times last week. The first time •
was last Wednesday noon when the
new barn at Premier Farms on
the Lakeshore Road south of the
dth was destroyed. Firemen saved
the former Bob McCosh barn which
was very close. This is the fart!)
of George McLean - (not Ripley's
George but rather'the noted Charo
lais man). Some of the Ripley
firemen down were John D. Mac-
Kay, John Dodds, Jack McLean,
Rod MacDonald,, Ivan Cook and
Bob Johnston. Later about two
thirty that night the whistle again
sounded when the wind whipped
up flames again. On Saturday
evening the Ripley -Huron pumper

UNIT 3 ST. ANDREW'S UCW /
The home of Mrs: Elwyn Pol-
lock was a pleasant meeting place
for the member t of Unit 3 of St.
Andrew's U.C. W. for their Sept-
ember' meeting. Mrs. Donald
Coiling opened the meeting with
devotions with Stewardship as the
theme of the evening. She was
assisted by Mrs. Ralph Elliott and,
Mrs. Murray Culbert. • Mrs.
Wayne Nixon read an article
telling of Dr. McClure's work in
North Borneo.
A program based on the
Live Love Project had been pre -
pared by X1rs. Orah Crawford and
Mrs. Wm. Arnold. Mrs. Crawford
showed where Zaire is situated in
Africa, by showing a map and
telling of the Centre established in
Kinshasa for Community Develop-
ment. Portions of a letter from
Miss Frances Walibridge who had
retired, as a teacher at the Centre
recently and is now in Quebec
Province, was read. The new
work chosen was that of Dr. and
Mrs. Allan Knight. Mrs. Craw-
ford showed their photOgraphs and
told of their background and work
in Africa for the past 30 years.
Mrs. Elmer Pollard told of the
changes in Africa these times and
of the rapid growth of Christianity
there. Everyone had a fact to
read on Africa, and its priorities
and achievements. Mrs. Rod Mac-
Donald read Dr. Allan Knight's re-
port on his work. One big project
is raising chickens. Mrs. Murray
Culbert had a clipping showing
an invention for a simple imple-
ment using parts of a bicycle made
by a, Knight. The Unit sent $25
made at a sale in June to D.
Knight to assist in his work.
Mrs. Arnold conducted the busi-
ness portion of the meeting. The
roll call was well answered with
sentence prayers. All Units will
meet together in October and all
are looking forward to the annual
Bazaar. The meeting closed ,with
prayer and lunch was served by
Mrs. Mae MacDonald and Mrs.
Lewis Hilborn.
