Ie was sixty-six years of age and be- sides his widow is survived by cne brother in England. The funeral was held from St. Matthews Church, Rev. T. Cann officiating, and was very largely attended by friends who extend their heartfelt sympathy to the TLereaved widow. OXDRIFT NEWS The Oxdrift Women's Institute held their monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. H. Pateman, seventeen being present. After business was discussed, Miss 'Wheeler, Provincial Distriet Nurse, gave an interesting talk on diets. Lmneh was served by Mrs. Pateman. The next meet- ing will be held at the home of Mrs. J. Spalding. As this is to be the annual meeting, every one is requested to attend.

Saturday evening a = large crowd attended the illustrated lecture on the "Passion Play dt Ober-Ammergeau" given by Pro. Fletcher Argue of Winnipeg. The chairman for the evening, Mr. Arthur: Kewley, 'was intro- duced by Rev. J. W. Howes. Mr. Kewley is in this District for the Summer months to serve the territory Bast and West of Dry- den, as student of the United Church of Canada. Migs F. McFadden first on the program, reciting "The Highway Mare." Mr. Howes was called on for a solo and was accompanied by Miss V. Bailey of Dryden. Both these numbers were well received by the audience. After being introduced by Mz. Howes, Prof: Argue proceeded with his lecture, which proved to be very interesting. The evening was brought to a close by a social half hour and lunch. The Young People are putting on a play this year again. The date as yet has not been decided on, but will be in the very near future. The Sr. Ladies' Aid are holding their Annual Country Fair on June 1st. Further an- nouncements will be given later. MINNITAKI NEWS Sots three rn men spent a dime each for admission, some three dozen ladies and children brought a dime's worth of lunch, and one and all spent a very jolly evening in. the school here last Saturday. - The evening opened with a short impromptu program, Mas- ter Erie Lyle carrying out the duties of chairman very nicely. The Maple Leaf was sung by all (at least it was supposed to.be sung by all). Following this item came some very "Good Advice" by Karl Grossberndt, which was quite appropriate for this tricky weather. Tiny Shirley Lyle came next with a verse about a "Very Little Girl,' and I think that it would be impossible to find another so small, to recite. We stood her on a chair. Four boys then rendered their defin- ition of a 'Milkmaid Song "' They were not quite as feminine was the ERR RAR RRR RARE BEAUTIFY Your HOME & WITH THE FURNITURE YOU CAN BUY AT THE DRYDEN FURNITURE MART At these Reasonable Prices New Beds, complete New Felt Mattresses Dressers, from ............

Daisy Phillbrook then lamented the everlasting chore that the ladies detest, 'Sewing on Shirt Buttons,"" and so realistic was the lamentation, I saw several ladies shudder. ; *'The Best Place to Hold a Fair' was described next by Bobby Lyle, and while perhaps the ladies did not agree, the men certainly did. The next number was a 'Song of the Cowhoy"' by Mrs. Ruete and her guitar, which everyone enjoyed. We would have enjoyed another. Mr. Howell then delighted us, the older ones especially, with a very old timer about "dack Johnson Going to Sea,'"' and like the present times he went down deep, but we: hope that the times will come up again, as Jack did. Perhaps the "hit" of the even- ing was the duet rendered by Mrs. Ruete and Mr. Phillbrook, we certainly were all surprised. Mrs. Ruete led and was some- what at a loss, as she had no idea of the song Mr. Phillbrook was going to sing, but, he, how- ever, true to character, fell into line and they were three strikes and out on the third line of the "Sidewalks of New York," Oh no, they did not forget the words, but the amused and sur- prised faces of the audience made them just laugh, and very soon the audience caught on and laughed too. By the way we suggest that you try laughing and singing at the same time. It is a great Spring tonic. HEven the chair placed between these artists could not stop them sing- ing in harmonizing tomes, 'When the Moon Comés Over the Moun- tains,"' and even the bow -at the end of the act was some-what like the going dowm of the moon. We have heard since that these artists have been approached to sing on the air, and we hope that they will do so, for we must agree that we like to lis- en to them better than the bor- ing adds. : Teddy Phillbrook came next, and can be congratulated upon having such a good natured Dad, for as he sat "Reading the Newspaper' he asked the big- gest' stumpers, so tough were (Continued on Page 3) L.
