Blyth’s Ed Watson was the successful bidder Saturday night for
Florence Bear, R.N., donated to the Clinton Public Hospital’s annual
Dinner and Auction by Remember When of Blyth, and here held aloft
by hospital administrator Don Steyn. The event, held at the Blyth and
District Community Centre, raised more than $10,000 which will go
toward the hospital’s equipment fund. Articles large and small were
donated by businesses and individuals from Blyth to Varna, as well as
from farther afield, for both the silent and general auctions which were
the evening’s main events. Photo by John Elliott
Teddys to lingerie bring
$10,300 at Blyth auction
The sixth Annual Fund Raising
Dinner and Auction sponsored by
the Clinton Public Hospital and
held this year at the Blyth
Community Centre on the evening
of April 30, realized $10,300. The
entire proceeds goto the Equip
ment Fund.
Guests carried out the Western
Theme beautifully, some wearing
full regalia from hats to boots,
others, modified Western attire.
The Blyth Legion Ladies Auxiliary,
who were in charge of the dinner,
looked very smart in their Western
attire as they served 153 diners.
The Blyth Inn was responsible
for the hors d’oeuvres table which
displayed five varieties of hot and
cold delicacies.
Members of the Hospital Board
provided, and four of them carved,
the beef at the smorgasbord tables.
Lady members of the Board had
decorated the walls, Western
style. Calgary atmosphere pre
vailed everywhere.
When the Lobb auctioneers took
over, fun and excitement increas
ed, with bidding going at a terrific
pace. They even did a good job
modelling a gorgeous peignoir set
which provided much merriment,
as well as helping the hospital by
$200, thanks to Dr. Newland.
As the courtesy remarks read
concerning the Lobb contribution,
“Without you we couldn’t have
had an auction.”
When some of the Blyth Legion
ladies were asked around midnight
inthekitchen, “Aren’tyou tired?”
Mildred Ament replied truthfully,
“Although we had lots of dishes to
wash - five plates alone were used
for serving each of the 153 diners
and two of them large ones, we
enjoyed our work. We carried out
to the letter Clinton's request for
Menu items. Several were differ

Brussels considers recycling
Little Sharalee Zehr of Brussels was chosen as a delighted assistant to
actor and magician Michael Ross as he performed his sleight of hand
for a large audience of kids and parents at the Brussels Library on
Saturday. Instructed to cut a “tiny piece” off the spotted
handkerchief, Sharalee couldn ’ t figure where most of the rest of it had
disappeared. The event was sponsored jointly by the Huron County
Library, Outreach Ontario, and the Ontario Arts Council.

puts out one and a half bags of
garbage a week according to
figures compiled in a survey of
Brussels householders undertaken
by assistant clerk-treasurer Donna
White(whomissed the meeting
because she was in hospital after
giving birth to a son). Nearly half
the households replied to the
survey. In addition several busi
nesses replied with some stores
producing several bins per week of
garbage.
Council is preparing to look at
more recycling to reduce the
amount of garbage sent to the
waste disposal site shared with
Morris township.

House numbers are at last ready
for Brussels homeowners. Coun
cillor Ruth Sauve said two compu
ter print-outs of numbers assigned
to each horde are now available in
the village office: one in alphabeti
cal order and another arranged
similarly to the assessment roll.
Anyone can get their number by
calling the village office. It is also
hoped that local groups may take
on the job of offering numbers for
sale for people to put up. Councillor
Neil McDonald felt there should be
a specification as to the size of the
numbers, recommending a mini
mum size of six-inch high so they
could be seen easily. Council did
nottake any action on the size of
numbers to be used.Me ** **
Council is unhappy with the slow
progress of the final cleanup of the
sewer line installation in the south
end of town near the BMG
Community Centre and so voted to
inform the engineer on the project
that it is witholding the $7,000
statuatory holdback on the project
until the contractor’s work is
completed.*****

something. We broadened our
horizons with new ideas. It was
fun.”
It was nice to see or read in the
programs about the contributions
of Blyth people for this worthy
Huron cause.

Our goof
The gremlins were at it again last
week - this time likely giving local
ratepayers a nasty turn as they
read the figures reported in last
week’s Citizen as several munici
palities’ contributions towards the
Blyth and District Community
Centre Board’s 1988 recreation
agreement.
The correct contributions for
each municipality should be as
follows: Blyth, $6,882; Hullett
Twp., $5,328; East Wawanosh
Twp., $4,440; Morris Twp.,
$3,996; and West Wawanosh
Twp., $1,554; for a total of $22,200
in local contributions.
We apologize for any inconveni
ence.
McGavin. Members checked over
a new Ford tractor and a Nuffield
fortheir safety features. They then
saw a film relating tractor driving
to piloting a plane. They heard
from Neil Stapleton, a local
accident victim, who had an
accident with a large round bale
that fell off the loader and rolled
over him. He stressed common
sense and take time - don’t rush.
