struction crew. While Monday's temperature was a little less stifling, it probably felt hot
enough up there. Not a job for those with a fear of heights. (Pat Livingston photo).

Remembers his class
Writer Ab remembers the middle school
class in which Steve attended the Ripley
District High School. It was just across the
hall from my science lab on the bottom
floor. The year could have been 1963-64,
when the perturbed teacher in French
greatly disliked some of the boys. For-
tunately we recall that Steve was not among
those.
Family picnic held
Approximately 59 descendants of the late
Peter and Sarah MacTavish gathered at the
Lions Park Pavilion on July 10, 1988.
A delicious meal was enjoyed by
everyone. The Lowry family (Marion Mac-
Tavish) was in charge this year, and next
I ear's picnic will be held on the second Sun-
g in July with the Donald MacTavish's
amily in charge.

Years since straw was so short
Last Friday we took a drive out on the 10th
concession east to see how the wheat crop
was on the Dianne MacKay Farm. It is
IPLEY
by Ab Wylds,
years since the straw was so short - back to
1934 in my memory when I helped Duncan
and Katie MacLeod on the 20th Sideroad
across from the Finlayson farm. You learn-
ed to count the coppers then. On the tenth
concession Jim and Dorothy Needham and
daughter Janice had a big sign advertising
the Mandeen Farm as the place of milk and
honey. That is true. They produce both pro-
ducts there.
Janice recently back from New Zealand, a
honey place, has lovely tasting fresh sweet
honey in attractive containers for sale. Drop
in and buy one for two dollars and enjoy its
wonderful taste. The land of milk and honey.

North in Kincardine. He survived by his son
Glen and wife Anne of Con. 6 Huron,

Ernest, Gayle Lowry and husband Lynn of
Amberley. Also nine grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren. Also one sister Grace
Carruthers of Ripley. He was predeceased

brothers Donald and Gordon.

Home. on Tuesday on July 12th at 4 with in-

Cheques in the mail
The final payment under the 1987 exten-
sion to the Special Canadian Grains Pro-
gram (SCGP) is on its way to farmers.
Cheques tor the tinal payment are being
mailed to farmers across Canada. Che-
ques representing the interim payment
were mailed in February. The 1987 pro-
gram has provided $1.1 billion in
assistance to Canadian grain and oilseed
farmers.
The SCGP is helping to offset low prices
for grains and oilseeds resulting from the
subsidy war between the U.S. and the
European Community.
Final payment cheques are being sent to
all farmers who completed an application
form for the 1987 extension to SCGP.
Also, those farmers who applied to the
program for the first time, as well as
honey farmers and farmers of alfalfa for
processing, will receive full payment on
their claims in this cheque.
Final assistance rates for eligible crops
have been increased by 2.7 per cent over
the preliminary rates announced earlier
this year. The final rates were calculated
once eligible acreage claims 'had been
submitted.
