The shower was for Gertrude Lee Walden of °Reids Corners and the weddings were those of Kathy Irwin and Jim Paquette of Ripley, and Jim Scott of Ripley and his bride. This Jim is the eldest son of Jack and Betty Scott of Ripley. Mrs. Allan Coiling is back home after a couple of weeks in Owen Sound hospital. Marie was discharged on. Thursday of the previous week - August 31 and is able to be around again. Thanks to Marie, we have the news that Bev Smith, daughter of Charles and Edith Smith drove a week ago in a five .horse race at the Mohawk Raceway. Bev, a graduate of both Waterloo University in Waterloo and Western University in London, is employed this summer with a . Toronto daily newspaper. To our knowledge this was Bev's first race and it was a three thousand dollar race. KINCARDINE REVIEW -Copies of the Kin - car dine Review newspaper were recently brought by Allan Gamble to Mrs. Joy McLean. In looking over these which were dated May, 1890, there were sections for Amberley, Ripley, and all the places around. In the Ripley section it told about Paul D. McInnes starting the building of the store on the main corner, also a piersonal item -that Will Crawford of Hensall who had for- merly clerked for the Ripley doctor was back for a visit. He later returned to Ripley and built the store now operated by Mr. and Mrs. Carl Brennan and daughter Shelley. He was the well known W.J. Crawford responsible for many worthy projects in Ripley. Last Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. Heritage of Toronto visited Ripley's main street. Mrs. Heritage, the former Vera Crawford, is the daughter of the late Mr. ,and 'Mrs. W.J. Crawford,. and was a well-known music teacher in school, Her brother, Orah, was also well known for his ability as a solo singer and as was recently mentioned in this column was a top winner in the Bruce County Festivals held in Walkerton about 50 years ago. For the 1975 Ripley Huron Reunion Orah donated a complete set of ' Canadian provincial flags for the Legionhall, himself being a veteran of both world wars. Mr. and Mrs. Heritage were planning to call on her sister-in- law, Marie Crawford, Mrs. Adeline (Ross.) Martyn, and brothers in Ripley, Our thanks go to Mrs. Katherine (Burton) Collins for a couple of news items of recent occurrence. Mr. John Collins, son of Burton and Katherine Collins, con- cession 12, Huron township, is teaching school at Pine Lodge, two hundred miles north of Prince Albert win Saskatchewan. Pine Lodge isa. settlement located on a lake by the same name. John started his school year on Monday, August 28 - a full week ahead of Ontario schools. On the weekend of August 27 the Bell annual picnic reunion was held at the home .of Katherine and Burton Collins. This includes the descendants of William Bell and Katherine MacPhail who came from Lewis Island, Scotland. Fifty • two descendants returned this year from different places in Ontario and Michigan for the happy gathering. It is always held on the last Sunday in August. WASPS To our knowledge there has never been a year when the yellow jacket hornets or wasps were so numerous and such a menace in Western Ontario. And they will continue till the early autumn frosts kill them. They "own" all the pear trees and anyone trying to pick the fruit from these trees is an enemy and can look out for at- tacks. Mrs. Marion McCharles of `Lochalsh saw so many at their farm that they were like a swarm of bees. Also anyone drinking "pop" or any sweet liquid out in the open is . liable to suffer painful stings. Last week's Kincardine paper reported fifteen people receiving treatment in the first hour of the af- ternoon of their fair. Bill and Bob Scott of concession 4 west in Huron: township: whose poultry farms are beside each other were two happy brothers at a recent special awards night held by the Maple Lynn Foods Limited at Strathroy. Bill and Bob were each presented with a .plaque for each of their egg producing farms which had over 95 per cent Grade A eggs during the past year. Those attending the August meeting of the Ripley Agricultural Society were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Farrell, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Rutledge, Mrs. Dan A. MacDonald, Wes Smith, Bob Osborne, Morley Scott, and Cecil Sutton. Jack Farrell presided and his wife Janet was the secretary for the evening.

HAPPY HEARTS Miss Christina Robertson sends along the following report on the September meeting of the Happy Hearts Senior Citizens' Club. The Happy Hearts met last Friday in the Ripley Huron Legion hall opening with a pot luck dinner attended by 800 people. Following the dinner, a sing song was held led by Reg Moore accompanied by Mrs. Violet MacKenzie at the piano. Mrs. Mary . (Donnie) MacDonald was in charge of the program. Chairlady Mrs. Frances Elliott, of ' the Ripley Arthritic . branch in- troduced the guest speaker Mrs. Betty Janke who showed a film en- titled "What is Arthritis?" The film depicted the effects of the disease on the skeletal joints of the body. Mrs. Janke is a part time representative for 60 towns in this region and was hopeful that one day a cure will be found. The society was formed in 1938 and has come a long way in its work over the years. There are now 16 ,treatment centres in Canada. She was thanked by Mrs. Elliott Murray McDonald. Walter Collins played violin music ac- companied by Mrs. Eileen . Nesbitt at the piano. Miss Marion Munn of Toronto and Ripley conducted two contests producing fun and laughter.

U.C.W., UNIT 1 Unit One of the St. Andrew's United Church women activities were reported by Mrs. Elaine Pollock. A stewardship presentation by Mrs. Dunc Thorburn and Mrs. Bob Courtney was the highlight of Unit One meeting held at the home of Mrs. Orville Finlayson Tuesday night. Mrs. George McDonald introduced. the Pine River ladies, and their dialogue discussed loneliness, helping others, and showing that Stewardship is caring when you are needed by others: After prayer by Mrs. Don McCosh, Mrs. La Verne Riley led in a worship service.
