Brussels, long known as in the
snow belt, escaped the snowfall
that blanketed Windsor in 'a
reported 2 to 6 inches. Hopefully
we can take it a's an indication
that perhaps we may be favoured
with a mi:d winter such as we
enjoyed last year. However, some
weather profits are predicting a
severe winter. Squirrels . have
been busy hording winter food
and our native people have been
saying -it will be so. Let us hope
they are wrong.

The bride, at most weddings, is
the one who attracts the
expressiohs of admiration from
the wedding guests for her own
beauty and that of her wedding
attire. At one recent wedding the
groom stole his share of
admiration from his lovely bride
when he took his place, to await
her ,corning, in full Scottish dress
in the tartan of his family clan and
evoked many an exclamation on
his dashing appearance.

18 per cent was awarded by the
Huron County Board of Education
to the 18 bus contractors trans-
porting students for the 1974-75
school term at a meeting of the
'board in Clinton, Friday.
"It's a fair settlerrient," stated

trator. "The Huron Board is right
in the middle, not the highest, not
the lowest of other area boards.'
The board approved the assign-.
ment of the bus transportation
contract held by George Radford,
Blyth to Ralph Buffinga, Blyth,
because of Mr. Radford's other
business pressures.
An offer by McKillop Township
Council was approved to supply
snow plowing services at the
t urning area at Winthrop, at the
rate of- $12 per hour or a
minimum charge of $6'.

from Leslie Habkirk, Seaforth,
asking for approval of the merger
