With weeds like these
in your corn,
where do you start?
Start with the labeled Lasso® herbicide tank mix that
t
fits yOur weed and carryover problems in corn...
Lasso plus atrazine for broad-
spectrum control in corn.
Preemergence Lasso plus atrazine
tank mix controls major grasses
like crabgrasses, yellow and green
foxtails, and more. Carryover
possibility is minimized because
Lasso alone doesn't carryover and
you'll use less atrazine in the
tank mix.
Lasso plus Bladex, for specific
weed control with no carryover.
This preemergence tank mix also
controls many labeled weeds
including crabgrasseq, yellow and
green foxtails. And it is ideal for
the farmer who is co,ncerned about
rotation because it gives gOod
weed control performance with
no carryover.

To get all the benefits Lasso has to offer, always
read and follow Lasso label instructions carefully.

The annual concert staged by the
students was held on Tuesday
evening of last week in 'the
auditorium at the Ripley District
High. School. There was a good
crowd in attendance and many
complimentary remarks were made,
on the variety and calibre of the
concert. It was originally schedul-
ed for the Thursday and Friday
evenings of the week before, but
the worst blizzard of the winter
blocked the' roads and cancelled
everything.

"CLOSED FOREVER"
Last Thursday morning the
Ripley Diamond Jubilee arena was
closed. -For caretaker and icemaker
Jim Brooks, who- did a very good
job, it was a long season since last
November. Apparently Jim will be
the last icemaker at the Diamond
Jubilee arena stretching from the
winter of 1927-28 down to the
present 1974-75. Allan Irwin was
on hand when the light switch was
rL.Iled and the proclamation placed
the bulletin board "Closed
Forever". It has served Ripley,
Huron Township, and surrounding
area well. And the recent blizzard,
with 50 mile winds, shows that it, is
in no danger of collapse.

Close to five last Tuesday
afternoon,. April 8, a Bruce Coach
Lines bus headed east towards
Holyrood-Teeswater from, Ripley
filled with , people bound for
Belmore Community hall. Here the
fifty people from ,this area were
served a delicious supper featuring
maple syrup on pancakes. '
However, when some went to
purchase the sweet fresh syrup to
take babk it was found to be almost
non existent. The blizzard of the
week end just before the trip had
stopped the sap flow and frozen the
tubing lines. With the nice
weather this week end, the flow has
started again, The Ontario Maple
Syrup Producers Association has
suggested a price of fourteen
dollars a gallon this year. Reg
Moore of Ripley was in charge -of
the bus arrangements.
Last Wednesday afternoon the
Ripley Fire siren sounded loud and
clear in the village. The truck
headed north on the fifteenth and it
was not away very long, but still '
after enquiries, no one seems to
know about the fire.
A newspaper clipping was sent
to us by Gordon Munn last week. It
was from the Stoney Creek News
and concerned an interesting
meeting which the Stoney Creek
Horticultural Society held recently
with 55 in attendance. The article
entitled "Horticultural - Photo
Night" states that the highlight of
the evening was the colour slide
contest. Henry Down introduced
Gordon Monti, a member of the
Hamilton Camera club, who pro-
jected and named the winning-
slides in the sixteen classes. The
interest here in this article is that
both Gordon and Henry" are local
people. Gordon, native of Ripley,
is the head of the mathematics
department and Henry, once
Kincardine beekeeper, a member
of the same math department at
Saltfleet District Collegiate in
Stoney Creek - east of Hamilton.
Well, this past Saturday and
Sunday was "Ennismore" week
end as far as Ripley was concerned.
The Juvenile Hockey team
travelled down on Saturday by cars
and a bus load of fans left early
Sunday ' morning for the fourth
game held on Sunday afternoon. •
This accounted for the number of
cars parked along Ripley's main
street on Sunday. '

Last Friday's Toronto Daily Star
carried a front page article on one
of its many sections about some of
the opinions of Mr. Justice
Moorhouse of Osgoode Hall in
Toronto and also his picture. The
writer recalls Justice Moorhouse
being in Ripley one summer
afternoon about 15 years ago,
accompanied by Mr. Ian MacRae of
London and Lochalsh. At that time
Mr. Moorhouse was looking for
information on one of the "limbs in
his family tree". However the limb
must have dropped off.

The Small Brothers Contractors'
were down from Kincardine last
week working on the lot just north
of Mr. and Mrs. Kenny 1VlacDon-
ald's'house and across the road
from the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Levi Good. Their bulldozer was
moving back earth for foundation

A week ago Mr. and Mrs. E. 0
Forrester of Ripley spent a few
days with their daughter Mrs.
Barber in Oshawa. Last Friday
Ossie returned to Ripley 'while his
wife's 'sister; his wife Elsie and , her
daughter are vacationing in Florida
at present.

On. Thursday evening, all the
committee members in charge of
the Craft Festival to be held in
Ripley Huron Central School on the
first two days in August met at, the'
home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan
McInnes in' Blyth. By the way,
while Omar Brooks was driving
doWn he and all his pasSengers
made a rare sighting of a herd of
five white tailed deer just south of
Lucknow. During the meeting the
committee appointed ticket takers,
set up people and all the many
people needed forspecific jobs. As
well 'as the usual displays, there
will be competitions and demon-
strations.
The front page of the Monday,
April 7 London Free Press carried
large picture of Orrie Vail _and the
story of his' discovery of the
remains of the sailing ship "The
Griffon". The Griffon was built by
De La Salle and- his men above
Niagara Falls 'in 1679. On its
maiden voyage up the lakes,
including Lake Huron, it went to
the place, now Green Bay, Wiscon-
sin and loaded a valuable cargo of
fine furs. It sailed back into Lake
Huron on September 18, 1639 and
was never seen again. Not till
1900, when Orrie as a young boy
fishing, sighted its remains in the
calm waters of a cove on Russell
Island - three miles north of
Toberrnory. Mr. Vail kept his
discovery to himself till he started
recovering pieces of the wreck in
1955 when the Toronto Telegram
scooped the story.
Of local interest is the• fact that
Mrs. Evelena (Charles) Wyld of
Ripley is a cousin of Orrie Vail.
The hardest part of-the wreck for
Mr. Vail to move was the oak keel
of the ship. Right now Orrie and
his wife Edna are awaiting the
influx of summer tourists who come
to see the remains of the Griffon
and learn more of its history.
