Respond to
appeal
Pet owners in this community
responded to the opportunity of
bringing their pets to the Free
Rabies. Clinic held in the Brus-
sels Library basement Thursday
morning of last week.
G. E. Wales of Seaforth, in
charge of the Clinic, which was
conducted by The Health of An-
imals Branch of the Canada De-
partment of Agriculture in co-
operation with The Huron County
Health Unit, was well pleased
with the number of animals
brought for immunization.
"It was a very good clinic",
he said and added that about 150
dogs and cats had received anti-
rabies shots.

We have had it, a first sloppy
reminder of what is to come.
Snow! No, it is not piled up
in drifts as yet, but we did
have snow Thanksgiving Monday
morning. True, it disappeared
as soon as it fell, but it was
wet flakes of that white stuff
that will, no doubt, too soon,
make 'it miserable for all us
cold blooded folk. Let us hope
that it fortells bright, Warm,
weather for many weeks to come.

Rain that came down stead-
ily, from early morning until late
afternoon forced the cancellation
of many of the activities of Brus-
sels Fair on Friday. Included
in events that had to be abandoned
because of the weather were the
parade, races, children's sports,
judging of livestock other than
cattle which was, held in the
sided building on the fair grounds.
An estimated 7511hardy fair-
goers braved the wet and the mud.
The midway barkers sought to
spiel the bedraggled stragglers
to try their luck, with little suc-
cess. The most popular spot
seemed to be the Ladies' Div-
ision booth in the palace where
folks tried to shed the damp chill
with coffee and a bite to eat.
Exhibits in the palace, part-
icularly in the Ladles Division
showed an increase over last
year. There were more entries
in the Domestic Manufacture sec-
tion and the display of flowers
was outstanding in both abun-
dance and quality. Hobby craft
exhibits displayed some lovely
pieces of work.
Much of the work of plan-
ning and preparing extending over
many weeks was washed away
in a couple of hours. Fair
officials anticipate that a 'Iliad
Weatheir" grant will be obtained
to assist in compensating for
the revenue •loss.resulting from
a small• attendance.
The Palace opened its door
to the public Thursday night to
give people an opportunity to
view the indoor exhibits prior
to the main day of the fair. En-
tertainment was also provided
at that time by Earl and Mar-
tha Heywood of Wingham. Mr.
Heywood was introduced by fair
president Murray Hoover. Oth-
ers who contributed to the pro-
gram were the Silver Strings of
McKillop Township, musical
numbers; Carol Wheeler, Brus-
sels, danced and the Belgrave
Girls Trio.
The fair concluded with two
dances. A dance at the Royal
Canadian Legion Hall, Friday
night with music by the Ian
'Wilbee orchestra attracted a
large crowd. Dance with Mike
Marvel and the Mercurys held
in the arena Saturday night drew
an equally large number of young
people.
Douglas Hemingway was the
lucky winner of the T.V. set
and Bob Livermore of R.R.4,
Clinton the toaster in the draw
sponsored by the Brussels Ag-
ricultural Society.
CATTLE
Jim Bowamn Of R.R.5,
Brussels was the winner of the
Grade Cattle 'classes. Andrew
Gaunt, LucknoW; Rubin Brod-
hagen, Brunner; Frank Falconer,

topped the pure-bred cattle
classes.

Champion Shorthorn Bull and

Candidates for the riding of

their parties' agricultural pol-
icies on Thursday night but few
farmers turned out to listen.
Fewer than 100 farmers turn-

The late bean harvest seemed
to get most of the blame for the
poor turnout.
