'Will Have Room To Grow -- (Editorial) KENORA, March 8, 1927.--While Kenora, like Dryden, is "sitting tight" the days are stretching out, and the vanishing snow gives promise that spring will soon return once more, there is an undercurrent of activity to be felt in several directions, all point- ing in the direction of a busy season ahead, the principal features of which would not be hard to forecast. As events and developments in this capital of the Kenora District are bound to have their repercussion over the whole countryside, it should be of interest to the Dryden District to keep to some extent in touch with the situation here. Till now, all of Northern Ontario has been left in a state of undevelopment hardly different from its condition when the settlers arrived. While hardy seitlers have cleared sections of land and have grown into fair-sized com- munities in some places and a or 2a town has sprung up here andi there, they have all in differing degrees suffered the terrible handicap of isola tion. neighbour towns and commur could provide markets and tercourse has held up devel growth, and made nearly i that accumulation of material rewa: of effort that is necessary te progres and happiness. ~The policy of road and highway de velopment to which the Ferguson Gov ernment is pledged, and which is whole - heartedly endorsed by the present representative, Mr J. PF. Earngey, should, when carried out dur- ing this and succeeding summers, do more to stimulate the epening up ol this rich-gection of Ontario than could be possible by any other means. vil Underweight (Contributed by Nurse Osborne) MALNUTRITION is poor nutrition. Nutritien is the process of absorbing anything that nourishes. Children ten per cent or more under- weight for height are malnourished. This is an index that proper growth and development has not taken place and in almost every case the reaso: can be found. It may be either th result of physical defeets, insufficien food, impreper food, bad health health and usually insufficient rest. Weight is one of the most important and most frequent indications of gcox or bad nutrition. Tables have been compiled showing the normal we gn the best way per cent below the ngrmal w should have careful supervision an. examination.. Malnutrition interfere: with growth and lack of resistance to disease. As a child grows up it should gain in weight te "keep up" with the height, Both the quantity and kind of food taken by the child is important. There are some children who have been over- fed with the wrong type of food.. The types of food which are needed by the growing child are milk, eggs, some meat, whole grained cereals (not the package kind) fruits and vegetables. Next to and equally as important as the diet in the treatment of malnutri- tion is rest. A growing child cannot have too much rest and the child who is "below par" needs extra rest. For all such children up to 14 years of age twelve hours sleep is essential. At no time should they ever become tired or fatigued. . Late hours cause "Sleep hunger" and make and fidgety. TORONTO,Ont.--Mr and Mrs S. B. Black, 320 Scarboro Road, were "At Home" to a large number of friends on Saturday, March 5th, on the occas- sion of their twenty-sixth wedding anniversary. In the evening a delight- ful time was spent, with music and dancing and a mest pleasing feature was the meeting of several former Dry- den residents who were present, in- cluding Mr and Mrs B. Blair, Mrs Wm. Reid and Mr and Mrs H. L. .Rehill Vernon Black, who is attached to the Royal Bank staff at Picon, was un- fortunately unable to attend, as well Western Hospital, Teronto, suffering from a painful injury. 3 | J. E.

FROM the volume of correspondence and general discussion in connection with Dairying, those their money in the Dryden Creamery were convinced: That the only solution to the dist- rict's progress, now that the woods were almost depleted, was to give the {farmer an opportunity of converting his field crops into a markateable pro- duct and at the same time improve the productivity of the land. The share- holders were quite aware of the fact that you cannot get into Dairying in a year or two and expected to operate at a loss, but at least should cover operating charges the third year, and that by operating throughout the year, they would further encourage the farmer in winter Dairying. After three years operation, the results are by no means encouraging and the increase in cream, over las: vear, has been negligable. Operating leficits to date are approximately I'wenty-five Hundred Dollars, so that the shareholders, at their annual meet- e concluded that the creamery i ance of the district, and s will have to give, it thei: erous support. or they will the end of October, and le conditions war- er operation. aE Sed unui who invested | 1 f § LOCALS { Major H.

Ralph Pronger has returned to Dry- den, after a week's trip to Minneapolis, Minn., and other western cities. Mr Kirby, General Agent of the Chicago Northwest Railway, was a business visitor to Dryden, Wednesday. Misses Dorothy and Florence Dawkins have left for Sioux Lookout. E. H. Mills, Dominion Government Supervisor of the Livestock Branch from Red Deer, Alta., paid an official } visit-to Dryden this week and was the ; guest of Mr and Mrs E. Dawk'ns, dur- | ing his stay here. Mr Mills was. greatly impressed with the advantages { this part of the country affords for al ble solution is that the farm- xe Creamery over and operatc Iways did exist. The volume in production they must call a halt. The following figures will show the financial condition of the creamery: From May 1, 1926 to March 1, 1927, 19,330 pounds of butter were made; 1,537 gallons of Ice Cream made. With this small output in our third year of operation, it can easily be seen that the :reamery has been operating at a loss. From figures obtainable from other creameries, similarly located, it re- quires an output of at least 45,000 pounds of butter annually, to show = profit. Since this creamery started. 'n July 1924, the total loss of th: Company has been $2,500.00, on the operatien expenses alone, with a loss ast year amounting te $800.00. There is a geod demand for ow oroduct, and it is estimated that $2- 300.00 worth of butter is imported to upply the butter requirements of this istrict, more than we are producing. The problem is: First--We have a reasonably wel' equipped creamery, which th Directors will operate till Octobe: 31st, 1927. Second--There is a good market fo the Dryden future eof Creamery now depends on the support it receives during the com- ing season. The solution being MORE CREAM OR NO CREAMERY. . IN MEMORIAM.

Eamgey, M.P.P. for Kenora District, paid a flying visit to his home town luring the week end, to dispose of some urgent matters that called for immediate attention. As the legis- lature is still in session, he was obliged to leave again for Toronto, Sunday night. While here, he received several depu- tations and was interviewed by a number of representatives of public and business interests of the Town and District. Mr Earngey was in particularly good spirits, and feels confident that the Government plan of highway construc- tion which is expected to be of im-| meidate benefit to the Town of Kenora will proportionately prove of advant- age to Dryden and the whole of the District. Personally he declares his intention to see that every part of the constituency is given a square deal.
