-and received real support, "ed that manager Dusty Warren The ryden VOL. IX DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JUNE 12th, 1931. No. 24. DRYDEN PLAYERS ARE KNOCKING THE BALL HIGH WIDE--- AND HANDSOME If, after losing two straight games 9-1 and 24-4 respectively, the boys from the old mining town haven't lost all their en- thusiasm for baseball it will be a surprise to everybody. At Wabigoon, Woodsworth was absent (Out watering some fires around Dinorwic,) and Wabigoons relief pitcher was hit hard for nine runs. Elliot pitch- ing for Dryden fanned the first nine men and was given wonder- ful support and able to quite easily hold Wabigoon down to one run. - At Dryden, June 10th, the Dryden boys started off with six runs in the first inning. The faster Woodsworth pitched them the further the boys slammed them. It's getting so that unless a player makes a home run he has no chance of getting his name in the paper. Mitchell playing second base for Dryden, and real good baseball at every game this season, knocked a home run over the left field fence, he was foolish enough to bet with somebody that he'd send another one over but he didn't and we don't know how much he 'lost. Oliver Anderson knocked a nice one over the fence, ran around the bases, and |' then found out it was a foul ball. He picked up his miniature tele- graph pole again and this time straightened her out for one of the longest home runs ever seen in Dryden, and it didn't have to go over the fence. Barber, pitch-' ed a splendid game for Dryden ex cept from centre field. ie 3 To even things up it is expect- and president Joe Russel will arrange future games so that 'Wabigoon plays either the Town or Mill team, which, in either case will be a credit to Wabi goon if they can win.

After all had fon due justice to the repast, Mrs. Geo. Wice rose and on behalf of the Senior Aid thanked the young ladies very kindy for their hospitality, which all had thoroughly enjoy- ed, and hoped that they might have the pleasure of entertain- ing them in the near future. All went home feeling they had got to know wesch other a little better and had spent a very pleasant evening together. © Miss Alma Larson i The most tragic aceident that has ever occurred in this District happened at the Minnitaki eross- ing Thursday morning, when Wm. Lyle and his aged uncle John Lyle were instantly killed | and the formers three children inujred when the Ford Sedan they were driving in was struck by an Eastbound freight, the third child dying last evening in the hospital as the result of in- juries. The dreadful accident occurr- ed at eight-thirty, as Wm. Lyle, driver of the ill fated car, wag conveying his 'children to the Minnitaki sehool. It was raining at the time and it may be that this obscured his vision for he apparently did not see the ap- proaching train and ran right into the path of the engine. The car was demolished and the two men instantly killed. The three children in the back seat of the car, Bric, eleven Robert, ten and Joan, eight, were all seriously injured. Joan's injuries, a frac- tured skull and thigh later pp. TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUBS FIRST SUMMER ~~ MEETING A good sized crowd of the Club's members attended the May meeting held at Oxdrift.

Scouting helps boys to become better and 'more useful citizens. If scouting continues to flo the same as it is doing, the fu ure generations will be more olf reliant, observant, and truast- worthy. Of course, some boys and some men of today are nat- ural scouts and they always stand forward as prominent figures in any gathering. The first Dryden Troop give their sincere thanks to Mr. Bail- ey for loaning the Strand Theatre to the Local Association for the picture. On Friday, June 3rd, the Seouts and Guides with the Brownies and Cubs went to Edyes and spent a very enjoy- able evening. Thanks again is due to those who lent their cars to convey the boys and girls out to the farm. Mrs. Edye must have spent a leng time in pre- paring eats for such a large famn- ily. On Saturday, June 20th, the Patrol leaders and Seconds hope to pass their tests as First Class Scouts by hiking to Wabi- goon and making camp and re- turning on Sunday. A. Kela.
