This Week In Ripley
BY AB WYLDS.
The sound of hammering was
heard- in the north part of Ripley.
coming from two locations namely
the Ripley Grain Elevators and the
Ripley Diamond Jubilee arena.
Just recently Jim Scott of the
12th concession of Huron. two
blocks, north of Ripley on the
former Jim Brooks farm. and
Harold Courtney of Pine River and:
Ripley purchased this, elevator and
are making renovaticins to handle
the grain from the wheat fields in
the district. For this 'purpose they
have had a portable gtain drier
installed and some remodelling in
the elevator itself. 'This has
involved carpentry work, electrical
installations, and a general repair
and clean up as the plant was
unused last year. Noticed at work
on the site in addition to the two
owners were Don RoberiS'on of
Purple Grove, Allan Gamble. Glen
Huston of Pine River. Richard and
Robert Rock of Ripley.
The dismantling of the 'wooden
frame of the Ripley Diamond
'Jubilee arena was almost complet-
ed by Friday evening by Wayne
Rhody of the tenth concession east.
Mervin Arnold of Ben-ie. Steve
Fair and Grant Frook, all working.'
for. Bob Emerson of Purple Grove,
who bought the rink. These men
started at the west end and
hammered loose the connecting
wooden scantlings between the
bolted lumber arches or trusses.
Then by means of a tractor and
ropes they pulled over each arch in
turn as it was disconnected. These
timber arches sat' on concrete
blocks, which were poured on the
'spot by the Angus Murray-Angus
McLav cement workmen. This rink
was built by men from the steel
company in Preston back in
September and October in 1927.
Since Canada was celebrating 60
years of Confederation, it was
called the Ripley Diamond Jubilee
arena - the first steel.covered rink
in Western Ontario and built five
years before the Maple Leaf
Garden rink on Carlton Street in
Toronto. A year ago Bob's brother,
Dr. Jim Emerson, with a couple of
workmen, took the metal siding
and roof from the frame, sheet by
sheet. Jim is now back in his
former veterinary practice at Char-,
ing Cross. By last weekend, all that
remained standing of the Jubilee
Arena was the east or front end.
The material is being hauled to
Purple Grove where Bob plans to
use it to build a large cattle barn on
his farm, the one on which the
former Purple Grove Church once
stood.
In the weekly report last
Saturday noon broadcast by Wing-
ham radio station CKNX and sent
out from the Ontario Stock Yards in
Toronto. Leonard McInnes of the
second concession in Kinloss, just
east 'of the Huron boundary, was
named as the owner of the cow
bringing the top price for the week.
It was shipped by Ripley drover
Leonard Courtney of the Amberley
area.

The Farnell' house, long a familar
landmark on the sixth concession
west in Huron Township, is no
more. It has been taken down and
the site cleared. The present
owners of the farm, Mr. and Mrs.
Jim W. Brooks. are planning to
Also on the sixth concession
west, Richard, young son of Bill
and Nina Wyld, is back home from
Kincardine and District Hospital
and the area folks are glad to learn
this. Richard was outside the stable
door when a cow rushing out
trampled his head, almost tearing
off his ear, as well as other injuries,.
With prompt attention of the
doctors and nurses, at the, hospital
he is now on the road to recovery.
