Off to parliament n Early Friday morning Bobby Robertson of the Tenth Concession and John Ferguson of Point Clark, both of ' Huron township, travelled to Wingham. There they joined a group and went to the Parliament Buildings in Toronto. There they met with Murray Elston and at- tended a session.

Hot, hazy, humid The weather forecasts dur- ing the early part of last wek mentioned the 3. H's - hot, hazy, and. humid. Monday June 15th, 1981 it was real hot and. humid. During ..the afternoon black thunder clouds were travelling north over Lake Huron but they did not make it over the Ripley area till after dusk. However, the humid air pro- - duced ro- -duced something never seen here before as far as known, namely the "sweating" • of the cool cement floors. At, both the High school and ,Central Public school in Ripley the hall floors were covered with a layer of water. The invisible water vapour in the warm air turn- ed to visible water as the temperature of the air drop- ped in contact with the cool floor. Caretakers Neil Mc- Callum and Kenny Mac- Donald used dry mops to take up the water. Dennie MacDonald and son Jack reported that each time they pumped a fresh fill into their tanks on the gasoline truck the outside of the tanks were just dripping water. That Monday evening the writer' was taken by surprise on seeing the lower hall floor in the rear of the high school - something never seen in all the years there.
