Attends son's graduation at University of Guelph By Ab Wylds Two weeks ago, on Thursday afternoon, June 2, 1983, Mrs. Mildred (Clarence) Wylds of Ripley attended a graduation ceremony at the University of Guelph where her son Bar- rie of Toronto received his Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Honour Political Science and Economics. With the first perfect day of nice summer weather to date the convocation ceremony was held on the lovely spacious college cam- pus there. This outdoor set- ting permitted an impr- essive parade of professors and graduates from the nearby War Memorial Hall to the lawn. In attendance were his wife Clare and their three year old son Shawn. Mildred motored to Guelph and after the graduation was over Barrie, Clare and Shawn returned with her to their home in Toronto for a visit and then back to Ripley. Over the past ten years this was the third university graduation for Barrie. The first one was for his B.A. from the University of Guelph 1973; and the second one for his C.G.A. (Chartered General Accoun- tant) from Toronto Universi- ty 1979. From Grade 13 at Ripley District High School in 1970 with high marks Barrie was able to register for the spr- ing semester at Guelph and hence shorten his intramural stay there. A few years ago when he was living here he was the trustee for the Ripley Huron area on the Bruce County Board of Education and in his last year he was chairman of its finance committee. He is employed in the bonds divi- sion of the well known finance firm McLeod, Young, and Weir in Toronto. He earned the credits for his M.A. by extra mural work. Last week crop spraying was the main activity on farms in this area. During the early morning hours on the few times when showers and winds permit- ted the plane was heard working north east of Ripley. From its direction of travel back and forth it was likely using the landing strip on the farm of Bill Wyld, Conces- sion 6 West. Lynn Courtney of Concession 10 west in Huron Township was one of several noticed with tractor drawn sprayers. Firefighting practice The Ripley Fire Depart- ment met on Tuesday even- ing last week at the fire hall then came to the concrete underground water cistern in Gore Park across the street here for practice. bast Tuesday was June 7 so the next practice will be two weeks or 14 days ahead which will make it June 21 at 7:30 p.m. So when the fire siren sounds twice it is the signal for practice. Last Tuesday was something of a special ses- sion. Firemen were practis- ing with the renovated 1947 fire truck instead of the new truck. Working with the truck were these firemen - Chief Ivan Cook, Bob Johnston, Ray Fuller, Joe Hodgins and George McLean.
