The Wingham club was repre- sented with a strong team consisting of Mike Shepp- herd, John Schenk, Bevin Lindsay and Ted Brewster. They were put out by one- quarter of a point. Before Christmas, a team skipped by Vicki Wild competed in the provincial playdowns for women held in Goderich. The rest of the _team was Mary Williams, vice, Jane Treleaven, second and Martha Sheppherd, lead. They reported two very good games, but came out on the losing end both times.

Based on 96 pound lambs marketed, the federal government is paying producers $5.14 per lamb marketed in 1981. Monique Cameron won a pen. Congratulations girls! The mothers hope everyone will be looking forward to the group's Midget tournament draw. Anyone wishing to donate a prize is asked to call M. L. Cameron at 357-1565. The ladies would appreciate the support. The new microwave oven soon will be operating. The oven was a gift from minor hockey as a reward for past good works. The mothers' auxiliary is pleased too that a Wingham company will be able to suppy the food required. After all, the proceeds are for Wingham boys, therefore business _ should be kept in the com- munity, the group agreed. Earl Jenkins will be con- tracting the job which means the high standards will be met. The executive hopes that fans and players will con- tinue to support the arena booth. The coffee machine upstairs is . convenient granted, but it was put there for that purpose and not for game times. It's obvious that liquids are very hot and not safe for young children, the auxiliary asks parents to watch their children carefully. Captains for this month are Lorraine Poulin, Hilda Stainton, Joanne Mills and Janet Haines. The group hopes the workers will be as helpful as usual so the job goes well.
