A couple of other meetings held
in Ripley this past week were on
Monday. and Thursday. On
Monday, it was a farm federation
meeting with John C. MacDonald
giving /a short , radio, interview on
the meeting. Then on Thursday
afternoon the directors of the
Huron . and Kinloss Telephone

In "history digging" /this past
week a couple of items of interest to
some were uncovered concerning
two of the three Ripley hotels.
Apparently.-Edward Hodgins came'
to Ripley about 1876 and had the
Commercial Hotel built It is now
Mr. and Mrs. George MCLean's
store. Several will remember
Richard (Dick) Torrance of the
tenth concession was his chief
assistant. And the stories about
.Ed Hodgins are only outnumbered
by those told by and about the
famous Thomas Yemen Sr.
On the northwest corner at the
main intersection, Robert Morgan
had the Royal Hotel built about
1892. It is the one which burned
down Friday afternoon, October
11th last fall. Mr. Morgan offered
the commercial travellers of that
time room and full course meals at
' one dollar a day.
Visiting here for an afternoon
in the past week were Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Petettpn of Stratford and then
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer. Wylds of •
Kincardine.
Municipal system held their annual
meeting in the Huron Township
hall in Ripley.

It was nice to see Mel Pollock
home from Kincardine Hospital
last. Friday, even if it. was only a
trial test and Mel had to report in
that evening • again. In the
afternoon . Mel and. his wife Beatie
called into Ripley to see his mother
Mrs. Ernie Pollock.
Home for the week end was Miss
Sherry Pollock, student nurse in
Toronto, daughter of Wally and
Elaine Pollock. While home
Sherry, the past Ontario Dairy
Queen, visited with' family relatives
including her grandmothers Mrs,
Effie Sutherland and Mrs. Ernie
Pollock, as well as at the home farm
with her parents, Sandy, Mike and
Joanne.
The snow and wintry weather, of
the past week is beginning to shake
our faith in that old weather
proverb about Ground Hog Day.
But whenever it slackens a bit, the
spring birds are right here - horned
larks, robins; killdeers, song spar-
rows and meadow larks. Along
comes.another snow flurry and they
disappear to be replaced by a flock,
of snow Birds. One sight common
to.the springs back fifty years' ago
was the large flocks of Canada
geese. They used to land on the
deserted farms between the sixth
and eighth - the second block west
of Ripley. It was used as and
known as the Bombing Range in
the • 1940's.
Elliott Carruthers of Ripley and
his orchestra supplied the music for
the public reception dance held in
honour of Mr. and Mrs. Rick Elliott
