Members of the Board are elected for two-year terms, three of the six retiring each year. This year the re- tiring members are A. E. Berrey, R. G. Wigle, and D. Lane, (who was nominated for the few remaining months of Mr Bigelow's term). In addition it is reported that J. O. Gough will resign, his business demanding ie attention. This leaves Messrs H. Adair (chairman) and Jas. Hutchi- son (Van Horne appointee) as the nucleus of next year's Board, Interest is also growing in regard to the question of Mayor and Council for 1925. The majority of present Councillors have served more than one term, and while their experience in the. Council commends them as candidates for another year, it must also be taken into account that the duties involved make a heavy call on the time of the Councillors, and the honour attached to the position ig counter-halanced by the responsibility, and the not always interesting mature of the routine. Ambition may often cause a man to enter public life, but it demands a high standard of citizenship to secure faithful attendance at all the meet- ings of the full Council or its various a high standard in the matter of atten- as it is doubtful whether any Member has been absent from two meetings during the year. Towards the end of the month electors will have another opportunity to hear the fullest account of their stewardship. Bow = wow ! (By the Dog Editor.)

Parker was 79 years of age, of which 28 have been spent in this district. Sixteen years he lived on his homestead in Wainwright, and twelve years ago he bought part of the old Skene property across the river, since known as Parker's Point. He came here from Toronto, where at one time he conducted a very large and successful business, being regard- ed as a wealthy man. But a period of depression following a real estate . boom caused him heavy losses, and he sought and found a mode of life more to his liking in this newly opened country in the north, where he has achieved some success and fame as a grower of garden produce. : A service was held in the Dryden Baptist Church by Rev.
