Fancy Skater * % % The weather being so severe and numerous other social functions on for New Year's Eve, no doubt many people "passed up the opportunity of witness- ing Messrs Bert Clarke and 'Gordon Thompson, fancy, comedy and, acro- batic skaters. Both of these perform- finished their western tour ers have and are passing through to the Lake cities, Port Arthur and Fort William, | to perform there and start their east- ern tour.

A Boost for the Town:-- I may mention (it won't do any harm) that both of these performers stated that if they were treated and received in every town as they were in Dryden, their travelling and perform- ing in different towns and cities would be a pleasure. Here's hoping "the weather stays mild.

Alexander, Minister of Finance for Older Boys' Parliament, says: : , "It is impossible to carry. on the ¥ work of development of the coming ? generation of Canadian citizens, in the & way that it is being done by the C.S.- 9 E.T. groups hroughout Canada, with- out funds and hearty support of the public. We, the older boys 'of Mani- toba and Canada feel assured that if every boy does his share, there will be no need to worry as to the outcome of the $6,250 budget for 1924. In the great war many great things were done by boys. Just boys--every-day boys: the same that are all over Can- ada. We have them in Dryden, Ken- ora, Ignace and Keewatin, and what boys have done, boys can dé." As one of the boys of Dryden, I feel sure that the public is keenly interested in the work of the C.S.E.T., the Direct Cur- rent Tuxis Square of Dryden and the future citizens of Canada. Boys, do not be discouraged if one or two refuse to invest in the four- fold development of their Canadian boys. ian Nearly 5000 boys, Tuxis and Trail Ranger will make a canvass of the population of Manitoba and Wetsern Ontario during the 100-day*éampaign, February 1st to 10th, both days inclu- sive, and indications suggest that very keen rivalry will be displayed between various groups as to "who will make the best showing and wifi 'the grand championship shield.

Besides these shields, special honour . penents will be awarded to every boy selling five shares, but it must be dis- tinctly understood that all returns must reach the Manitoba Boys' Work Board office, 205 Huron and Eric Buildings, by 12 o'clock midnight, Feb. 20th, if they are to count in the com- petition for the shields and pennents.
