The people of this whole area
express the deepest sympathy to
Len and Karen Stam on the tragic
accidental death of their young
three-year-old daughter, Melissa
Ann on Tuesday of last week. The
accident occurred while they were
picking stones off the field with a
tractor and wagon as so many
people have been doing this
summer. Karen, daughter of Doug
and Marion Lackey, is well known
here having attended Ripley Scho-
ols and then served on the staff of
the Royal Bank here for several
years. Len and Karen live on the
highway east of Bervie and just
east of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Stam's farm. Before the
......—fttner al the, coffin with the.. little girl
was at the McLennan McCreath
Funeral Home in Ripley. On
Thursday afternoon the funeral
service was held in the Christian
Reformed Church in Lucknow,
followed by interment in Kincard-
ine Cemetery.
This Week In Ripley
repainting it this past week. The

a season and new pieces are
quickly tested for breakage, it
seems.

The Saturday edition of the
Hamilton Spectator, May 21,
featured ,a whole page on Saltfleet
High School, Stoney Creek. It was a
50th anniversary reunion for the
big school with about 3,000 former
students retur*g. Of special
interest to the people of Ripley was
the section labelled "Teacher".
This featured a picture of Gordon
Munn, head of the math depart-
ment, who retires this month after
31 years on the staff. Before that
Gordon, a graduate of Ripley
Schools and Western University in
London, was a Meteorologist with
the Canadian Navy in the war.
Besides heading the Math depart-
ment, Gord has coached the
football teams and drilled the
cadets. During the three decades at
the school, he has watched the
trend towards liberal education - a'
trend he feels that cheats the
medium and good student.
"I think the trend has short
changed the medium and good
students who have no more
challenges or objectives because
under the present system no one
fails". The trend, he said, will
ultimately • result in lack of job
satisfaction and wishy-washy self
discipline. In regard to Math, Gord
says "It teaches you to stick to a
task, to find ways to do it and to
state your case logically". Gordon
is pictured at the blackboard in a
"make believe lesson" in geOmet-
ry. Gordon and his wife Dorothy
plan to spend their time between
Stoney Creek and their cottage at
Bruce Beach. Congratulations and
best wishes go to Gordon on his
retirement.

Legion Auxiliary last week planted
Bob and Dorothy Duvall and
family, using their truck and chain
saw, took down and cut up the dead
Manitoba maple tree towards the
end of Malcolm Street on Monday
evening of last week. Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Duvall and family moved
into their home on William Street
in the east end of Ripley last fall.
They made a good job of the dead
tree, removing even all the
branches and brush.
