Ripley folks are glad to
learn that Dawson Pollock
who was severely injured ,, in
that DC9 plane crash at
Malton airport a couple of
weeks ago has recovered to
the point where he has been
able to leave the hospital and
return to ° his home in
Brampton.
Visiting with Mr: and Mrs.
E. O. Forrester at their home
on Malcolm Street in. Ripley
for a few days last week was
his sister Mrs. Wilda Goessel
of .Kincardine.
Earl:. ---Tuesday morning
last week it, was quite chilly
outside till the sun warmed
up the air. Asa restilti large
purplish black fly was notic
ed by Mr. Wm. R. Carson on
the outside of the door of his
house. Mr. and Mrs. Carson
live just east of Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart Needham's home on
Tain, Street, and Bill is the
manager at the Ripley Royal
Bank. Bill captured the fly
alive in a glass jar and
brought it down to the bank.
Here one of the ladies on the
staff, Mrs. Bev Hodgins,
announced that it was "the
father of all horse flies" and
that is exactly , what it was,
namely a horse fly. This is
the second one seen in the
past three weeks. For some
time a person might not see
one in three years. Perhaps
the increase in saddle and
racing horses in the area is
bringing an increase in these
big black biting flies.
A former reeve of Huron
Township, Wm. R. Lowry, is
a patient in. Kincardine and
District Hospital. Ripley and
area folks wish Billy Bob
recovery and return to his
home on the tenth west in
