WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1977 THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO PAGE ELEVEN
BY AB WYLDS
On Tuesday evening of last
week, July 19, the first grain
wagons loaded with the newly
harvested fall wheat arrived at the
Ripley Elevator and with the good
hot sunshine of the past week they
have been coming in a steady flow
ever since. Elliott Courtney and his
mechanic Doug Liddle have been
busy getting new grain boxes and
wagons out to farmers needing
them. A tractor generally hauls two
loaded wagons. Among the drivers
is Miss Dianne MacKay, home for
the summer from the University of
Guelph. Dianne hauls the grain
from her father's (Donald MacKay)
big combine as it cuts and threshes
the grain in the fields of his farms
along the tenth of Huron. Opera-
tors of the Ripley Elevators, Jim
Scott and Harold Courtney and
their assistants have been busy.
Workmen from London last
Wednesday installed two large new
signs on the Royal Bank building -
one over the main entrance and the
other at the southeast corner. The
• connecting hydro lines were instal-
led by Rod MacDonald and other
workmen of the Pollock Electric
firm some time ago. In these signs
the name "Royal Bank" is in a gold
colour on a blue blackground.

Last Tuesday Mrs:, Carol Mud-
der, accompanied by Mrs. Evelyn
Johnson, went to Hanover where
she picked up Kevin Morrison. of
Melbourne. Kevin is spending two
weeks with Donnie and Carol
Rudder,. Tammy and Jason and
visiting with the Rudder families
here.
Well Ripley has -its first lady
soldier since the days of the Second
World War. She is Priscilla Zipfel,
eldest daughter of Frank and Rita
Zipfel. To-day, Wednesday, July
27, Priscilla is on her long trip to
Cornwallis in Nova Scotia where
she will take her basic drill course.
The trip involves a few changes
getting there. The first part is
Ripley to Kitchener, then to
Toronto, next to Belleville, a short
trip to Trenton and then by
R.C.A.F. plane to Halifax and
finally to Cornwallisaround the bay
- so many miles away from little
Ripley. "My name in the paper - in
no way", so said Priscilla. In the
writer's time of taking basic drill in
the old London Armoury on Dundas
Street over a period of two years,
there was an old song for marching
- "You are in the army now, you'll
never get rich etc.". Ripley folks
will miss Priscilla filling gas tanks
at her father's garage and in sports ,
but they wish. Priscilla well in her
chosen career.
On Thursday and. Friday of last
week, Jim Elliott of Bethel and his
fence'building crew of Bill Keyes of
Kincardine, Mel Arnold of Ripley
and Newfoundland, Don and Jim
Simpson of Lochalsh installed a
nice green fox link wooven wire
fence around the back lawn of the
new Royal Bank. The fence is
supported with steel posts set in
concrete and topped with steel
piping. It gives the lawn a nice
appearance' and with the' grass
green from village foreman Don
Peterbaugh watering and cutting,
it is a replica of God's Little Acre
down in United States.
Upcoming this weekend are
three annual events. They are the
Huron and Bruce Arts and Crafts
Festivh1 on Friday and Saturday
with Marion and Oliver McCharles
and their committee in charge.
Then there is the book sale with
president Mrs. Barbara Paquette
and members of the Ripley Huron
Legion Auxiliary in charge. On
Sunday afternoon and evening it is
the Ripley and District Lions
annual beef barbecue. So the
Ripley Huron Recreation Complex
Centre will be a beehive of activity
next weekend and caretaker Mrs.
Helen Grubb will be busy. Also
Saturday night through Sunday will
be a long lonely time for such
people as Bob Love, Sam Malhotra,
Gerry Crooks and Reuben Burnett
who tend the roasting ovens.
On Monday of last week the
