Letters on a wide variety of subjects of interest to our readers, d`scussions, etc„ will be welcomed and we urge all - to contribute to this column, 'Letters must be signed with your own name as well es a pen mune but only the pen name will be ,published if so requested.

Citizens of Brussels: - Jan, lltb, 1930 It has, been requested_ by the Village Council that we ask the people of Brussels to express, through this column, their opinion about the following matter in the next issue of this paper, There has been considerable dia- cussion about the advisability of continuing the ringing of the town bell. Would you like to have the custom continued as in the past? Would you like to have it rang . at 8 o'clock in the morning instead of at 1 o'clock as is now done? Would you like to have the ringing of .the bell discontinued entirely? The Council would appreciate your prompt response via this papeo concerning this mater. THE EDITOR Brussels, Jan, 10th, 1939 Editor of The Post Dear Sir:- Idaviag learned of your intention to inaugurate a "letter box" column I have taken my pen in hand, that the women of the community might have their share in it and not leave it entirely to the men to make use of. Fore some time I ha Pe had a pet scheme lurking in the back 01 my mind and here is where I am about to bring it out to the light and see if any of the other women et the village might favor my idea. We have a number of lad;ee' church organizations, the W. I. a lodge, etc., but it occurs to me that there is room for yet another women's group here, namely a "Young Mother's Club." It is a well known fact that the young mother's bores to death those of her friends who are not mothers or whose children have grown up, with her task of her babies. Even the proud father tires of the fascinating subject; so why not a young mother's club where they could meet, possibly once a mouth, or as often as they desire, where they could discuss various problems of child raising, etc I have even visions of special speak ers and so forth it could grow into a very worthwhile venture as well ae. a very enjoyable one, I know young mothers are Inver- iably busy. It is astonishing how much care and devotion even one small child demands. but I ani sure it could be managed and that it could be very profitable to all who took en interest in it. Won't some of the young mothers of Brussels write to the "Letter- box" for the next issue and express their opinion about this, A YOUNG MOTHER Brussels, Ont, Jan. llth, 1639 lvir, Editor, i Dear sir: - I thought that the beginning of the new year might be a good time to again bring to the attention of the busluese men the need for a Chamber of Commerce in 13reseels. This matter has been often dismis- sed and recently, at the nomiinaiton meeting I believe, it was suggested by one of our local eannciido,a that one be Mimed. To date I have not heard that anything has been dole about it. There drequently arise questions Mr the business people to (Tectd4, such as certain important holidays, half holileys duriny the summer months, and other problems and when there is no anthoritivo body to decide these natters it is very difficult for suitable arrangements to be arrived at, May I time, through Your columns that this. matter receive attention in the near hirci 0, INTIBIESTED CITIZEN Town Council Hold First Meeting' Brusesls, Jan. 100, 1938 The regular meeting of the Muni- cipal Council of the Village of Brussels met in the Public Library on the above date. All members being present, Reeve Kerr addr'essel the amnion as follows:- Before .proceeding with the busi- ness, first I wish to express my pleasure of having three Couneilllrs back on, the board, also one ex - Councillor. This is quite a change to last year when these were three new Councillors also it being my first year as, Reeve. I may say 1 am the only member that was at this- table three years ago for the first meeting. So you will rsalize how things change, i also wish to express my ems -elation of being elected Reeve for a second tem by acclamation, During the past year we resurfaced two pieces of streets with asphalt, also rebuilt a fire - engine which is driven by a gas motor and placed down at the river. We closed the year with a larger balance than when we started, The one big stumbling item is relief and I am -sorry to say it is not any, bet- ter this year. With every little work available, also lower wages and their savings lower or gone the future does not look very bright. I think it is a very good time for people more fortunate to assist these people by giving them any work possible, also clothing especially for children. I may say the Women'e Institute have already supplied a boy with a suit of clothes and underwear. My aim will es to end 1939 with a larger surplus than at present and I am sure this can be accomplished and without raising the mill rate.
