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.

Mrs. Elmer Avery of Toronto spent the

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.
