[" THE LARGEST CIRCULATION WEEKLY IN BROME-Missisquoi:.1 com ee ee - x \u2018I\u2019s quite a Christmas present\u2019 Not sleepless in By Sharon McCully BROME \u2014 Even Santa Claus cavorting with his reindeer on the rooftop Christmas Eve won't be enough to wake Tony Allen.After the sleepless nights spent wondering if Allen\u2019s part-time job at IBM Bromont might turn into something permanent, he and his wife Karen will be sleeping more soundly now.Allen was one of 75 part-time workers at the Bromont plant to receive word last week he would be hired on a full-time basis.\u201cFor the first time, I really feel secure,\u201d said Allen, the father of four voung children.IBM communications officer Jean Guy Fournier said last week the plant manager would choose from about 1000 temporary employees on a waiting list with pertinent experience to fill the available jobs.\u201cThey'll be notified in the coming weeks and trained and qualified as full- time equipment operators,\u201d Fournier said.Allen said he was optimistic about being selected.\u201cI had a lot of confidence because of the positive things that have happened on the job, but vou never know,\u201d he said.Karen said although she too was confident, the couple spent many fretful nights wondering, \u201cWhat if.\".For the Allen's four children \u2014 Abi- gale, 12, Nathan, 9, Elizabeth, 6, and Genevieve (GG), 3 \u2014 the news means a possible summer visit to Mickey Mouse.\u201cWho knows?Maybe now we'll be able to plan that trip to Disneyland with the kids next year,\u201d said their mother.Allen said for him, being hired as a full-time worker means security for his family.\u201cI was worried because I didn't have a health or dental plan and with children, you never know when you'll need it,\u201d he said.Being able to remain in the Eastern Townships where both Tony and Karen grew up, and raise their children in their 150-year-old farmhouse is a dream come true for the Allens.The young couple had hoped to be able to return to the region after Allen completed his training in electronics in Toronto.but they were concerned about the lack of jobs.Allen found short-term work with Bolton Industries when he returned to Brome, but was laid off when the company\u2019's sub-contract with IBM ended.Still, he said, it was the experience gained while working at Bolton Industries that helped him get a foot in the door at the IBM Bromont plant.\u201cIt\u2019s basically the same type of work I was doing at Bolton Industries,\u201d he said.Allen said the 18 months he spent unemployed were worrisome times.\u201cI was glad when I finally got contract work with IBM,\" he said.\u201cAt least I could be sure of a pay cheque.\u201d And he doesn\u2019t really mind that he'll - Jewelery asd watch sales ) aad servke | \u2014 Qualified appraisal for lasurance purposes \u2014 We specialize la custom desigaed jewellery David N.Dawes Goldsmith CJA 37 Lakeside, Knowlton (514) 233-5128 AN day, December 20, 1995 po pe » > Tony and Karen Allen with their children Nathan, Elizabeth, Abigale and Genevieve.could a trip to Disneyland be far behind?I'm just happy to have a full-time job.\u201d he said, beaming.\u201cIt's quite a Christmas present.\u201d be working the graveyard shift now that he\u2019s been hired full-time.\u201cYou have to start somewhere and Christmas C ollage « Students and visitors to Massey-Vanier High School have been admiring the Christmas display created by the students in the school-to- work transitions program.Over the past two years, some 55 students in the 16-plus Individual Paths for Learning program have had a hand in the spectacular creation.Students began working on the display last year and added a number of pieces Cr UE [Conv BORDERTowN | wishes you 1%\" Peace and 74\" Happiness this (Holiday Season 19 PRINCIPALE, SUTTON 538-1343 Audio / Video / Communications Por your eyes and ears SELECTION & PRICES LIKE THE BIG CENTERS « SERVICE LIKE YOU GET : FROM YOUR CORNER STORE 13 Lakeside, Knowlton 243-0487 (previousty Teknico) LECTROMAX / WELDEN[HEATRE \u2014\u2014u =) andy Smith EXCAVATION INC.General Contractor * Génie Civil Roads « Septic Systems © Foundations 104 N.Main SL S1.Albans, VL 802-527-7888 }__Canadian $ at par DEC.22-28 (JL TRE IAA 6 FATHER OF THE BRIDE 2 Fri: 7 & 9 Sat-Tue.-Thur.2.7 & 9 Sun:2&7Mon:789 pe Rodin Williams JUMANJI Fri: 7 & 9 Sat-Tue.-Thur.: 2.7 & 9 Sun: 2 6 7 Mon: 749 Walt Disney's a Duck Manure Artificial Lakes Sand Gravel Top Soil TOY STORY UC anure » !

more than 60 families in the Brome Lake area over the weekend.And their work isn\u2019t finished yet.Peter McGovern, chairman of the Lion\u2019s Club Christmas baskets program, said calls are still being received from needy families.\u201cThe number of people needing help is getting higher every year,\u201d McGovern said.\u201cWe have new people moving to the area and others who are just in very bad need.\u201d On Friday night, volunteers waded knee-deep through cartons of fresh fruit, vegetabl nd canned goods at Knowlton\u2019s community center filling boxes to make sure each family would have an ample supply of staples and goodies to tide them over the Christmas holidays.Each box was topped with a Christmas turkey and cranberry sauce.Aside from stocking the shelves, the Lions had dozens of stuffed animals, toys and games for families with children.McGovern said banks in the town collected gifts for the children under their trees, then turned them over to the Lion\u2019s for distribution with the food hampers.A major portion of the funding for the Christmas baskets came from a $1300 donation from the Knowlton downtown = A major portion of the funding for the Christmas

generosity shown by local merchants.In addition to donations received, each Lion member was assigned a route to collect for the fund.\u201cThe generosity shown by the whole community is just incredible,\u201d McGovern said.\u201cWe had people knitting mittens and tuques for the kids and one man donated a cord-and-a-half of wood to a family to heat the house.Another farmer gave us 65 packets of hamburger to add to the food boxes.\u201d The boxes were delivered by volunteers with the club Saturday morning.\u201cThe reaction at the homes was a mixture of surprise and pleasure,\u201d McGovern said.\u201cWe came out of some places crying.\u201d The Lions also distributed some 40 Christmas poinsettas to senior citizens living in the area.The Knowlton Lion\u2019s Club has been

know how to cook, sew on buttons, remove splinters and get newborns to stop crying.And if you're a man, you are genetically inclined to Out of the Brome Closet By Sharon McCully fix electrical appliances, build shelves, change a flat and carve the Christmas turkey.All of these gender biases stem from historical references which are no longer valid.Several generations ago, it was a cinch for a woman to calm a colicky baby when there was a mother, a couple of grandmothers and several aunts around to say \u201cFeed him, burp him, rock him, give him a bit of honey on your finger.\u201d But extended families are few and far between and most women \u2014 and men \u2014 are on their own in the 90s to figure things out.The Saturday afternoon turkey shoot is history.So where would a today kind of guy learn to carve a turkey?It's not as though many men get home from work, go out into the woods and return with supper skinned and plucked.I have three sons who use a butcher knife to slap peanut butter on a sandwich so I imagine they'd look for a saw to carve a turkey.Yet some day soon, a woman is likely to pass them a sharp knife at Christmas dinner and watch in horror as they plunge into the side of the turkey, pulling it apart as they do for their Boxing Day sandwiches.There is nothing in the modern man's life experience to prepare him for this rite of passage and hundreds, if not thousands, of turkeys will bear witness to this on Christmas Day.Besides, it\u2019s a silly tradition.How come the men\u2019s role isn\u2019t lifting the 20-pound bird in and out of the oven or mashing the potatoes?I'm all for letting men putter with the toaster, but if they're going to mutilate the butterball I've been nursing for a week, I want them to have at least a cursory knowledge of its anatomy.That way, theyll know when you pull the legs off a warm turkey you get more than just a drumstick.Reading is Fundamental Tell your child stories that you enjoyed as a child.Older children

m'annonça que ma mère souffrait d'un cancer du sein trop avancé pour la chirurgie ou la chimiothérapie.«Le médecin lui donna de la Tamoxifen et de la morphine pour la douleur.La morphine était tellement forte que ma mère s'effondra dans la rue, puis dans la maison.Le médecin me dit que c'était à cause du cancer.Il essaya de nous préparer à la mort de ma mère qu'il estimait devait se produire environ trois mois plus tard.Il me semblait que la morphine et non le cancer était la cause du problème d'équilibre de ma mère.Elle cessa donc la morphine.«Le Dr Patrick Kingsley accepta de voir ma mère.Après une analyse du sang, il lui donna un régime d'exclusion de certains aliments.Plusieurs de ses aliments favoris étaient exclus; entre autres, les produits laitiers et de blé.L'alimentation est vitale dans le traitement du Dr Kingsley.Il croit que beaucoup d'entre nous sommes allergiques à certains aliments que nous consommons régulièrement.Ces aliments peuvent engendrer la maladie et diminuer nos défenses.«Le traitement peut avoir semblé bizarre.Le Dr Kingsley croit qu'on peut guérir le cancer en utilisant des doses massives de vitamine C et d'autres antioxydants.Le traitement est complété par des injections intraveineuses de peroxyde d'hydrogène.«Ma mère s'améliora rapidement.Son alimentation semblait beaucoup aider, mais allait-elle

Sure did taste good!\u201d I said to my husband, \u201cNice she didn\u2019t eat the roses, 14 inches big, three-and-four-inch blossoms.\u201d Next a.m.he said, \u201cI don\u2019t think you have any roses left, they ate all of them!\u201d We have a cedar hedge and now they are eating it.The neighbour across the road has one and all that is left is a little few ends on top.We had an eight- Deer As someone being an animal rights activist, I fail to understand the logic in the proposal to continue to decimate our deer population.Residing in the heart of deer country, I, as citizen and former Game Warden have seen the useless slaughter of these beautiful God-created animals through poaching, etc.We as Canadians are so fortunate to have the privilege of wild deer roaming amongst us.Then why, for some people, are they considered public enemy num- foot fence around our garden two years ago.They found a tiny opening and got in.They ate the peas and bean blossoms off.They do this in gardens right in the town of Mansonville.They have eaten cedars.When driving along the road, you can see under them as if they were trimmed.We looked out a year ago and there were two deer, one on each side of a big cedar tree, standing on their hind legs to reach higher.We had so many tomatoes, and give away so many, there were about a bushel and a half with spots that we were putting out.My husband put them out by our basement door, 10 feet from the door.I was up during the night and noticed there were six deer enjoying them; there was not one tomato left in the morning.Just another deer story Just coming from town one day last spring, on one mile of road length, we counted 21 deer.If I am right, a mile square is 140 acres.How many were in that mile square, when this was the roadside count?My husband goes to cut some wood, most days there are five deer watching him, unafraid.I stood one evening in the summer, washing my dishes.I just noticed a deer standing looking up at me with such a pretty face.That deer watched me all the time I did the dishes as I walked back from the sink to the cupboard, less than 10 feet from the house.We know several people who have had cars damaged by deer coming out.We ourselves just stopped in time.Just was lucky, only a few hairs on the bumper one time.Have seen a number on the roadside which had been hit.a distinct society ber one?They have as much right to live as we do.Our local police failed to mention the percentage of collisions caused by people exceeding the speed limit.With today\u2019s superior breaking systems, most collisions could be avoided.In an area of high deer collisions, our police must be much more vigilent of speed violators.Also a point in fact would be to install many more yellow deer signs in areas where there are deer yards and road crossings.It is also easy to understand that Unemployment.is your income protected?263-2787 TANNER # FINANCIAL -

Saturday was devoted totally to beer related items, starting at 9 a.m.and continuing non stop until 6:30 p.m.with many items selling in the four figures.The runners held up three enamel corner signs and one flat rectangular blue enamel sign to be sold choice.The first choice went to a man by the name of Sid Dawes at $1350 and it was no surprise when he chose the blue rectangular enamel sign marked Dawes & Co.Breweries.Second choice at $1000 was a red Canadian Breweries to an Ontario collector.Third choice at $900 was a blue Molson\u2019s India Pale Ale sign, and finally the yellow and black John H.R.Molson & Co.India Pale Ale sign left for Ontario with a bid of $500.The two English Molson\u2019s Ale clocks were bought by a Maine dealer for $3000 each.Included in this auction were several \u2014 a.: ; - 4 a : = Vig 9 4 #, RRP MAC os a | ; uit IR ,; olique $ BROME COUNTY NEWS\u2014Wednesday, December 20, 1895\u201415 very rare beer trays to include the rectangular black horse which sold to a Toronto collector for $1100, and the oval O'Keefe Brewery Co.of Toronto tray with a jolly old guy dressed in green with a red hat in nice condition that sold for $775 again to a Toronto collector.The Regal Breweries tray with the windmill sold for $420 and the Hamilton Red Star in absolute mint condition fetched $400, also to a Toronto collector.The lot of over 4500 openers and cork screws had an opening bid of $5400 and after some heated competition and deal-making in the crowd the winner was a telephone bidder for $7000.The very rare blue Frontenac cone top beer tin was sold to collector Dave Fowler of Gorley, Ontario, for $320.A huge lot of beer bottle labels and related paper items dating 1938-50 sold for $5200 to a Montreal dealer.Sunday, starting again at 9 a.m.and finally finishing at 6 p.m., auctioneer Gelineau sold toys, sport items, post cards, furniture and much more.A yellow and marron tin toy limousine with driver that had repairs to the chassis sold to a Montreal collector for $1600.The trick pony mechanical bank in near mint condition sold for $625 to a Montreal collector.A Coke truck that had been over- painted several times sold for $500 to a Montreal collector.The great Patrick Roy, former Stanley Cup winning goalie for the Montreal Canadiens, signed his number 33 jersey from the all-star game and one lucky guy bought it for $350.The Chrysler peddle car in very nice condition was bought by collector Guy Lapointe of Johnville for $1000.A big brown teddy bear was sold for $550 but there has been a lot of speculation since as to whether it was as old as we were all led to believe.It seems that his particular bear has had a lot of relatives with great family resemblance showing up at auctions and shows recently.When the lot of Walt Disney post cards came up there was some heated competition between a Montreal dealer and an Ontario dealer with the Ontarian winning with a bid of $410 after which he told me, \u201cI should have let her have them, that is way too much in total comfort.for him & her 148 Principale St.West, Magog - (819) 843-8212 money.\u201d This was one of the finest auctions of its kind to be held in Quebec and I am sure that the success of it will be talked about for years to come.Jean Murray Chute owns Classique Antiques in Lennoxville.HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF QUEBEC PRINCIPLES FAITH THE WORLD OF HUMANITY POSSESSES TWO WINGS \u2014 MAN AND WOMAN.IF ONE WING REMAINS INCAPABLE AND DEFECTIVE, IT WILL RESTRICT THE POWER OF THE OTHER, AND FULL PLIGHT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE.THEREFORE THE COMPLETENESS AND PERFECTION OF HUMAN WORLD IS DEPENDENT UPON THE EQUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THESE TWO FACTORS.BAHA'l FAITH FOR INFORMATION WRITE TO 310 HARVEY ST., GRANBY, QUE.J2H 1W9 OR CALL 372-2956 AFTER 6 P.M Waterloo GOLD CHAINS AND DIAMOND Season's Greetings Picken's Farm Equipment Inc.af\\ 50 H.P.Zetor 4 wheel drive with loader.2 2 year warranty 312 South St, Cowansville Tel.: (514) 266-6027 A gift from the Ocean pearl necklace (14 K) starting at $89.95 24,000 Tel.: 514-539-1114 514-539-1076 # Gold 10, 14, 18 K * Jewellery repairs done in house Wo + en Certificates for all Occasions sold here Thousands of Gifts for all the family, friends, office, babysitter, etc.$20 to $30 PST + FST included Heroes Harold Jean 175 Principale Cowansville J2K 3L9 Domaine du Parc 266-7797 Famous Brands: Cacharel Outback Excelled Cooper Sizes: Small to XXXL Season\u2019s Greetings To Our Many Good Friends Best wishes and many thanks to our loyal customers and friends. 16\u2014BROME COUNTY NEWS\u2014Wednesday, December 20, 1995 BLOUIN'S Three locations to serve you better!
