8 The Dryd cin --_ VOL. IX. DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JULY 10th, 1931. _ = No. 28. Local Students Win Prizes in Essay Contest Early in April, the Ontario Safety League announced a ser- ies of cash prizes for composi- | tions from the pupils of the gehools of Ontario on the follow- ing subject: "What Can I (My- gelf) Do To Prevent Highway Accidents." Six hundred dollars in prizes 'was given and the competitors were divided into two classes, A class, pupils of twelve years and under and B class, pupils from thirteen to sixteen years. In the latter class, Miss Annis Makuch, of Dryden Public school came fourteenth out of the whole province and won a cash prize of $2.00, and Elsie Asplund and Ines Sfreddo won awards of $1.00 each. Dominion Day At Waldhof In spite of the gloomy start on the morning of the 1st, the weather considered the great preparations the Progress- ive Association of Waldhof had made for Dominion Day and re- warded the hard workers with fine weather in the afternoon. By one o'cock the first visitors on foot and by cars drifted in and in a short time as if by magic there was a splendid crowd gathered, and then after that the Bus arrived with an- other crowd. People were there all the way from Dryden to Quibell and Gilbert, Edison and Kenora. man A refreshment stand was pro- vided and there was everything the heart could desire for such a day. It was a happy scene, every- where smiling faces and hearty greetings as friends and ae- quaintances met. Happy kids attempting to climb the greasy pole for prizes hung high, young and old racing with an egg on a small spoon or throwing balls at a collapsible nigger head, girls and boys running the pole and gsereams of laughter as men and boys tried to ride the tricky "mand," all for valuable prizes. Little ones not old enough to participate were compensated with sweets, and happiness pre- vailed where ever you looked. Oxdrift and Waldhof Baseball teams staged an exciting game which ended in favour of Wald- hof. The various prize drawings rewarded the lucky omnes with handsome prizes. The glorious day ended with 'a well attended dance in the hall and the entire day was an out- standing success. The association wishes to ex- press thanks to everyone who assisted in any way to make the day such a perfect and memor- ses Announcements ges A meeting of the Chautauqua Committee will be held in the Council Chambers on Friday.
