The Dryden Observer As an old picnicer, I thought I would drop you a line regarding the joined picnic of Beaver Lake, Rice Lake, and Cairnbrogie, which was held at Mr Jim Sherwood's Farm on July 24th. I must say that I enjoyed myself beyond expectation. And I am sure that ever y one who attended this picnic will agree with me that it was one of the best picnics ever held in this Community, And I for one would say let's have a couple more before winter. The variety of sports was great for the children and grown-ups. Especially the pillow-fighting, sack-race, Kan- garoo race, Potato race, Hurdle race, young couple's race, pole jumping, Tug o'war, barn yard golf, and numerous others. Also the Ice Cr eam stand In conclusionthanks to Mr and Mrs James Sherwood for the use of their field and all they provided. .

These were not reg- ularly organized, but that did not de- tract from the evidence bearing on the subject advertised for discussion which was road requirements. e Mr Brignall, who displayed a great deal of tact, ably filled the chair, while Mr W, W. Howell acted as secretary in his usual efficient manner. Among descriptions of conditions in the diflerent neighbourhoods the more noticeable were the well-balanced remarks of Mr Crowley, Quibell, and * Wall of East Aubrey. The large nuraber. of automobiles from all parts was "evidence there ntered in that no complaints were made by those having anything to market.

Mr Heenan, our provincial represen- tative, expressed his great regret at being compelled to inject politics into ere no very har-|py the matter; but it is perhaps difficult for some to understand the necessity to do so. The gentleman was in good form, and made his most happy effort in this locality, To be sure there was ; his usual self-exploitation and eulogiz- ing of his own activities; the usual mis-statements, one of which was ab- solutely false, due possibly to lapse of memory, added te rather childish vitu- peration and violent attacks on his political opponents and so ad infinitum (I came very near slipping by saying "ad nauseum").
