A BIG •STEP- FORWARD
Ripley and Huron Township
have launched a major commun-
ity project. A new arena -com-
munity centre is being planned
to serve that community and the
committee in charge has set, its
sights on spending between
$250,,000 and $300,000 on the
recreation complex which, it is
planned, will provide year round
recreation for the area.
An indoor swimming pool,
with year round facilities has
also been proposed, but this is
a proposal only and is presently
not being considered as part. of
,.the plan, nor is it included • in the
costs Mentioned.
We understand, however, that
if the fund raising project for the
complex proves to be a complete
`success, and if, the area residents
show a high interest in a pool,
this could possibly become part
of the complex and ' an extension
of the present plan.
The major fund raising project
will be a $100,000 lottery, prov-
iding approval is' granted. by. prov-
incial authorities.
This is a big . move by the Ripley
Huron. community. Under the
guidance and leadership of, the
Ripley -Huron, Community Centre
Board'," the project is •moving
forward.
Over the past years, in associa-
tion with this newspaper, wehave
come to know the ,Ripley -Huron.
community, its people and its
capabilities.
Ripley -Huron, while small in
size, has . never lacked for pro-
gressive
ro-gressive ideas and community
spirit and we are confident 'that
this latest major community pro-
' �^r will be a "shot in the arm"
for tlie. Ripley -Huron area and a
focal point for 'community/recrea-
tion
community,ecrea-tion in the. future..

A WORD OF
APPRECIATION
'Each year The Sentinel pub-
lishes many hundreds of meeting
reports from various organiza-
tions .in the .area: These reports
contain many thousands and
thpusands of words and are pub-
lished in the Sentinel at no cost,
as part of our area news cover-
age.
We seldom get much reaction
from the readers of these columns,
except when somebody's name is
leftout or misspelled, or when
someone's report is left out be-
cause of late submission.
But every once in awhile, we
get those little notes of a,pprec -
iation that 'brighten our day.
A few months ago the• Kairshea
Institute sent a letter of apprecia-
tion for the space granted in The
Sentinel for publicizing their
activity. .
This past week we received a
note of thanks from St. Joseph's
Catholic Women's League at '
Kingsbridge for the coverage of
their .rneetings overthe, year.
St. Joseph's C.W.L. never let
a year go by without this thought•
ful gesture.• ...
Thank you ladies, the .apprec-
iation shown ,will be; conveyed.
to the Sentinel staff who share in
the work of putting your news,
into print.

First reactions to this occurrence
are that there must have been a
mixup, and this is a natural reac-
tion,
eaction, but the Miller family, who
have been in the business of sheep
raising' for many years , have the
animals all.tagged and recorded
and the unusual occurrence is a
fact, and certainly must be record•
ed in the oddities of nature.
