The previous winter an all-star Pee Wee hockey team from the Toronto Olympic Club came to Ripley to play against the Ripley boys and at that time were billetted in area homes and had a taste of rural living. This was the return trip with the, Ripley lads the guests of the Toronto group in their homes in the city. A bus load of nine Huron Township boys was in collision with a train at . the Ripley C.N.R. crossing following a hockey game at the Ripley arena. The accident claimed three lives, with the other six suffering serious injuries. 30 YEARS AGO FEBRUARY 1947 West- Wawanosh Township rec- eived delivery of a new snowplow. The question at the moment was to find sufficient snow to give the powerful machine a good test. They hadn't long to wait. An Overnight storm caused the winter's worst storm tie-up to date. Wednesday afternoon was spring- like. The ground was bare. By Thursday morning cars were block- ed almost completely and travel was difficult for either "man or . beast". The storm was accompan- ied by thunder and lightning about 6 a.m. that morning. The" down-bound train from Kincardine became stuck midway through an 80 rod cut back of the MacKinnon farm. 50 YEARS AGO FEBRUARY 1927 H. 'Wade gave up his position at Silverwoods plant and- Harold Macintosh, assistant buttermaker took charge.

She was an entrance pupil at S. S. No. 3 Kinloss. AMBERLEY Spring is just a smile away! This rich agricultural area, a vacationland in summer, has no dull moments during winter, espec- ially around the intersection of highway 86 .and 21 and along Lake Huron shore. Following the last big snowstorm people as far away as Michigan drove up to see the snowbelt area, the cottages at the lake and to take pictures. One cottage from the roadway appeared, like a large mound of snow, with only a chimney protroding from the top and the smoke puffing. 'out the chimney just the same'.
