Dom's delay Tusave with GIBSON, Agent, Dryden A Night's Pleasure First Class Jeweller and Watch Maker After a week or two of anxious prac- ' tice and selection of players, the ladies pulled off their big Bowling game on Tuesday night, before a crowd of fans . who were thrilled with the excitement of the great game, ' their interest was shown later when set "=. the hat was passed and the astonishing amount of $50 was realized. As the alley was donated free by the manage- ment, the whole amount will go toward the hospital building fund for which the match was arranged. Mrs E. D. Warren, Mrs M. Morris, 'Mrs D. Freyd, Mrs S. N. Dixon, Mrs i M. S. Campbell formed one team, with Mrs M. D. Hambly, Mrs A. Burton, Mrs H. F. Bullard, Mrs H. Humphreys, cand Mrs J. S. Wilson opposed. The { latter won by 249 points, the score ' being 1414 to 1165. Honours were equally divided, however, while ths spectators had as much fun as the players themselves. This second successful event adds to the $80 previously earned on the sleigh drive a couple of weeks ago, when in response to the invitation of Mrs Edye the W. I. arranged a popular sleighiny party to which half the Town respond- ed. The night was ideal for the event. The moon came out with smiling face, and Jack Frost took an evening off for , once. mo _% On arrival at their destination, the party was exhilarated by the elaborate } preparations for their entertainment. i A huge bonfire threw its red glare over ; the fields of snow, while many lanterns j assured the safety of those who enjoy- "ed the carefully-made toboggan slide, the skating rink on the tennis court, i ete.--all entirely the work of the Edye family. The night's pleasure wound up in a dance in the spacious ball-room at Dennyhurst. * The Institute, who provided lunch. are very grateful to those who sent . teams, viz. Messrs Alex M'Phail, Jas. .

BM 8 Gwe war FI aa Toronto, Feb 19--Mr Heenan criticised the dominion and Ontario governments j for luring settlers to Canada by glow- ing advertisements in Great Britain, : when on arrival they only swelled the { ranks of the unemployed. He also complained of the treatment accorded to settlers, and declared that in his riding they were subjected to intimida * tion and persecution because of thei political faith. He did not believe the government was a party to this, but if it was allowed tocontinue, the govern- ment would be heeld responsible. At his request the minister of land: and forests had opened up some grave! pits to ameliorate the condition of the settlers who were affected by partial crop failures and were unable to sel their pulpwood because the mills had 'closed down. Yet because the settlers had closed the pits one afternoon to meet him (Heenan) and discuss with him, the resident engineer closed the pit the next day. Further, a returned ' soldier who had acted as secretary of a meeting that had discussed local con- ditions was dismissed from the govern- ment road department. Mr Heenar declared that men in the government service were going round among the settlers, apparently gloating over their 'misery, and telling them they could 'not expect any assistance while a labor man represented them. The Premier: "If you will give me the names of the government em- ployees to substantiate that charge, 1 will see they are not retained on the government payroll any longer." Mr Heenan promised to give the names, but preferred not to do so on the floor of the House. The Kenora member charged that the under-secretary for Northern Ontario did nothing else but play politics fro mmorning till night. A permanent and definite policy was needed, he continued, to take care of the unemployed, especially because the increase in the use of machinery was reducing opportunity for work. He asked that it be made compulsory for pulpwood companies to buy a certain quantity of pulpwood from settlers, and that in case a dispute arose about the price, the government should fix a fair figure. He asked for an amendment to the workmen's com- pensation act to include hernia cases, and also urged that the mother's allow- ance act be amended to make provision for a mother with one child, or at dependent children went to work; the other child and its mother should be , cared for. The measure of ; least provide that when one of two, @ Still Hoping. i WALDHOF, Feb. 23.--The Annual meeting of Waldhof Community Hall was held here Saturday, February 21, ail directors re-elected.
