With the price of waste paper at two 'dollars a ton, and the transportation cost to the recycle plants in Toronto about seven dollars perton, the Scouts collected and disposed of it as a• community service since there, was no ade- quate storage available. However, the bottles were ,redeemable. Wing the work were ten Scouts, Doug Peterbaugh, Bradley and Larry Nixon, Kirk Nicholson, Robbie Farrell, Charles• Dadson (who lives over the former J. R. White Store), Eoin MacKay, Ross Stewart, Otto Linde, Jeff Stanley, along' with their leader Donnie Rudder. They had use of Lloyd Wyld's panel truck for the drive. The boys were treated to a barbecue lunch of hot dogs and cold drinks by Donnie on his front lawn. Last Thursday a four way stop system for traffic was installed at the Royal. Bank corner - the intersection of the 15th and 8th in Ripley. Two new stop signs were installed on the fifteenth - one at the corner: where once the 'Royal Hotel stood - the second over by. the Antique shop (Munn-McInnes store) and also broad, white bands were painted on the pavements indicating the exact stopping points. This four way stop business is going to take a while to get accustomed to doing. It seems hard for some people to remember and for others to see - so in the meantime everyone should be extra careful when approaching the bank corner in Ripley. Also "warning" signs were erected back 750 feet from the' corner on each of the four roads leading to the intersection. The work was "completed last Thursday afternoon by the Bruce County Highway workmen - fore- man Max Bushell of Lucknow, Delbert Holley and Don Gillespie of Kinlough, George Carter of Holyrood and Tom Nicholson of Belfast. 4 The village of Ripley has a new village foreman taking over from Ambrose Gamble who has been at "The Point" for the past month.

These had been stored 'in the Huron Township shed (south campus) or the old fall fair haft.

In-it he---asked!Did..anyone ask you if you wanted it?" and then brought out the idea of the mouthy minority pushing their ideas over on the silent majority. We understand that he is a secondary school teacher and likely /as such understands the metric syStem but questions its need in the field of everyday living in Canada. * * * * * Purple Grove Institute Secret • Sisters Banquet Purple Grove Women's Institute members met for their annual .
