JAZZING PULPIT THEMES (Contributed) Talking - of advertising, a New York minister has been a guing that an appeal to curiosity is an unfailing method of bringing people to church. He advertises his sermon topies persuasively. He gives examples: "A Kiss in the Dark," for Judas, as the subject. "The Runaway Couple," for Adam and Eve. ""The Preacher and the Danec- ing Girl," for John the Baptist. "The Iong-haired Man and the Short-haired Girl," for Saf- son and Delilah. The New York minister said that when he put out a snappy headline like any of these ser- mon topics, people flocked to church, - Theological colleges better add a course in snappy adver- tising to their curricula. --Free Press J. W. Fowlie, manager of the local branch of the Royal Bank left Saturday for Killarney, Manitoba, where he has been transferred to a similar position. Mrs. Fowlie is remaining in Dry- den for a couple of weeks, the guest of Mr. and Mas. W. H. Brownhill. : LOCAL, NEWS | 'Wm. Richardson has returned from a holiday at the Pacific coast. Mr Richardson is most enthusiastic in his praise of the beauty of the mountain scenery and his description of the trip through the snow capped peaks of the Rockies and the mountain lakes was indeed interesting. He visited at Vancouver, Victoria and other coast cities and saw many former residents ineluding Douglas Lane and Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Clarke and family, % * *» S Barney Evans is now home from the hospital and improving daily after his serious illness. ! * #* we Surprise Party About thirty friends surprised Mrs. Henley on the occasion of hier birthday, Tuesday e:ezing.

Kelley left yesterday for Newfoundland, having been ecall- ed there owing to the illness of his mother, ; PLAY AND DANCE A HUGE SUCCESS The manner in which' the Dy- ment Dramati¢ Club staged the play "Oak Farm" in Dyment last week was little short of professional. It shall remain 'the "topic of conversation with all who saw if for some tine. We feel the actors and actresses are most deserving of a word-of* appreciation for the excellent way in which the parts were played. The role of Silas Weatherby and Sarah, his dear wife, were exceptionally well performed. Helen Trumbull, Silas' neice won not only the heart of Silas' gon Donald, but also captured the whole audience by her pretty appearence and charming dis- position. Donald as the leading character proved himself a lov- ing and faithful son, rescuing his poor old father from the scheming villian, Jonathan Prune. Cynthia Warner, a friend of the Weatherbys created many amusing scenes and proved a heart-hreaker to her two old bachelor lovers, Dr. and Spudge. The deaf Doctor and the Pro- fessor were a play in themselves and brought roars of laughter from over the foot-lights. Joel and Sally, in their puppy- love scenes were a scream and had only to appear to create applause. Wellington Troy, the wvoluble rain agent was very amu: ing.

J. Scollard The play was followed by an excellent dance in charge of Henry Knowles, while the Dy- ment Orchestra could not be surpassed in quality and quan- tity of their musie. A hearty supper was given to all by the ladies of the eommun ity. We are hoping to have many of our Dryden friends at our entertainments throughout the season, 4 there were two quartets, Meridith | The Curlers' | Banquet It is becoming customary to say, whenever any function has merits, that it was the best ever, on record or something else that was best, and so there are some who say that the First Annual Banquet of the Dryden Curling Club, held in the Pulp Mill Hall, March 19th, at nine o'clock in the evening, was the most re- markable and successful gather- ing in Dryden's History. But this is scarcely true, and why need it he? It was successful, and cvery- one had a good time. All the clergy were there, the Baptist Minister made a good spcech, the Union Minister sang a good song, the Anglican Minister pinched the writers leg, when- ever someone got a joke on hin, and the Catholic Minister, radia- ted that good smile that every- body likes. Everyone was happy nothing dragged and because we were not racing to be best, all are satisfied that it was good. A very nice souvenir program had been printed, a very good repast was served, by the cater- er, Mrs. Gordon of the Central Hotel, who had very {astily de- corated the Hall, and a mixed programme of song and speech, endured well until one o'clock. Mr. J. W. Fowlie was the Chairman, but for rasons that were not immediately obvious to himself, later on deputed his duties to Mayor Palmer Wood. Mrs. Ross Hamilton and Mrs. I. J. McPherson sang solos, Mr. McKinney played the violin, one male and the other mixed, and Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs Gibson were accompanists. Mr, H. Gammon was in charge of the musie, , TE The speakers by PS turned their remarks to curling. Dr. D. G. Dingwall's theme was "Why Sweep,"" Revd. Mec- Allister told "What he found in curling," Mr. H. Humphreys narrated, "Why he gave up curling,"" Mrs. R. Wigle confid- ed "Why Ladies ecurl,'"' and Mr. McRae and Mr, Pitt rambl- ed to the final issue of the even- ling, the presentation of a very fine club bag to Mr. J. W. Fowlie, retiring from the Presi- dency of the Club, not hecause we wanted him to, but because he is being removed to Killar- ney, Man., to manage that branch of the Royal Bank. During the course. of the even- ing, there was remarkable unani- mity amongst the speakers, that the credit built the rie Curling Rink had to listen to painful embarrassing enconiums, tha though true and sincere, harrass the modest man. However, came though it very well. It is perhaps incidental to the Banquet, to say that Mr. and Mrs. Fowlie came here two years ago, and that during two years have heen useful citizens. will be very much missed, and if Mr. Fowlie was not ready at all times to lend all the money the Bank had, he was able to "turn the request down so nicely, that. the would be borrower felt that he was wrong in asking, and the Bank right in refusing, so everyone was satisfied, and if fifty per cent of the hundred and ten people that sat down with Mr. Fowlie, to say fare- well, had been refused a loan some time or other, no one can hold it against him, whieh is the highest tribute a poor seribe can give to a departing Bank Manager. And so with real heart feel- ing we sang Aud Lang Syne. he ! SEV. A. J. Solberg Dies Suddenly The whole district was shock- ed to learn of the very un- expected death of Mr, Albert J. Solberg, Coal Contractor for the C.P.R. at Eagle River, and a very well known resident. Mr. Solberg's death oecurred very suddenly as. he was at work alone in a coal car Mon- day morning. When he did not return as usual, a search was made and his body was found in the car by fellow workmen. An investigation was made by Coroner Morison with Preineial Constable H. Wright, who pro- nounced that death was due to heart failure. The late Mr. Solberg, a native of Sweden, was forty-four years of age. He was very well known and highly respected by every- one. He was a member of (lold- en Star Lodge, AT. & A.M, Dryden, a member of the Great War Veterans Association and the Dryden Branch of the Cana- dian Legion, B.E.S.L. He is survived by his wife and two children, Lorna, age 7 and Earl, age 5, who mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father. The deepest sympathy of everyone is extended to the bereavd relatives in their very sad loss. The funeral service, in charge of Golden Star Lodge, was held Thursday afternoon at Eagle River.
