: V2 dhof School with their play, i) Armstrong. SNES 2 = down VOL. IX DRYDEN, Ontario, June 14th, 1929 Fun on the Local THE occasion of the visit of the "Fun on the Local" under thc able leadership of their worthy pedagogue Mr Joe Armstrong, proved to be a most enjovabic ' and successful affair. Arriving in Dryden by motor the afternoon was spent visiting 0 such institutions as the Dryde; Public and High Schools, Dryde: Paper Company and the Bate: Valve Bag Company. Promptly at five o'clock, the visitors and Dryden friends sat down to a most sumptuous ban- quet at the Central Hotel. Rev. Watkins opened with grace followed by a speech of welcome from our host, Mr J. Weddings DIXON--]JOHNSON THE marriage of Lily Johnson and William Dixon,- of Dryden took place in St. Luke's church on Saturday afternoon, Rev. W. R Tindle, officiating. Mrs C. Smith attended the bride, who wore a smart frock »f deep rose georgette, with bril- lant embroidery and a large picture hat of grey silk mohair and lace. Mrs Smith was dres- sed in black georgette and lace, combined with metalic cloth and a large fawn hat. Mr C. Parks supported 'the groom. : Following the ceremony a re- ception was held at the residence of Mrs Smith Mayor Dr Wood was the next speaker and gave a most interest- ing address on the Agricultural developments = of our western country. The next speakers were Mr E. Gruen, Secretary- Treasurer, and Mr Perduss, chair man of Waldhof School. = They spoke very highly of Mr Arm- strong's work among them, and stated that the splendid success of the school and its pupils was in a large degree due to Mr Arm- strong's untiring efforts, and spoke of the deep regret they felt that they were to loose him So soon. Rev. Watkins gave a very forcible address on education and its benefits. 'I'he eloquence of his remarke would be bound to influence many present to higher education. M F Cook next spoke and in humorous style, told how in the old days, while he was the Agri- cultural Representative it always gave him pleasure where com- munity gatherings were taking place to go along and fill up and that on this occasion he had cer tainly filled up. He was indeed pleased to be present at this auspicious occasion for the Wald- hof school. Frank Whiteley interspersed the programme of speeches with piano selections in his usual ver- satile manner. After one and all had thanked Mr Armstrong for the happy oc- casion, it was time to proceed to the Strand Theatre, where the Waldhof School presented their play. This side-splitting: comedy de- picted the characters that got on and off the Local in the course of its trip from Kenora to Dryden. Particularily humorous were Tom Foot's girl, who was proud. to tell the world of her infatua-. tion; the fat old lady who got} on at Oxdrift, with her basket of eggs and youl could imagine Jimmy Hodgins there giving her, a shove up, and passing the' basket up to her when she made; the top step. : And the young sheiks with their instruments of chivori on the way to help Walter P with his wedding was a great, ugh, Also the beautiful widow from Vermilion Bay; ingratiating dark man from Min- nitaki, and the assurance of the flapper from Eagle River.

The bride was gowned in a French model pou- dre blue ensemble of georgette and wore a hat of grey silk moh- air and corsage of pink roses and lillies of the valley. ; Mr and Mrs Lanthier left by motor for Chicago, via Rainy River; Minneapolis & Rochester. VISITS NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND STATES mas With his usual modesty, we found it very dithcult to get any thing from Mr Pitt about his three weeks' visit to Eastern Canada and the American Atlan- tic seaboard. He assured us that he and Dr Morison had a good time at the Toronto races. He states that when he left Dr Morison, he was frightened of be- ing further robbed, having heard so much of the terrors of Ameri- can cities, disliking to be robbed by strangers, perfering this being done by his friends. He further states that Prohibition seems to be working very well in the Uni- ted States, nothwithstanding any- thing said to the contrary. That although certain statisticians claim thirty-two thousand (32000) speak easies are in New York, Cithy, this is hard to believe. He did not find more than a hundred. In all seriousness, he deplores that so little is known of this middle section; of Canada, with its wonderful = tourist pos- sibilities. More than ever con- vinced of our assets, he is still more incensed at our neglected state. freckling. sophisticated and Price a W. I. Annual The District annua lmeeting of the Women's lnstitute was held at Dryden this week. The first meeting began at 2:30. p-m., on Tuesday in the Town Hall. Delegates from all parts of the district; a total of 51 in all, Mrs J. McCoombs, District President, Kenora, presided and the address of welcome was given by Mrs D. E. McRae of Dryden. Mrs McCoombs in her remarks stressed the value of the W. I.,}|- not only in the home, but also the educational value; for the general good of humaniy, Their aim to press forward to the high marl is the chief object of the organiz- ation, Mrs Garrison of Keewatin re- plied to the address of welcome. Mrs Don Maunsell then render- ed a pleasing solo, accompanied by Mrs J. E. Gibson Dr D. E. McRae, Agricultural Representative spoke on girls work and advised having Junior Institutes to embrace the young people's activities. He believed that the foundation of the future was in the home life of the girls and boys of today, and pointed out the value of train'ng girls in home-making, because ' here the highest principles of life are founded, and we look to our] boys and girls to carry on and; accomplish our tasks, and achieve success where we faield and ful-: fil our dreams. Mr MecaRe's! remarks were received with, much applause. ; A delightful piano solo was! then given by Miss Alma Larson. | Reports which conta'ned almost every line of activity were givenj by the representatives from the! different branches. 2S The report of Mrs Ames of, Amesdale, although impromptu' was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mrs R. G Wigle, member of the Provincial Board for this sub- division, then read a most inter-] esting report of the Board's work during the past year. One par- ticularly interesting item was; the announcement that the Insti- tutes of Ontario had placed a doctor at Tobermory, an isolated section of Ontario. They aie also co-operating with the Society for crippled children to make a complete survey of Ontario. Mrs Wigle concluded her remarks with these lines. "If a bit of sunshine helps you _ after passing through a cloud, Or a fit of laughter gets you & vour spine is feeling proud. Don't forget to up and fling it at a soul that's feelin' blue For the moment that you sling it, it's a boomerang to you."
