Food, Fun , Entertainment Luck Draws ADMISSION 50' - Free Parking Orange Lodge sold The Loyal Orange Lodge ( L.O.L. No1328 ) Hall at Amberely was sold by an auction sale held on the site on Saturday morning June 27, 1987. Auctioneer Allan R. Miller of Holyrood Store was in charge and with him as assistant auctioneer Bill E. Haldenby, RR 1, Holyrood. The buyer of the hall was Jack Barr of Kinlough Village (RR 1 Holyrood). It is reported that he plans to move the hall without dismantling it. The lot was not offered for sale so it stays put. Clerk for the sale was Bob McNay of the Amberley Store and treasurers were Chester Emmerton of the 2nd concession west in Huron Township and Lorne Emmerton of Ripley. The hall was renovated and was opened in 1931. The closing brings memories of it be- ing filled on special occasions. We remember the students and staff of the Ripley Continuation School (High School) going to Amberely on the last Thursday afternoon in November 1943 to have a rehearsal for our concert, then on Friday evening we went out there to put on the con- cert on Friday evening Nov. 26,. 1943.The hall was filled to the back door. There was no snow yet. The staff at the school that year was principal Walter Eifert, Miss Ruth An- drew from Toronto and Ab Wylds all with degrees. By the end of the concert the first snow storm was blowing outside. Celebrates 50th Anniversary Last Thursday Ab Wylds received a letter from Atwood containing material as copied from the Listowel Banner newspaper as follows. Mr. and Mrs. John Upper celebrated their golden (50th) wedding anniversary in Kingston recently at the home of their son and family. Mrs. Upper, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam Dahmer of Ripley, Kincardine • and Atwood and Mr. Upper son of late Mr. and Mrs. David Upper, Listowel were mar- ried May 15, 1937 at the home of the bride's parents with Rev. Maurice Oldham of Tara, friend of the bride officiating, assisted. by Rev. Bernard Buley minister of St. Albon's church, Atwood. The late Mr. and Mrs. David Upper, brother of the groom, were the attendants. Mrs. Margaret Sage of Listowel sister of the bride played the wedding music. Following their marriage they lived in Listowel for five years, then moved to At- wood where they have since resided. Mr. Upper worked for the Canadian Na- tional Railways for 35 years. They have one son John, his wife Marilyn and two grand- daughters Tracy and Sherri. They are members of Atwood Presbyterian. Church and Atwood Senior Citizens Club. Mrs. Upper is a Charter member of Bruce Chapter order of the Eastern. Star of Kincardine and Past Noble Grand of the Huron Star Rebekah Lodge, Ripley. Mr. Upper was a member of Ripley Oddfellows Lodge. Mr. and Mrs. Upper received con- gratulatory messages from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Ontario Premier David Peterson, Governor General of Canada. Jeanne Sauve, Perth M.P. Harry Brightwell and Perth M.P. Hugh Edighoffer. Ripley folks will recall when Mr. and Mrs. Upper and young Jackie lived in Ripley on Ripley street south near where postmaster Gus MacLeod, his wife Audrey, and family Donna, John and young Jimmy lived, now the home of Bob and Marilyn Johnston. Special Show at the Library A note from Judy Hawrylyshyn states that a mobile unit from the Royal Ontario Museum will be in Ripley, to -day, Wednes- day, July 15, at 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. So if you want to see and learn about tools, pottery, weapons and other articles stretching back to prehistoric man, come and see the display this afternoon and give librarian Judy a good turn out for this Ripley area. It is all free - a service by the Ontario government. Home from Alberta Holiday Doug Lackey returned from a month's holiday in Alberta. He had a pleasant visit with David, Judy, Jeff and Cindy. Besides the Sundre Rodeo he attended Jeff's gradua- tion from the Sundre High School. Hot, Hazy, Humid Weather The weather for the last week has been discribed as the 3 H's - hot, hazy and humid. Bruce County Master of the Orange Lodge Lorne Emmerton of Ripley said that the traditional 12th Parade was held last Satur- day, July 11 in Owen Sound. The route was chosen so. the marching was on the "down slant" rather than up hill in the heat. Familiar Voices on the Radio Last Thursday the noon hour program on C.K.N.X. was a very interesting one to Ab Wylds.. Two of the speakers are known to me. The first was Mrs. Wilda Widmeyer of Fergus and the second one was Bob Carbert of the Agricultural Museum. Wilda was talk- ing about her years as an umpire in ball. Bob was talking about the Pine River Cheese Factory. He mentioned it started hack in 1885 and described the modern plant and its operations Ripley folks remembered Wilda and her husband "ZAID" Widemeyer back to the playoffs with Harriston in 1945. Had to Handle Bee Swarm Early last Friday morning July 10 Mrs. Liz Large of Blake Street was at the door here. There was a swarm of bees on the dwarf apple tree in her garden. It was the first call this summer for our service and that meant hunting up the equipment for the job. No trouble in getting the bees into a hive which was left on the lawn of Don and Liz over the weekend for them to settle down. The next job is to move it to our lot over by the Dave and Phyllis Stewart place, corner of Finlay and Huron Street. Happy Heart Service July 19 The Happy Hearts Senior Citizens Church Service will be held July 19, 1987 in St. An- drews United Church in Ripley. Hoping for a good crowd. Visited in Ripley Mrs. Elmer Avery of Toronto spent the weekend with Christena Robertson in Ripley. Mrs. Marion Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Price spent the weekend with Marion Gam- ble. So the ladies being Gambles attended the Gamble picnic. Gamble's Family Picnic Held - The third annual Gamble picnic was held Sunday, July 12th at the "Green Acres" family camp grounds on the 12th concession west in Huron Township. It is owned and operated by John and Barb Gamble. Descendants came from Windsor, Essex, Chatham, Toronto, Mississauga, Kitchener, Blyth and Wingham. There were 40 descen- dants plus six visitors present. There were games conducted by Lisa Smith. And along with visiting, the afternoon was completed with a picnic supper. Wilfred Gamble caught up on his Gamble family tree. The youngest addition being Michelle Gamble who is seven months old. Thanks goes to Marion Gamble for these reports. New Top On Grain Elevator Kevin Harrison was up on the Ripley Grain Elevator this past week all by himself doing welding on the metalgrain pipes. All through the hot spell there he was working away fitting and fixing them in place. If you stand out from the elevator base a distance you can see the head or top is some 25 feet higher than before. The square metal elevator channel was fabricated in the Ripley Machine Shop by welders Ron Nicholson and Bruce Eskrick. This was raised into place by the Cana- dian Rental Cranes from Wingham and then fastened in place. This is the central elevator shaft to carry the grain from the cellar away up to the top. At the top or cap there are the slanting doivn pipes, about eight, a couple for each of the round metal storage silos to hold grain in storage. From there the grain flows by gravity into the large road trucks to be carried away. Plays Hockey All Summer Kevin Galloway, son of Harold and Shirley Galloway of the 8th con. west of Ripley, was telling me that he travels to Toronto each weekend along with another young fellow from Walkerton. They play bantam hockey in an arena in the Finch district. Hockey teams come by bus from Boston, Philadelphia and other American cities to get coaching and new skills. They go down Friday and return Monday - a real good way for these Canadians to keep up on their hockey and keep good coaching at the same time.
