There was no one evidently able to answer that all could shrug their shoulders, and with "'Nothing."' Too bad of course that we passed through the fat years, now simply have to do something in a lean one. This is an aside, it was not mentioned at the Board of Trade.

MEETING The February meeting of the Dryden Women's Institute took the form of Girandmother's Day. Most of the entertainment was themselves, and was thoroughly enjoyed. After a brief business period (for such things have to be, even on such an auspicious occasion) a charming duet 'Juan- ita' was sung by Mesdames Mad- to an encore with "Flow Gently! Sweet Afton." two old time While various alterations in cos- tume were being effected, Mrs pected resident of Dryden pass- ed away this week in the person of Dryden smith. Mr. Smith's death came as a great shock to vis friends, for although he had suffered for years from a chronic bronchial ailment, called silicosis, which he contracted while work- ing in the mines, he really had only been confined to bed for about ten days and it was ex- pected that he would be around again as he had always tone after attacks of Dbronchitus. The strain, however, was too great for his heart and death came quietly just after midnight Sun- day. Born in Bellevil e, Ontario, on February 8th, 1863, the Tate Samuel Dryden Smith moved with his parents to Sudbury where he was educated and later engaged in the mining in- dustry in that famous metal found district. While working at Coppercliff, he met and mar- ried Mary Ann Sweeney in the year 1889. Ten years later Mr. and Mrs. Smith moved to the Lake of the Woods, where Mr. Smith was associated with the Regina Mine and other well known properties in that and the Rainy River District. It wag ear ly in 1900 that Mr. Smith moved his family to Dry- "den and he took charge of the Laurentian Mine in the, Manitou Section at Gold Rock. From that time on he has been intim- ately associated with all mining developments in the District and his knowledge of minerals and mining methods made his ser- vices and advice much sought after. His death is a distinet loss to the mining fraternity and his great faith in the Manitou was admirable to those who knew him. Like Moses of old, entrance was denied him to en- Joy the realities of his vision. Besides his bereaved widow, Dryden Smith is survived by one son, Baden of Dryden, and two daughters, Mamie. Mrs. Geo. Fraser of Sacremento, Cal., and Elinor, Mrs. L. Robinson of Dryden. A daughter, Beatrice, diedl in 1919 and Clara, the eld- est, died in 1929. An infaut Robinson's educational talk on | Current Events was given and then followed old fashioned selec- tions by the '""'Grandmother's Kitchen Band." Poke bonnets, lacy fichus and large aprons all i spoke of other days, and the re- markable instruments, such as a wash boiler cello and a frying pan banjo took the fancy of the audience. We heard "Daisy walks of New York" id other old songs. Everybody joined in a guess. ing contest which was won by Mrs. J. Scott and then delightful refreshments were served hy the Music Committee, under the con- vei] Town of Dryden Tenders for Wood Tenders will be received by the andersigned antil March 10th next for 30 cords of good sound dry body tamarac wood to be de- ivered and piled at the Town | Hall by March 31st next.

Dryden, ONT Dear Sir: -- You have no doubt already a heard of the official announ: ment made by Ford in regard to the new cars which will shortly be in production. We have the following information, which will doubtless interest you. Ist The major offering for 1932 will be a new eight cylinder V-type motor. 2nd We will continue build- ing a 4-cylinder car--an improv- ed Model A--which is stated to be the "PERFECT FOUR."' 3rd The Ford V type eight and the Model A four will have roomier bodies of wholly new design; longer wheelbase; lower hung ch assis; and heavier frames than anything in the low priced field. 4th No retail prices have as vet been announced, but we have been assured the prices will be such as to induce free buying on the part of the buying public, and will be the lowest in atuto- mobile history, quality consider- ed. Oth The chassis is so built that the four and eight cylinder engines may be interchanged at will. We are getting ready to sta production sometime this month, with the first public showing early in March. An interview with Henry Ford which came out in an extra edition of the Detroit News under date of Feb- ruary 11th is startling, and indi- cates Mr. Ford has made up his mind to take very active control of the low priced field. OLE PULLS A FAST ONE ON THE JUDGE A Swede, a friend of Hector MecGregor's was being examined in a case in a own where the defendent was accused of break- ing a plate glass window with a large stone. He was pressed to tell how hig the stone was, bus he could not explain. "Was it as big as my fist?" asked the nervous judge, who had taken the examination over fom the lawyers in hope of gett- ing some results. "Tt ban bigger, replied. "Was it as big as my twa fists?" "It ban bigger." "Was it as big as my head?" "It. ban about as long, but not so tick," repied the Swede.
