Ripley family appreciates excellent care for daughter at Sick Kids
By Ab Wylds
Last fall John and Ghil-
saine "Jessie" Meekins and
their five daughters Wanita,
Patricia, Joanna, Diana, and
Genevieve moved into the
Hamilton and Annie
MacKinnon house which
they had just purchased in
the West end of Ripley and
which is located across from
Knox Presbyterian Church.
Altera few weeks here
they expressed their thanks
for the friendly hospitality of
their neighbours,
A month ago in mid April
their two year old daughter
Genevieve entered the
Hospital for Sick Children in
Toronto where surgery was
performed at the base of her
brain, For a couple of weeks
Mrs, Meekins stayed in
Toronto to be near her
daughter while John went to
work at the Bruce Nuclear
Plant and the four girls went
to school. It was here that
neighbours like Rev. and
Mrs. Hugh Nugent and fami-
ly of Knox, Alex and Muriel
McAuley, Marion Bolton and
others helped out looking
after the girls until John
returned from work each
day. John and Jess Meekins
express their thanks.
Also a special word goes to
the members of the Tuesday
Morning Bible Study Group.
Last Friday they had to take
their daughter back to
Toronto for removal of the
stitches and a post operative
check, They report excellent
care at the Sick Kids
Hospital which • is nice to
hear following all those
adverse reports in the past
two years,

Keep the school open
Our thanks goes to Mrs.

for writing her letter to tho
editor which was printed in
this paper last ' week,
Wednesday May 4, 1983. The
last lines of the letter were -
"Come on Bruce County
Board of Education
Members change your
minds again, and make the
right decision this time!
Keep Ripley District School
open ! " In this letter she sug-
gests scanning the records.
Ab Wylds remembers one
year at the Ripley District
High School, It was 1955 and
to complete the course
students had to write the On-
tario Departmental Ex-
aminations in June,
Their answers were marked
in July in Toronto and the
results were mailed back to
the different schools in
August, Would that this
system was still in use, The
results graded the students,
their teachers, and their
school.
Here in the 14 counties
designated as Western On-
tario three Carter Scholar-
ships were awarded in each
county on the highest
average in nine subjects. So
if a student was awarded a
Carter Scholarship that stu-
dent was tops in the county
likewise the same honour to
the school.
Well the year 1955 belong-
ed to this section of Bruce
County as far aS Carter
Scholarships The three
were awarded to students
who lived within Huron
township and Ripley and the
schools were Lucknow and
Ripley District High Schools,
Mac MacDonald of the
Fourth Concession east in
Huron Township and atten-
ding high school in Lucknow
won the Second Carter
Scholarship, Shirley Marie
Campbell of the 12th Conces-
sion west in Huron
Township, daughter of the
late Mrs, Jean (Campbell)
Farrell and Walter Farrell
