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 ent from what we would have 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. Continued from page 2 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. ***** Dog control officials will be asked to make a “sneak attack” on dogs running at large. Council decidedtokeep Arteeka Canine Control on an “on call” basis, paying for each time the company is called in. In early morning patrols of the village earlier this springtwo dogs were captured, one of which was eventually claimed by its owner and another which was destroyed after no 4-H machinery club meets at McGavin's The Huron County 4-H Farm Machinery Club held its meeting on Monday, April 25 in the new shop at McGavin’s Farm Equip­ ment. The topic for the night was Farm Safety. The host was Brian owner appeared. The company will be asked to make the “sneak attack” at a different time of the day.***** 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.***** Building permits were approved to Bill Wheeler for a new house, Doug Ruttan for interior renova­ tions, a new roof and a garage and Wayne Jacklin for a new roof. served. But we felt we learned 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. 1987 Pontiac 6000, 4 door with air 1986 Pontiac Bonneville, 4 door with air. 1986 Chevette Scooter, 2 to choose from. 1985 Pontiac BonnevHle, 4 door with air. 1984 Pontiac, 4 dr., Station- wagon with air. 1982 Chev Monte Carlo, 2 door HAMM’S CAR SALES Blyth 523-4342 •Gas Pumps*Repairstomost makesand models Now isthetlme to have your air conditioning service done & alignment wheel balance service & tune-up. Be Ready to Go In The Nice Weather! 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.
