Majestic
meeting
The Majestic Women’s met in the
Brussels library on Wednesday
afternoon, Jan. 8 at 11:30 p.m. with
14 ladies present.
The meeting opened with a
moment’s silence in memory of
Jane Devries who passed away on
Dec. 22. Jane was a devoted WI
member.
The Ode and Mary Stewart
Collect were repeated and Lucy
Hesse, president, gave a short
reading “If You Can’t go Over, Go
Around.
Secretary Leona Armstrong read
the report from November and
December meetings and treasurer
Edna McLellan gave the financial
report. Mrs. Armstrong read several
thank you notes for the Christmas
boxes which were given out.
Material has been purchased to
make a quilt.
Plans were made for a soup and
sandwich lunch followed by euchre
in the Brussels library on Thursday,
Feb. 6 at noon.
Marguerite Thomas introduced
the guest speaker Nelva Scott,
whose message was about
diabetics. The number of people
with diabetes is growing. It is
treatable but not curable.
There are three types of diabetes.
The type 1, which is juvenile
diabetes, is usually hereditary. Type
2 is adult and type 3 is gestational.
Mrs. Scott explained the
symptoms and what can be done to
treat them and the complications
which may arise.
Happy Birthday was sung to Mrs.
Armstrong.
Following the meeting a surprise
auction of wrapped articles was
held with Mrs. Hesse as auctioneer.
The proceeds of $61.75 from the
auction are to go to the Adelaide
Hoodless Home Upkeep Fund.

time with lots of games, the usual
practices and the pre-arranged
tournaments making for a near
overload of the national sport. Be
calm parents, it will soon be spring.
The required annual meetings of
many organizations are now
Yippee, a snow day. Actually most
of the weekend let us know that
January had arrived. There is
something very calming about a
white landscape with lots of
snowflakes in the air. It is a good
time to really think about how badly grab your mitts and hats and go to
you have to go somewhere. So enjoy
the time given to you by Mother
Nature’s schedule.
The hockey crews are in their busy
At the Branch
the Kyoto Accord. I found one that
had several suggestions that each of
us can do to improve our air quality.
The drivers of the world can stop
idling their vehicles. It is no longer
efficient to let your car run while
you do errands and the vehicles now
scheduled so get your reports in and do not need any more than a minute
save that date. Your attendance is
very important, for it’s the members,
not the executive who make an
organization flourish. So be sure to
attend and voice your opinion.
The Brussels Skating Carnival is
scheduled for Feb. 2. All the
members are hoping you’ll be able
to attend. For $5 you’ll get a look at
the Wild, Wild West on skates. So
the arena at 1 p.m. that day. You’ll
have a good time.
There is lots in the news and
papers in the last few months about
to warm up. Save our planet and do
not let uceless carbon dioxide float
into the atmosphere when you pop in
for the mail or other wee er
rands.
The other suggestion that is very
doable is to replace regular light
bulbs with the small energy-efficient
fluorescent ones. If each of us does a
little we may leave some good air for
our descendants, but we all need to
get serious about protecting the
earth.
Enjoy the snow

Auxiliary plans for catering
By Jo-Ann McDonald
The week at the Brussels Legion
began with the Ladies Auxiliary
holding its January meeting on
Monday evening. There were only
five members present but plans were
discussed for the upcoming catering
events.

meeting on Tuesday evenings at
6:30 p.m. It’s never too late to join,
so drop in for information and to
check it out. It’s open to young men
and women, ages 12-19.
The Thursday evening darts had
10 players taking aim. The first
place team was John Harrison and
Adam Smith. Coming in second
were Bruce Clark, Bill Kammerman
and Lawrence Machan. The high
shot of the night was made by
Sandra Josling getting 101.
The Friday night supper of ham
and scalloped potatoes was enjoyed
by over 30. This week will be
meatloaf.
On Saturday there were 18
Comrades going to Lucknow to
participate in Zone double darts.
There were three pairs that qualified
to advance to District darts in
March. Finishing second for the day
were Andy' Adams and Wade
Henderson. Finishing in the top 10
were Bob Richardson and Steve
Cochrane and Ken Bird and Eric
Ross.
Enjoying the day of competition
also were Gary Emmerson, Gary
Dauphin, Ron Schmidt, Jason
Breckenridge, John Harrison, Jim
Brown, Linda Bird, Margo
Richardson, Mike Dauphin, Andy
Overholt. Sandra Josling, and Julie
Harrison, who finished the day the
best of the worst. They report having
a great day.
Saturday evening after the meat
draws, we were fortunate to have the
use of a karaoke machine. It was
great fun for the crowd on hand and
hopefully it will return again.
