Card of thanks-- Mr and Mrs Dunlop and family wish to thank the friends for kindness and sympathy in their recent sad bereave- ment. Ak ROX The Willing Workers Bazaar was a grand success, thanks to their able president, Miss Lily Brignall, who is really a born leader. The girls had a much better assort- ment of goods this time, useful ones too, such as, dresses, aprons, towels pillow slips, handkerchiefs and boy's suits. The bunches of pansies contri- buted by Mrs Browning, sold like hot cakes at ten cents a bunch, One girl helped the sale of them along. She had eight or ten bunches behind her back and was still receiving more when I last saw her. One gentleman, a bachelor at that, bought towels, pillow cases and women's dresses just because a bewitching young lady bade him do so. Two young fellows wanted some pillow cases very badly, but not having the price of a pair, they went into partnership and secured one apiece. Mr Cook showed some very fine pictures and also one of Charlie Chap- lin which evoked great roars of laughter from the 'male side of the hall. Mr Cook also auctioned off the but he pleaded ignorance as to what he was selling for he declared he didn't understand everything about women's ea child- ren's clothes. Lunch was served by the Club girls, "and lemonade stirred by old maids ' was what we got to quench our thirst. The total amount cleared was about "eighty-five dollars. This bazaar was == held to raise funds to pay for the sid- ing of the Community Hall which is solely the girls' job. * ES % * Last Wednesday, August 3rd, the . Club girls all went blue- berrying in Mr Jones' hay wagon and came back with nearly twenty-five dollars worth of berries, The only serious thing which happened, fell on the one most able to bear it. That was Bill Jones. At dinner-time he set off to feed his beasts of burden and while making the return journey he missed the trail and after wandering on for a while, he decided to hoot. He soon found, by the sound of the answering voices, that he was going in exactly the opp- osite direction to which he intended. But the girls soon brought him back, trust them to do that. Miss L. Brignall and Miss A. Adams came first and second in the picking contest, Lily having two baskets and a pail full and Rissa with almost two baskets. = We expect that by now their capable ayesident is planning something else in mer bright head. : Much credit is due Mrs Len, Pate- man for getting these girlz in such splendid running order. -- Observer vi oraphy (1st), Atr & Zoology (2nd) Meditation A great deal of interest is being shown this week by the people of Dryden, in the arrival of contrac- tors with their crews to build the power plant at Wainwright Falls and the buildings at the Mill itself to contain the extensions. There is more to the matter than simply a possible enlarge- ment of the output of a leading industry. The hugeness of the project; the potential advantages to the well-being and .develop- ment of the Town ; the fascination of hydro-electric generation in the evolution of modern life and busi- ness; the promise implicit in the scheme itself of great possibilities of comfort or personal advantage to every citizen--all these factors play their parts in attracting one's interest and attention. What indeed would Dryden be without its water-power! The problem of converting our great natural resources of timber and the rich soil on which it grows to the common good, has been and is being simplified and accelerated by the activities of the Dryden Paper Company. Not only does the long pay-roll provide a home market for the natural products of the farm, but its unappeasable demand for pulp- with a Moral ted primarily for the purposes of electric light and power which who can thereby make the income from pulpwood sold more than pay the cost of clearing land. Further, the large capital inves- the industry itself has made it possible for the Town of Dryden to secure conveniences such as would be unthinkable for a town of this size and location for years to come but for the Dryden Paper Company having located here. Given these facts as a starting point, what developments may yet be possible as a result of the completion of the present power extension? First, until existing enterprizes are adequately sup- plied with light and power,.and the needs of the Town are fully met, it would be vain to seek for additional channels for power dis- posal. 'Let us first ensure the Mrs Roffey, Mrs. Grace Hodgkinson, was filled by rela- tives and friends of the happy couple, who followed intently the impressive service of the English Church. WEDDED AT WABIGOON. Lillian Morrison, daughter of Mr and Mrs L. D. Pidgeon of Wabigoon, was united in the Holy Bonds to Courtlandt Dickson Otty, son of George Dickson Otty of Hampton N.B. on Monday last, in St. John's Church, by the Rev. Canon Lofthouse of Ken- ora.

Canadian History, Geography, Zoology : A large additional force will soon be put to work, and everything rushed to the utmost limit. The structural steel for the build- ings that are to house the new paper making machines is already on order, and the contract for the erection of the buildings has been awarded to Hazelton and Wallin Ltd., Winnipeg, The work is even now under way. A new building has been erected by the Dryden Paper Company which is firstly to be utilized as a bunk-house, but after its services are no longer required for this purpose it will be converted into a stable. The paper machines have been ordered for the last two months from the Beloit Iron- works, Beloit, Wis; while the neces- sary turbines and generators were ordered by Mr J. B. Beveridge while in Montreal recently. The contract for the erection of the transmission lines has been let this week to the Electric Sales & Engine- Fort William. The Dryden Paper Co. is furnishing the material for this purpose, and the order has already been placed." All of these contracts are positively to be complet- ed by December the first, which means that employment will be plentiful in Dryden during the remaining months of summer on a proposition that wil mean continuous employment after its completion to a large number of new residents. In festive mood the Ladies Aid of Union Church gathred together at Sandy Beach on Wednesday afternoon. Some came by water and some came overland, About thirty helped to make a supper in the wild wood, and then helped to eat it, Some of the younger generation who had accompanied their parents, used the lake for a swim- ming bath. Then the rain came. Whereupon the ladies assembled in the pavilion, turned on the music, and held a business meeting. For business they decided to discharge all their financial obligations before their annual meeting next month. After passing this item they enjoyed the music until their transportation home arrived.
