TO 6 P.M. This Week In Ripley BY AB WYLDS Last Saturday morning, away up in the bright blue sunny sky, there appeared three large birds circling over the west edge of Ripley and the adjacent farms of Elwyn Pollock and John C. MacDonald. With their snowy white heads and dark bodies they presented a magnifi- cent sight. At times they could be heard communicating among theM- selves. After a stay of ten minutes they flew straight in a south west direction back over Lake Huron. According to the coloured pictures of bitds they were American bald eagles. Rumour has it that this eagle only flies over Canada to defeeate on it but this is unlikely. Rather they must have been forced eastward over here by airplanes heard carrying out manoeuvers in the west over the lake. The • channelling or otherwise diverting the South Pine River from the base of the clay hill at the cemetery on the 6th Was presented at the recent public meeting. Also three different people informed the writer that there is a right of way back to the cemetery. Such can exist but it was never used in the writer's years. The best way back was the one through the MacKay farm and it was built when the Scott brothers (Frank and Joe) owned both these farms. The May meeting of the Ripley Agricultural Society was held on Monday evening of last week with president Jack Farrell of the 12th concession in charge. After the routine business was handled, a couple of events soon to be *held were discussed. These were the concert to be held in the Huron Township hall on Friday, June 3, with the Kincardine Community singers. John and Barbara Gamble have been in charge of making this evening of singing available to the people of this area. Then the second thing was the annual spring meeting of District Ten of the Ontario Agricultural Societies. It is in Tara on June 8th.
