Brussels for over twenty five years, I. want to dedicate this letter to our present council. At the annual Telephone meet- ing Mr. Dan 'MacTavish, a com- missioner for many years, tend- ered his. resignation. Mr. Men- Tavish, of mature years, 'no doubt thought ne was entitled to live, a few years without any more service to the public. al public that sometimes is more critical than kind. As a com- missioner he was always faithful to his convictions, and right or wrong, he did his duty as he thought best for the 'Brussels, Morris and Grey Telephone9 System. According to the Brus- sels Post you re-elected him at the last council meeting. We have in our village young men who are capable of filling this • position equally as well. Young men who are raising fam- ines nnd the renumeration would be most beneficial to them. Gentlemen, you have made a mistake. Go to Mr, MecTavish and apologize, then release him from this absurd and ridiculous appointment. Now a question please.

Will there be, a public meeting to do something, or will it be behind closed doors (The, Iron Curtain)? Yotir's truly, A. •Local Taxpayer. CLUICK CANADIAN FACT in 1754 the fleet wheat grown in 'west was seeded in valley of Car-rot River in Saskatchewan, by the Chevalier de la Come, Car "Borrower' Adde Insult To Injury The party who took a 1964 Chevrolet Biscayne from the M.cCutcheon Motors lot during the early hours of Sunday morn- ing, did not have either a long, or enjoyable ride in it. After helping himself to the ear he Promptly ran into a tree in front of the home of W.J.D. Cardiff, only two blocks from• the car lot, smashing the grill, headlights and fender. Perhaps, after surveying the damage, he decided the car would not be of much use to him for he returned it to the spot from -which he had removed it. Unfortunately for McCutcheon Motors his driv • - ing ability had not improved after his encounter with the tree. In backing the car into place he came into contact with. a huge plate glass show' window, shatter- ing it. The O.P.P. of the. Wingbaln, Detachment are investigating this inept "take-away".
