The reputation of any respectable citizen is as valuable to that persoh as to any prominent person. They would have as mush to lose if publicity followed the charge. Such an unfair attitude makes one lose respect for the law. aam9•am•• Our newly surfaced Turnberry Street (main street) was officially opened Thursday of last week. The dignitaries taking part in the ceremony were piped from the ball park to the main intersection of the village by the Brussels Legion Pipe Band in a procession of open cars. Speakers were heard and the cutting of the ribbon that marked the occasion was witnessed by a gathering of interested people and curious children. After a lengthy period of a broken up street, boulders and stones to negotiate when attempting to cross on foot; bone -shaking holes to bump a car through; detours and rough going, there is now an appreciated smooth, wide street to travel on. Residents of the village are hopeful that speed freaks will not now use it as a raceway. After_the Summer Olympics were held withotil &Y of the violence that was feared it was sad, and shocking to read that Zola Budd had to be escorted from the London, England, airport by a police guard because of death threats received, She was involved in the con';oversial incident which left Mary Decker of Eugene, 1 SHORT SHOTS • by Evelyn Kennedy Oregon, sprawled on the infield in the 3,000 metre race in which Decker`•ex ected to win the gold. The senior airport official said "we believe the death threats canle from Ameri- ca." Budd told reporters "As far as 1 am concerned it is all over. All i want to say about the whole thing is that I know 1 did nothing wrong." •t44.•N• The Horticultural Flower Show and Supper last week was a highly successful affair. The display of flowers was beautiful and the supper bountiful and delicious. it was good that take-out meals were available and that so many people who could not attend took the opportunity to have them delivered to their home. President Ronald Reagan of the U.S. (ever the actor) made a dangerous bad joke that was unintentionally broadcast. It was intend- ed as an off-the-record commenn when making a voice level test while preparing for his weekly radio broadcast. He said "My fellow Americans 1 am pleased to announce 1 just signed legislation that will optlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." With the tension and fear that exists in the world think what might have been the consequence. What if that "joke" had been instantly heard by the Soviets and some fright impelled finger had hit the panic button. Pray that Reagan will hereafter guard with caution his every word. Harvest timet The time when the land yields the nrnduce of man's labour, crops street from the fields, vegetables and fruits from gardens and trees. It is a time for canning and preserving of good things for future use. An article in Canadian Living'magazine on r home drying of fruits and vegetables recalled. the memory of how some of that was done in days long gone. It was certainly not by tcgdays modern methods. How many can eemember seeing, in the kitchen of their mother, or grandmother, a mesh wire rack hanging from the ceiling over the kitchen stove with slices of -apple drying on it? That method would be frowned on today for many reasons but those dried' apples made tasty winter eating in pies and applesauce. ***a**555 Cranbrook MRS.

Taken out of a nightmare vocabulary too many of us are too familiar with. So Terry ran—he struggled, pushed himself to the limit—because he wanted the hurting to stop. Period. Since his death, over half a million people have taken up his cause. Most have run, many have walked—and some have participated under the same restrictions Terry himself was faced with. What they all had in common with Thrry was courage. Courage to confront the nightmare. Courage to get out and do something about it. This year marks the fourth year that we can raise money for cancer research in Terry's memory. The fourth year we can actually do something to help wipe out this disease. Won't you participate? Run, walk, ride, man a desk, organize a run, sponsor a participant, cheer tete cause. Do a little, do a lot—hut do something. The hurting has to stop. Together we can give cancer research the strength it needs so badly. Together we can give cancer research all the strength Terry willed it to have. On September 23rd, come out and join us. Participate, and help make Terry's dream a reality in our lifetime. The Terry Fox Run SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. Run will start from the Van Egmond House at 9 a.m. and end there at 12 noon. Pledge sheets are available at the Town Hall and at the Recreation Office.
