What a storm it was that swept over the district last Friday evening at midnight. The lightning flashes filled the sky and loud roars of thunder for such a few rain drops. Fortunately, no place in the Ripley area was reported struck with one of those lightning flashes. However there was a near miss down the fourth concession of Huron -Town- ship, about a mile east of Reid's Corners on the north side of the road. Here lightning struck some bales in the hay field not far from the barn on the farm of Mr-. and Mrs. Jerry TeRaa. They live on the former Fraser farm' just west of Deb Wilson's place. Mrs. TeRaa, who was looking out, thought a fire was starting on the next concession north, namely the 6th, but then she realized it was in their hay field not far from the barn nor from the tractor' standing in the field. Jerry went out to the ,tractor and it apparently was alright. In a half hour the storm had moved on towards the east and was gone. Mrs. James Chapman. A business meeting followed at which time the following officers were appointed for 1978, president, Harvey Ritchie; 1st vice, James Chapman; 2nd vice, Donald Cam- eron; treasurer north, Alex And- rew; treasurer south, Mel Webster; secretary, Jessie Kirkland. The group was in favour of changing the picnic to the second Sunday in June another year, when it will be in charge of the northern branch of the family. All enjoyed the special events of the afternoon as well as bag pipe music and drumming by Mac Webster of Kincardine and Watson Webster of Clinton. Hope to see everyone at the annual get-to-geth- er next year. Recently, Rev. Jim Bushell conducted a most impressive service in St. Andrew's United Church in which the following young folk • joined as members. They were Ppi- Culbert, Richard Irwin, Douglas Peterbaugh, Donald Harris, Jeffrey MacTavish, Joanne Pollock, Brent Coiling, Larry Nix- on, Bradley Nixon, Elaine MacTav- ish, Corinne Boyle, Linda MacDon- ald, Mary Anne Coiling, Darlene Nixon, Kathryn' Forster, Keith Pollock, Michael Pollock, Gail MacDonald, Carolyn MacTavish, Carol Ann Pollard, Lorraine Smith, Debra Lynne Fuller, Susan Cook; Joan Osborne, Peggy Elliott, Joyce Osborne and Helen Culbert, for a total of 27. Last, Thursday was like the first of May in that it was moving day, or at least the morning was a "moving out" time. First at seven-thirty, the white mobile trailer which has sat on the boulevard near the main corner was on' its way south from Ripley back to the yard in Cooksville. It has served as office headquarters for Frank Gulycz of Toronto who has been supervisor of the building of the new Royal Bank. The bank has beep built by Edland Building Systems firm' of Grimsby. One of the first to use' the mobile for headquarters was Steve Hill'of St. Catharines working for Penn-Mac of Grimsby who had sub contracted the wall footings, , and other, concrete work. Since that early April start there has been a number of sub contractors, each doing their special part. Getting back to last Thursday the next to move out was Martin Phelan, who is spending this week on holidays back home. He has their trailer camper hitched behind his car and with Mrs. Phelan and their two children they left about nine in the morning for the long trip to Chapeau on Allumette Island in the Ottawa River. Just before ten, a Bruce Lines bus headed north out of Ripley loaded with senior citizens bound for a day's outing at the Thirty Thousand Islands, out from Mid- land in Georgian Bay. They returned home that same evening after the day's tour. On Sunday evening the Ripley fire siren sounded calling the firemen to action. As soon as they got out the truck and pumper from the firehall, they headed south on the fifteenth. Fire from the Ripley Dump, located back in Ernie Coiling 's farm, had spread to adjacent grass land. Visiting with Jack and Evelyn Johnson in Ripley on Sunday were Mr. an.d Mrs. Gord Harris and family of Kincardine.
