At the Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It is with sadness that the family,
community and Legion family have
lost Comrade Alf Sutton who passed
away this week. Comrade Sutton
would have received his 60-year
membership pin at the Honours and
Awards night but was in Victoria
Hospital. His pin was given to his
family to present to him on Sunday.
Comrade Sutton had attended the
veterans banquet Oct. 30 and had
enjoyed his day immensely. He
loved to play music whenever asked
to at the Legion and elsewhere and
when given the chance would talk
about his time during the war,
especially when the schoolchildren
came to visit.
The Comrades of Branch 218
gathered at Schimanski Family
Funeral Home on Thursday evening
to honour and pay their last respects
to Comrade Sutton during the
Legion service held at 9 p.m. There
were 24 Comrades in attendance.
Results from last week’s darts are:
first-place, was Tracey Tait and John
Harrison; second. Deb Cann, Harry
Smith and Kaye Smith. The high
starts were Norm Dobson with a 64
and Deb Cann with 80. The high
takeout was Gord Jacklin with an 86.
There were 14 players taking pail
and having fun.
The Friday night supper of lasagna
was enjoyed by a good crowd. This
week is roast pork.
There were nearly 50 Knights
gathered at the Brussels Legion to
celebrate Christmas. They enjoyed a
turkey dinner, gifts for the little ones
and of course a visit by Santa.

Welcome to the idea of snow. It’s a
tough time getting accustomed to the
chill and dampness of this part of the
year. As we searched and found the
proper boots and mitts, lots of
comments were being tossed about
as Mother Nature showed us the
snow of November. Just keep
reminding yourself of the beauty of
the seasons.
One of the nice things about being
a long-time memberof a community
is recognizing the contributions that
others in our midst make. As we
ponder the lifestyle of others, we see
how some do such a fine job of
making the world a nicer place. And,
one of the bad things about that same
long-term relationship is saying
good-bye to the heroes of your day.
Helen Elliott and Alf Sutton were
bid a fond adieu last week by their
many friends. As stories were
shared, their love for life was a
common theme. Their sharing,
caring personalities, ready smile and
joy for humankind made them easy
to call friend. The several
organizations that they each held in
high esteem, will miss the full
commitment that they offered so
readily.
The village is poorer now but we
wait for the next folks to fill these
volunteer shoes. Goodbye Helen and
Alf. You were fine examples for us.
Once again we’re into the
coughing, spitting, sneezing season.
The most effective way to protect
yourself from all’ the nasty wee
critters ready to challenge your
immune system is by washing your
hands. Oh so simple and oh so
effective when done properly and at
the right times.
So every time before you put
anything into your mouth, wash your
hands. After using your hand as a
shield from a cough or sneeze, wash
your hands.
By the way, stick your face into
your elbow the next time you’re
exploding germs, you’ll make the
world a safer place. A tissue works
very well too, but so often it doesn’t
get out of your pocket in time, so try
the elbow.
As for washing your hands take a

moment to review that it is the
friction, lathering soap, water and
time that make hand washing such
an effective preventative measure.
So do it properly - rinse, lather, rub
all the hand surfaces continuously
for 20 to 30 seconds that’s a full
rendition of O Canada.
I’ll bet that’s not your normal time
for hand washing.
So do your part and protect
yourself and others by getting back
to basics and wash often and wash
well.
There was a good attendance at the
public meeting last week to talk
about the library service in Brussels.
The importance of our Carnegie
Library to the community came
through loud and clear.
Lots of ideas and concerns were
shared with Huron County Library
staff as the future is faced. The
community was invited to be part of
a long decision making process.
Thank you mayor Joe and Huron
East council and staff for hearing us.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
