Rain doesn't stop volunteers Last Saturday morning just before eight, a short thunderstorm appeared over Ripley. Rain fell here for five minutes. Then it went away leaving the surrounding area without any. From there on the day saw volunteer groups doing jobs planned for the day like the Ripley Lions Club levelling the ground along the new concrete walk in Gore Park and the Ripley and Huron Legion working on the Legion Hall roof and other things. Sandy Mac Charles of Point Clark was the carpenter in charge. Two others were Don McLay and Len Stilling. On Friday after- noon Len drilled the compacted sand in the box at the north corner of Gore Park and fresh sand was added. On Saturday evening the heavy thunderstorm came up from the south and poured the much needed rain. Record number of field crop competitions Gordon Patterson, head of the grain com- mittee in charge of the grain show at the Ripley Fall Fair, would like the farmers in this area to know that the Ripley Agricultural Society in co-operation with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture are sponsor- ing a record number (12) of field crop com- petitions this year. They are as follows - Three in wheat - soft white, and hard red -both fall and one hard spring wheat._ Two in hay - newly seeded (last year) and established hay fields. Then one competition for barley fields, one for fields of oats, one for mixed grain, one for flax, one for soybeans, and two for corn grain and ensilage. Perhaps you would like to enter this large grain show. The committee would like to have you enter and get prizes in the biggest grain show this side of the Royal Winter Fair. So list your crops on a sheet of paper and get the list to Gord. His committee is 'Bob Scott, Ab Wy)ds, Keith van der Hoek, Bob Rutledge, Gary Courtney, Rick Smith, Ron Brooks, and Morley Scott. Hot dog stand open at bank There was activity at the corner next door here last Wednesday morning, May 27. The RipleyRoyal Bank staff with manager Mrs. Lillian Abbott in charge, had a successful hot dog barbecue stand with the proceeds for the Children's Hospital in London. It was a part of an overall venture by the Royal. Folks here enjoyed the outdoor setting - the shade of the red maples on the east side front lawn and the seats at a couple of picnic tables, the coloured balloons - all in all a pleasant way to contribute to a good cause. On Wednesday with Lillian were Ripley staff members Marj MacTavish, Laurie Gallant, and Marilyn Freer. They feel that they were well supported and say thanks to those who helped with the extra chores. New cement walk laid During the past couple of weekends the ce- ment walk into the picnic shelter in Gore Park has been laid. It gives the building a more completed look. Congratulations go to Ray Fuller of Ripley who was the master builder in charge. On the job were John D. MacKay, Wally Pollock, Doug Coultes, Charles Liddle, and with the tractor and front end bucket, Dar- ryl MacKay. The last job was levelling and countouring the soil along the sides of the walk using the tractor blade and shovels. Just finished in time for the big Saturday night early Sun- day morning thunder shower. So that everything is smooth and in place. Bill Kempton of Point Clark-Amberley with his digging machine, loader, and truck did work as needed. • Thanks goes to the Ripley and District Lions Club and also to Ripley caretaker Don Peterbaugh and his assistant Betty McLean for the nice appearance of Gore Park.
