OXDRIFT ; BEDWORTH MINNITAKI % WABIGOON EAGLE RIVER 5 DINORWIC WALDHOF fing © DYMENT VERMILION BAY a IGNACE QUIBELL RICHAN VOL. XI. DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JULY 7th, 1933, No. 27. ® THE COLUMNIST h ¢ Well so insistent have been the requests, after my last week's threat to found a new Party, that I am going to do it. This new Party is now born, not with any flourish of trumpets, because we shouldn't make a noise, but because we haven't any money to buy trumpets. I have an old French horn around the house, that the mother of one of my boys persuaded me to buy for! him, when he seemed musically in- clined, but it is now badly battéred. It cost about sixty dollars, and I tried to sell it one time for five dol- lars, but the family intérvened. Any- how it isn't a trumpet. You know how it is with families. We have a lot of old snowshoes and skis, that clutter up the place and ometimes I find a buyer, but I am always knocked on the bud, or nipp- ed in the head, or anyhow, done to what every patient father finds done to him, by an intolerant family. Then while I am on the subject of trumpets, we have a slide trombone, that was bought for another boy. that was encouraged by some villain to play in the band. This trombone sticks in the slide, and is apt to play 'D sharp when E flat is wanted, so like the instument we were stuck there. I think I could have borrowed bag- pipes, but even my powers of imag- ination, could never make, trumpets. Anyhow, we are off. Now, I have some misgivings, be- cause Providence has a strange way of handling matters. Illustration: "The London Conference and the wheat restriction." A few crop fail- ures and restriction talk ceases. Then Roosevelt or Bennett have made a semblance of superficial prosperity: wheat is up, stocks are up, and if it keeps on going the way it is, then Hoover won't get a sniell nor Mac- Kenzie King a look in. : And Bennett may. yet confound the prophets of election. So there is just the slightest wabble to the new party. Not.necessarily a deflection of purpose, but a sort of gyroscopic hesitation. A little sham or fictitious prosperity may make some of my friends a trifle luke- warm. That's the trouble, the near- by fleshpots look awfully inviting. But even if wheat goes to a dollar, and pulp wood six dollars a cord, and Government camp wages eight seventy-five a month, there will still be the inequality that miy party seeks to abolish. We call ourselves Altruists, the disciples of Altruism. This means that we have regard for ithe interests of others. We believe that this benevolence toward others, will in turn make them kindly towards us, and that by this principle, happiness will come to all citizens. We haven't sounded out the Gov- ernment yet. We have 'an idea that we will be allowed on the air, ahead of Judge Rutherford, but of course, this remains to be seen. There is nothing Communistic about us, and we don't believé that Russia would give us a red cent for our kind of propoganda. The Government may lock us up as lunatics, if so, we shall, most likely, convert our warders, atten- dants and superintendants. I am getting so enthused over my subject that I am beginning to say, "We," as if I had a party already. Sc far there is no "We," and I must not exaggerate. To the query: "Why do we need another party, when we have so many?' 1 answer in order. What has the Conservative Party done for vou, what the Liberal, what the Labour, what the Progressive? You notice I do not mention the C.C.F., because it has had no chance, and anyhow it is more closely modelled to my new Party than any other. If any of these Partiés have given you 48 hours a week steady work to this day and date, I have nothing to say. But have they? If T can show you 48 hours a week work, then palpably I have justifica- tion for my new Party, but right here is my absurd offer. I do not offer you 48 hours a week work, but only 25 hours, but this is the funny thing. I will see that you are paid just as well for 25 hours, would have been for the 48. This 'is the mystery, so save your patience, until next week, when the principles of the new Altruistic Party will be Ennounced, not, as you; | ee Announcements [CY CA Ts Announcements in this column are charged at the rate of 50c per inch, per week, with a minimum charge cf Z3c¢ When accompanied by oruer tor posters, coming eveuts are pranted;free of char ge.

Mrs. Pitt congratulated the thres; winners and stressed the great value] of music in one's life. Miss Boiteau was then presented with a handsome boudior clock and a magnificent bouquet of flowers as a mark of appreciation on behalf of her pupils for the untiring interest taken them. The presentation was made by Victoria Strutt. The entire program was most en-| joyable and the announcing of the various numbers was capably carried | out by George Withrow. Those taking part in the recital were as follows: Vivian Wice, Ruth Winters, M. J. Humphreys, Clair Ernewein, George Withrow, Doris Harris, Robena Wice, Audrey Winter- bottom, Dorothy Withrow, Barbara Humphreys, Marjorie Crawley, Pat- ricia Wright, Vernon Pronger, Martha Nelson, Joyce Winterbottom, Mildred Ripley, Emma Strutt, Victoria Strutt, Marybelle Wood, Eileen Wigle, Tessie Chipman and Ines Sfreddo.

"What's wrong wn the holidays?' Twenty years or so ago, Dryden and District depended primarily upon agriculture. The population was considerably less than at present, practically no roads to speak of, and money no more abundant than now. Holidays, Xmas, Fair Day, Labor Day,--and most important of all-- July 1st, Dominion Day--were the outstanding events of the year. On the latter three, the Fair Ground was the centre of attraction for huge crowds of enthusiastic citizens, and patriotic country visitors to witness a full day of exciting sporting and athletic events--horse racing, running races, hurdle races, bicycle races, jumping, tug of war (town vs coun- try), football and baseball. In the evening aquatic events, swimming, canoe races (Indian vs Whites), power-boat racing, finishing up the evening with a creditable display of fireworks, much to the delight of the children. The crowd of spectators would stretch from the dock, across the bridge to the warehouses the other side of the river. Everybody went home happy and contented, with a feeling that they had done their duty to Dominion Day and Canada. Constrast, then and now; wonder, on Saturday last, the heavens wept, and when not weeping, threatened to do so at any minute. The responsibility for happier holi- days rests with the citizens, mater- ially assisted by those who represent them. "Happier Holidays," an ideal subject for your brilliant "Columnist." Unfavorable weather somewhat marred Dryden's modest Dominion Day program of celebrations. Thanks to the generosity of the merchants of the town, the social committee of the Legion was enabled to success- fully carry out at the Fair Ground--- mainly for the benefit of the younger set, and some grown ups--a program of events; foot races, wheelbarrow race, egg and spoon race, three-leg- ged. race, sack races and bicycle races--the details of 'which as near as could be ascertained were--adults, 76 yards dash, Jack Hie 1st, Bob Robertson 2nd, a close finish; 75 yards, ladies, Mrs. Brampton, won easily; 'bicycle race, boys over 14 years, Cyril Wright 1st, N. Hardy 2nd, Clifford McGuire 3rd; under 14 vears, Doug. Hatch 1st; bicycle race. girls, under 14 years, Jean Noble; over 14 years, Grace Taylor. The horse race resulted in Phil Horsley's grey mare running away from. the rest of the field. A tug-of- war, 1lst.vs 2nd Pack Wolf Cubs, was won by the first named. In the tug-of-war, men vs women, the con- testants were aided by a large por- tion of the spectators, no result being given. During the nut and candy scramble the Legion president was overwhelm- ed by the kids, while Comrade Dear- den was totally submerged, coming out a wreck, and given a category ot C3. Combining all the circumstances, it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. All who assisted are to be warmly thanked and heartily congratulated. At the Pulp Mill Hall, from 9 p.m. until midnight, a large crowd indul- ged in one of the happiest dances of the year. Seldom, if ever has there been a more joyous gathering. Every- one was loud in the praise of the music, supplied by Mrs. I. Beath's "Snappy Five Orchestra," it was great. The athletic program and dance was held under the auspices of the Dryden Branch of the Canadian Legion, the proceeds going to' assist boys to a two weeks outing in camp. Contributors in merchandise and cash for prizes were: Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Stansfield, Mr. Ripley, Mr. Jack, Dryden Pharmacy, Harris's Drug Store, L. M. Beath, F. Foulis, S Thorsen, T. Proudfoot, R. TI. Pronger, Alfred Pitt, O. H. Pronger, J. Armstrong, and the Dryden Legion. To the above ladies and gentlemen for their kindly assistance, warm appreciation and thanks are sincerely given.
