Local News Items
Cutters vs. Autos
At this particular period, the old -
tune cutter is having a quiet dime-,
kle at the expense of the modern
auto.
Au Ideal Day
Sunday was an ideal day and we
wonder where the snow storms of
the k.•nt week went to over the
week-end—hut the • storm came 'back
cm Monday.
Horse Took a Run
The delivery horse of Beekee
Tiros. took a run on Saturday
m
orn-
log but the "No
Parking ng Sign"
F. Huntt,r's corner stopped the
cutter. The 'whiffletree was the
only thing broken.
Pensioners Get Cheques Earlier l
On account ofChristmas, old -age
pensions cheques were mailed from
the treasury department of the pro-'
vinetal goverr;nent last Friday In-
stead of at the end of the month,
it was stated.
Could Not Make Trips
Owing, to the storm and the late'
trains the rural mail carriers did
net go out on Thursday and on
Friday. Dune, McKinnon got out
on his route past Cranbrook when
he called it a day. No other mail
carriers anitde their trip.
School Holidays
Last Friday the school pupils
celebrated , the beginning of
the Christmas holidays. The public
school rooms had Christmas trees
and presents were distributed, and
the teachers received Christmas
boxes from the pupils. lis: Mr. Edgar
r
I
treated his pupils to Library tic-
ket, (42 in all). The boys and girls
will have some excellent reading
now.
Want Pay
,Conditions have changed. during
the past few years regarding munis
cipal offices in Brussels. It is not
long sines there would be applica-
tions galore fighting for the honor
of sitting. at the council board. At
the find meeting of the 1929 coun-
cil the members passed a motion;
to the effect that next year's board
'would draw a "salary" every
Y
Meeting which they' attended The
pay is not very extravagant, but as
nobody wants the job the board de-
cided that if; they had to officiate
they would also collect a:' fee.
Brussels Hens also Won
A news item that appeared in
the daily press, and which was copi-
ed in the Post announcing, "For
the first time since the contest in-
nugurated, firstplace do the fifth
annual Nova Scotia Southern Egg
Laying Contest was won by Ontario
liens, owned by J. Fe.irseryice; of
Blyth, with a winning total of 206.4
points laying ' 1,961 eggs. Thecon-
test is held at the Dominion Exper-
imental' Station at Kentsville, N, S."
was stretching it a little too far.
The hens front the. Walter Rose
Poultry Farm, Brussels, wen first
pito 1921.28 etnd have been up with
the leaders in ftl the various con.
tests. •
Invitations, Issued
The Women's Institute issued in-
vitations last week for a card party
and dance to be held in the Town.
Hall on Friday evening of this
week. Proceeds are in aid of the
Memorial Rink fund.
Books Balanced
Manager Fred Wilmot, of the
Blank of Nova Scotia has been
walking' with a decided limp these
days. Last Thursday while bringing
out some books . from the vault,
they were balanced- (Banking
Terms)— on some of his toes and
golf terms were the only ones used
by the general manager.

Former Officers PIaY
Vital Roles In "Four Sons"
It is safe to say that there will
be no adverse comment on the ac-
tions of German officer charac ers
in Fox Films "Four Sons" w'en
it appears on the screen of ie
Grand theatre c 9.nmencing ne t
Monday. And for good reason.
Every mt.n appearing in these inter
pretations is a former member o
the German Army. Following direc-
tor Joon Ford's stay in Europe,
during which time he spent severat
months in Germany, it was decided
that only ex-sqldiers would be con-
sidered for llhe'se highly important
atmospheric bits. Numbering among
those players His Royal Highness,
Archduke Leopold of Austria, whose
first screen appearance is made in
the new Ford production, and Cap-
tain Carl von Headman, former
member • of the German Air Service.
In the important roles are Mar-
garet Mann, who plays the stellar
role of the grandmother and Earle
Foxe ,noted screen comedian, who
hurls 115 conic mask to the winds
in ibis characterization of Von
cis J. Bushman, Jr., George Mee-
ker, Chohe etttt ttogo oiitnss ssassi
ker, Charles Morton end James Hall
essay the roles of Grandmother Ber-
nle's four sons, around whom most
of the dramatic action revolves. An
extra feature will be Felix the Cat
in "Outside, Indore." •
