This Week In Ripley
BY AB WYLDS
Bill Steer, formerly of Malcolm
Street in Ripley and for the past
couple of years now a resident in
the Pinecrest Nursing Home in
Lucknow, enjoyed an all day visit
back in Ripley last Wednesday
thanks to Mrs. Mary Fludder.
Mary brought Bill in her car about
mid morning and Joe returned him
in the evening. Bill visited with the
members of the Fludder families
and • other friends during the day
and noticed the changes in the
village.
' On Monday evening of last
week, president Jack Farrell was in
charge of the April meeting of the
Ripley Agricultural Society. At that
time final plans were made for the
annual spring dance to be held this
weekend in the complex. M-so,
John Gamble is in charge of
arrangements for a program of
music and singing to be held in the
freshly redecorated Huron Town-
ship Hall in Ripley on the first Fri-
day evening in June, namely June
3rd. The program will be staged b'y
a choir group from Kincardine. So
this weekend it is the annual dance.
Receiving mention on last Satur-
day's Wingham radio weekly radio
report from the Ontario Livestock
yards in Toronto was Glen Huston
of the Pine River area on the 8th
concession. The livestock drover,
making the shipment of Glen's
cattle, was Burton Shewflet of
Kincardine.

A Travelways bus from Kincar-
dine took a group of Ripley and
area. Senior Citizens over to
Belmore last Thursday evening for
a dinner of pancakes and maple
syrup. The annual festival was last
Saturday.

Over the weekend, Mr. and Mrs.
Allan Gardner and son Aaron of
Vanastra visited with Mr. and Mrs.
Donnie Rudder, Tammy and Jason
in their new residence just south of
the Ripley-Huron firehall.

Speaking of the fireball, the fire
siren sounded last Saturday morn-
ing and the trucks headed south.
Someone said that the location was
on the fourth concession. No report
was received from the firemen, so
it is assumed to have not been of a
serious nature.
It was nice to see Johnny Smith
able to be back in Ripley last Friday
morning after spending the past
several weeks in the hospitals at
Owen Sound and Kincardine. It will
be recalled that Johnny suffered
knee cap injury during one of those
icy spells in the middle of last
winter. He returned home on
Saturday, April 9.
Mrs. Gladys Arnold reports that
a public meeting is to be held in
Huron Township Hall, on Thursday
evening this week. The meeting is
.about the cemetery out on the sixth
concession. This is the one up on
the hill which is being eroded into
the Sixth or South Pine River. This
has been going on for fifty years or
more. Many of the graves and
tombstones have long tumbled over
the clay hill in the river. Nature,
being what it is, this will likely
continue unless the river is
channelled away from the base of
the hill. This was brought up after

the 1952 Ripley Huron Lewis
Centennial reunion. However, the
reunion committee had four stone
pillars built at the entrance of the
Ripley cemetery. Now there re-
mains two of these, the other two
having vanished in the intervening
years. Of course, that is nothing
strange, here, out on the fourth
concession, a whole cemetery
vanished. The writer always
thought that the graves were to be
revered, but what is today.
