Riplcy fireman fight }in.cardiu. e fire
BY AB WYLD$
About one thirty last
Wednesday afternoon, July
19, the; Ripley Fire Siren
sounded strong and clear,
bringingthe firemen on the
run. First across the street
was fireman, Clarence Pol-
lock, closely followed by
Frank Zipfel from his garage,
and former chief, Gordon
Scott, from the Johnny
Dodds' plumbing shop, and
Ray Fuller in his van. The
fire was at the Andrew
Malcolm Furniture factory in
Kincardine where these writ-
ers, Fran and Ab, worked in
the summers of 1944-45. Last
Wednesday afternoon was
hot with a south wind
blowing much like Friday,
October 11, 1975, the time of
the Royal Hotel fire here.
Ripley firemen worked in two
shifts. Doug Liddle, Ray
Fuller and ,Donnie Peter-
baugh took the fire truck and
in cars for the first shift were
Clarence . Pollock, Johnny
Dodds, Harvey Pollock and
Ted Rouse. On the second
shift were chief Ivan Cook,
Bob Johnston, Roddy Mac-
Donald, John D. MacKay,
Bernie Twolen, Jack Scott,
Joe Hodgins, and Allan
Irwin with George McLean
on call at the fireball in
Ripley.

Debbie and Barbara Berk-
ers of Guelph spent a few
clays visiting with Elsie and
Ossie Forrester at their home
on Malcolm Street last week.
Brenda Emmerton of Deep
River,' daughter of -Mr. and
Mrs. Ivan Emmerton, spent
a week's holidays with her
aunt and uncle, Doris and
Oraen Rock, Robert, Richard
and Ronnie.
Don Barnard and friend of
Toronto visited recently with
his parents, Mabel and
Norman Barnard..
John Gamble, vice pres-
ident of the Ripley Agricul-
tural Society, thinks that
people of the area would be
interested enough to take a
look at the field of corn on
Murray Culbert's farm, just
east of Ripley. This field has
the marked plots of the ten
members of the Ripley 4-H
corn club. Anyone viewing
these would be better to .do
so from Murray's laneway.
This is"a new club this year
with leaders Dennis—Bridge
of the South Line and Austin
Martin, concession 4 east.
Cobs from the plots will be
on display in the complex on
September 30. Another thing
is that each plot has been
sown with. a different variety
of corn.
Well, the long dry spell
lasting over the past several
weeks was finally broken
about four in the morning
last Friday: While the sud-
den downpour only resulted
in three quarters of an inch in
:rainfall, it was certainly a
much needed help to the
field crops and gardens in
this area.
Dick Hunter of Willowdale
and Ron Ray of Don Mills,
both spending their summer
vacations at Bruce Beach,
called in Ripley. last Friday
afternoon and made a special
effort to find this writer.
They wished to express their
appreciation of this news
column which they have read
for a number of years. This
was_ a nice ,complithent, not
only to the writer, but to my
wife, Fran, who helps and
this paper which prints it.
Both Dick and Ron are 1954
graduates of Western Uni-
versity in London and with'
the writer graduating up on
the hill back in 1933, a mini
Western reunion was held
right there on the side of
Malcolm Street in Ripley -
"believe it or not".
On Wednesday evening,
Richard Rock of Ripley
reported the finding of a rare
"star nosed" ,mole at the
farm of ' Barry Johnston on
concession six where he is
employed. It is thought that
mole entered the basement
where it was found, through
an open cellar window. Since
it,lives mostly in dark, under-
ground tunnels, perhaps the
fleshy rays at the end of its
nose are feelers. '
Bright and early last
Thursday morning, the
trucks of the Huron Concrete
firm (Goderich and Seaforth)
were rolling into Ripley.
They were bringing fresh
mixed cement to the new
Huron and Kinloss Tele-
phone building and by after-
noon the workmen had a nice
thick smooth concrete floor in
the building.
Noel MacLeod of Metro
Toronto visited last weekend
with Mrs. Bette MacLeod at
her home on the fourth
concession east in Huron.
On Friday afternoon at one
p.m. the funeral service of
Charles Stephenson of De-
troit and a former native of
the 10th concession east in
Huron Township, was con-
ducted at the MacKenzie and
McCreath Funeral Home in
Ripley by Rev. Hugh Nugent
of Knox Presbyterian
• Church. Interment was in
Ripley Cemetery. Charles F.
Stephenson, husband of -the
late Lottie McComb, was
born in Huron Township on
July 13, 1895 and passed
away in Detroit on Tuesday,
July 18, 1978 with the funeral
on Friday, July 21. He is
survived by his daughter,
Mrs. Betty Paul of Detroit;
two sisters, Beatrice of New
Lovell, Ontario and Mrs.
Mabel Breckenridge of Hur-
on Villa, Ripley and two
brothers. To these the -sym-
pathy of Ripley and Huron
friends goes at this time of
bereavement.
Last Saturday the auction
sales for the household
effects of Mrs. Mae Cotton
and Mrs. Street were held at
the Huron Township Garage
at the east end of Malcolm
Street and were conducted
by auctioneer Grant McDon-
ald of the second concession
in Huron. Here for the sale
for Mrs. Cotton were her
son, Alex Cotton, of Toronto
and his son, Doug, and Mrs.
Cotton's daughter, Shirley,
and husband, Mr. and Mrs.
Reg McGrath of Hagersville.
The sale started at ten thirty
in the morning so they stayed
in Kincardine Friday evening
to come to Ripley early on
Saturday. Among those help-
ing to move things were
Roddy and Audrey MacDon-
ald of Ripley, Dan A. Mac-
Donald of the 8th and his
son, Danny, Alex and Doug
Cotton, Shirley and Reg
McGrath, Don MacTavish,
Ab Wylds and others. Don
did the clerking for the
auction while Ab Wylds was
on the registering and Aud-
rey MacDonald was the
treasurer. The lunch was
supplied by Mrs. Isabelle
(Jim) Brooks and Mrs. Evie
MacKenzie. There were
around 200 possible bidders---
coming from such places as
Teeswater, Kincardine, Tiv-
erton, Inverhuron, Bervie,
Lucknow, Wingham, Paisley,
Mildmay, Bluevale, Loch-
alsh, Goderich, Walkerton,
Brussels; Oshawa, Huron
Sands, Paris, Campbellville,
Waterloo, Elmira, Stoney -
Creek, London, Brampton,
Oakville, Agincourt, Toron-
to, Huron and Ripley. Al-
though it looked like rain
earlier in the morning,
around noon the sky cleared
and it was a good sale for
both ladies. Don MacTavish
was the treasurer for Mrs.
Street's sale.
With postmaster Don Mc -
Lay and assistant, Marion,
McTavish away last week,
Lois Irwin and Lila Tranter
were 'on the job at the Ripley
Post Office.
