Triplets doing well rare occurrence Ron Jamieson of RR 2 Lucknow, got a surprise on Jan. 6 when his five-year-old Holstein cow gave birth to triplets.

B elgrave Auburn WI makes needed donations The January meeting of the Auburn Women's Institute was held at the Community Hall on Thursday, Jan. 20. President Jean Plaetzer welcomed all. The meeting opened with Ode, Mary Stewart Collect and O Canada. Secretary Marion Haggitt gave the highlights of the November and December meetings. Tena Empey gave the treasurer's report and stated that $25 had been sent to places where donations were called for. It was also noted that tea towels and pot holders were needed for the hall kitchen and maybe next meeting some could be donated or bought by the Institute. The WI signs for the Auburn area were discussed. The roll call was answered being "A public relation act I did this year." The topic Public Relations was in charge of Maureen Bean. She introduced Rhonda Bruxer who has a hobby of "Brown Bag Cookie Molds". She had a lovely display of Midgets in quest for one more victory Continued from page 8 in a hurry as Blyth took the lead only 35 seconds later. Heipel and Chamney set up Jonathan Collins, who walked in from the blueline and zipped one in from point blank range. The shaky Milverton goaltending got shakier as Boven set up Bos for a long shot for the insurance marker one and a half minutes later. Lyons set up Craig's shot that was tipped in front by Heipel to give Blyth a 6-3 lead with this power play goal with five minutes remaining in the game. Blyth recorded their third power play goal of the game with just under two minutes remaining as Chamney drew the puck back to Craig from the faceoff in the Milverton zone. Craig became the third Blyth defenceman to score in the game on yet another long shot. Goaltending and discipline have her work and told members about it. She had cookie molds, animal molds, butter molds, even cards for different occasions. Everyone had a closer look at her work later. Tena Empey had a display of the silk scarves she makes. They were lovely and easier than the tied ones to wear. Jean Plaetzer showed a sweat shirt she had decorated at a class. Maureen had a contest on "how far we had travelled in mileage that day" and Betty Archambault received a prize for that. Maureen read a letter from a book, "Trudeau's Memoirs". Grace and Queen were sung then members gathered around for a delicious lunch served by Ruth Jardin and Marion Haggitt. Rhonda passed out tickets and several won articles made of her shortbread. She also gave out samples. Ruth Jardin had a contest to guess how many caramels were in a been the keys to he series so far, with Milverton failing miserably on both counts. This was never more evident than at the conclusion of the game. Blyth's Tim Lyons was gang attacked after the final whistle by two Milverton players. He skated away while the referee and linesmen intervened. The Milverton frustration was then taken out on the officials and, as a result, Milverton’s biggest offensive threat will be enjoying the remainder of the series, and beyond, from the stands. His actions resulted in a match penalty for abuse of officials. Blyth needs one more victory to win the series and advance to the WOAA 'C Final against Wiarton. This could come on Jan. 24 in Milverton or if game four is needed, it will be on Friday, Jan. 28 at 9 in Blyth. bag. Mildred Lawlor guessed correctly and received the caramels.

By Janice Becker Ron Jamieson of RR 2 Lucknow has a set of healthy triplets on his farm and the mother is only five years old. The Holstein cow gave birth to her family on Jan. 6 and the two heifers and one bull are doing very well, says Mr. Jamieson. "The chance of triplets is one in several hundred thousand." Mr. Jamieson says he bred the brother with a holstein last season and she had a difficult time with the very large calf. "I thought I'd give her a break this time," and breed her with the smaller hereford. "So this time she has three calves," he says. 4-H club plans fun night The Belgrave 4-H Club is having a family fun night skating party in the Belgrave Community Centre on Friday, Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. Members will be receiving their awards for Home for the Holidays and the Horse Club.
