They started work around
five thirty in the morning
which caused some to think
that perhaps the fire had
started again.
The last job they did was to
paint the riame "THOMP-
SON'S" in two foot red let-
ters on the white south roof,
so it is now clearly visible
from the four-way stop in-
tersection so truckers new to
the area can see the location
of the mill. Bob Thompson
plans further exterior
renovations in the coming
year.

New Grain Bins
At the Ripley (rain
Elevator Jim Scott had two
more circular metal grain
bins installed last week.
They were put together
working at the ground level
and then hoisted by a big lif-
ting crane from Wingham
last week. These make four
in a row all up on a heavy
steel beam frame so that the
trucks can drive underneath
for loading of grain to be
shipped. Each circular bin
or silo has a 2600 bushel
capacity. Counting a small
one over the gangway, this
makes a total overhead
capacity of 10,900 bushels
along with the four concrete
silos each at 5,000 capacity,
this makes the total capacity
at 30,900 bushels. Men work-
ing this past week with Jim
Scott were Bill Wyld, Wayne
Kerr, welder Spike Baker,
Morley Kirsten, Ralph
Grubb, Bill Mewhinney,
John Thompson, Robert
Storey and Ron McGuire.
Everything is ready now for
the coming harvest of fall
wheat.

Canada Geese Here
Ripley folks report a flock
of 31 large Canada geese
Saturday morning in front of
their Bruce Beach cottage.
They were almost tame
enough to take food from the
hand. They sound like the
Maxima Canada wild geese
seen at Sunnyside along the
Lakeshore Highway and on
Toronto Island. Also Calvin
McConnell at Armow has a
flock.
Mrs. Rita Zipfel called to
say that she had received
word from her husband
Frank in Germany that his
mother had died last
Thursday in the hospital in
Worms near Frankfurt. The
funeral was Monday, July
25, in her hometown, Flor-
sheim, and burial was in the
cemetery there. Frank ex-
pects to fly home next week,
August 2. Ripley folks ex-
tend sympathy at this time
of bereavement.
