Simple services are provided
at the Centre. Some older people
find foot care difficult. Cutting
their toenails is often an impos-
sible task for them and the con-
dition causes much discomfort.
This will be done for them at the
clinic.
An excellent discussion on
Nutrition was conducted by Miss
Starr Lyncia, Regional Consul-
tant on Nutrition for South West-
ern Ontario. She talked of the
importance of the proper nu-
trients required for good health
and gave budgeting information on
what food to buy, on a limited
budget, for value and nutrition.
These Centres are now being
operated for a half day but
Mills stated that if the people
of the area take advantage of
this free Guidance centre it will
be extended to a full day in the
future.
In speaking to some who had
attended the Centre, they said
they considered it an excellent
Service offered to the people of
the community, also that they
folind the atmosphere friendly
and relaxing and the staff com-
petent and pleasant.
The first step leading to an
official plan for 'Brussels was
taken Monday night when Huron
Pknning Director Gary Davidson
and assistant Nick Hill, attended
a meeting of Brussels council
unveiled a suggested arrange-
ment and explained details to
council.
Reeve Jack McCutcheon said
the study was in its initial stages
and .before any discussions were
taken the public would have an
opportunity to review proposals
and to advance suggestions con-
cerning the plan. He said a
public meeting' probably would
be held in about a month.
Changes in the municipal act
have resulted in a different pro-
cedure for the nomination of can-
didates for municipal office
Clerk Wm. H. King told council.
Council agreed to sponsor a rate
payers meeting on Nov. 8 prier
to the opening of nominations
to permit ratepayers to discuss
Matters of 'concern to -the vill-
age.
Requirements of the fire de-
partment as presented by Chief
Jack McWhirter, resulted in a
long discussion. Council agreed
to the purchaSe of a power

An encouraging number of
adults attended the Adult Health
Guidance Centre held in the Huron
County Health Unit offices in
Brussels Medical-Dental Centre
on Wednesday of last week. This
was the second of a pilot project
which is being carried out in the
County. The first was held in
Exeter.
Dr. Frank Mills of Goderich,
medical officer of Health for
Huron, was in charge of the
Centre with a competent staff of
twelve who provided health
screenings in Foot Care, Blood
Testing, Blood Pressure, Urin-
alysis, Anemia, Sight Test and
Counseling.
Dr. Mills feels there is a
great need for such a service
for all adults, but particularly for
senior citizens. There are as
many over 65 as there are
younger residents in the county,
and they need to be given equal
time and attention. Many older
people, br. Mills said, hesitate
to trouble their busy doctors with
their everyday minor problems.
At these centres they can dis-
cuss them with qualified

have been working hard to make
this 1972 fair a success. A new
feature that has generated con-
siderable interest is the Regional
Show of Huron-Perth Shorthorn
Club to be held" this year.
There will be the usual showing
of horses, cattle, sheep, swine,
Poultry and pets as well as
attractive indoor exhibits of all
kinds including the interesting
work of the public school
students.
The horse, pony and cart
races will, as always, be popular
attractions. The 4-H Calf Club
boys and girls will be proudly
exhibiting their animals and
showmanship in the show ring.
For the young folk there will
be the sports program and, of
course, the Sa.ugeen Amusements
Midway will be on the grounds
with rides, games, candy floss,
cannel corn and candy apples, so
dear to the children.
Those interested in viewing
the new 1973 cars will be able
to get a good look at displays
by McCutcheon Motors and
Bridge Motors of Brussels.
The Fair winds up en Fri-,
day night with two dances, one
at the Brussels Royal Cnad-
ian Legion hall with the • Ian
Wilbee Orchestra proving the
music and a teenagers dance
at the Brussels arena with Mike
Marvel and the Mercurys from

cratic Party candidate for Huron

successfully for the NDP in the

polled 1175 votes out of a total
of 26456 which were cast.
In her acceptance speech,
Mrs. Weary told the nomination

in this country are without jobs,"

country as rich as Canada, there

to do it. when someone is unem..
