THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL LUCKNOW, ONTARIO WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1976 This Week In Ripley 'COWAN S. GROCERY: STORE'' LUCKNOW • BY AB WYLDS 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. o * * *• * • • 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. * * * Back home from Kincardine Hospital is Jack Blue. Ripley and area folks with' him well. *' 'at * it • • Mrs. Mary (Donnie) MacDonald of Ripley spent the Weekend in Kincardine with her son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Sandy MacDonald. ▪ * 'S * * * Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Elliott and Lea of Upsula, Mr. and Mrs.' John Angus Elliott of Kincardine, Mr. Richard.

' * .* • * * 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.
