ESTABLISHED OVER SIXTY YEARS WALKERTON PHONE 881.0434 ONTARIO Pa8e Lucknaw Sentinel, Wednesday, May 10,1978 BY AB WYLDS 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.

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. Oh Friday evening, the Happy Hearts, Ripley's Senior Citizens, along with those in Kincardine, were treated to a free dinner in the Kincardine Community Cen- tre.
