Last .atnrday, October 6th, the
weatherman had a fine day for
fairs. Exhibitors and attendants
from this Huron-Ripley area were
divided between Tiverton and.
Teeswater. Tiverton had the
Durham Girl's Drum and Bugle
Band which was in Ripley the prev-
ious Saturday and the Lucknow
Pipe Band ,while Teeiwater went
with their own Highlanders Band.
Teeswater had 'an improved band -
nice music and a brighter plaid
uniform this year.
It was nice to meet the former
Irene Mahood who was raised on
the fourth of Huron Township, .a
former student at the Ripley Dist-
rict High School and a track ath-
lete •on our team. She is now
Mrs. EVan Smyth of Formosa and
is the new secretarrtreasurer of
the Teeswater Fair. Irene was a
very busy lady on Friday and Satur
day as all who hold these offices
with fairs .know too well.
Miss Donna Craig of Kincardine
Township, this year's Bruce Coun-
ty Dairy Princess, took part in the
Tiverton fall fair officially de-
claring it open last. Saturday..
Donna rode in the'parade at Rip-
ley and took part here. Donna,
the second daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Donald Craig, won the Bruce
County. Dairy Princess competition

When the big Teeswater fair
day draws to a close , everyone's
concern must be to get their car
out from its parking place and
home. Safely. Unfortunately 'one
car failed to safely. make the last
curve. on the road about four mil
es east of HolyrOod ended in the
ditch snapping off a hydro pole
and bringing down the heavy pow-
er lines. The car was reportedly
carrying kload of Holyrood
area young people who were taker;
to In/Ingham Hospital, for treat-
ment. To this writer the location
would be "y" intersection of
the eighth concession, of Kinloss
running east from HolyrOod and ,
joining into the boundary r .1 •be-
tween Kinloss• and Culross
which always seems to be an
'angle' road.
One big featurepf the Saturday
morning show is the 4-H calf pow
at Teeswater. In the senior calf
section for Holsteins there were'
26 calves entered. These paraded
around the ring on the hill at'the
east end of .the grounds \single file
and in a clockwise direction while
the judges picked out who was to
go into the first line , then the
second and third. The girls and
boys leading their animals wore
clean 'white 4-H unifornis and it
attracted considerable 'attention
and interest. On making 'a
tour of the barns on the east hill
the writer and Fran were made
aware that it was about to take
place by Jim and Dorothy Need-
ham. Among.the many lining the
snow fence around the ring .were a
number from Huron, Donald Mac-
Kay, Jack Farrell, Jim Needham,
Jim Farrell, Gordon Bridge, Wal-
lace Polloc-k, Mrs. Leonard Reid ,
mrs. Murray Walden.,.Mrs. Elaine
Pollock. In the senior calf sec-
tion from here'were Dianne• Mac-
Kay and Mike Pollock, both
leading their calves in the big cir-
cle. Dianne's calf •could easily be
picked out as it the blackest in
colour. Both Dianne and Mike
were placed by the judges in the
group of first prize winners. The
junior Holstein Calf section had
well over 30 entries. In this
section was Carol Mackay who
placed in the first group. of win-
ners. Dianne and Carol are the
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Don-
ald MacKay and Mike Pollock,
Sherry's younger brother is the son ,
of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Pollock
both families on the tenth conces-
sion of Huron Township. To .add
excitement and. concerna big
hereford calf broke away from the
young boy leading it and ran
through the Holstein circle. This
was before the Sentinel publisher
got out in the enclosure to take
pictures of the Holstein calf show ..
Another man having a busy day •
was the Bruce County extension
assistant , Daryl Ball, who super-
vises all Bruce 4-H clubs. Also
in the Holstein calf show'ring with
their calves were the two sons of
Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Fischer of
Belmore. George had a senior
calf while•his younger brother
Kenneth had a junior calf. Their
mother is the former Lucille Pol-
lock, daughter of Mrs. Ernie Pol-
lock of Ripley, and she
is also the aunt of Miss Sherry
Pollock, last year's Ontario Dairy
Princess..Lucille is a graduate of
the Ripley District High School
and was its champion
ping ;gong player whilc attending
here.

season. It is ,now in its' second
annual edition and pertains to--
fire protection and fire fighting

from Tobermory in the north down
to the south boundary with Huron
and east to the. Grey County bound

Bruce coloured red with the 15 fire
departments and their areas mark-
ed out. Also a "know your Fire
number" - Ripley's number to call
is 395-2622 and Lucknow's num-
ber' is 528-3131. On the "Ripley"
page there is a picture showing
the Ripley truck loaded with
young boys and girls from the-Rip•-•
ley Hnron.Surnmer playground pro-
gram. The ones on the truck
were from groups under. instructors
Janice ,Reeves., Carol MacKay and
Susan Brooks. There were five
other high school girls 'acting as
instructors, Donna Needham,

describes the change-over of the
fire trucks and equipment to the
new Huron 'Township Municipal
Garage at the east end of Mal-
colm Street in the north east corn-
er of the village. Ripley's fire
depirtment covers "below the•
