Life is seldom as we would have it. Grief
and misfortune too often shadows our lives.
Remember the pleasures of the past. Cherish
the happiness you have today. Look to the
future with confidence and faith that there
are brighter days ahead.

News headlines these days are frightening.
They scream that the economy will get worse
before getting better: that Canadian banks
are in troollo (that was promptly denied) so
do not rusrto withdraw your cash, hide it in
your sock. under your mattress or in a tin can
in the ground. Canadians are disturbed and
uneasy. Who can be trusted? Who can be
depended on? They have lost faith in
governments; big business and unions, They
question the truth of reports they see in print.
Are they factual or only the conclusions
reached by reporters or columnists who did
not dig deep enough or bother to verify what
they state as facts.

This seems to be a recurring theme in this
column. It is because that ever more
frequently we read of accidents. fatal or

inflicting serious injuries, involving motor-
cycles. As the use of these vehicles continues
to increase it becomes even more necessary
for their operators to use extreme caution at
all times for the sake of their own safety and
tnat of those who ride with them. Motorcycles
are no match for cars and trucks and
invariably get the worst of an encounter with
them. Delvers of other vehicles must be alert,
when motorcycles are in their vicinity, to
anticipate danger and give no cause for an
accident. Common courtesy-andadherence to
all rules of the road, by drivers Of all vehicles,
will go far in avoiding accidents.

Everyone knows about the season harVest-
ing Of grab, fruit, vegetables, and so on, but
it is doubtful there are many who are aware of
the harvest season of Bullfrogs. There are
people who love frogs' legs. They consider
them a delicacy. They are so numerous that
the Ministry of Natural Resources are
concerned about Ontario's bullfrog popula-
tion. They have made changes in the
harvesting regulations for this year to keep
bullfrogs as a harvesting resource in this
province. Do not curl your lips in disdain if
you have never tried frogs' legs. It is many
years since they were sampled but the taste is
remembered. If you did not know what you
were eating you would most likely believe it
was chicken.

Did you forgo 106 minutes peaceful
'slumber to view the Lunar Eclipse in the early
morning hours Tuesday of last week? Nary. a
glimpse of it was caught by me. Sleep was
uninterrupted. Occasionally my dog Sheba
gives notice during that hour of the night that
it is imperative that she be let out to answer
the call of nature, but not that night when the
awakening might have been enjoyed. The
sight of the eclipse probably would have been
obscured by clouds, mist. trees or something
anyway.

Representative of the Brussels fire depart-
ment, Harold Bridge. attended a recent

meeting is slated for July 22nd and "its best if

Bridge replied. '• Needless to say. its free
advice."
In other matters, council was asked who is
responsible for repairs and corrections made
to Sewers. Win Edgar said the water shut off
valve at her home was broken off when the
1 •ctinstructiori'company was installing sewers.
A connection at the home of Fred Stephenson
was nor deep enough. Extra work was
completed to correct the faults.

sewers should pay additional costsrouncil-

engineering firm of B.M. Ross and Associ-
ates. "Thc,. said send us the hill. We can't
tax the ow ners."
