Winners of the Spring Thaw Bonspiel at the Vanastra Curling Club last weekend was the Vanastra team of, front row left to right, Cliff Parker, and Rene Brochu, and back row, Eleanor Shiels and Kay Sharp.

(News -Record photo) Clinton court report Charges involving alcohol filled the majority of cases at Clinton Court on April 4. Roger Barrie received a $54 fine for having Legion Ladies busy By Rene Brochu Spring has certainly arrived as evidenced by the activities in our Branch. Our Ladies Auxiliary have again embarked on a busy spring with bowling banquets in the forefront. Last Saturday, it was the Bowling banquet and dance for the Clinton and area Mixed Bowling League. It was, as always, a delightfully pleasant dinner prepared and served by our dutiful ladies. Our thankful appreciation also to those who tended Bar and saw to the needs of the party, including Steve Maguire, Neil Elliott, and Gord Tait. Our TGIF night was again well patronized last Friday evening as many of our Comrades and wives dropped in for_a._ chit-chat and the benefit of a pleasant atmosphere. Comrade George •Rumball won the first prize in the raffle draw and Phyllis Mountford won the second prize. The attendance draw went unclaimed as Fred Shropshall had failed to register so the pot grows once more. Our Legion Auditorium was really hopping last Tuesday evening as our Girl Guides held a dance in lieu of that weeks meeting. It was a gala time for the young folks who attended. The Legion donated the Hall and the pop and chips for the dance and the Legion staff came up with the door and spot dance prizes. Our thanks to the Guide Leaders and Gladys East for devoting their time and efforts towards its success. While the Guides were hopping upstairs, our men's euchre group were hard at it in our lower lounges when comrade Harold Black, who holds a commanding lead in the seasons lone hand department, also won the high evening score with an 85, and comrade Ed Deeves cornered the low score with a 47. Our r young retired bar tender, Comrade Hub Reynolds captured the most lone hands with 5, as he would no doubt say, you guys aint seen nothing yet! Howie Grealis played well enough to maintain his slim lead in the season's high average area with a T4.9 score, but he is closely persued by a horde of others, so only the final evening will proclaim the winner of that department. Last Thursday was another busy evening for our Branch Bingo, which was well attended by the area bingo enthusiasts. Our jackpot of $200 was split by two of our at- tenders who escaped before names could be obtained. That same evening, our dart club was occupying the lower lounges and back room area for their weekly get together. Comrade Doug Mclsaac and Edna Atkinson won the pairs event and the men's high single score went to Comrade Alden King with a 135 while Rosemary Armstrong came up with the high ladies' single score with a 110. This has been the first 'year that our Branch has had entries in the Huron County Dart League for quite a number of years and they have certainly proved that they belong in the league as last Saturday afternoon at the Brussels Legion our teams A and B finished third in their respective ft divisions. Most, if not all, the credit for this success goes to the . Chairman Comrade Terry Hollin- shead and his committee. They have certainly brought honors and credits to our Branch, not only for their expertise at darts but also for their gentlemanly behaviour at the meets. The members of Branch 140 extend an expression of sympathy to Comrade Oscar Priestap and his family on the loss of Oscar's brother Walter, who had been seriously ill for a number of years. Let us all pause and pray for our departed and personally express our condolences liquor available; Ervine Hov ald was fined $54 for having liquor available; as was Barry MacDonald in another case. Kevin, William Ste. Marie, was fined $54 for consuming liquor in a place other than in a residence and David Stephenson was fined $54 for a minor having liquor and $108 in a charge of careless driving. �IlI ill JV Alm CLINTON NEWS RECORD THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1979—PAGE 7 JV , Springspiel elat Vanastra The Clinton rink of Cliff Parker, Kay Sharp, Rene Brooh-u and Eleanor Shields were the overall point getters in the Spring Thaw Bonspiel at the Vanastra Curling Club during the weekend and took home the Brochu family trophy for their efforts. Twenty-four rinks participated in the two day event which started off at 8 a.m. Saturday morning, even though the storm last Friday had some wondering about spring thaw weather. In second place on the first draw was Ron Sellars' rink with Rosemary Sellars, Ian and.Joan Kennedy. Third place went to another Clinton foursome, Percy Brown, skip, Isobel Theedom, vice, Len Theedom second and Mary Brown lead.

Second winners of their draws place was taken by the were David Townsend, Turner rink with Jack Nancy Deitz, Dale Benny in third place. Stephenson and Julie Consolation went to Dave Hemingway, his wife Pat, Claire Cox and Robin Theedom lead. It was amazing how early most of the curlers came in for breakfast Sunday morningafter dancing all nigt. Stu Wilson in his chef's outfit certainly dished out some fine ham and eggs. Jack McLauchlan later showed us he was no slouch with the ladle either, and if that didn't fill you up, there were pancakes and maple syrup served by the 1dJies. Mrs. Rene Brochu did the honours in presenting the Brochy Family trophy to the winners. This trophy had been up for competition some years ago when Rene was in the servic^ and recently put up for the winners of the Spring Thaw bonspiel. Len Theedom on behalf of one of the spon,sors, Gaiser-Kneale, presented the prizes to the third draw winners. Clinton Chrysler and Kerrigan Fuels also helped sponsor this spiel. One of the most disappointed members of McBeath in the second draw and Brian Falconer, Sylvia Forbes, Dale Stephenson and Mary Gibson in the first draw. Juniors curling out of the Vanastra curling club had a good year in spite of the late start. A mixed team with Ron Taylor, Mary Gibson, Mike Coleman and Julie Townsend were winners of a spiel in Seaforth this winter and the boys' team. representing CHSS were just beaten by a 3-2 score in the WOSSA finals in London. Another year and Clinton could have a provincial winner. Reports in last week's paper make it appear that the future of the Vanastra Curling Club could be in jeopardy. For the good of the, com- munity and especiq,lly the young people, it would be' a shame to lose this local recreation facility.
