LAST NIGHT THURS. AUG. 17th
Ripley community news
BY AB WYLDS
The Summer Playground
carnival staged by the boys
and girls under the supervi-
sion of their leaders, Barb
Grubb, Marilyn Stewart and
Anne Farrell, was rained out
last Wednesday, the date
originally scheduled but was
held on Thursday, August 10
in Gord Park under bright
sunny skies and summery
conditions. The children
were most eager in their
co-operation in building and
setting up their different
booths. They built those the
week before and stored them
away in a nearby garage. The
leaders placed the proceeds
over sixty dollars. It seems
each day now that they have
another event. On Friday
afternoon they had a ball
game down in the Memorial
Ball Park with their mothers
as the opposing team. This
week leaders Barb, Marilyn,
and Anne have a chicken
dinner on the plans.
Recently Norman Schmidt
of Walkerton judged the field
crop competitions in mixed
grain and oats, sponsored by
the Ripley Agricultural Soci-
ety in co-operation with the
Ministry in Toronto.

The news of Paul Wald-
en's untimely accidental
death last Friday has shock-
ed the entire community.
Paul was electrocuted while
working on hydro lines in the
Neustadt area. The funeral
was held on Monday after-
noon at the MacKenzie and
McCreath Funeral Home in
Ripley. In his 28th year, Paul
leaves to mourn his passing,
his wife and two young sons,
Jason and Jeff, at their home
in Walkerton. And here at
Pine River he leaves his
parents, Leroy and 'Mary
Walden and brother Jamie.
Not so many years ago he
attended Ripley District High
School where he was a
likeable boy, always eager to
help.. Everyone here feels a
deep inner sadness on this
occasion. Only a few short
years back his older brother,
Johnny, passed away due to
a traffic accident. It is
unbelievable that such trag-
edy should fall on a family.
Sympathy goes to Mr. and
Mrs. Norman Schmidt of
Walkerton on the sudden
passing of their grandson,..
Barry Fischer, this past
weekend.
In this column on July 26
there was a news item on
Richard Hunter of Willow -
dale and Ron, Ray of Don
Mills making a special trip
into Ripley to express their
appreciation of this column.
At that time they and their
families were at Bruce
Beach. Well the next week
Ron Ray was driving home
when he became very ill,
motoring down Highway 86
near Listowel. He got to
Listowel Hospital with "an
apparent heart attack" but
found it to be a bad case of
pleurisy pneumonia. Then he
was transferred to North
York Hospital nearer home
for treatment. While in
hospital his wife Cathy
brought him a copy of the
paper. Word was recently
received from his friend Dick
Hunter and it is hoped that
by this time that Ron is on
the road to recovery. Dick
and Ron, both graduates of
Western University, are two
friends to this rural area from
Metro Toronto.
Well this past week was a
hard week on news writers in
this area. On Tuesday,
August. 8, Mrs. June Elliott
of concession 10 east in
Huron, -who wrote last
week's Purple Grove news,
entered St. Joseph's Hos-
pital, London. Then on
Thursday, my wife, Fran,
who helps with this column,
also entered St. Joe's. So the
column may be shortened for
a while.
On Friday evening, Aug-
ust 4, Miss Kerry Hodgins,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Nelson Hodgins of Ripley
and Mr. Wallace Houston,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey'
Houston of Lucknow and
formerly of Holyrood, were
married. The . marriage cere-
mony was held in . St. Peter's
Anglican Church, Lucknow,
with the minister of the
church, Rev. Garratt, off ci-
ating. Last week's Sentinel
