The Lucknow Sentinel, 1972-11-08, Page 17This Week In Rip ley BY AB WYLDS About 2 p.m. on Tuesday of last week, the fire whistle sounded in Ripley. The fire was at the • home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Peter- baugh at the south tide of Bervie - ori.the• sideroad. The outbreak was confined to one spare room. Taking.the Ripley Fire truckout were Chief Doug 'Addle and Rod MacDonald. Other Ripley fire- men at the fire were Bob Johnson, Jack Scott and Jonny Dodds with Gordon Scott at the firehall. That same Tuesday evening was Hal- lowe'en and the firemen were again out in car patrol on the streets till the early hours of Wed- nesday morning. • • • • • A party was held for the child- ren in the Ripley Huron Legion hall early Hallowe'en evening. Then the girls and boys in costume went to the different homes in Ripley for candy treats. It was a nice- dr-y- evening outside although somewhat chilly and it was really nice to see the Costumed. young- , sters travelling in groups along the• Sidewalks, On the village streets it was the most peaceful ever ex- periended. There was no attempt to place anything on the roads. As far as known none of Elmer , Courtney's farm machinery was touched, we would like to think that the young folks apprec- iate Elmer's, work in the field of sports. The seats at the ball park were upset as usually happens and there was a reduced amount of soaping. However there were a few cases of. vandalism. Costly • damage was done to the new Rip-, ley Post Office where the glass in the front entrance door was Smashed, lettering removed, and lights at the rear of the building broken. Damage was also done to a car parked outsideo Frank.ain Zipfel's garage and an aerial ~tJ en from al • street. * * • * Mrs. Tena Outerbridge is a patient in Kincardine and District Hospital.

The entries must//be moved from the west annex 'to the east annex. Now how do you 'get around the horse arena .without going back ,down to the main floor? Well after, asking a' few people a fire escape corridor was found at the south end of the horse arena leading ,froin the west annex to the east annex on. the 'up -stair--floor. Dim-light-enter-- each end made it possible for one to "feel" away through the pas- sage. All--entries - sheaves, hay, corn and grain were then carried over. Over in the east annex we were told these: entries should be in the west annex. A-trip down- stairs to the main offices to clear the matter up brought, the reply that th-ey did 'nod know whefe the- field crops were to be shown.' However an official took us to the corridor between the east annex and the cattle barn where another official told us these ent- ries must be taken downstairs and stored in a room iiitthe cattle barn alleyway. This was so they could be in a locked room till the next day and then be take back up tizithe east annex where we .had them now.
