This Week In Ripley
BY AB WYLDS
About supper time last Wednes-
day afternoon the whistle of a train
was heard in this area for the first
time in several weekt. People
looking at it passing through Ripley
were a bit surprised that out in
front of the engine was a snow plow
and even more surprised tou seethat
on the snow plow was a consider-
able' amount of snow. It was a
warm sunny day with considerable
`wind - last Wednesday - the second
last day of March, 1977. But on
looking north along the railway
tracks two snow banks were noted
across the, rails in the "cut" past
the first arch at John C. MacDon-
ald's farm. However, on Wednes-
day evening, the forecast was
Kindles Donate
To Many Projects
The Lucknow and District Kinet-
tes welcomed a new Kinette,
'Cheryl Cote, at their regular
monthly meeting on March 15th.
Plans are well under way for the
annual spring fashion show to be
held on May 6th.
The Kinettes , conducted a bingo
game for the residents at Pinecrest
Manor Nursing Home on February
19th. They canvassed the town for
the Heart Fund Foundation and the
response was greatly appreciated.
Donations were made to the
International Disaster Fund to be
used in Newfoundland where areas
were badly flooded and to two
;Rangers who are going to the
International Girl Guide Camp at
Cage Breton thins coming tunimer.
Donations were also made to the
Take Time Project, a Canada wide
Kinette project providing clothing,
blankets, soap and bandages for
the young in under privileged
countries. An Easter basket is to
be made up to be presented to a
• needy, family.
Nominations were made this
month for new officers to be
followed, by elections in April.

On the weekly Wingham radio
report from the Ontario Livestock '
yards in Toronto, almost all the
local drovers in the area received
mention. Ripley shipper Leonard,
Courtney of the Amberley area was
mentioned for shipping a pair of
steers bringing. one of the week's
top prices for owner Wally Pollock,
Tomorrow, April 8th, is Good
Friday, and in this Ripley Huron
and area there will be two church
services to bring to a close the
series which started on Monday.
On Monday morning, Rev. James
Bushell of St. Andrews, Ripley,
conducted the first service in
Ashfield Presbyterian Church in
the Lochalsh area. Tomorrow the
service will be in St. Andrews
United in Ripley and conducted by
Rev. Hugh Nugent of Knox
Presbyterian Church in Ripley. The
Friday evening service has Rev.
Robert Putman of Reid's Corners
back in his home church - the Pine
River United.
On Sunday evening a flock of five
robins were noted running on the
ground north of the Ripley elevat-
or. Could they be wrong in
thinking spring is here? The
weather forecaster has just predict-
ed rather disagreeable things to
come this week including snow. It
was two years ago that winter's last
snow storm was in early April and
some of the timbers in the structure
of the complex blew down.
The executive of St. Andrew's
U.C.W. met in the church hall last
Tuesday with Mrs. Robert Osborne
in charge. Members are invited to
Lucknow on April 6th to see the
religious drama "Lo, I am with
Thee always". After considerable
discussion, it was decided to cancel
the Spring Tea and sale for the
present,due to so many conflicting
predicting snow and sure enough
by Thursday morning there was a
slight skiff which melted away.
