It was an impressive sight and
occasion for the little village of
Ripley when the "Big Blue
Machine" cavalcade came in the
fifteenth from the north and turned
west at the bank corner at fifteen
after ten last Friday morning.
Leading it were two big blue and
white buses bearing the Conserva-
tive slogan so familiar in the past
weeks - "Bill Davis - your choice.
your future", followed by several
cars and the black and white O.P.P.
cruiser. Premier Bill Davis and,
Huron Bruce candidate "Sam",
MacGregor in the June 9th Ontario
election. They started the sweep
through this area with a community
breakfast in Port Elgin followed by
a second breakfast in the new
Ripley Huron District Community
Centre Complex. The parking
space in front of the complex was
many, fa! Ics, attended
the event to meet the Premier and
the, candidate for this area. The
story was widely circulated in
Riple2, early Friday morning' that
they were coming by helicopter and
it would land , near the Ripley
Curling Rink, however this was not
the case. From here the cavalcade
travelled' to Exeter.
And now it is quiet outside on a
Sunday morning - just a few
passing cars, the sound of the St.
Andrew's chimes, a dog barking
either trying to protest or keep time
to the tune. And the sky in the west
is dark. There was a small shower
earlier. Ripley and its, immediate
area received a good shower a week
ago. This missed most places so
right here we were very fortunate.

"Maryland, my Maryland" - the
tune played in the spirit of almost a
national anthem opens each year
the running of the Preakness horse
race. We received a nice card last
week from William Robertson who
motored down to Baltimore, Mary-
land for the race. It is the seventh
city in the United States according
to population figures and has, both
an outer and inner harbour. The
big, race was a week ago last
Saturday. This past weekend Bill
motored up to Ripley from Agin-
court to visit with his brother
Bobby and other area friends. Bill
called in this Sunday morning and
left a coloured souvenir booklet or
brochure on the Hanover Shoe
Farms at Hanover, Pennsylvania
which he visited - the world's
largest farm in raising, racing
horses. The estate farm with 69
horses was bought in May, 1926 for
$150,000 to-day there are more
than 2,000, horses. Just looking_ at
the pictures in the brochure is an
experience in itself.
