At the Branch Darters advance By Jo-Ann McDonald Congratulations to Ron Schmidt and Andy Adams who were first- place winners in the District doubles competition in Hepworth. They advance to provincial competition in Newbury on April 2. Also competing at District level are Ken Bird and Eric Ross. Thursday night darts at Brussels Legion saw 15 darters take aim at the boards. John Harrison and Catrina Josling had six wins. Coming in second were Julie Harrison and Adam Smith. Tied for third place were Sandra Josling and Gord Jacklin, and Lisa Glanville and Tom Warner. It was a night for high shots with Sheron Stadelmann shooting 121 for both high start and high shot. John Stadelmann shot a 171, high sHot and Lawrence Machan shot 100 for high start and 106 for a high finish. Unfortunately Norm Dobson and Sheron Stadelmann suffered the second skunk of the year for the league. The Friday night supper of chicken wings and fries had only a small crowd. This week is roast building its own mini-golf course and any handyman that would like to help should contact John Harrison. Anyone with odds and ends of carpet, plywood chunks or other wood pieces they wish to get rid of could donate them to the project. Children who advanced to Zone public speaking from the Branch, competed this past week at Seaforth Legion. Our Brussels children did an excellent job at Seaforth and placed very well. In the story-telling section, Brody TenPas placed second out of 13 speakers. Tory Kellington placed third in the junior division and Brianne Wheeler placed out of third position. Congratulations to these young people for representing the Brussels Legion and the town of Brussels so very well. Silent auction sheets and donations are soon due. They can be dropped in anytime.

The Branch is interested in People attend baptism in Waterloo Matthew James Breen, infant son of Kendra and Ben Breen, Waterloo was baptized on Sunday, Feb. 27 at Knox Presbyterian Church, Waterloo. Rev. Linda Ashfield officiated. Aunt and uncle, Tracy Mann and David Dolson, Waterloo are godparents. Little Miss Amanda Dolson presented the baptismal candle. The silver baptismal font used for the baptism had been the property of the former Knox United Church, Moncrieff in Grey Twp. It had served as the baptismal font for two generations of the Mann family prior to the closing of the church. At the auction of the church property in 1976, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Mann purchased the silver font as a keepsake. The late Mr. and Mrs. Mann, who farmed in the Moncrieff area for years, would be Matthew’s great- grandparents. He also is the grandson of Mrs. Mary Beth Mann, Waterloo and the late William (Bill) Mann, formerly of RR1, Monk­ ton. Listowel resident, Mrs. Marion Robert; Mrs. Margaret Campbell, RR5, Seaforth; Mr. and Mrs. Murray Pfeifer of Baden; Mr. and Mrs. David Dolson, Amanda and William and Mrs. Mary Beth Mann, Waterloo were among those attending the service and dinner gathering at the Breen home.
