WEDNESDAY, JUL_Y9, 1915 THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL LUCKNOW, ONTARIO PAGE TWELVE 4his Week in Ripley The Bruce County Local Government Study BY AB WYLDS Last Wednesday, July 2, fire, breaking out in the hay, spread quickly in the barn of Howard Harrison on concession ten west in Huron Township. Ripley Fire Department was summonded but the blaze was beyond cc•ntrol. In fact, in less than a. half hour, it had spread to the tenth schtiol-house-nearby and the second fire truck was called out from Ripley. Noticed on the first run out to the firm of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison were Ray Fuller driving the tank truck and Clarence Pollock driving the new Ripley fire truck. Then, when the siren sounded for the second time, all the firemen ;wse out so Doug Martyn of jaiStligh drove the old Ripley fire truck out. By this time the blaze had spread to the school house roof. Howard had fitted the old school as his work shop. During the afternoon the three fire, trucks made several trips back to' Ripley to , refill and the firemen were able to save the home for Gwen, Howard, Sally and Kevin. Word has been received here that Rhoda Howard, daughter of. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Howard of Pointe Claire, Montreal, was recently appointed 'assistant pro- fessor of Sociology at the UniverSity of Alberta, Calgary campus, with her.duties to commence in Septem- ber. A year ago when Rhoda was in Africa, so was Dan Rose, formerly of Lochalsh, and it was noteworthy that in such a huge place as Africa they met and discovered that they both knew the Ripley-Huron area. Back in the late forties Dan played softball here while Rhoda attended 'the Ripley District High School in 1963-64. After here, Rhoda attended Niagara Falls Collegiate and was awarded a major, scholar- ship to attend McGill University in Montreal. Here she was awarded all her degrees and also took several large scholarships. Ripley area friends wish her well in Calgary. East Friday, Miss Jean 'MacDon- ald of Ripley joined the staff at the Pinecrest Nursing Home in Luck- now. Jean was employed at the Kincardine Home before it was . moved to Southampton. With nice warm sunny weather prevailing last Friday, the teachers of the Ripley School held a noon picnic in Gore Park and the children' enjoyed a play' day program under supervision on the soft green grass. This was an enjoyable end for the second week of this year's summer school. By the way, it will continue up to August •29. This is the third year it has been held. The girls who are in charge are to be complimented on their excellent work with the young girls and boys, who range from 2 to 10 years in age.

The student teachers for this year are Barbara Grubb, Julie Reeves, Debbie Peterbaugh, Debbie Beard, Kathy Moore and Cathy Creech. It was interesting to notice the attention which Donnie Fludder's motorcycle attracted on Thursday morning as it was parked on the driveway here. Especially did, it draw the attention of those driving past to work at the Bruce Nuclear Plant. Donnie and Carol went to Kitchener on Wednesday evening and brought it back. It fooks so different with its high chrome front and two wide spaced rear 'wheels. * .* * * * * The hot weather of the past week was the kind in which honeybees decide to split their colonies.

It's a place so dear to many, be- cause it is their home, And ne'er will they forget it no matter where they roam. Located near Lake Huron, for everyone there's fun, With lots of snow in winter and in summer so much sun. Pollution is unknown there - air and water so clean, In this big world such' precious things are seldom seen. So many happy faces, so many life- long friends They know that their relationships will ne'er come to an end. For some, however the time must come when they feel they have to part, But they always take that little place with them in their hearts. And so this year is special for those who've gone away ' For August first to fourth will be 'a memorable holiday. Yes, that's the big Reunion for all Old Girls and Boys, When they, will get together to share past and present joys. To all of you who read this poem, .no matter where you be, Don't forget that week end, and all - the friends you'll see. Everyone will be there, for many miles around; So don't miss the fun in Ripley at the Reunion of our town!
