and see what the elves have done
Shiny, stainless steel pots and pans -
all sizes - are sitting all over the store
Saucepans Steamers

Pans
Only the elves could persuade Max to buy up a truckload
of sub-standard pots and pans
But these are heavy-duty, stainless steel
and if the elves hadn't marked the tiny
flaws with red ink, you would never
find them.
Oldfield's must sell these
pans to make room for
the Christmas rush
So Max said, with an elfish grin,
"An ad in The Citizen will bring 'em in. wok If we set the prices really low
The pots and pans should surely go."

Ratepayers want Brussels industry

the work of Reeve Krauter and
others and urged people to work
together. "We have a nice com-
munity here and everybody has to
work together to keep it that way."
Delores Wheeler asked Council-
lor Ten Pas if the villagehad set
money aside to attract new indus-
try to the village. There was a new
industry interested in settling in
the village she said and they hadn't
council. "Can't we pay their rent
for the first few months?" she
wondered.
Councillor Ten Pas said the
council had not been asked for any
help.
"You shouldn't have to be
asked," Mrs. Wheeler said.

volume dealing with mainly rural
folk "The Resident" would have
been a more appropriate name.
2) And the item which really
fired my compulsion to write, was
the article entitled, "Unnecessary
Dangers on our Road s "11 in the
Nov. 20edition. Especially, as I
personally had occasion to be
travelling a considerable distance
last Friday, Nov. 22 on some of our
paved roads of this farming area
and community, and while they
were in normal to be expected
hazardous state, for this climate
and time of year. _
Being apasse nger ofjustsuch an
ill-educated, ill-mannered driver
as must've been the writer of said
article. Why otherwise would they
be so willing to bite the hand that
feeds them? In the article, all the
dangerous uses of roads were
aimed at the farmers.
May I now turn the coin over? Let
us consider, even just good road
Councillor Jerry Wheeler said
he had been working with someone
trying to help him locate a building
in Brussels but it had not reached
the point of dealing with council.
Mrs. Wheeler said the council
should look ahead and set some
money aside. If council can afford
swimming pools it should be able to
plan ahead to help get some
industry into town, she said.
Herb Stretton said that at one
time it was illegal for communities
to help industry with grants but
other communities seemed to be
doing it.
"You can't give a fixed assess-
ment to help them pay their
taxes," Reeve Krauter said.
Mr. Stretton questioned what
kind of information council was
conditions, and non-farmers en-
dangering our roads. For instance:
1) Improperly retained loads of
steel, rocks, building supplies, etc.
(city and town owned vehicles).
2) Swaying improperly hitched-
and-maintained house trailers,
boat trailers, etc. of recreational
value only.
3) Most important of all, the city
and town dwe Hers, who take to our
rural roads with the seemingly
self-centred notion, the road they
are privileged in having the use of,
is expressly theirs and for them
only, to be on in whatever state of
mental and physical condition and
capabilities they want.
Naturally I realize whether to
print this is your decision. Hence I
end with my si nce re thanks for your
otherwise to me personally ap-
preciated free editions. Regret-
fully due to my financial state I will
be unable to subscribe to it.

providing to prospective indus-
tries. Reeve Krauter said that
information about the workforce in
the village had been provided.
Mr. Stretton said that a whole
presentation was needed if the
village was going to attract indus-
try. The council should be putting
together such a presentation, he
said.
Gordon Workman brought
things back to a less fractious level
when he reported on the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community
Centre. He was proud to see the
blacktop parking lot around the
building, he said. It was improving
things for the caretakers because it
was cutting down the way dirt was
tracking in, he said.
He said the installation of sewers
would greatly improve the Centre
but the most recent estimate was
for $60,000 to put in a gravity pull
system which would have to cross
other property to link up with
another sewer line. This cost did
not include easements over the
property. The other possibility was
a sewage pump to pump sewage up
the hill to link up with sewers closer
at hand but if that option was taken
it would leave the Centre vulner-
able to a breakdown of the pump
unless an expensive back-up
pumping system was installed.
Henry Exel reported a highlight
of the work of the Public Utilities
Commission saying that installa-
tion of sewers had "raised kane"
with the water mains and finally an
entirely new water main had been
installed on Queen St. E. when the
new county road was being
installed. Water is checked each
week, he said, and samples sent
away for testing.
On the electrical side of the
commission there had been an
upgrading of transformers to keep
up with the growing demand for
power. The PUC hoped to bring in a
firm to do an infared check on all
connections to help headoff future
breakdowns. Trees were a pro-
blem, he said, with a lot of trees in
the village over 100 years old. Over
$3000 had been spent on tree
trimming and removal, he said.
Summing up, Reeve Krauter
said he had come onto council in
1957 and had spent over half his
adult life serving the village and
"I'm glad I did". He said he had
had the honour of serving as county
warden in 1968. He kidded that
"Bill Elston (retiring Morris reeve)
and I are going to play checkers."
Herb Stretton thanked the coun-
cil for calling the meting but said it
should have been earlier, before
nominations. He also said he would
like to see council hold a ratepayers
meeting every fall.
THANK YOU
We would like to express our thanks to the Council,
Employees and all others who helped in any way to
make the Appreciation Night in Brussels on
November 22 such a memorable evening. It has been
a pleasure to serve the Township of Morris over the
years.
