Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused Blyth John McClinchey of Blyth won the half of beef in the draw at the Blyth Legion Dec. 20. Visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Snell on Thursday night were Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Snell, Nikki, Craig and Kriss and Marla Estabrook of Sudbury. Cliff, Bev, Craig and Nikki Snell hosted the 1991 family Christmas at their home for their parents Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Snell of Blyth. Pre­ sent for the celebration were Kriss Snell, Sudbury; Mrs. and Mrs. Har­ vey Snell, Londesboro; Shane Snell, Clinton; Tara Garland, Clin­ ton; Shannon Snell, London; Mrs. and Mrs. Jack Johnson and Kurt, London; Kari Johnson, Peterbor­ ough; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Timpany, Aylmer; Deaneen Timpany, Wind­ sor, Bob Kebbell, Aylmer, Mr. and Mrs. Herb Shannon, Darryl, Corey, Nathan and Devin, Blyth. A festive dinner and an afternoon of fellow­ ship were enjoyed by everyone. Leslie Phillips, son of Ernie and Emily Phillips, RR 2, Blyth, spent a two-week Christmas holiday with his parents. Joining the Phillips family for New Year's were Emily's parents, Rev. Tom and Mrs. Smith of Wingham. Leslie returned to St. Catharines last Sunday to continue his second year studies at Brock University. Rick, Barbara and daughter Megan Gervais of Kitchener spent Christmas and Boxing Day with Barbara's mother Gwen Papple and husband Bruce, Dinsley St. W. On Dec. 21, 40 members of the Bromley family enjoyed Christmas festivities in the Londesboro Hall, as is their custom. They included the children of Charles and Pearl Bromley: twin sons Brad and Brian, Bob, Barrie, Bill, Bruce, and daughter Betty Ireland. The Bromley family is a closely knit one. Their home locations facilitate this togetherness. They all live in Blyth or just two or three miles away, except for Betty in Teeswater and Brian in Mitchell. Their dad maintains that quarreling among themselves was, and still is foreign to the Bromley nature. Pearl Bromley has spent two whole years in three different hos­ pitals. She now lives in Brae Lodge, Wingham and is allowed to come home weekends to mingle with her children and grandchildren and often to share a meal with them. Just last Sunday 12 or 13 of the family were together. The Bromley parents are very sportsminded. They were, long before they moved to Blyth. Hence their present interest and support in both hockey and football. Last Sun­ day, Pearl, in her wheelchair and Charlie near by watched, intently, the hockey game between Blyth and Wingham. Perhaps a grandson or two were participating, but make no mistake, their first interest is always the game itself. The Brom­ leys would have relished a win last Sunday, but had to settle for a tie, far better than the Dallas Cow Boys did in their football game last Sun­ day against Detroit. A fleecing they got! As this is being published, we know that at Brae Lodge two Bromleys are enjoying and relaxing with others over a game of cards. Every afternoon this recreation takes place. Every day that Charlie travels to where Pearl is (these trips and visits have gone on for well over a year) he doesn't consider it a duty. Il is a privilege. Pearl and Charlie Brom­ ley are on the right track. Do you agree? Garth and Dianne Walden, West­ field, opened their home for a fami­ ly get-together New Year's day. Those attending were Walter, Eunice and Rodney Cunningham of Fort Francis, Ont.; Gary and Rachael Walden and family of Clinton; Brian and Bev Walden and family, East Wawanosh; Linda Wilson and children, Blyth; and Lloyd and Mary Walden of Blyth. Visitors at the home of Mary and Lloyd Walden, Thursday, January 2 were Walter, Eunice and Rodney Cunningham, Fort Francis, Ontario. Lt ommunity Oriented Policing —COMMITTEE­ TIP OF THE WEEK Have a Happy New Year, but please be responsible. Use a designated driver. THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: SPARLING’S PROPANE CO. LTD., BLYTH You can lose a lot more than your licence drinking and driving.©Ministry of the Attorney Ontario General NOTICE TO SNOWMOBILERS It has been brought to the attention of the council of the Village of Blyth that there have been several snowmobiles trespassing on private property without the permission of the property owners. Also there has been an excessive amount of driving on the streets within the village. It appears that some of these machines are being driven by underaged drivers which is an offence punishable by law. The Blyth Snow Travellers would like to strongly urge these drivers, as well as the parents of unqualified drivers, that this practice be stopped immediately to prevent the possible passing of a by-law to prohibit the operation of snowmobiles within the village limits. The snowmobile club tries to set up and maintain several miles of trails in rural areas around the village and it is our request that this is the only place that snowmobiles be operated. Please comply with our wishes. Your Q I Local OFFICER FRIENDLY men's, ladies' & children's clothes Check out our fine selection of 1/2 price boots and shoes Note: Winter Hours Closed Wed.
