GRAND OPENING
Cubs, Scouts, Beavers
need more boys
For the first time in a number of
years, the Brussels and area Boy
Scouts, Wolf Cubs and Beavers
have a plethora of leaders - but are
in desperate need of more boys to
sign up for all programs.
Registration at Brussels Public
School last Thursday netted only a
total of 14 Beavers, nine Cubs and
three Scouts, despite the fact that
there has been no Scout troop in the
area for at least the past 25 years,
according to the movement’s
Group Committee chairman Agnes
Proulx, who said that an error on
the part of The Citizen in failing to
run their advertisement for the
second week last week could be
partly to blame.
The leaders of all three groups
say they will go ahead with
activities despite the low numbers
of registrations, but that they
would certainly like to see more
boys participating. Registrations
can still be taken at any time by
phoning any one of the leaders,
Winners' trophies

The Brussels and District Horti
cultural Society met on September
12 with guests from Seaforth
present.
Plaques were presented to the

August Flower Show, each one
inscribed with name and date.
An account of severe damage to
Kew Gardens due to a hurricane in
the south eastern part of England
was read. These famous gardens
outside of London have one of the
most important collections of
plants, shrubs and trees in the
world, many of which are irreplace-

The guest, Miss Jane Thompson
from the Maitland Valley Conser
vation Authority, proved tobe a
wonderfully interesting and well-
informed young lady on the subject
of Acid Rain. The four chief culprits
which cause acid rain pollution in
Ontario, other than that which
comes across the American border
are: 1. Most types of transporta
tion; 2. Ontario Hydro; 3. Lake
Head Smelting and 4. Inco. When
smoke from these sources hits rain
droplets it forms acid rain or acid
snow whose run-off in the spring is
very damaging to rivers and
streams. This causes the death of
smallfishand otherwater crea
tures which interrupts the food
chain.
The facade of many buildings is
also damaged by pollution and
forest products are lowered in
value. Members hope the forces at
work to decrease all types of
pollution may have increasing
success as time goes by.
Cub Leader Larry Proulx of RR 1,
