Listening ,to the late CKNX tele-
cast news last Tuesday evening ,
'Ripley area folks were shocked to
learn of the sudden and tragic pas-
sing of Mrs. Elmer Morgan of •
Listowel. Funeral services were,
held in Listowel last Friday after-
noon followed by interment in
Ripley Cemetery. 'Etta was 58
years of age , daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Taylor. Sin-
cere sympathy is extended to El-
mer, their daughter Betty of
Metro Toronto, and to her sister
Annie, Mrs. Don Mason of Kincar-
dine, and to all family relatiVes.
Several Ripley area folks expressed
their kind sympathy by going to
Listowel and also by attending the'
graveside service in Ripley last
Friday afternoon.
. Congratulations go to Miss Mary
Pace, who was the lucky-winner
of a dinner for two at Listowel last
Wednesday.. Mary correctly an-
swered 'a phone call from CKNX
by giving their noon dinner menu
instead of the usual "hello".

Early last Wednesday morning
Ripley' sounded like a very
busy place. Added. to the usual
traffic sounds of cars going to

rolling of the big Schnurr trucks of
Hepworth back gravelling the con-
cession roads in Huron Township.
This year the Schnurr workmen
have their' big camping and liv-
ing trailer set up just south of the
new Huron Township Municipal
Building in the northeast corner
of Ripley.
