The Brussels Post, 1975-03-12, Page 5Letter to Editor Describes service Brussels, March 10,1975 Sir: Thanks for the help that was given me in the last 25 years: from the parents, Fire Chiefs, Brownie Leaders and Guide Leaders also the Guides that won their Gold Cord.. &that helped in any way. Any outside person that gave any help. Mrs. Deitner was asked why she was not at the meeting. It was to be held on Tuesday night not the Monday for Local Association unable to attend. It was mentioned that the methods were outdated, but who was to pay me for the days work while I attended the training? The new methods are done but are they successful ? The schools are going back to the old ways. Some of the leaders and Commissionershave never run a Company or Pack, so they don't know how the children feel about Guides and Brownies. I have letters from former Gold Cord Guides and Canada Cord just the same as Diane Bennett and Pat Mathers have written thanking me for help. Also Diane was asked to help with Guides this summer, she had to refuse to help. She works all day and her child goes to a baby sitter. So what time h as Diane for her family? Why did some Mothers sign this letter when they have never helped me and also no children that I had not taught? What was in the letter that made you all sign it? Did you read the letter? Why did two ladies resign? My home life is mine, but Mondays and Tuesdays were for Brownies and Guides. Commissioner,it was your responsibility to close the Company but did you come to me and see what I had to say or prove? This was a, Court of Honour but it was told around town the very next d 'ay. This is why Mothers don't attend meetings, They are talked about just after they leave the meeting, also if they don't attend. In 1972 we still belonged to the Huronia Area in Goderich. Some girls live on the farm, they had chores to do and homework. So they haven't got time for Guide work. Other Guides found school was too much and other Guides took music lessons and figure skating lessons. One Guide didn't want to attend, her friends then don't want to go. I have names of other ladies in the community who were asked in the summer time to help. They started to work or they have home life to look after. I didn't want to start in the fall but no one else offered to help. So when the girls came to me, I said I would until these girls found me a leader also I didn't take the fees until the end of October. These girls in later years are asked to babysit so I thought having the Fire Chief in to teach about fires. Also I had an R.N,A. in to teach First Aid and Emergency Helper. Some of my former Guides have come across emergency and they Were glad to have the knowledge that was given. The weekly dues are used only for Guide and Brownie supplies and outings. They are not spent-on travelling and for personal expenses, nor books because the school and public libraries are very handy. Also it does not pay for trainings. During my leadership in Brussels of Gold Cords and 4 Canada Cords were achieved. One Guide won a trip to the Western Provinces. My knowledge is still going across to the Guides if they want to take it in and work on their own with help at home. Gert Kellington I feel the same way as Gert about the method and her leadership as I worked three years with her in the Brownies. Shirley Wheeler East Wawanosh The council of the Township of East Wawanosh met on March 4, 1975 at the Beigra.ve Community Centre Room with Reeve' Hallahan presiding and all the members present. Motions included: - That building permits be approved and issued to James Hunter, Frank Eckenswiller, Ralph Campbell and Robert Peck. — That a grant of $50.00 be given to the Huron Plowmen's Association. — That council approve a Where is Canada heading. Daily we read in the papers that some big corporations make huge profits and still want to raise their prices.We read that labour unions are asking for unreasonable high wages. It appears to this observer that we may be heading in the same direction as Great Britain by pricing ourselves out of international markets. That unfortunate country has been balancing on the brink of bankruptcy for decades, primarily because labour struck for any reason at all. The same seems to be happening here. Multiple labour unions in one industry make it impossible for that industry, to have any prolonged labour peace. Even if a contract is still valid they sometimes break it anyway because some other industry negotiated a better deal. It used to be that an efficient work-force could demand more because of their efficiency. Now they demand more because their union is more efficient. Countries like West Germany, where the workers show 'more responsibility, have the lowest rate of inflation in the world, and those workers are better off for it. What really bugs me is that strikers can legally force other workers off the jobs as well. They are apparently legally justified not to cross a picket line manned by strikers, even if they are ,not intended to take on the stricken jobs. It is a mess and it's time that we who suffer the consequences in loss of business and in unnecessary higher prices start right-of-way to Lot SV229, Con. 4. — That a levy of $2,013.25 be paid to Maitland Valley. Conservation Authority. That council endorse a resolution received from the Township of Hullett asking that the Township of East Wawanosh and neighbouring municipalities request that Ministry of Natural Resources consider re-instating a Wolf Bounty to try and bring this problem in line before it causes a serious problem. protesting more vigorously. Why should you and I suffer because some union boss has riled up his workers to a strike fever so he can justify his astronomical salary? Thirty ships are lying idle in Vancouver Harbour, ready to be loaded with grain for needy people, just because a few hotheads refuse to weigh and grade the grain. It's outrageous that thousands of people face more threat of starvation because a few hundred overfed people want more money. When they go back to work it will be the longshoremen and after them the railway engineers and then the railway clerks. Government will do nothing until we demand action. — That C,W.Hanna attend the Meeting in Centralia re Roadside and Rights-of-Way Weed. control, and also the "G.S.Anderson" School in Guelph. — That we pay our share of the streetlight replacement in.

Radford Construction, Blyth. — That Council of the Township of East 'Wawanosh accept tender submitted by Joe Kerr Ltd., Wingham, Ont., at $1.43 for 15,000 cu. yds. of 5/8" crushed gravel for supply , crush and apply to Township Roads. 2,500 cu. yards at .90 for supply crush and stockpile in pit, 5/8" crushed gravel, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. — That we pay our 50% share in the amount of $439.98, re renovation of furnace room and dressing rooms at the Belgrave Community Centre. — That Road Accounts of $5,218.32 and General Account of $4,912.44 as presesnted be passed and paid.
