Club leader Robert Osborne received the date from the Walkerton office recently which is a change for the one previously announced. Two blocks south of Ripley on the 15th road then one block west is the bare country crossroads corner of the twentieth sideroad with the fourth concession of Huron township. Yet twice. within the last three months events happening on farms at this corner received newspaper mention. The events happened years ago and years apart - 25 years apart. One was happy and the other sad: In July of this year, the one mentioned that caught this writer's attention was the fall of Dave Campbell from a load of hay in the front field of the farm on the southeast corner. Among the few there to help were neigh- bour Mervyn Hooey now of Ripley and the writer. Dave Campbell suffered a broken back and lived for six days at home. The attending doctor was the late Dr. D. R. Finlayson of Lochalsh and Ripley. o halsh The second . event happening there was a happy one on the farm -on the northeast part of the corner. In last week's paper it stated that "The Huron and Kinloss Plowmen's. '.Association will be held on the farm of W. 'E. Glass, lot 21, concession 4, Huron on Wednesday, November 4 when a large number of prizes will be awarded." This would be back in 1903. What a sight this would be today to see all those horse teams hit- ched to walking plows going back and forth in a field. Back then there were no -tractors and no trucks to transport the horses.
