During the great daylight saving time was made national for the chi f pur- pose of food production. Then the war passed, and the Palia- ment of Canada did not put fast time into effect again.

Twica have the people here voted in referen- dums on the question and twier has there Ww a good majority polled in favor. Kingston pre- ferred summer time from the first Sunday in May urtl the irst Monday in September (Lab- Day), but when the lerger or cities like Toronto and Montreal decided on the period from the last Sunday in April until the last Sunday in September, King- gton followed suit so that there would he less confusion.

The reason for this is that Henri Durant, the founder of the Red Cr:ss, freely acknowledged that Flor ence Nightingale dnsp'red him with the great ideal which was later realized by the organiza- tion of the Red Cross. Florence Nightingale of English parents in Italy, on May 12th. father, was born Florene-, 182). Her who was a highly edu- cated gentleman. took great care in directing the education of hiz daughters. The result of his training was to be seen throughout her life. He taught her to think through her pro- blems, and her success was due to this as much as to her en- thusiasm and devotion to those who were suffering. [n 1854 Florence Night'ngale volunteed to take a force of nurses to the Crimea War. When she arrived at Seutari she found military hospitals filthy. Tiere were no pails, mo coap, no clothes, no means of washing, no handages, no hospital supplies. Her first task was to provide proper food for her paticn's. Next she set up a laundry, ant goon hundreds of shirts and other articles were washed every week. One of the terrible things, worse than the wounds, was the ravages of Cholera. The men were dying one after another, Land a steady stream of s ret h- ers were carrying in the sick and taking out the dead. Florence Nightingale worked might and day, she used to walk the wards at night lighting her way with a little lamp. So she hecame to be known as 'The Lady with the Lamp."" No s on- er had she organized the work than she herself fell ill with the fever and although her life was caved. she was an invalid for the rest of her days. From her couch, almost to the day of her death in her ninety-first yeu, she laboured unceasinely for lm- "proving the conditions of the sick and suffering. Today the Canadian R_d Cross Society is holding high the torch laid down by this noble woman. The peace time programme of the Red Cross has heen of im- mense henefit to those living distant from Hospital and medi- cal service. We in Dryden are among those who are enjoying the untiring and unselfish work of this organization. The build- ing of the Dryden Hospital, the first outpost of its kind, was undertaken by the Red Cross who also bore more than half the expense of construction, and 'ever since has met any deficit in all paying out on our hehalf the large sum of $28,00.00. Now the parent organization is finding the call for help from more of the vemote d'stricts greater than their {firan-ial abilities are a to cope with, they would at least Tike Dryden assume the ST of tak- ing care of any future deficiy in the operating expenses of it's hospital. By so doing it> will release some money to he used for places where at the prisent they have not any medical help. The Red Cross came to our help when we were in need, and to- day we can safely say that sev- al of our citizens would be in the grave-yard were it not for the aid provided by the Red (ross Hospital. May 12th is Hospital Day throughout the American Con- tinent when people will give their voluntary contributions to help the work of Hospitals. Whe local Branch of the Red Cross will also make an appeal to the public of Dryden and District. Shall we say to the Red Cross Society, "thanks for the $28. 000.00 hut let those who have no medical help get it hest way they can?" or shall we chow our thanks by helpin ng the fin- ances to the very hmi The Society is anxious te set 500 persons who will become mem- bers by paying a membership fee of $1.00, surely out of u IMPORTANT If you have a child that will be of school age by September 1st, hand the name and age of the child to the secretary, A.J.

COUNCIL MEETING The regular monthly wmeeting of the Council was held on Mon- day evening, with Mayor Wood presiding. Messrs Tew and Millroy wait- ed on the council asking for a grant for the Agricultural Society and on the moton of Councillors Miles and Pronser, the society was granted the sum of $100.00 for prize money. Daylight saving was d's ussed at some length and the Council felt that no action should he taken regarding the enforcement of Daylight saving in Dryden until the general opinisn of all citizens had been ascertained and accordingly it was deeded to have Thos. Cunningham eit- culate a petition to de'e mine whether or not citizens were in favour of putting Daylig't suv- ing time into effect from May 30th to Sept 26th. The petition is now being circulated and will be presented to the Council witli- in gh days. The Council was advised that the special car carrying mem- bers of the Port Arthur and Fort William Board of Trade would visit Kenora shortly, and it was decided to invite these delegates as well as members of the Kenora Board of Trade to visit and banquet here on the re the turn from Kenora con- ference. - Tt was moved by Cinecillors Pronger and Wright that the business tax of $27.00, assessed to the Liquor Control Board be cancelled. Accounts to the amount of $6158.97 were passed for payment on the meot'on of (Councillors Pronger and Wright. Tt was moved by Councilors Wright and Proudfoot, {ht the ('P.R.

Perhaps this communityis learning the art of living and working Together at last, at any vate, that is the seeret of suceess. The play presented last F'ri- day might in the Community Hall, reflected great credit on hoth producer and players. "The Path across the Hill"' is a striking play with lots of colour; 'movement and humor within it, and the writer can say quite honestly, it is the best production he has seen put on by Oxdrift players. Despite the attractions at Waldhof, a good crowd welecom- ed the players, and fun - and good humor were wanifest all through. The scenery was at- ractive, the characters well chosen, and everybody measured up spendidly. For the benefit of the publie, may I say this play is coming to the Strand Theatre. Dryden, on the evening of May 12th, It deserves a full theatre. The prices are popular, 35¢ and 25e, and you will undoubtedly get your mohey's worth on this oe- casion. : The proceeds are devoted to the Oxdrift United Church Building Fund.
