Yes, Bill, they're growing like weeds over in Swede town; but there is no "case" for celebrating. Young ladies should be warned against parading the streets arm- ed with long knives. Their native 'equipment is sufficiently irresist- ible to make ordinary weapons unnecessary. At the dance last Friday there was great variety of scent and sentiment. Attar of roses, jockey club, carnation, &c., filled the at- mosphere, but there was a con- spicuous absence of lavender. It is remarked that many of 'Dryden's young men fail to make the most of their opportunities at a dance. They are too fond of doing 'the wall-flower act. Per- "haps they suffer from a feeling of 'ennui, or is it that they desire to take unmanly advantage of leap year?

A. special committee, have far some weeks past, been, looking into the possibility of a cottage hospital as a 'war memor- ial for Dryden and district. In- | 'formation has been obtained from the provincial government, from' ¢ small hospitals already organized, and various other sources, | which reports are so very encour- aging that the committee - has decided to go ahead and obtain probable cost of building and 'equipping a hospital of eight beds This data will be brought before the committee at the next meeting and a decision will then be made regarding the canvass for funds. Some time has elapsed since the committee first 'met to discuss this proposition. This is because {it -was absolutely necessary to ! consider the question from every langle, and to obtain all the in- | formation possible on the subject. ! Two members of the committee have offered to pay a visit to one. or/two other small hospitals, so | that the very best can be had commensurate. with the funds available. Therefore, it is felt that when the matter is placed be- fore the people of Drxden and District there will be a definite | plan for a memorial that all can be proud of, and at the same time one that will be of untold value to the community. Letters from outlying districts and verbal remarks, proves thata wide interest is being taken in the venture.

When he was able to get around again he started to preach the need of a local hospital and has promised to back the scheme for all he is worth. : : | Now, it is up to every person, to get behind the scheme and boost it.
