Friends, neighbours and relatives joined in wishing her happy birthday on Saturday at the Blyth United Church. I have known Jean for several years now and let me say, when I heard the number 75, I was dumfounded. But there you have it. I have also heard from several sources that Jean is all but back to her old self after a frightful illness earlier this year. All the best Jean and one more hardy congratulations from all your Women's Institute friends, scattered near and far. Betty Archambault and I travelled to London on Thursday this week. While it isn't the first time Betty and I have misplaced a location, this one will remain in our bag of stories to tell for a while. This was the London Area Women's Institute executive's first meeting since being ratified on Oct. 5 at the Area Convention held in Thorndale. It was a very productive meeting with 15 members present and offering information and ideas. A lot of discussion centered on the scholarships and the investments that fund them. It was also stated that the submission deadline for inclusions for the next seasonal publication is extended to mid- January. This covers poems, stories, recipes, etc. THANK YOU EVERYONE for your support at the polls Nov 13. I will work to the best of my ability for Central Huron over the next 4 years. 74.euie ww.‘ agars Nag, ristelowoa Eight members of the Walkerburn Club met at the home of Christena Gross on Nov. 13. Vera Penfound opened the meeting with the singing of 0 Canada followed by Why Wear a Poppy, and In Flanders Field which was followed by a moment's silence and prayer. Betty Archambault read the minutes of the last meeting and took the roll call, which was recipes for salads. Ila Cunningham gave the treasurer's report. Donations were taken up for the Christmas Bureau and it was moved by Christena Grosi and seconded by Ethel Ball that a cash donation be made to the Salvation Army and The Red Cross. The Club will give baskets as Christmas gifts for the residents without families at Restview Retirement home. Deanna Snell will look after the gifts for the residents. Ball's Bridge has support A meeting of the Friends of Ball's Bridge was held at the home of Daryl Ball with 16 members present. They heard that a neighbour is presently repairing a bridge in Indiana and could replace the rivets on Ball's Bridge. Everyone shared their thoughts and ideas about the forum held in Goderich and any information received since the last meeting. Rebecca Garrett and Daryl Ball will meet with two members of county council, A-C-W council and Central Huron council on Dec. 18. Bill Crawford and Lloyd Penfound were named as alternates for that meeting. It was moved by Lee Davids and seconded by Bill Seers that the committee- stick with plan A, which is repairing and keeping the bridge open to traffic. There has been to date, over 1,000 signatures on a petition to keep Ball's Bridge open. First let me say, wow! One thousand signatures! Secondly, let me add — come on, Huron County, we can do better than that. That's only one in 50 (or thereabouts). Take a couple of minutes to learn more about this historic site. Get on that website or find a committee member and save this magnificent iron maiden. Mrs. Penfound will get a gift for John Raithby. Five members met at Restview on Oct. 16 to sing old-time favourites and four members were at Restview on Nov. 20 to sing Christmas carols together. The club members will be making St. Patrick's Day tray favours for the patients at Clinton hospital. 1The next meeting is to be held at the home of Ila Cunningham on Jan. 8. Christmas cards were signed to go with the gifts and to some former members or their husbands. Mrs. Penfound was in charge of the program and it was a reading about the Queen's farm of 15,000 acres with herds of Ayrshires and Jerseys. In the absence of Gun McLean, Mrs. Penfound provided lunch and assisted the hostess with serving. A social half hour was held. FROM AUBURN BUY? SELL? TRY CLASSIFIED Alex John Smith May 18 son of Mike & Laura Smith Wheeler goaltender of the week Colgate University women's hockey player Brook Wheeler, Brussels, was named the ECAC Hockey League Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Nov. 26. Wheeler made a season-high 33 saves in a 3-2 win over number five St. Lawrence on Saturday. It was the senior goaltender's first appearance between the pipes since Nov. 4. The Saints took immediate control of the game, outshooting Colgate 16-1 in the opening frame, but Wheeler kept the Raiders alive allowing just one powerplay goal during that time. This is Wheeler's first win over a nationally-ranked opponent this season, and the team's second, having defeated number four Dartmouth on Nov. 11. Wheeler also backstopped the Raiders in last season's 3-0 shutout of number three St. Lawrence that saw her earn the USCHO.com National Defensive Player of the Week after making a career-high 51 saves. • Stocking Stuffers • Gag Gifts (adult novelties) • Party & Wedding Supplies • Custom-made Bows • Joke Gifts & Cards • New Year's Party Supplies • Wigs • Makeup • Costumes • Custom T-Shirts Your party supply store! 3 North St., Goderich 19-524-1841. elr,441 1111 _ r 41- Maliett of the ljeatt 2006 COMMEMORATE THE NEWEST FAMILY MEMBER'S 1ST NEW YEAR Join the gallery of faces in The Citizen's baby photo display January 4, 2007 Send or bring a picture of your little one born in 2006 along with a writeup which includes full name, birth date and parents' names, to be featured in The Citizen's Gallery of Faces on January 4, 2007, for only $20.00 (GST included).
