The Dryden Obser a VOL. IX. DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JUNE 26th, 1931. No. 26. MARRIED BOW TO SINGLES On June the 18th the Married and Singles held their second game before a colorful crowd and this time the tie was broken and the Singles won 8-7. As before, Upton started the ball rolling and brought in the first run for the Married. The Singles came back to tie the, score, but in the third inning, Dryden's '"'Babe Ruth' in the person of Oliver Anderson knocked his third home run in the same number of games, this put the Married in the lead. The Singles however were not to be found napping and, although the Married boys soon had a total of five runs, by careful playing they tied the score. For awhile it looked as though the score coud not be broken, and when it was the Married did it. The eventful ninth was again at hand and the Married started the inning with a one run lead of 6-5. The Singles were up to bat and with one man on bases Elliott knocked a beauty over left field fence for a home run. Clempson got on the bases, and, as usual, was soon around to third, he got in on a nice hit. 'When the Married got up to bat they were facing a two run de- fieit. They managed to get in one run but were unable to tie the score. The game was almost an exact duplicate of the last, even the score would have been the same but Warren, umpiring, under ths impression that Swanson inter- fered with the ball as he ran to third, called him out. To any- one standing in an umpire's pos- ition, it may have looked as such, MeNeil advised Warren that there was no interference but it was too late then to change the decision. . Barber pitched nice ball for the singles and received good support from his team. Upton pitched well for tha Married and also received nics support, especially Adair at cen- tre field. Hughie caught a couple that were a credit to any fielder. The game was hard fought, even verbaly and seemed to satis- fy the fans. | QUIBELL Mrs. T. H. Crawley is erecting a new building on her farm.

The party left their headquarters at 8 a.m. with their pack-sacks on their backs and arrived in Wabi- goon about 3 p,m. As this hike was not an endurance contest or a race it was performed in quite a leisurely manner. A stop was made every hour and at 11 a.m. the boys had lunch at Thunder Lake and although it rained quite hard, W. Baker and R. Hawke were successful in.mak- ing & pot of tea. At 12-noon they started on the second half of the journey and arrived at the big bridge in time to escape another shower of rain. Theboys noticed some fish and asked if they might try catching sone, on permission being given, W. Rutter was so anxious that he went in head first, but he caught his fish and it was the largest one there. Some of the boys showed signs of tiredness on the last mile, but they would not ac- cept help with their packs, neith- er would they accept a ride from a passing wagon. Everyone finished the journey on their feet. The supplies arrived soon after the boys and Bert Watt and Tom Crawley prepared an excellent supper of bacon and chips. The boys were able to excercise their talents for tor- ture on the Scout-Master. Sun- day was spent quietly by a short hike in the morning and canoe trips in the afternoon. Nearly all the boys proved to be quite expert in handling a canoe and in swimming. The party was brought back to Dryden by Mr. Aaron on Sunday evening. A. Kela.

Hover. pass a car on a hill... oF carve Divigion Court Wednesday. Experienced drivers of motor cars have learned that there is one rule of the road which cannot be violated without danger to life and limb . . . these seasoned drivers always keep in line when the road ahead is obscured. Hill tops and curves are blind spots on the highway. You can't see what is coming toward you . . . and there's almost always sure to be another car coming around the curve or over the hill, The one safe rule is to stay on your side of the road ... the right Every time you take a chance that the road ahead may be clear, you jeopardize your own safety and the approaching motorist may be made an innocent victim of your carelessness . . . surely a heavy price to pay in conscience and cash, After all you can observe the "Hill and Curve rule" for a whole season without losing as much as sixty minutes' time all told . . = ONTARIO DEPARTMENT of HIGHWAYS GEO.
