Volume Iv. Dryden, Oat, May 18th 1923 What Toroanis Thinks TORONTO, May 9--Few acclama- tions can be expected in a contest so 'bitter as the one about to begin. Peter Heenan, the Farmer-Labour member for Kenorz, seems to have the best chance of escaping a fight and being 2 Irish he does not care much if he is opposed. Peter's persistency and husky brogue has saved Kenora from bankruptey, secured her industrial activity that is the'envy of surrounds ing communities and kept the town on the map. He is the hero of the town and scarcely less so of the settlers in the district who have shared in the general prosperity. Kenora once upon a time was Rat Portage. Its name might well be changed to Heenanville. Anybody who runs against Peter will be wasting breath and money--Tor- onto Daily Stay. @ Pianos ND mgton Typewriters Sold by -- - Douglas Lane (Post Office Building) DRYDEN ONT. i -- C. B.

"At first sight it seems discouraging to us to find that cur attempts have met so little apprecia- tion. However, on second thoughts if there are people who think and talk that way, maybe it's better that it should he given the air and discussed openly, and possibly some good may result for our Annual Fair: Maybe the writer didn't mean all he said but his own letter would supply answers to some of his questions. The very fact that he did not sign his full name would seem to prove that' the idea of secrecy is not all on one side. If he has been a resident here all that time and a member for so many years, why dosen't he. come openly to the meetings and give us the benefit of suggestions? I am sure the directors would be glad to see him, and would promptly accept all the help he could give, for nobody knows better than themselves how far short the Fair is from what it could be. But they are at least giving hele time and knowledge to improve things as far as they may, and their princi- pal difficulty is getting people like Enquirer to do something other thar criticize. It takes a lot of energy tc rouse up enthusiasm for the exhibi- {tion and get the grumblers to take an interest in their own Fair, when the people should bestir themselves and allow the directors to give all their time to improving the exhibition itself. A man like Enquirer should not be sitting back waiting to be drag- ged into , the thing; -he should get around and boost the Fair on his own account if he is a public-spirited -citi- zen. Surely he doesn't need someone else to remind him every year that the Fair is coming along. Of course, a great deal of the work done by the directors as a body or in the different committees is not seen. to do much. But anyone who has had <perience' of + this kind "of - thing knows how much needs to be done. g Pe proof of that is that it is so hard ! to get people to accept office on the ® board of management. Everybody wants the job done, but they want the other fellow to do it. Maybe that' 'what's the matter with Enquirer. It is so much easier to criticize other people than to get out and show how to do it. This kind of critic is gen: erally somebody who is seeking a cheap way of getting a name for being anxious for the public good. If he really believes he could get things better done, let him prove his earn- estness by coming forward and we'll be glad to give him something to do At the Annual meeting, besides publishing a notice, we send out post- cards to every member; so Enquire: to turn out and take an office along with the rest of -us, instead of putting us to the usual trouble of leaving the meeting to hunt up a quorum. Things are more advanced this year, than last, and maybe our 1923 show will come nearer meeting his approval than some of those in the past." We are still working at it anyhow."

D.

The cause for which the entertal fin E ment was got up being a worthy one 'may have had something to deo in. creating interest and attracting the erowd: but those who saw and heard the performances were agreed that thei H benefit of such musical effort was' enough to stand on its own merits. As a matter of fact, apart from any advantage to athletics, the splendid work done by those who gave their time and talent to theMinstrel Show rendered a great public service to the Town. The cultivation of talent, and the encouragement of its public performance, has long been rec- ognized as a factor of value in social progress. And the amount of avail- able talent in Dryden is great enough to justify anyone with the necessary culture and public spirit to keep up| the choral training for which the ground-work has been so efficiently completed. i Wk sk ok ok The boys certainly had the hall fix- ed up right for the show, and when the hall lights were darkened leaving only the glow from the footlights and proscenium arch, the double row of shining eyes and gleaming teeth showing out of .the ebony faces made a thrilling scene. And when the rousing chorus burst forth, embellisi ad with orchestral effects, one felt that Dryden had at last found a worth- while way to entertain itself. The chorus on the whole was dis- {inctly good, having volume and spirit, sometimes a little weak in attack, but in places rounding out into good, rich tone. The full orchestral accompani- ment was something of novelty too, in Dryden, and added considerably to the fine effect. It would be impossible to describe 'n detail the long programme. The mimitable, solds of Ira J. Wilde, with chorus, made a great hit. While on che other hand, the sentimental bal- lads sung by Mr R. Milling (Quibell) | reached the hearts of the aud lignce and also won an encore. A song started in medium voice by Mr A. urton, 'con- Jnued in the deep bass of Dr Wood, and completed in the high register of Zrnie Payne, was a clever, idea, and earned the heartiest applause. Duets by A. E. Berrey and Frank Porter car- G. H. Ball was another singer new to a Dryden audience who will be sure of a welcome on any future appear- ance. And Dr Wood, a bass singer of anusual quality, was another favour- te. t A quartette composed of F. Porter, A. BEaBerrey, F. M.
