pioneer day '77
Well Saturday, April 9th
was Ripley's Pioneer Day.
,And even tho it was Easter
weekend a lot of people
turned out. This year they
had a very good parade in
fact it was the largest one I
can remember. Everyone
seem to enjoy the many food
booths, game booths, the
arts and cafts displays, the
free bar-b-que, fiddler's
contest, street dance and
teen dance. Plus the children
had a full day with water
guns and squirt bottles. It
was a beautiful spring day
for us this year which made it
great for the Rodeo and the
children games in the park
and the horseshoe pitching
contest.
A lot of hard work was
done by all too few people. I
don't know any class, club or
organization that couldn't
have used a lot more helping
hands had they been offered.
Thank God we still have
enough people (young and
old) that have enough self
respect and pride to pitch in
and get this thing done.
But out town is no
different than any other that
has people full of fancy
words and ideas which is
great but with out the action
to go along with them. You
still have what you started
with "Nothing" and I might
add because you gave an
hour of your time six months
ago by no means ends there.
If you have doubts, "share"
is full defined in the dictio-
Y ,
nary. I m sure glad Mr.
Webster when writing that
dictionary didn't decide he
had done his share with just
the idea or all of man kind
would be short of a few
million words and their
meanings. So the next time
someone asks for your help
whether it be your family,
friends, town, country or
world, ask yourself one
question, am I doing, my
share or am I too selfish to
share?
PARADE THEME
This years parade theme
was "We've Come Along
Way". The floats all did an
outstanding job expressing
their ideas. The Ripley
students had some very good
floats which an awful lot of
young folks put in a lot of
work on so I want to try to
name them all, I'll just say
you all made a lot of parents
and teachers and towns
people happy to say thats our
kids. The Chamber of
Commerce had a nice float
which was built by Don
Sneed, Rick Baker, Don
Mattox, Ruby Baker, Vicki
Watts and Elaine Garmen.
The Payne County Civil
Defence Units did them-
selves proud as did everyone
else who entered the parade.
I'm sorry I did not have the
pleasure of seeing each entry

as I was helping with the
Chamber of Commerce Bo-
oth and missed some of the
parade. But in any case the
Student Council and Ripley
Town Council, Chamber of
Commerce, Ripley Fire
Dept. VFW and Lions wish to
say thanks to each and every
entry of the parade and hope
to see you back next year. It
would be impossible to name
each person who gave their
service on Pioneer Day. As
per usual Sheriff Frank
Phillips and the Sheriff's
Posse were on hand. They
are a grand group of men
and are always ready to help
us when we need them. We
thank you again for another
job well done. Also doing a
fine job were the Cushing
Auxiliary Policemen and our
Ripley Deputies. All I can
say is its great to know these
men are on hand when
they're needed and their pay
is knowing they have helped
themselves by helping ot-
hers. It was also a pleasure
to see Mr. Joe Manning, Mr.
Robert Murphy, Mr. Ulysses
Cruzan and Retired Deputy
Sheriff Harry McKnight.
To Larry Eslinger who put
in many long hours working
with the school and the town
getting this Pioneer Day put
together, we can only say
Larry there aren't enough
words to express how happy
we are to have you back in
Ripley with the School
system. I understand there
will be a meeting soon to
start plans for next years
Pioneer Day. With the hopes
of starting early it will ease
the last minute work load.
EASTER EGG HUNT
There was an Easter Egg
Hunt at the track field for
kids of all ages. There were
prize eggs. The hunt was
sponsored by the Ripley
Chamber of Commerce,
Ripley Lions Club, Ripley
Cafe, The Shop and Get
Quik. There was a sum of 110
pound of eggs for the
children to enjoy. Vice
President, Rick Baker of the
Ripley Chamber of Com-
merce expressed his thanks
to those who donated their
money and time. Those
people spent a lot of time
wrapping those eggs they
are Vicki Watts, Clydene
Lemon, Ruby Baker, Jeanne
Osborn, Doris Dodion, J.O.
Dogion and Elaine Garmen
and many others who help
get the eggs out. I might add
Mrs. Lemon is a member of
the Chamber of Commerce
(Ripley) but lives in Monette,
Mo., so she and Jeanne
Osborn came down from
Monette to help out with
Pioneer Day. Elaine Garmen
once again did a lot to help as
she did with the C of C
Pancake Supper earlier this
year. Somebody's missing
the boat by not getting her
for a Chamber of Commerce
Member.
Cancer Drive is said
to be a success
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank every-
one who has helped with the
Cancer Drive this year. We
are in sight of our goal for
the Cancer Crusade this year
(as of Monday, 11th, our
contributions totaled
$966.78) and we are urging
everyone who hasn't given
as yet to join other generous
citizens in fighting Cancer.
Anyone who would like to
contribute may do so at the
Payne County Bank or mail
contributions to Ellen Dick-
son, 216 N.E. 4th, Perkins or
Joan McDaniel, 520 N.E.
6th, Perkins.
A special thanks goes to
Clarrcy Cook and the Senior
Citizens for preparing the
Crusade Packets, to Naudain
Lore for serving as Business
Crusade Chairman, to Elsie
Grant for hosting a coffee in
the Olivet Community which
raised $54.35, to the children
and teachers in our school
system who have helped with
the "send a mouse to
college" phase of our
campaign which now totals
$57.36, and last, but
certainly not least, to the
following volunteers who
canvassed door to door:
Stella Hughes, Dorothy
Lancaster, Lorene Redus,
Shirley Hall, Judy Spillars,
Roberta Hooper, Connie
Walker, Willa J. Casey,
Sherry Henigman, Barbara
Tarlton, Virginia Hawxby,

FROM ME TO YOU
I personally would like to
say Thanks to all the peple
who gave their time. Names
of these wonderful people
need not be named as they
will feel the Thank You l So if
you don't feel my "Thank
You" why not join in some of
the many activities going on
around Ripley and next time
you'll have the feeling. And I
might add it's a great feeling
being on the inside looking
out.
So goes the news in the
"Biggest Little Town in
Payne County."

Linda Shingleton, Teresa
Niles, Betty Branstetter and
Linda Parrack from the High
School Student Council and
Diana Herring, Lori Hatfield,
Peggy Smith, Joana Bostian,

born and Travis Fowler from
the Middle School Student
Council.
Again, many thanks to
everyone who has contibuted
so generously with the hope
that "WE CAN WIPE OUT
CANCER IN YOUR LIFE-
TIME."

Concerned Property
owners board
will meet
The Board of Directors for
the Concerned Property
Owners will meet at 7:30
p.m. Thursday, April 14, at
the Cimarron Valley Co-op
conference room. The board
will discuss a general
meeting for the membership
at this time. However, the
main purpose is to analyze
the future course of action in
relation to tax problems.
Interested persons may
contact Leo Graves, chair-
man of the Membership
Committee, for information
regarding membership, etc.
Wayne Allen will also be
available for help in these
areas in the future. It is
reported that Allen is
currently in the hospital.
Also, membership applica-
tion forms may be picked up
at the Journal office on week
days.
Although this meeting of
the new tax organization is
basically for the board of
directors, it is open to the
public. However, tax pro-
blems as such are not on the
immediate agenda as much
as plans to meet these
problems in the best possible
manner, Youngker stated to
the Journal.
