describe it: A quick survey by the
writer on Saturday morning reveal-
ed that in the basement there were
32 entries in the hay .competition
and 69 in corn including 20 corn
sheaves, 27, plates of cobs and 22
bushel baskets of grain. corn.
Upstairs we counted 40 baskets of.
potatoes and eight vegetable col-
lections on display. At• least seven,
4-H clubs had displays set up.
Then we had to return to the
secretary's job and office and never
did get back to the tables of
vegetables' where Stewart Need-
ham was the director in charge.
The fruit display was up this year.
Then there were the various
commercial and other indoor dis-
plays with Reg Moore and John
Gamble in charge.
At this concluding point a word
of thanksand praise goes to all who
helped make the 1974 Ripley -Hur-
on Fall Fair the great spectacle it
was. President Hugh Mason. the
directors and officials, president of
the lady directors Mrs. Marjorie
(Howard) Thompson of Purple
Grove and the secretary of the lady
directors divisipn Mrs. Gladys
(Wm.) Arnold and dozens more are
deserving of thanks in the way
they made plans and worked to
accomplish them_

At this time we remember that
our veteran lady director Mrs.
Sadie Stanley is still hospitalized at
St. Joe's in London. Also there and
seriously ill is Clark Campbell of
Ripley. Theresa Weber is in
Kincardinehospital seriously ill.
Area folks are glad to learn that
Donald Blue has recovered to the
point where he was able to return
home to Ripley last week. Miss
Eva Culbert, who suffered a
fractured knee. cap in a falla few
weeks ago, is still in hospital.

No doubt many people are
wondering about the words• ' `Ceud
Mile failte" which are on the lovely
prize ribbons and also on the front
cover of the Ripley prize lists. First.
'the language is the Gaelic in
honour of the 109 families from _
Lewis Island. Scotland who settled
in the centre of Huron Township in
September 1852 and secondly. as •
many know, they mean a hundred
thousand welcomes. The teacher
of the Gaelic language at St. Ann's
College says that "ceud" is • the.
more proper spelling,.but we note
that "ciad" which is also correct, is
more common. She also informs us
that it is "read" in Irish .Gaelic.
Top winners in the vegetable
collections were Mrs. J. H. John-
ston of Goderich who deserves
great credit for. getting around to
show at fairs. Mrs. Oliver McChar-
les, Mrs. Ewan MacLean. Mrs.
Duncan (Joan) MacLeod, and Em-
erson Rassman of Chesley. in
potatoes it, was Duncan MacLeod,
Hamilton MacKinnon. Lan- Mac-
Kay of Holyrood, Mr. and Mrs.
Dan McInnes of Blyth. Wray
Thompson of Purple Grove and
Mrs. Stewart Shields of Ripley. In
the corn show some 'of the top
*placings were taken by Bill and Bob
Scott, Mike Snobelen, • Morley
Scott, John C. MacDonald, Cecil
Sutton. Francis Boyle, Hugh Mas-
on, Donald MacTavish and Bob
Blackwell. In hay it was Eugene
Bridge,, Ralph Grubb. Don MacTav
