DRYDEN, ONTARIO, NOVEMBER 6th, 1931, } . No. 45. | Dryden and District _ Board of Trade Host to District Executive important Resolutions Passed At District Meeting Held Here Resolutions urging the estab- lishment of a separate Depart- ment of Game and Fisheries in the Ontario Government, .a more vigorous land settlement and colonization effort in North- western Ontario, the .establish- ment in this district of a sani- torium for tubercular patients, the appointment of a Fact-Find- ing Commission for Northwest- ern Ontario, and resolutions cov- ering several other matters of interest to this part of the Prov- ince were adopted Friday night at a meeting held here of the executive of the Northwestern Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Com- merce. i In resolving to institute steps toward the establishment of a separate Game and Fisheries Department, it was stated by members of the executive that fish and game conservation was of very great importance to the future of Northwestern Ontario. Now that unemployment and Trans-Canada highway questions were being taken care of, the time was opportune for a more' vigorous land settlement and colonization effort to be put forth, it was decided, and the Department of Agriculture will be urged to take steps to place before the thousands of men now at work in the district, by lectures and literature, the ad- vantages and advisablity of sett- * ling in North western Ontario. Land Settlement The question of land settle- ment in general was referred to the various member boards for further information regarding a plan to be followed, the type of settler desired, what assistance might be given, and for infor- mation 'concerning other local aspects. The resolution concerning the establishment of a tubercular hospital in the district was pro- posed by C. BE. King and Dr. C. C. MecCullough, delegates from the Port Arthur and Fort Wil- liam Chambers of Commerce res- pectively. The resolution recom- mends that the various member boards of the organization give their active support in the estab- lishment of the proposed hos- pital, pointing to the long dis- tance and consequent financial problem and wide separation from friends and relatives of patients under care in present institutions, and to the large number of cases in this district in need of such attention. The executive endorsed a reso- lution passed at the convention of the General Council of the North, held at Sault Ste. Marie in August, asking for a bonus of two and one-half per cent. on iron ore mined in Ontario. Fact Finding Commission It was resolved that the offi. cers of the Association should communicate with Premier Henry regarding the Facet Find- ing Commission for Northwest- ern Ontario as proposed some time ago at a joint meeting of (Continued on Page 4) BARGAIN--SIX ' PAIR MINK with cages, for sale or trade.

GIBSON, Agent "kindness and sympathy extended Obituary THE LATE MRS. CHRISTINE EULER A familiar and certainly a much respected and beloved fig- ure of Dryden passed away on} the night of the 30th of last month, in the person of Mrs. Christine Euler. She came to Dryden from Waldhof seme years ago and most of her life was. connected with this town and district, to which she was deeply attached. Death came! unexpectedly and quickly. A brief illness of a few hours dur- ation and she just passed on in peace and quiet trustfulness as a Christian can, to the larger life beyond. She was only 24 years of age. The funeral service was hell at Walé¢hof Community Hall on Monday last. The long pro- cession of cars which followed the hearse from Dryden testified to the high estimation in which the deceased was held by eciti- zens of all classes in this town. The service, conducted by the Rev. John W. Howes of the United Church, was remarkable for its dignity and beauty. The favourite hymns of the deceased, "Asleep In Jesus,"" "Rock of Ages" and Abide With Me' were sung. The funeral oration was deliv- ered by the minister, who in the course of his address referred in eloquent and moving language to the large and loving nature, tender and sympathetic, yet strong and womanly, and one who saw the humourous side of life, and whose loss they mourn- that day. Another hymn was sung and then the body was borne away, followed by a large company of mourners to the Waldhotf cemetery, where amid the fall sunshine and the varied tinted trees it was laid to rest. At the graveside the simple, but beautiful and impressive ceremony of the Rebekah Order was conducted by members of Easter Lily Lodge of which the deceased was a member, and in conclusion the hymn, "Nearer My God To Thee" was sung. Left - to mourn her are the husband and two children, Don- ald and Bernice (7 months). her mother, Mrs. Zollner, and sister, Mrs. Anna Peitch. The deceased was a member of the Junior Ladies' Aid of the United Church. A great number of Wreaths, Floral Tributes and expressions of sympathy were received by the family. Card o an Mrs. H. Hardy and family wish to thank everyone for the to them in their recent sad bereavement. Card of Thanks Mrs. V. Nystrom of Wabigoon wishes to express appreciation for the kindness and sympathy extended by everyone during her recent sad bereavement.

It appears the unfortunate man was experimenting with homemade bullets and when the gun discharged the explosion fractured his skull and caused instant death. Mrs. Rones and their two year old child were in the room when the tragedy occurred and the grief stricken woman with the child had to walk two miles to the nearest neighbour, to summon aid. Dr. Morison, coroner, arrived to the scene of the accident shortly after. The late Jacob Rones was only | thirty years of age and was a Norwegian by birth. His widow has only been out from Norway a few years and they had just one child. - The heartfelt sym- pathy of everyone is extended to the bereaved widow and child. Radio jo News Mr. Jones, of Radio Branch, Department of Marine visited Dryden this week at the request of Pronger and Armstrong, and J. BE. Gibson, town clerk. With the co-operation of Mr. Nygren, town electrician and Pronger and Armstrong's mechanic, Mr. Jenson, a thorough check-up of town wiring system was made and several sourees of interfer- ence were located and remedied. It should be remembered how- ever that wherever electricity is used to any extent there is certain to he a certain noige level whieh is particularly notice- able on nights when reception is poor. Owners of the regenerative type of set are vequested to wateh their sets closely when tuning to see that regeneration is not increased to the point where the set begins to howl as this howl is very anneying to other listeners who have modern sets. The howl from a regener- ative set will earry over the whole town of Dryden. It 1s noted that there are sev- eral Radio owners who have not vet renewed their licenses and they would be well advised to do so at once. NOTICE Arrangements have been made to inoculate some of the school children for diphtheria. The two primary rooms will be done first, it is hoped that arrange- ments will be made to have the rest of the school aged children done in the near future. For information to mothers of these children I might say 1st that the inoculation does not' hurt them when it is done, 2nd It does nnt make them sick after it is done, 3rd Tt may cause a slight redness of the arm for one day, no more, 4th It does not cost the parents anything to have their children done. 5th These inoculations are almost as certain a guarantee against your child taking diphtheria as vacein- ation is against small pox. 6th These inoculations render your child immune to diptheria for a period of 6 or T years. Further information to par- ents will be sent home with the children prior to the time that they are inoculated. H. Morison, M.O.H.

Just as soon. as we can arrange a line of 'eredit with some unsuspecting merchant: we're going to have a deep apple' pie that will be worth talking about and it will be chusk full of Ontario Spies. Dryden Pharmacy ~ Contest A ortho novel ey of contest in the form of profit sharing coupon has been inaugurated by: the Dryden Pharmacy Limited. A card bearing a number from one to fifty is given with each' purchase amounting to twenty- five cents. The idea is to save these cards, .make 'them into complete. sets, 'bearing the num- bers from 1 to 50, then they will be redeemed by the drug store, for 50 cents in cash. This appears to be -.a rather worth-while scheme, and should create considerable interest, both in saving, and trading ecards to make up the sets, which. are worth 50c to the holder. These cards are being given out in rotation so that an equal num- ber of each card will be in cir- culation. No numbers will be held back. Letter To 1 The Editor : Dryden, October 26th, 1931.
