Another meetin iiiarheid on Tuesday evening p this week: A Ripley Agriculture Society meeting was' held on Monday (Thanksgiving) evening with di cuision on the recent fair, PAO* SIXTEEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER:1k ivy AB WYLDS • Soon the fail fair season will be draiving to 4 close. Two• more to go - .WalltertOn's Little Royal, jormerly. the, 'Christmas fair this Week. 1411'1013th Octoher and 'Toronto's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair November 9 to 17 in the one big Wilding, the Coll.- . seunr at the north east end of the • • Exhibition Park. . • 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. • Ripley Fire Chief Doug Liddie has just handed us a copy, of a very interesting and informative paper. It is edited by Irwin Lobsinger or better known as "Lobie" of Walker. ton. It is called Fire.Preventor and this is, the first issue for this season. It is ,now in its' second annual edition and pertains to-- fire protection and fire fighting solely within the county of Bruce, from Tobermory in the north down to the south boundary with Huron and east to the. Grey County bound ary. Its front page has a map , Of 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, Nancy McGuire , Gayle Huston, Dorinda Forster and Patti Mac • - Donald. The Ripley page also 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• hill" at Lake Huron and had sev- eral calls to the Point Clark area this summer. Up to this year the Ripley Fire Department answered calls from far and wide and past chief Gordon Scott could write a book on his memories of fires throughout the whole area. • For deputy reeve of Huron Township, Bob Emerson of Pair- ple Grove, Monday 'of last week, OctOber the first , must have been a very long day - one of those with no ending. First it would be chores at the home farm, then the regular Huron -Township coun- cil meeting in the hall at Ripley with its , constant delegations and individuals meetingith them, then" in, the evening back to the same table on the stage in Huron township hall. This time Bob was chairman of a meeting of the committees dealing with the Ripley-Huron Recreation Com- plex which lasted close to mid- night - longer than this writer could stay after working all day. Attending this meeting were Bob himself, Doug Coultes , Rip- ley District. High School math teacher and secretary of the committee , Allan Irwin, Kenny Macbonald, John D. MacKay, Roddy MacDonald, Ab Wylds Cliff Emmerton, Jim Needham, Danny Dodds, Elmer Courtney Bert Elliott , Daye Henderson, Jack Farrell, Cannon Courtney, and Mrs. Marg Rouse. A report by Kenny. MacDonald 'on soil dril- ling stated that 'the site was good, solid land suitable for building.
