years.

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

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.

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.

The heifers were bom from one
sac and the bull was in a separate
one. The calves are healthy and
weighed approximately 50 lbs. al
birth. The average birth weight is
anywhere from 75 to 100 lbs. for a
single calf, with the herefords in
the lower range, says Mr. Jamieson.
As a third generation farmer in
East Wawanosh, Mr. Jamieson says
he has never heard of triplets in the
area before and a Wingham vet told
him he could only remember one
set, which was bom 35 to 40 years
ago.
Triplets are born slightly more
frequently than Mr. Jamieson's esti
mate but rarely do all three survive,
he says.
