By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-6236 8 g-9231 Darts resume 'At the Branch' Shiver, shiver — fall is here. Some parts of autumn I really, really like. The cycle of life part I appreciate, as the period of rest approaches with the falling leaves, the shrivelling plants, the stopped growth — all in preparation for the next stage of life. But I really don't like the wet cold until I finally clue in to get the proper clothes on — it's fall for heaven's sake. There are several stories going about telling of people who went on nice October fishing trips to have them very severely interrupted by gale force snowstorms. That's not a pretty picture fishing poles and boats and whiteouts'. Motels in Barrie made the fishing on the French River a little better say Chris and Jeff. Perhaps they'll take up knitting next year. One sweet little boy had the United Church folk smiling on Sunday as he got his baptism water organized to his liking. Ethan Bradley Hall, son of Don and Michelle and grandperson in the life of Jane, was a true gift from God as he let the Rev. Steven Cox do his thing until he could get his own wee hand into the water, then everyone was happy. It was good to see Dan and Michelle as well as Debbie and family back in our church. Sandra Cable, our student minister, was in Listowel looking after Rev. Cox's congregation that day. If you're looking for food next weekend, the Legion would like you to come to celebrate with them and be part of their meat draws or if you want your food cooked and ready to eat call the members of Ethel United and they'll save food for you for next Sunday. So you don't have to go hungry either Saturday or Sunday. Dig out the mitts and be ready and then we'll probably have some nice warm October days. Enjoy life. You only get one chance at it. Bye now,, Betty G.W. Mait-Side Orchard e have fresh pressed cider, apple butter and honey. Most varieties of apples as they become available.

Plans are in place for a great party on Saturday so come join us at the Legion to celebrate 75 years of service with 75 meat draws. Everyone is welcome and the entertainment begins at 4:30 p.m. with John Borton providing music, song and all-around fun. A bonus for Legion members paying their 2007 dues on Saturday, is a special draw to win their 2008 dues. The support of the local businesses has been fantastic and we hope that our many sponsors and their families and employees come out for an evening of fun. Draws will be going on throughout the evening with a total of 15 draws with five prizes in each FROM BRUSSELS By Jo-Ann McDonald Darts are returning to the Brussels Legion and start this Thursday at 8 p.m. It's blind mixed darts. Show up, pay a dollar, (partners are randomly picked), play and have fun. There are no assigned teams, no weekly commitment so show up when you can. It's just a fun night of aiming at the boards. The Friday night supper of roast pork saw a good crowd on hand. This week it's roast beef on the menu. It was District convention in Kincardine this weekend. President Jo-Ann McDonald attended the Saturday venue of the president's meeting and on Sunday Comrades Deb Cann and Glenn Bridge also attended. Comrade Gord Nichol is a patient draw. Comrades are reminded that the fall sports sheets are up and sign up now if you wish to participate in darts, curling or crib.
