A Note from Betty
If it seemed unusually quiet the first part of the week, it might be because
our politicians were in Toronto at the Good Roads Convention soaking up
all the knowledge and product information available to our municipal
representatives. Hope you had a good time and learned lots.
It sure is quiet here. The noise and confusion of having a grown son home
for six days was wonderful but Curt had to be back in Ottawa for Sunday.
And besides I was ready for my privacy. My, I’m getting stuffy.
Thirteen girls from our community did us proud last week as they strutted
their talents as part of the All Girls’ Marching Band presentation at the
school. The purpose of the evening of entertainment was to showcase the
talent in our midst, give us an awareness of the costs of this program and to
celebrate the music from Brussels Public School. By learning to play an
instrument at the grade school level opportunities are available to our young
friends including joining the Seaforth band, increasing their talents even
more and having a chance to travel with their peers.
After the Girls Band had wowed us - the students from our school let their
talents out by performing several band numbers, piano solos, a violin duet
and a dance number - very enjoyable!
Go for a coffee on Saturday afternoon at the United Church from 1 -
4 p.m. While there you can browse through lots of good books that Joan
Golden has brought you. The book display is from the Resource Centre in
Mitchell, a main street, church-operated book and resource store.
Well ladies, I hope you have plans made for Feb. 29. Keep up the tradition
and make your Leap Year wishes known.
Bye now,
Betty G.

At the Branch
By JoAnn McDonald
It was a busy week at the Legion
as we continue our efforts to keep
our Branch going. Friday night
saw a great crowd enjoy the
cooking of Rosemarie. Remember
anyone can come in and enjoy the
meal and social atmosphere - you
don’t have to be a member.
Saturday, 16 Legion members
travelled to Tara to compete at
District cribbage. They had a lot of
fun but unfortunately no winners.
Better luck next time.
Saturday also had 10 tables of
euchre players downstairs at the
Branch. The first place winners
with a high score of 81 were Len
and Betty Archambault. The
second place winners were Isabel
Gray and Shirley Dittmer with 73
and tied for third place were the
two teams of Harvey Edgar and Ed
Stewart and Arthur and Maxine
Hinze with 72 points. The lone
hand winners were Edna McLellan
and Lloyd Appleby.
Sunday was busy beginning with
breakfast served from 8 a.m. to I
p.m. A good crowd enjoyed bacon,
eggs, pancakes and more.
The day was topped off with the
singles dance crowd enjoying the
music of Country Ways.
