By Ab Wyws nesday February 24th on the occasion of her 100th bir- thday which was on Monday of this week March 1st, 1M2. Twenty-two people enjoyed a luncheon at six o'clock . followed by. a *lively Programme coasting of a mock. wedding readings, and singing and later en cards. Thebirthday cake was made and ' decorated by Gordon Bloor of Kincardine. Mrs. Henry received a plaque from the Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau at Ottawa and a special letter from the Ontario Lieutenant Governor in Toronto as well as thelocal members. The lounge and hallway of Huron Villa was decorated for this special occasion Home from Metro Toronto was her son Donald and his wife Gwen and theirs two sons, Ian and Scott. Mrs. Henry is the surviving member of a family of five. Deceased are her two sisters, May and Sarah and two brothers Malcolm and Allan. The family lived on the east half of lot 26 Con- cession 7, two blocks west of Ripley. The folks of the Ripley area extend to Mrs. Henry best wishes on this happy occasion.. Flying toFlorida John and Elaine Kosmerly and son John Jr. of Kin- cardine are flying tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon •to Florida from Toronto air- port They will spend the next two weeks oii vacation at the winter home of his parents .Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kosmerly in Edgewater just south of Daytona Beach. 'John will have his Ripley hardwarestore open, again on Sat., Mar. 20. No doubt you have noticed that no politicians have said "boo" about this metric nonserne bene shoved on to the Canadian people. Needless .money has been spent, is . being spent, and. will be spent that could- be put to much better use.. We just say well we have to do what the government states to be the law. The govern- ment and its opposition that includes Joe. Clark and Ed Broadbent and their parties. as well as Pierre Trudeau and his party. .Wellit seems that in Brockville a . group has been form. ed to oppose Metrication: , in the .. marketplace, and it is calling itself "Measure Canadian". Further . that they • have hired George McKinnon aprofessional fund raiser to help them. He has, some pretty fair credentials. He says himself "after spending six years in the Second World War fighting facisin, when .it rears its, ugly head in this country 'we all have to do what we can.. It's time . people did something about it. I'm outraged. Nobody ever voted for this thing. It was done by Order -in -Council. ' I . think they're going to, back up and take:another look about. The above statement Was made by Mr. McKinnon to Bruce Ward a writer with .the Toronto Star and it ap .peaked on Page 7 in last Saturday's Star. ' Ab Wylds: who has un- derstood and usedth'emetric system in the schools and university labs dating back over 50 years now, thinks that George ,McKinnon is righton target. Furtherthe article .says that the federal government does not . intend to protest the U.;S. Ambassador Paul Robin- son's obinson's remark that the metric system is "rubbish". And in a Toronto news conference he said Canada will be, at a definite disadvantage - `if Metrication is introduced • by the end of 1983. A large part . of Canada's trade is with the U.S which is not adopting Metrication in the Marketplace. Why' did we not leave it in. the Science lobe? And .fur- ther why is its general use not put . to a vote for all Canadians? Oh, yes in the fund raising field here are three of the achievements'of George McKinnon - 4 million dollars for the Royal Ontario Museum, 8 million for the Ontario Art Gallery, and 17 .million for the Mentally Retarded. On.this same page 7 in the Star another headline states "No plans a foot for all metric land registry" *nd further the E.F.L.. Com- ' • missioner. Jake Cadaur says thatthere will be no 100 metre football fields. It is staying in yards. Jake Gadaur, as all sport fans know, is, . the "Clarence . Campbell" of Canadian football. Ab Wylds does not think that the Blue Jays and Expos will be hitting home runs by the metres either. 100th birthday ,Mrs. Belle Henry was the guest of honour at Huron Villa in Ripley last Wed - Visiting here Mrs. Helen Keller of Calgary is visiting with her parents Leslie and Dorothy Wardell.
