Leave for Chapeau • BY AB WYLDS Last Wednesday, June 30, Norm Barnard left Ripley with his car and trailer in tow accompanied by Martin and Hilda Phelan and their daughters Tracy and Becky bound for Chapeau about a four hundred mile trip. Chapeau is on Allumette bland , in the northern reaches of the Ottawa River on the Quebec side. This is a beautiful, unspoiled and un- polluted part of La Belle Pro- vhice. The scenery with its lakes and rivers, is • beautiful. The nearest large town, 12 miles south, is Pem- broke on the Ontario side of the river. Norm and Martin arrived back in Ripley on Sunday evening. Hilda and daughters are holidaying in Chapeau for two weeks. We are sorry to report that the health of Mr. Phelan Sr. is quite poor.

Jean MacDonald of the Pinecrest Manor Nursing Home in Lucknow was with her sister Noreen Mac- Donald last weekend at their home on Malcolm Street in Ripley. For more than an hour last Saturday morning nine young boys and girls and a man used the equipment and grass lawn,I In Gore Park to have some good outdoor fun. At one point he got four of the small children on one end of the teeter totter plank while he get on the other end and then proceeded to give the children the up and down ride. At the- end of the fun time all gathered around one of the picnic tables and en- joyed a treat. Then they gathered up the papers for the garbage barrel. Then Ab Wylds went across the road to the park to compliment them on the way they had used Gore Park. The man was Marshall Walker from Brampton. He, his wife, and their three children were visiting for the weekend with Doug and Shirley MacDonald on the 12th Concession east, two blocks north of Ripley. Mar- shall was looking after the children while his wife, Doug and Shirley were at the Auc- tion Sale. Now we told the young folks that we would list their names in the news. • In the group there were, four MacDonald's, three Walker's, and two Lotton's. They were Ian, Sheena, Stephanie, and Andrew Mac.' Donald; Christen, Robin, and Torin Walker of Bramp- ton; and , Gabe and • Adam Lofton, .S4 young folks keep on playing and leave things unbroken so that others can come after you and enjoy the equipment as , you did on Saturday. A large crowd attended the Auction Sale of household ef- fects, antiques, and real estate last Saturday July 3rd, for Hamilton and Annie MacKinnon of Queen Street West in Ripley opposite the Knox Presb rian Church. The sale of antiques, fur- niture, and various household items was held in the Huron Township Garage at the east end of Malcolm Street with auctioneers Grant McDonald \\ of the 2nd Concession in Huron Township and Wallace Ballagh of Teeswater and Clerk Lloyd McNeil of Lucknow. - It was a perfect summer day and the parked cars fill-. ed the grounds at the Garage and west on Blake, Christina, and Malcolm ,Streets nearby. Since almost everyone was where the ac- tion was, there were few cars up street Through the noon hour there was one car on the main street. The sale, which was reported •to have gone well, was over shortly after dinner. Then a convoy • of vehicles went from the Garage down to the home of Hamilton and Annie MacKinnon where the house and lot were offered for sale. However the bidding did not meet the reserved bid so the real estate remains unsold. Some of those helping to Move the articles to the Garage on Friday were Rod MacDonald, Doug Mac- Donald, Doug Martyn, and John C. MacDonald. • Don Barnard of Toronto was home for the holiday weekend visiting , with •his. parents Norm and Mabel Barnard on Christina Street In Ripley and attended the Saturday auction sale.
