Sunday morning again - overcast
and dull, but thankfully it is not
snowing. Delbert Hedley of
Holyrood has driven the yellow
Bruce Highways truck both ways
through ,Ripley, along the 8th to
Pine River and on the 15th and his
wingman operating 'the plow has
cleared the snow back. Earlier the
Anglican Church, St. Paul's, bell
rang briefly. As well people and
children are travelling to Knox and
St. Andrews for morning service.
Not snowing, well it has started
again. Into this scene comes a'
downy woodpecker to hammer on
the 'rotted limbs of trees searching
for grubs to eat.
What* week it has been. First
winter gets going - cold, deep snow
and blowing . winds. It looks like
last February all over again.. Then
two former students of the high
school here, Allan McCharles and
Mrs. Thomas Inglis pass away on
Thursday in widely separated
places. The unexpected sad word
comes back to Ripley like those
times in the Second War and leaves
a stunned feeling.
• • • * * • * •
On 'Thursday Mrs. Thomas
Inglis, the former Rhoda Robert-
son, passed away at 'her home in
Howick Township: Funeral service'
was in Wingham on' Saturday
afternoon with temporary entomb-
ment in the Wingham Cemetery
F•
Chapel to be followed by spring ,
burial in Macintosh Cemetery. She
is survived by her husband Tom,
son Ian, and daughter Marlene,
Mrs. Bruce Henry and one
granddaughter. - She is , also
survived by, her two• brothers
Wildon of Bluevale and Smith of
California. Rhoda was also a
student arthe Ripley Continuation
School ba.ck in the mid thirties.
However she was known to the
writer from her early youth as a
neighbour just a mile away. Only
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
William ("Billy") Robertson she
was born and raised on lot 21,
concession 4 in • Huron Township
and attended the Verdun Public
School on the '4th west (now the'
John Inglis workshop) before
attending R.C.S. - the school built
by her uncle, the late John
Robertson. Miss Chris Robertson
of Ripley and Bobby Robertson .of
the tenth concession are cousins.
To all the family members sym-
pathy is extended at this• time of
bereavement.

Niels Frederiksen of Malcolm
Street in Ripley arrived back at
Mahon airport last Friday evening
from a three week visit back 'to his
native Denmark. Just after the
noon hour over there he boarded
the Air Canada jet at the big airport
in Copenhagen known as the
"Gateway, to Europe" this airport
is even larger than Toronto and
features sections of rolling floors
for getting from one end to the
other and of long hallways.
Because of adverse winds and
weather the pilot made a half hour
unscheduled stop at Prestwick in
Scotland to re-fuel. With his
Canadian passport Niels was able
to leave the plane and take a short
walk on Scottish soil for the first
time. The flight was an hour and a
half late in reaching Toronto. That
was the night when Toronto had its
first heavy snowfall of this season,
so he stayed overnight with Harold
and Tena Wyld in Weston. Then,
on Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Harold'
Wyld, along with their son and
daughter-in-law, John and Karen
Wyld, and Niels, motored to
Ripley. They had a weekend visit
in Ripley returning to Toronto on
Sunday.
In Denmark Niels visited with his
brother William, wife, and daught-
er Lena on the family home farm at
Asferg, also with his sister, Mrs.
Ebba Jensen at Grenaa, with his
niece Gerda in Helsinger, and with
a friend, who visited Niels and
Nora in Canada a few years ago,
Jacob Lunde. Mr. Lunde had
recently moved' but Niels was able
to find him through the fact that
though he is now retired, he was 'a
police chief in Copenhagen. Mr.
Lunde has been in Ripley. On his
return, trip to come back from
Asferg, Niels took a train trip, from
Randers on the mainland to
Copenhagen which is on an island.
This involved a two hour ride on a
ferry boat where: the ' train coach
with its passengers is put right on,
the boat. You would never believe
but there was no snow in Denmark.
Also he had experienced the
decline in' value of the Canadian
dollar - getting less Danish money
at the.bank at the end than when he
first arrived home.
With blizzard conditions cover-
ing the area , Ripley ,School buses
along with those in ' many other
centres returned the students home
at noon hour on Thursday and
Wingham , radio station gave its
first listing Of these for this season.
On Friday morning caretaker
.Murdock McDonald, assisted, by
Richard Rock, were up on the flat
roof at the back of the Ripley High
School building shovelling off the
snow.

It 1.4as nice on Saturday to see
both. Murray McDonald and Doug
Liddle back 'up' street again.
Murray had been a patient in
Kincardine and District Hospital
in Toronto.
Also Tom Culbert of the Toronto
teaching staff visited. with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Culbert.

the effects of the flu virus making
its rounds. '
* .* • * *
All through, Friday night to early
Saturday morning men and mach-
ines worked to clear the snow from
the east side of the business section
in Ripley for Saturday's parking
and also to the new complex. It is
'time for , those snow' shovels and
snow blowett again: With' blowers
working 'were Bob Fair, Jack Scott
and down Malcolm Street Joe •
Fludder. Then there are, those with
the big plows to, clear the roads -
quite a change to a few years back
when people just kept on top of the
snow.
Visiting for the weekend with his
mother, Mrs. Norma McLennan,
was Ken MacLennan of the'
Parkdale Collegiate teaching staff,
