contact Norm Dobson or Jo-Ann
McDonald.
The Brussels Girl Guides held
their potluck dinner and awards night
on Thursday evening.
The Brussels Pipe Band practised
outside the Branch on Thursday
evening to the listening pleasure of
those nearby.

scalloped potatoes was enjoyed by a
good crowd. This Friday we are

The scholars are in relaxation
mode for a couple of months and
well deserved too. Time for summer
jobs, camp, visits with grandparents,
swimming and just having some
time to hang out. Hurrah!
The Sauve and Schade kids were a
busy crew on the weekend as they
celebrated Mom and Uncle Ralph’s
birthdays. Lots of folks dropped into
the United Church on Saturday
afternoon to meet and greet
birthday pair. Then supper
prepared for friends, relatives
neighbours.
The Alberta Stefflers heard
beef was being cooked for
celebration and decided it was time
to return to Brussels just to be sure
that it was done the proper way. Neil
was kept pretty busy keeping all the
cooks and helpers in line. It worked,
because the meal was delicious. It
was a nice party to honour two
really nice folks - Ruth Sauve-

that
this
Lodge and the Brussels Legion
support this remembrance of those
from their membership who have
passed away in the past year, as well
as others who have laid to rest in the
Brussels cemetery.
The sermon was presented by the
new padre of Branch 218, Rev. Tom
Wilson.
The cemetery looked its very best
as usual, thanks to Doug Murray and
Schade and Ralph Schade.
Jim Smith and several of his
family attended the 50th wedding
anniversary of Gordon and Bernice
Lyddiatt in Minden on Saturday.
Gordon is Jim’s nephew.
The pool is one busy spot this
month. Lessons, exercises and just
plain swimming make it a very
popular place to be. Join the fun in
the days and weeks ahead.
Holiday time is very near for
many families, getting ready to
celebrate the end of school and the
Canada Day weekend. For some,
holidays are ready to begin.
Equipment is being checked,
supplies are being gathered, lists are
being made, all part of the fun of
getting ready to go.
The destination is only part of the
fun - the planning, the dreaming and
the packing are also a big part of any
holiday.
Dig out your patriotic red and
white outfit. Get out your Canadian
flags and any other party things you
need to celebrate.
This year I have tattoos of
Canadian flags and maple leafs to
share. Spiffy eh! So wherever you
are, get ready to celebrate the joy
and privilege of living in the best
country in the world.
O Canada - our home and native
land ... Ours to enjoy, so do it.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
the many families who placed
flowers in memory of their loved
ones.
The Brussels Pipe Band led the
parade and performed Amazing
Grace.

Used clothing store opens
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen editor
A new building and a change of
name has revived a business in
Brussels.
Barbara Jo and Michael Hummel
of Harriston had originally started
their ‘gently used' clothing store.
From Our Closet to Your Closet, in
the former Citizen office, across
from the hotel. However, it was soon
evident that more square footage
was required to display the items, so
they acquired the former butcher
store, next door to the new Citizen
office and renamed it Stuff Mart.
“The name was simple and sticks
with people,” said Michael.
The ‘stuff’ available he describes
as brand name articles for the entire
family, from infant to adult. “It’s all
that expensive stuff that parents are
forced to buy their kids at a much
r
cheaper price.”
Having grown up in a family of
10, Hummel said he well
understands the need for nice,
affordable clothing.
Working full-time in Toronto gives
him an opportunity to find the brand
name items at lower prices. Most of
the items at Stuff Mart, which
includes names like Guess, Old
Navy and Osh Kosh, retail for $ 10 or
below.
Barbara Jo is going to be running
the store which for now will be open
Thursday, Friday and Saturday from
10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
