BY AB WILDS Nothing like the ladies high jump in a -track and field meet to attract attention. Pictured on the front of last Saturday's Toronto Pally Star's sport section was East Germany's Mrs. Rosemaire Ackerman clearing the bar at 6 feet 3 inches in the 13th annual indoor games at the Maple Leaf Gardens. It brings back memories of the 1935 field meet between the Lucknow and Ripley High Schools when Helen Collins of Purple Grove, now Mrs. Jerome Schmidt of Mildmay, cleared the bar something over five feet. As it was a rainy afternoon in October, the event was held in the shelter of the old. wooden Lucknow rink and everyone gathered around in a big circle to watch the girl from Ripley make a record fors this area of Western Ontario. BARN DESTROYED IN THURSDAY FIRE About a half hour before noon last Thursday morning, in the, middle of a snow storm, the ominous wailing of the fire alarm sounded in Ripley. In a few minutes both 'the fire and tanker trucks were munding the Royal Bank cornet towards Pine River and into the snow, blown by northwest winds. The barn at the farm of Arehie Stewart on the Bluevater Highway near Kincard- ine was on fire. The location is just before the railway crossing on the .east side of the road - the former Sam Farrell place. It is reported that a passing rnotbrist noted the fire and went into the house to alert 'the family. The barn, along with its contents and forty pigs, Were destroyed. The firemen kept the blaze from n nearby shed and outside machinery. It will be recalled that school buses did not run on Thursday; ploWs had been "pulled off" the roads and from Stratford north conditions were extremely bad. A car carrying firemen to the blaze had a near miss at Ray Walden's corner at the intersection of the tenth and 21 highway. On the new fire truck were Chief Ivan Cook and Bob Johnston and driving the, pumper truck were Doug Liddle and Clarence Pollock. George McLean had his car with Oraen Rock, and John Dodds was the other Ripley fireman to make it through the zero visibility storm. * * * Word received from Mrs. Angela (Donald A.).
