| THE NEWSPAPER SERVICE OF THE DRYDEN DISTRICT HE RYDEN JBSERVER pa --iin COVERING THE TERRITORY ed BETWEEN FORT WILLIAM '! AND KENORA. | VOL. X. DRYDEN, ONTARIO, SEPTEMBER 23rd, 1932, No. 39. C Be "THE COLUMNIST § pt TUE ETE RE NL RE Led eo 'I was a visitor during the week at a Legion after-meeting. 'The local branch of the Legion is strong numerically, but I k suppose, like every other organi- . stion, the attendance is not one hundred per cent. The service clubs as Rotary and Ki- wanis have showed a wisdom that might be well to follow. They stress attendance. Favoured as an honorary rember, I was especially privi- eged to be a guest at the mon- thly social function. I did not count the heads, but there must have been thirty present and everything was harmonious and pleasant. The Mayor was there, and 1 was rather interested in what he had to say. It appears that either of himself or from what he had heard, he felt bound to test out the opinion of the Leg- ion, definitely and squarely, re- lative tc the Memorial, so often spoken of in Dryden and the vicinity, and so often partly con- ceived, and just as often drop- ped from sight, if not, memory. It was recalled that at a meet- ing held in the Town Hall in March, said Mayor promised to write to every organization, ask- ing two representatives from each, to attend a gathering in April. It was thought that this would be the best plan to test public opinion. It appeared very plainly that the Mayor had not followed in- structions and of course, various rumours were afloat. To the Mayor, the most absurd story was that he was personally opposed to any Memorial, and therefore, was silently blocking progress. His non was that he "was not so sure that the Legion stood for the Memorial, and be- cause of this, was hesitant, and to this end was anxious to get all rumour unembroiled, in other words, not to be fettered by any division of opinion. In no uncertain motion the Legion has now put itself be hind the scheme, at least that is how I understand it. And the] Mayor has promised that no more will he be found asleep at the switch. 'When this cleared away, an .nformal discussion took plaes as to the form of the Memorial. provided it took form, and fur ther, whether the Tor wn alone should undertake 'the project, or whether - the whole country-side should be included. This debate concluded with the opinion that because so many of the enlisted men were from the District, Dryden alone point. Always with the idea that plans were rather premature, and perhaps out of place, but because of the interest evoked, the various ideas of the type of Remembrance, were interesting. "One during conception, seemed to catch the fancy. This came as a contrast to the cairn that had been in many people's minds. Some openly expressed themsel- ves, that a cairn was so simple Ca inexpensive, that the Legion of itself could look after this but rather that a Memorial sub- scribed to by an entire District, should be a magnificently useful thing. That a library and rest room would be of community service, beneficial to the living. and a fitting tribute to the dead. : And I thought of the depres '® sion, and of our poverty, and T said, "Would the people rise te this sacrifice?" And as I walked hors dream- ing, because it was sleepy-time, when I said, ('Good Bye," I visioned, a compact solid Mem-| ~ yorial building, paying tribute to hose who died that we might ive, in the comfort it was giv- ing to those women and children from the outside, who come' to shop, and visit us. If the idea is crazy, it will merit the reprobation of the Committee that is being called. * On the other hand, if it takes shape, it will be worth ihe wait- ng: would miss the contribution from]| ASSOC.
