The art of auctioning WHEN BOOZE IS BAD Sorority looks at alcohol and negative side effects Clinton - The November 25 meeting of Xi Epsilon Beta . Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi began with a program presented by hostess Marguerite Falconer on drinking and alcoholism. The topic was timely for the festive season. Alcoholism is better described as alcohol dependency syndrome and a person suffer- ing from it is anyone whose drinking has a negative effect on any area of his or her life. This includes health, work, family rela- tionships, friendships or economic status. It takes the body one hour to burn off one drink. Coffee, food and fresh air do not help sober a person and only make a sleepy drunk into a wide-awake drunk. Marguerite showed the film "It Could Never Happen To Me" which demonstrated in painful detail the emotional, physical and financial results of drunk driving. Ways and Means chairman Ann Adams reported the final plans for the gift wrapp- ing project December 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23. It will be held at the Town Hall Council Chambers and all the proceeds go to the Hospital Fund Raising Project. A thank you letter from art scholarship winner Nan Tran was read. An. invitation to the chapter from the Seaforth Sorority chapter to attend a Vic- torian Christmas Decorating Party on December 10 at Van Egmond House was read. Following the business meeting two candlelight rituals were held. New member of Sorority, Sandra Balfour, received her Pledge pin, and Judy Stuart and Diane Stevenson became members of the Ex - exemplar degree and received new pins. Each of the women was presented with a® yellow rose, the floral symbol of Beta Sigma Phi. CLINTON — The November 25 meeting of the Zeta Omega Phi was held at the home' of Gail Sinclair. Her opening question, "What auctioning, experience can you remember?" was in line with her program on auctioneer- ing, with guest speaker, Richard Lobb. Richard Lobb's talk on Auctions and Auc- tioneering was most informative and enter- taining. He showed members some expen- sively sold auctioned items (the glory side of business), discussed various aspects of auc- tioneering, auctions and the life of an auc- tioneer. He ended the talk with a demonsaa- tion of the auctioning of a cup and saucer to show the techniques involved. The business portion of the meeting in- troduced two new members, Lesley Glover and Barbara Parker. The Clinton Rovers are providing a babysitting service (overnight!) for New Year's Eve.

There was some time taken for the Spring Fashion Show arrangements. The probable date for the Show will be April 7. It was decided that each meeting from now until April 7 will have discussion time for the Show. The next meeting is the Christmas Dinner to be held at Dagmar Crawford's on December 9.

Quite often Jim Ruddock joins the group and plays his . concertina. Besides the craft work that Jim does so well, he has been learning some new songs 'which he will sing from memory at concerts later on. There is a very active program going on at Huronview during the week, and it meets the needs of most of the residents. Capable staff involved see to it that the program is carried out. It is beginning to look like Christmas out here with decorative scenes on the walls and lighted trees throughout the building. Thanks to the staff who were responsible for the outdoor decor. Driving into the yard at night, one is greeted with a host of colored lights all aglow and sparkling. It is a time for gifts, parties, concerts and children, and a time for believing in the true sense and meaning of Christmas. The Silverts clothing van' arrived early Wednesday morning, and before long, the auditorium was transformed into a fashion centre. The display featured uniforms for nurses and other staff members. It was an opportune time to stock up on wearing ap- parel, without the hassle of shopping around. Ed Stiles was here Thursday afternoon to entertain the residents. On the chapel organ Pork workshops planned Enrolment forms for the Ontario Pork In- dustry Improvement Plan are continuing to flow into the Clinton OMAF office at a steady rate. With enough producers enrolled now, some trends are beginning to develop. Of close to 200 producers so far, about 70 percent have indicated that they are already keeping • monthly production records in some form. This would indicate that the majority of producers will need to spend a minimal amount of time meeting the obligatory production record require- ment for OPIIP incentive grants. As well, it is encouraging to see that the other 30 per- cent of those enrolled are willing to com- mence keeping a set of production records in order to meet eligibility requirements. This could possibly indicate that the New warden only one Huron County Reeve has an- nounced his intention to seek the warden's chair for 1987. Turnberry Township Reeve Brian McBurney, of RR 1, Wingham was the only member of Huron County Council to announce his candidacy before the cutoff deadline. McBurney will be sworn in at a ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
