December 21, 1988 Turn your lights on, the judges are around I cannot believe that I am about to celebrate my second Christmas in Ripley. Where did the past year go, what happened to the spring, summer and fall. I hardly remember their passing but pass they must have. So what do I do now with all those jobs I was going to get done this year, the spare room I was going to finish, the ceiling tile in the upstairs bathroom I was going to replace, the two chimneys that were to. be rebricked and the sink drain that has run slowly ever since we moved in. There is only one solution, they will have to be done this coming year, but how I am going to manage it I don't know. After all, last year was a leap year so 1989 will pass even quicker. This being the last column to be printed before Christmas, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have con- tributed news items to be placed in the Ripley Express, Joye, Cherie, Debbie and I would like to join Ab Wylds in wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New `year. Thanks for the help A special thanks is given to Keith Pollock for all his help with the installation of the Christmas lights. Without the use of his D IPLEY By TERRY HUNT equipment and his generous donation. we would not be able to afford the purchase and installation of 10 more lights next year. ALso thanks are given to Glady Huston for her donation. Turn your lights on tonight All those families entered in the Light Up Your Village contest, don't forget to have them turned on around 8 p.m. on Dec. 21 so the judges can see your efforts. Women's Missionary The afternoon Women's Missionary Socie- ty of Knox Presbyterian Church, Ripley met at Huron Villa for their December meeting. Mrs. Hazel MacDonald was hostess. In the absence of president Mrs. Hackett, Mrs. MacDonald presided for the meeting. She opened the meeting with prayer "The Journey to Christmas" and advent worship service in the Glad tidings was followed through with Mrs.' Gladys Huston, Mrs. Hazel MacDonald and Mrs. Sadie McLeod taking part. Pianist Mrs. Nugent played the hymns, Silent Night, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and The First Noel. The Scrip- ture and meditations were read by Gladys Huston Luke Ch. 2 Verse 1-7, Sadie McLeod Luke Ch. 2 Verse 8-16 and Hazel MacDonald Matthew Ch. 2 Verse 1-12. Mrs. Nugent spoke on the symbols of Christmas. The tree - Martin Luther King is thought to have had the first Christmas tree - a thought of God's beauty. Baking - we bake at Christmas with the thought in mind of friends and relatives dropping in to bring happiness in to our homes. Santa - brings a thought of sharing and giving. Flowers - the holly with its thorns and red berries reminds us of the crown of thorns the Lord wore, and the red berries His blood that was shed for us. Mistletoe - a plant that is nourished by the tree or shrub it clings to, reminds us of the strength we receive from Christ. There are more symbols, bells, candles and tinsel, all have a thought to remind us of the real meaning of Christmas. She read different passages of the Bible pertaining to Christmas, followed with prayer. The new officers were installed by Mrs. Cameron McAuley. For the soldier who wondered why REMEMBRANCE BY JODI WEBSTER, GRADE 8, BROOKSIDE As he sighed; he wondered why He had to watch allvhis friends die. Such courage it took to stand up for all. When commanded, he answered the call. He tried his best to always defeat And hoped so much he would not be, beat. He never would stop his great victory fight, As freedom for his country, he wanted the right. He thought often of all families praying And of the great price everyone was paying.

He thought to himself, Will I be here tomorrow? Or will my death cause my mother great sorrow? Will God give me a chance to fulfill my dreams? And discard from my mind those horrible screams. Years' later as he stood at the Remem- brance Day Service, He recalled all these memories and became very nervous, Why was I spared while my many friends died? A tear trickled down from his misty blue eye. On November 11th we honour those who fought And thank them for the victory they brought. We lay a wreath beside their grave, Oh, those fighters, they were so brave.
