Fine Weather, Good Attendance, At
Ripley Fall Fair Held On Saturday
BY AB WYLDS
Well here it is Sunday morning,
rather dull outside, but dry under
foot, Time to write some news for
this week has arrived again. The
Ripley Huron Fall Fair is over for
another year and like Kincardine
andLucknow Fairs it was a dry day,
a good crowd and a nice parade.
MaSter of ceremonies Alan McLean
from just down the road a quarter
of a mile, kept things going from '
' the opening ceremonies to the last
event - the log sawing , competition
• on the ball diamond. The fair was
declared open by Gordon Hill,
president of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture. Here were the
district directors for the Agricultur-
al Societies ,in Bruce and Grey
Connties, namely District 10, Mr.
,Revis MacKay of Lovat, just this
side of 'Paisley and Mrs. John P.
Arnold of Mildmay. Also here
were our parliamentary members,
Murray Gaunt of Wingham and
Toronto and Crawford Douglas of
- Chesley and Ottawa. •
President of the fair, Morley
Scott of the Purple Grove area, was
here, there and everywhere ,on the
grounds. As well, the local news-
papers, the London Free Press.
and John Strong of CICNX were
here. Another new feature held for
the first time at' Ripley Fair was
MacDonald's Farm. Cecil Sutton
and , his wife Wilma rounded up
their different farm animals,
sheep, goats, geese, . ducks, chick-
' ens, turkeys and others and
brought them for the children to
see. The suggestion for holding
this came from Mrs. Margaret
McConnell of Meaford, who was
exhibiting-her purebred Shorthorn
cattle here for • the second year.
The directors liked, the idea and
Mr. and Mrs. Sutton and' family did
the work.
Last weekend, with its fair, Was
the yearly home coming weekend,
a time for former Ripleyites to meet
again. The motto says Ceud Mile
Failte, or a hundred thousand
welcomes. Among those back each
year are Bill and Wanda Harris,
Paul and his wife Bunny Harris and
baby, Courtney MacDonald, Mrs. Fifialist In

ter of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Pym

The contest, sponsored by mer-
chants in that area, drew 200

RECREATION
Registration at the Lucknow
" Swimming Pool was average in
comparison' with .other years,
,Public swimming Was down- from,
other years 4 which could. be
attributed .to weather conditions.
The 'Recreation Department giv-
es" credit to ,the Lucknow Leo Club
in conducting a successful play-
ground program in conjunction ,
with the morning swimming class,
es.. The Club supplied volunteer
members for a program of arts and
crafts and games.
Meanwhile in the ball park, slow
pitch ball was very po'pular, with
six area teams taking part, made
lip of speedy young men and men
who were speedy yesteryear. A
good deal of exercise, recreation
and fellowship was involved in
these games.
A Sunday playoff tournament
was held to decide the Playoff
champions, North Ashfield team,
headed by Cleason Martin, out-
slugged Belfast approximately 30-
25 and were declared overall
champions. The only bit of
violence observed throughout the
tournament was whet a night
fielder of the Kinsmen team called
a base umpire a blind and was
ejected from the game.
The Minor Ball program was
very limited; due to the lack of
coaches and players. It is hoped
that next ball season, there will be
a more extensive ball program
implemented or we will see a
renovated ball park fu11 of empti-
ness. 4 boys team of 12-16 year
olds was organized and played in a
local recreation league. At time of
writing the Lucknow team was in a
championship round with Kings-
bridge.
The local girls team fared well,
playing in the Central Ladies
League and they won the cham-
pionship in their division.
As for the Intermediate Ball
Club, they keep burning up the
road trying to win their second
championship in three years. They
are currently in a final series for.the
B championship with Chesley, to
be completed by October 2nd.

Apart from the fair, there are
still those things up in the sky. On gr id ay evening there was the white
shining object just up , from the
setting sun and this time there was
no doubt about it being there as it
was seen over a wide area. Bob
Emerson saw it driving along the
highway. Another .man reported
seeing it enroute from Toronto to
Kincardine. The first call to alert/

Emerson of Purple Grove who hid

On stepping' out the door the boSrs
in Gore Park, including Michael
Tout of Kincardine, were across to

throught at first that it was Venus -
the evening star. Looking higher in
the sky 'there .was a jet airplane
flying eastward and a flock of
Canada geeSe winging south
straight over Ripley. However,
