawberries be here before July?
At the Branch
The Brussels Fire Department had
a dandy crowd out for breakfast on
Sunday and as usual it was good —
maybe they could be encouraged to
start a side business as the flaming
cooks in their off hours. Thanks
crew, you do our community proud.
The next planning meeting for
Kid's Corner is set for July 15. Call
Yvonne Dettweiler or Jill Sholdice if
you can help. Set aside Aug. 5 - 9 to
invite your grandkids for holidays
and we'll look after them in the
afternoons with visions of
shipwrecks and dreams. Registration
forms are available for pickup at
5R's.
Father's day was a chilly one
outside but I'm sure all the family
gatherings were filled with lots of
warm food and love as they gathered
to celebrate family.
Year-end is coming, or here,
depending on whether you are in
public or high school and either way
the excitement level is pretty high.
Year-end activities are taking place
and the graduation parties are in the
planning and the nice long summer
is a dream - ah the memories in the
making. Enjoy the days.
We're in a learning curve with the
construction trade. It's really pretty
neat watching others do their jobs.
Digging holes, pouring gravel and
cement in precise places is made to
look so easy.
Quite fascinating really.to watch a
nice lawn turn into a clay hill. The
potential completion of our project
gives me hope.
I can now attest that John and Paul
really are good. Even I see an
improvement.
Agnes Ten Pas was celebrating
life in the 60s last Monday with
singing messages from her family
from B.C., brunch with siblings and
ice-cream with five ladies
appropriately dressed for birthday
afternoons.
Don't forget Decoration Day at
our beautiful cemetery and Ethel
firefighters' breakfast next weekend.
Bye now, Betty G. W.

Quiet week at the Legion
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It was pretty quiet around the
Brussels Legion Branch this week.
The Cadets, Beavers and dart nights
are over. The ball tournament
scheduled for last weekend was
cancelled due to lack of teams. The
Friday night supper of turkey was
enjoyed by many. This week is
Salisbury steak.
Comrades Doreen Rutledge and
Gordon Workman are still patients in
Seaforth hospital.
Our condolences to Comrade Gary
Emmerson and wife Isabel on the
passing of Gary's mother in British
Columbia.
Don't forget to save pop tabs and
drop them into the Branch.
The Ladies Auxiliary and Branch
can use extra hands for a banquet
WI meets
with Bluevale
The Majestic Women's Institute
met with the Bluevale Women's
Institute for their June meeting on
June 12. There were nine members
from Brussels and 10 from Bluevale
in attendance.
Bluevale WI ladies served lunch
in the Bluevale Hall.
Mrs. Peel, Bluevale WI president,
presided over the opening exercises.
Reports were read and a few items
of business were discussed.
Edna McLellan expressed
Majestic's appreciation for the
enjoyable lunch and meeting.
The ladies then went to view the
flower gardens at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Leo Sanders.
I will be unavailable
for service as of
June 18 until July 17.
Retail available by
chance. Thanking
you ahead for your
patience and
understanding.
