She also gave the theme
for the devotions, "Faith in
the New Year", stressing the

Golf and Curling Club
All curling is back in full
swing at the Wingham Golf
and Curling Club. Some new
curlers have joined since
Christmas and we extend a
welcome to the club.
The Labatt play-offs for
men went off as scheduled.
This event was arranged and
scored by Bill Hanula. 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. The
Senior Ladies are playing in
a competition in Seaforth
this week.
A fun day of curling vas
held Dec. 27 with both the

The national average
market price for all
slaughter lambs in 1981 was
calculated at $69.05 per cwt.,
while the federal support
price was $74.40 per cwt.
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.
Bestwishes for 1983 from
the Mothers- Auxiliary to
Wingham Minor Hockey.
