The Citizen, 1998-12-16, Page 15Qurvive THE HOLIDAYS Don't invite disaster to your holiday celebrations. Check your smoke et"t5/tv alarms and .‘1.,SAFt review your fire escape plan. There are always those on the Christmas list who, if they don't already have it it's because they don't need it. But while visiting in Brussels last week, I was suddenly reminded of the Brussels History Book Our Story — From Ainleyville to Brussels 1872-1997. Published as a souvenir of the 125th anniversary celebration, the book is a comprehensive look at the village from its pioneer days to modern time. It highlights the accomplishments from the building of the Medical Centre and Community Centre, to its prominent leaders. In detail the book covers the town's birth, its growth and rebirth after the 1905 fire which almost virtually destroyed the downtown core. It covers sports, celebrations, politics and commerce. For anyone with ties to Brussels whether present or past, it is a gift to last. The books are available at the Brussels Municipal Office. They retail for $30. And last minute shoppers beware, the office will close at 3 p.m., Christmas Eve. Walk into The Blyth General Store you will find a variety store with all the usual variety store items from candy, chips, movies, magazines, pop and tobacco products - nothing very exciting. But keep going to "The Back Room" you will discover a treasure chest full of gift items. There are greeting cards for $1, gift bags, a huge assortment of balloons and party favours. There are toys from remote control cars for the boys and dolls and play-time kitchen utensils for the girls. There are great gifts for birthday parties, too! In the back corner your nose will tell you you have found a huge selection of candles. There are scented, tapers, votives, tealights, plus very attractive holders and ornaments. Throughout "The Back Room" you will find many other gift items, from towels to pictures and much more. There are gifts for weddings, showers, birthdays or just to make yourself feel good. All are reasonably priced. If you haven't been to "The Back Room" at The Blyth General Store, go ahead and take a look. .wp 'Tis The Season Of RRSPs and RRIFs Personal Financial Planning requires an understanding and knowledge of the many financial services and products available in the marketplace today.
