May meeting On May 10, the Lucknow Women's In- stitute met for their monthly meeting with Ann Shields and Elizabeth Robinson hosting. President Dorothy Brown opened the meeting with a poem followed by the Open- ing Ode and the Mary Stewart Collect. The roll call was to name a flower of a province of Canada. The business portion of the meeting followed. It was decided to hold the annual picnic on June 14 in Goderich. Former in- stitute members now living in Goderich will be asked to attend. An invitation from the Whitechurch In- stitute was received inviting members to their 60th anniversary on June 8. Ann Shields was in charge of the pro- gram on agriculture. Readings were given by Mabel Whitby'and Elizabeth Robinson. The topic "Agriculture is the Backbone of the . Nation" was well presented by Ann. She discussed many interesting points about farming today and in the past. A con- test naming farm animals follwed her talk. Thelma Wodham of Montgomery Bus Lines attended and discussed the various bus trips available. It was decided to take a trip to St. Thomas in July. The meeting was closed with the Queen. Happy Hearts pot luck supper More than 50 people sat down to a boun- tiful pot luck dinner for the Happy Hearts meeting on Friday May 13 in the Ripley Legion Hall. The program followed in charge of Marg Gemmell and Rilla Hedly. Visiting from Bervie Visiting here on Sunday evening was Bill Bushell of Bervie. Bill was for a long time the baker for the Donald Blue shop in Ripley. Bill then spent several years out West. He came back last fall and lived at Bervie this past winter. Blueprints from buildings After Bill had left, Grant McDonald of Ripley was here showing the many blueprints of buildings which the former master carpenter, the late John W. Robert- son had from all those building years here and in this area. This area stretches from Ashfield in the south to Paisley, Kincardine, etc in the north. Not only did he build these but also installed heating systems in some. We feel that he would be glad to know that the building wh .ch still houses the Distriet School is still here. In the re -building of it 1949-50 his cement forms were used in,mab ing the new blocks in Wingham to match the, original ones which he had m i .e in 1914-15. At the time of the 1942 flood here, we had to lift the maple lumber floor downstairs in the sciFnce room and renail it with some matchi, ' lumber - later it was destroyed by the '48 fire. Three new Lions Club members Last Wednesday evening May 11, Ripley District Lions Club held their regular meeting and had the induction of three new members. They were Terry Hunt and Don Thompson, both of Ripley and Robert Blackwell Jr., RR 1 Ripley. Lion Charles Liddles was in charge of the induction of the new members. Assisting was Lion Ray Fuller and Lion Gerry Crooks. Spring Thankoffering The. Lucknow UCW held their spring thankoffering last Tuesday, May 10 in the fellowship room at the church. Anna Mae Hunter chaired the meeting with the theme being "Faith in Action". Lois Walden gave a paper on the Modern Commandments followed by a scripture reading by Ella Hackett. Mildred Cameron and Allice Ritchie collected the offerings. Mrs. Cayley introduced the guest speaker, Moira Gracey of Kincardine. Moira is a second year university student who visited Nicaragua in Central America with a group called Habitat for the Com- munity. This is an international training program, for ending poverty in the world. Her experience was most interesting. She showed films and explained their work and way of living. Moira is fluent in Spanish and wrote a beautiful poem about her ex- perience. She plans to return again this year. Norma Weatherhead thanked her and presented a small gift. The CGIT also presented her with gofts to take with her upon her return to Central America. A social time closed the meeting as the ladies had a chance to speak with Moira. .Grass Seed 01 s 2 g'"!,_ 5° y 8 3 3 9 Green 5 Meadow om • Ib LlqulFertilizer FerYlllaee • Ou r k lotto ,r,allrq sand All season lourpack Aa you nerd lora beautiful lawn All 'n, nn ecun(maal ' 7 7 Gonlalns 1 spring, 1 tall and t'i� and garden 1.,1!i,rn!
