Everyone in this area joins with these relatives in wishing Aunt Lizzie a Happy Birthday with more to come. Mrs. Mary King of Flarriston, Mrs. Archie Miller of Gorrie, and Mrs. Jean MacDonald were visitors last week at the. home of Mrs. Frances Elliott in Ripley. Last Saturday evening at a quarter past eight the Ripley fire sirensounded loud and clear on the nice evening air calling all available firemen to the fire hall. In a few minutes the redfire engine and the pumper truck with signal lights flashing were headed north on the 15th road out of Ripley. Watching to see if they turned off at the tenth corner one could see a long line of red tail lights as the line of cars headed out past the farm of Wally and Elaine Pollock. They turned west on the 12th concession, the second corner north of Ripley: They went right across Highway 21 and on down the hill at the foot of the 12th to turn south on the Boiler Beach road a short distance then up the hill again into the Kin Bruce Subdivision. This area is located between the 12th and 10th concessions of Huron township. The fire was at the home of Paul Machan who was away at the time. Neighbours had turned in the fire call. The firemen located the fire' in the basement recreation. Here wooden studs were burning inside. the wall ` over the fire place. Firemen had to chop a hole in the wall to get at the fire. Once this was done they were able to get it out. Firemen answering the' fire whistle in Ripley were Doug Liddle, Ray Fuller, John D. MacKay, Joe Hodgins, Harvey. Pollock, • Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday,. September 19, 1979—Page 19 Johnny Dodds, Donnie Peterbaugh, Bob Johnston, Allan Irwin, Roddy MacDonald . and' George McLean. They were out about two hours and were glad to be able to save the home and that the neighbours called in time for them to do this. Our thanks to John Dodds and Doug Liddle for the information. This was the second fire call' in the past six days for , the Ripley firemen who had a fire practice between the calls. At noon on Monday of this week the fire whistle was again sounded and the fire truck headed north so make it three calls in seven days. Mrs. Wayne Nixon, Mrs..

GLADYS HUSTON Hazel MacDonald was hostess for the WMS of Knox Presbyterian Church on . Tuesday af-1. ternoon with 17 members answering the roll call by telling how God blesses us. After the .. "Call to Worship" by Adeline Hackett who was filling in for the president, the. minutes of the last. meeting were read by Gladys Huston. The reports were given by the different "secretaries and the treasurer. Donalda Gossel reported having sent a "Birthday Card" to Mrs. Gillies and Martha Maclvor and also had each, member sign a "Get Well"' card for Frances Nugent who is convalescing in London following surgery. Hazel MacDonald reminded the group the "Glad Tidings" -subscriptions of two dollars are due in Sep- tember. The, scripture from Exodus was read by' Minerva Stewart, followed. with prayer by Donalda Gossel. The topic was well given by Effie Sutherland. She spoke of how God used Moses to lead the children. of Israel from Egypt to the "Promised Land." Moses felt he was not free enough of speech to talk with Pharoah and also felt that the children of Israel woud not believe him when he would tell them he :,was being led by God. So the Lord said to hien, "Cast thy rod" upon the ground and when he did it became a serpent and he fled from it. Then the Lord said, "Put forth thy hand and take it by the tailand it became a rod again.. Furthermore the Lord said, "Put thy hand into thy bosom, and behold when he took it out it was leprous as snow." And the Lord told him to put it back in his bosom again and when he took it out it , was as his other flesh. And the Lord said if they will„_ „_riot _ believe either of hese miracles, that Moses Was to take somewater from the river and pour rt on the dry land: and behold this water, will turn to blood. But Moses still dwelt on his slowness of speech, and the Lord said, "Go and I will be with thy mouth and teach you what to say. So Aaron, Moses' brother, who was a good speaker went with Moses and the Lord was with them. So many of us feel we have no talents but everyone of God's children has some ;talent and we must use each one as we are given a chance. She also conducted a very interesting "Quiz” on the "Book of Exodus," which we were to have read during the summer. A reading by Gladys Huston "Go Ahead And Hate Me," about a young lad called "Kwan" from Hong Kong attending school in "Kearney State College" in' Nebraska, and in one of his essays he wrote "There are three kinds of teachers - those who are interestingbut stupid; those who are intelligent but boringand those who are both boring and stupid - like my English teacher" and yet after all that, the teacher talked with. him and When he wiped his eyes and handed heris hanker - 'chief she said, "at that moment for the first time she slaw Kwan did look Christlike." In I .'his apology' note to the teacher he wrote as follows: "I am truly sorry for what I have written. I meant the essay as a big teasing joke. Instead I. have jtist hurt you, the only true friend I have'. I've been rejected sooften "in my life that I've learned to protect Ynyself by hurting other people first. B\ut you wouldn't let me do it. I drew a circle to shut you out but you drew a bigger circle that took me. in. If this has something to do with your Christ, then I'd like to know more about him. The . courtesies were expressed by Mrs. Donnie MacDonald. Grace was sung ..and a delicious lunch served by the committee Hazel MacDonald, Merle Tout and Pearl MacDonald. Our next meeting will be our. "Thank -Offering and the Evening Auxiliary will be in charge of it. , y �1111111111111lIIIIIIIIIIIIINIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItllllllllllllllllflllllllllllllll{f11111111111111tIlnuuuumL HURON BRUCE P.C. F.
