Jim Farrell 80, and Lynn Courtney 79.- Br- ing a plastic bag to the fair. Watched for meteorites Last Tuesday Aug, 12 it was announced with frequent repeats on the radio that if we just went outside between 9 .and 10 pan., we would see a shower of meteorites hi the north west sky. Something like 40 to 50 of these shooting starts., could easily be seen per hour. However this astronomical display did not happen. So we had our first good look at the night sky in years the Big Dipper and the North Star and the others. It was a nice calm cool evening. In Ripley here the true north direction is towards Kincardine rather than 15th road. We will likely keep on feeling that north is •out the 15th even if we know better. Shipped top priced Battle In the weekly report from the Ontario Livestock Yards in Toronto last Friday evening local drovers Allan Coning of Ripley and Burton Shewfelt of Kincardine were named for shipping top priced cattle during last week. New arcade opened up Ripley's Arcade recently opened • next door to the Lynn Nicholson Grocery Store (Superior Market). It has games for young folks. In the big front window there is a display ,of finely finished wooden furniture. Above the shop there are living .quarters.

Ripley folks are glad to see au. those empty_ shops along the business block once more occupied, You should shop locally Mrs. Lynn Nicholson of the Ripley Superior Market puts out a one page sheet listing the . specials for the week in her. grocery. At the- bottom of the last week _sheet, .August 12 to 16, in the right hand cor- ner in small print under "Shop Locally" she has a piece which we feel could apply to all local stores in this area *: Tiverton, Kincar- dine, Ripley and Lucknow. ° Ab Wylds can not word it the way Lynn put it but we think it worth reading. So we have copied it - "Remember : your money buys more when you shop at a local store: It's good for you, good for us, good for the, community." She also`says' "you're morel than just a customer, you're a good friend and neighbour". Now that you have read it - think about its general application in the` above area, Not only does it work for shopp- ing but also to other trades In a nutshell you scratch my back and I will scratch your back and we will all feel better. Dozens of butterflies On this sunny .Sunday afternoon here a look out the back door at the open space made up of the rear, lawns of the Royal Rank and our own, place, the Cecil . Sutton Machinery display lot and on. to the railway land to the north shows just dozens of those butterflies. White 'Cabbage butterflies are flitting here and there on a search for food and fun. The food for these adults is the nectar in any blossoms or flowers.
