The Ripley Bowling Club held
their annual dinner in the Ripley.
Huron Legion Hall last Saturday
evening. Ladies of the Legion
Auxiliary did the catering.
' For many racing fans last
Saturday was a, wash out as the
local television station did not
carry the yearly Kentucky Derby
-from Louisville. Instead there was
diving and . splashing from Ed-
monton's Commonwealth Pool.
The Toronto' Daily Star has a
writer, Gary Lautens, who writes
a column each day on a current
issue with some humour and
often a great deal of common
sense. Last Thursday's column
was headed by "Metric Misses by
Mile (1.6 km)". It was pertaining
to this metric nonsense which has
never been put to a public vote or
it would be put back in the science
labs where it belongs as far as
Canada is concerned. After all the
roads were surveyed in miles and
the farms in acres, and no
kilometres or hectares are going
to change that. Gary Lautens says
that he is no .friend of metric
-conversion and has no desire to
go that extra mile (1.6 km). This
writer's unanswered question is
"why has it never been put to a
public vote of the Canadians"?
Incidentally, Darryl Robinson :is
the new delivery paper boy,taking
over from the McLean sisters.
