Principal Floyd Stanley And
staff of teachers at the Ripley
Central School here are compiling
a list of -homes where country : )
students could. be billeted in
Ripley if the weather should make
it impossible for, the School buses
I to make their return trip. 'A surr•
vey was made recently through '
forms sent home:ewith-students
who live in the village. This in-
dicates that more accommoda-
don would be needed. • Sizi any-
one with spare room and willing
to give one or more shelter in
their borne could have- their--name----
added tO'the list by calling the
school and letting the secretary
Mrs. Hugh Mason or one of,the,
teachers know. •

Here it is half way through Jan7

a heavy blizzard could sweep the
country,„ hence the above survey
is necessary.and timely. ,

was necessary for the hydro Work-
