Celebrates 90th birthday
February 16th in Ripley was a happy day
when Miss Ethel Gawley celebrated her 90th
birthday. Relatives and friends gathered at
her home to wish her Happy Birthday. Her
nieces Marleene Greig and Gladys Johnston
acted as hostesses and Janet Nixon and
Joan Barr served the birthday cake and tea.
It was nice to see Ethel looking so well
after a spell of recovery last fall with a
broken hip. Folks also enjoyed seeing Mrs.
Stewart Needham who also looked well and
says she is enjoying the meals and activities
at Brucelea Haven. Stewart rests at lot. It
was nice to see Ethel able to receive her
friends in her own home in the village.
And celebrates 95 years
Mrs. W.J. Mackay celebrated her 95th bir-
thday on Feb. 17th. She still maintains her
own apartment at Huron Villa. Her
daughter, Marion, hopes to attend a birth-
day party on the weekend for family
members. Marion broke an arm recently.
Best wishes from all her friends to Mrs.
Mackay. Our thanks to Gladys Arnold for
this news.
Houseplant tips given
The Ripley and District Horticultural
Society met Feb. 16 at Huron Villa in Ripley.
One of the first things on the agenda was to
wish Mrs. Gertrude Mackay best wishes on
the occasion of her 95th birthday. She, in.
turn, replied most graciously.
The roll call for the meeting 'was a
houseplant tip, and 23 members answered
this, bringing forward many useful hints for
our houseplants.
Letter from M.P.P. Murray Elston was
eoly to qur questions we had asked
him of the p-roblems of the maple tree
demise, with the possibility that it be
brought up in the next House of Commons.
Following other business, the convenor for
the meeting, Adelene Hackett, called on
Evelyn Irwin who gave some interesting
13y Ab Wylds
readings.
Marion Gamble entertained with piano
music. Edith Smith then spoke on her pas-
sion for trees, especially the oak and catalpa
and how she had started them from seed.
She also spoke on aochimines, a plant that is
rarely seen these days. She handed out a few
seeds for members to try.
Adelene Hackett spoke on all the
geraniums etc., that the residents at Huron
Villa have growing for the spring garden.
The gardens are going to be as colorful and
beautiful as ever. She also gave a few tips on
forcing branches, i.e. forsythia, pussy
willow, and lilac. It turned out to be an in-
teresting and informative Horticulture
meeting for the society.
Special thanks to the ladies of the Villa for
their welcome, hospitality, and delicious
lunch.
Family was from Ripley
Ripley news is where you find it especially
on days with winter snow blowing like the
past days. Take last Sunday — there is the
Toronto Star, February 21, 1988 being
delivered at the door — we have cleaned the
blowing snow away so it can be opened and
get the paper inside. The front page has the
picture of Brian Orser in red outfit skating
on Section A. We go ahead Section B "In-
sight". The headline is BOOZE, DRUGS
AND AN URGE TO KILL. It is the name of
the writer - Marilyn Dunlop, Toronto Star
which gets our eye. She is a Feature writer
with the Star and background story (mater-
nal) is in the Ripley area.
We think that the weather is bad here.
Well this is what it was like as she writes in
the Star. - "Outside the courtroom windows
raged. Frobisher Bay, a few
mereg om the Courthouse and frozen into
high peaks, was invisible in the whiteout.
The wind howled. Mr. Justice David Mar-
shall of the Supreme Court of the Northwest
Territories had walked the half dozen blocks
from the hotel to the courtroom and he had
white circles of frost bite on each cheek."
