four young folks about 7 or 8 years perhaps

plates when we drove home here. Seeing
that we were watching they got down and.
Went to the teeter totters. This brings to
mine my grandmother's saying, namely
"The Devil makes work.for idle hands". So
she always saw that mine were not idle out
on the Sixth concession fami.

Corn cob sheller displayed
On a nice evening a week or so ago, two•
neighbour ladies Mrs. Clara Shiells and
Mrs: Gladys Arnold from the west end of
Ripley took a walk up street. They had been
looking at the antiques in Albert Verheye's
window. One painted, all shiny black with
gold lettering got their attention. They were
wondering what it was used for. .
It was mounted on a wooden plank which ,
in turn was held up at each end by a pair of
wooden legs at each end. At one end of the
bench was a metal plate with a crank handle
which could be Seen but nothing else. Ab
Wylds was headed for the George McLean
alleyway to the post office. The ladies asked
me about it and I went back for a close look
it. ••
• My guess was that it was a mounting for a
„small grindstone with the stone missing,
Last Thursday morning we went into the
store to ask Albert Verheye and he said that'
it was a 'corn cob sheller but he had no cobs
and had never seen it wdrking. Ab Wylds
comes home here and `gets two cobs from
those which Jerry Huber brought in last fall
from cleaning out his combine. Albert
Verheye sticks o'ne of the cobs into the
device at the back of the plate and gives the'
handle a few turns and there is the cob all
shelled.
Albert had the machine all painted black
except the raised lettering on the front of the
circular plate. They were done in gold paint
and read "J.P. Smith, June 22, 1869"
103 year old visitor
Albert Verheye had a registration book at
his _store. People going through the store
wrote down their name, age and address. He
isquite pleased with one entry - actually two
people - Marion fluff 80 years and she
