-f CLINTON - You name it and it was more than likely sold at the Fourth
Annual Dinner and Auction presented by the Board of Trustees of the
Clinton Public Hospital (CPH) on April 12.
Forty-four items were auctioned off by Jack Riddell, Huron -Middlesex
MPP and Minister of Agriculture and Food, and Clinton's own Richard
Lobb during the fun -filled evening at the Legion. The silent auction con-
sisted of an additional 19 items and generous bids on all items produced
$8,348 which will go towards the new obstetrics wing at CPH.
A handmade quilt, donated by Rod and Joyce Doig of Seaforth was the
highest selling item, going for $500. A round walnut footstool made by the
late John Plumtree brought the second highest bid, selling for $300. This
item was donated by Catherine Plumtree.
Bringing in the third highest price was an original watercolor donated
by C.W. Kettlewell. It was auctioned off for $275. The next highest item
was an original art work donated by Eileen Staddon which went for $250.
The fifth highest item was a book shelf which went for $225. It was
donated by Ball and Match.
And of course, no CPH auction is complete without the "unusual"
items. This year Dr. Peter Salsbury tried his hand at auctioneering, open-
ing the event with the sale of a flamingo, complete with rotating wing+ Dr.
Salsbury was successful in getting132 from Mayor John Balfour.
A second item which brought a lot of attention was a baby blue neglige,
donated by Lady Elayne Fashions of London. It went for $95.
At the end of the evening, Dr. Art Steed decided to part with his colorful
suspenders, selling them, and a pair of pants, for $120.
"We were very pleased with the auction. Everything went at a very
high price," commented chairperson Faye Fear.
This year's auction committee consisted of Joyce Chilton, Doug Coven-
try, Dianne Freeman, Dave Hanley, Al Jewson, Velma Lewis, Dan Steyr,
Dawna Westlake and Faye Fear.
