The' village of Brussels has
!made a verbal agreement to buy
'the old CNR station and lease the
land it stands on. Use, of the
building was discussed at the July
2 meeting of Brussels village
council.
The agreement was made on
the condition that° it would be
used for some social group. A
committee from council will be
approaching area senior citizens
to see if they would like to use the
building.
The road leading to the station,
presently owned by the CN will
likely also be obtained by the
village as they have been
'maintaining it for some time.
Council will be purchasing six
new street lights. They will be

The week of July 25th-31st is
Farm Safety Weck in Canada.
There are over 90 Canadians
killed and 800 injured in farm
accidents each year. The farmer
these ' days is working with
complicated machinery and
potent chemicals. He has to be a
mechanic, trouble shooter, car-
penter and handyman in addition
to his regular farm duties. The
handling of modern farm
machines and deadly chemicals
require careful operation and
handling if accidents ale to be
avoided. Emphasis should be put
on prevention. Safety
precautions should be taken in all
areas of farming activities. Be
alert to all possible dangers! Cut
down fatal farm accidents and
injuries. *****

Underground cable in the

Councillor Ivan Campbell
objected to the $1500 expenditure,.

that the money could be used
