Short Shots by Evelyn Kennedy

Breaking into a home, physlcal'attack,
robbery and ranfacking a house are things we
know happen elsewhere but it is a nasty shock
when it happens near home. It all happened
to 11 young man of the 8th concession of
Morris last week. He was tied up. his wallet
taken as was that of another nlan who came to
the home and was struck on the head with a
gun. Such thin s. it is supposed, are bound to
become more quent and widespread with
so many Ott ork and frantic for money. it
should be a warning to all of us especially
folks hying Ione, to keep doors locked at all
times, da r night, away or at home, and not
open them to anyone unless we are sure they
are someone we know and trust.
There are some strange parents in the
world. It is not only child neglect or abuse. A
Toronto couple are anxious to give two
children, a 7 year-old girl and 8 year-old boy
into the care of the Children's Aid Society.
The couple gave up their jobs because they
felt they ;vere not making enough money and
why work when they can get almost as. much
in unemployment pay. They said they could
not support the children yet they have rented
a colour television along with cable and
converter (550 a month), plenty of beer on
hand and cigarettes, a car, C.B. radio,
telephone. tropical fish, 100 eight track tapes
and a portable bar. The least one can say is
. that they are unusual parents who still say
they love these children but cannot provide
for them.
After arriving home on January 7 1
expected to settle down to quiet unexciting
days to recover from my holiday vacation in
Ottawa. That did not prove to be the case, as
least not the following week. On Wednesday,
January 12 my former co-worker at the
Brussels Post, Ron Wassink, called to tell me
he had orders to pick 'me up at six o'clock
Thursday evening and take me to Seaforth.
Asked what wasp that rascal said "l haven't
a clue." Of course he was fibbing for he
certainly knew what was up hilt had been
warned to day nothing and that was just what
he did. The conclusion' cached was that Mr.
McLean wanted to see us both for some
reason or other.
At 4:30 on Thursday afternoon my two
u
granddaughters and little great granddaugh-
ter arrived most unexpectedly from Ottawa.
On being asked "How come?" the reply was
"We were told to .be here today and Dad
sends his regrets that because of an
important business commitment he was not
able to come with us." Naturally that aroused
more curjousity but could not learn anything
from them. We were all ready at the dot of six
to take off for Seaforth. Quarter past six, half
past, and twenty minutes to seven and no Ron
with me fretting and fuming that someone
waiting in Seaforth would be provoked.
because we were late. Five minutes later he
arrived and told us we would have to wait in
the car for a few minutes while he took a
picture in Brussels. On stopping at the Legion
he persuaded me, after several tries, to
accompany him in. Seeing others arriving at
the same time set my nerves quiveringfor it
made me suspect tat something I was
unprepared to face was in-store for me. Susan
White, editor of the Huron Expositor.
Presented me with a corsage and escorted m-
int()
Into the Legion Hall where a number of
people were assembled. The scene that met
my eyes amazed me. The impulse at that
moment, was to turn and run, but that was, of
course, impossible. A.Y.cLean, former
publisher of the Brussels P t welcomed me
as did Mrs. J.A. Shrier, p blisher of the
Huron Expositor, and Bob Shrier of the
Signal -Star Publishing, Goderich. There was
no escape. I had to face the mesic and
pleasant music it was. After a brief interview
in the glaring eye of a T.V. camera there was
time for relaxing with some of those present
before dinner was served by the Ladies
'Legion Auxiliary to the 50, or more, guests in
attendance. Among them were representa-
tives of the councils of the village ofBrussels
and the adjoining townships, M.P.P. Murraya
