"Girl Guides In Camp of the First Dryden Company held their third annual camp at 1-E-1,-two and one half miles west of Vermilion Bay. This cosy camp, kindly loaned to us by The Guides the D.N.D.,, is an ideal spot for a summer outing. Despite the tearful weather of Thursday, August 17th, twenty-three Guides and seven Rangers and lead- ers arrived in camp. The Guides were divided into. four patrols and occupied huts at the west end of camp named respectively The Puss- ery, Chatterboxes, Keep Smiling and Campers' Paradise. The Rangers and @- took up their quarters at the other end of the village in huts later named the Old Folks' Home and The Snoozers. Herein lived those with the responsibilities of camp: Mrs. Mercer, who so willingly acted as camp matron, Lieut. Robinson as Camp Commandant, Lenore MacRae, our most able and willing cook and chorus-leader, Ally Malmborg, our most efficient nurse and cocoa-mix- er, Rose Reany, who ably assisted Guide 'Hsther Mercer in' her duties as Lifeguard, Freda Perduss, patrol leader and assistant musician, and Dorothy Taylor, keeper of the store Louse keys and the Lieutenant's handy man. To continue. with: Thursday: After the arrival of the truck, the time : till 5.30 was spent in 'getting sett- led," but after supper we discovered just how excellent was the play- ground provided by Camp 1-E-1. That evening many young Guides enjoyed their first Camp Fire, aye and some took part in Pussery rendered a splendid pro- gramme for such short notice. Cocoa having been served it was "away to bunks" and it took almost an hour to settle in them, but later nights showed that Guides could be asleep fifteen minutes after Camp Fire.

Each day following kept much to the same program with always some- thing different. Saturday we prac- tised Morse and found the highway a suitable signalling area for we could be far enough away from each other that yelling was inconvenient.

CO-OPERATIVE NOTES [ Some years ago a teacher in the Dryden Continuation School told his pupils that 80% of the people do not trouble to think at all, 10% of them think they think, and the remaining 10% actually think. Those who comprise the last 109% are the really successful men and women of the world. Thought is one of the essentials in the building of every great enter- prise. The great Co-operative Move- ment is composed of some millions of men and women who have learnt to think for themselves. That is what the Co-operative Movement has taught them to do. They realize that thought is productive of many bene- fits and when that thought is or- ganized co-operatively, they are able to distribute those benefits among themselves instead of allowing them to remain in the possession of a few shrewd thinkers and the result is a society of people reaping a harvest for their own enjoyment, .each in accordance with the amount of | loyalty with which each has support- | ed the Movement.: & £5) SHED 1) SE) SHES.

For the third time this season Dryden on Monday split the honors with their opponents in exhibition series. On the holiday the locals, playing hosts to Murillo Mud Hens, fell by the wayside in the first game and allowed the visitors to run riot and score 21 runs, replying with 4. The second game, however, was a different calibre as the locals settled down to play the type of ball which has won them repute in the past, with the result that Murillo Mud Hens were handed the most decisive shut-out defeat of the year. The score in the second game was 10-0 in favor of Dryden. Smart pitching, smart fielding and heavy hitting featured the game especially on the part of the locals. Following the second game the players of both teams were guests of the Dryden Baseball Club at an informal ban- auet in the Dryden Hotel. Greetings were exchanged with a promise of further encounters next spring when it is expected that communication by road will greatly reduce the ex- pense of travel. Mr. Alfred Pitt in informal and witty remarks complimented the boys on their smart display.

Before well-packed stands the 'Dryden boys took a severe lacing at 'the hands of the visitors with the first ball pitched. 'Upton's offerings much to their lik- starting Finding ing, the boys from the Lake Head clouted the pill to all parts of the pasture, generally picking the spot conspicuous by the player's absence. Eight runs in the first inning was enough to tuck the first game honors 'away. as the visitors played sound 'defensive baseball behind Alex Hill, 'their star hurler. ( 'an exhibition by himself, his swanky Hill proved to be style, cheerful grin and mound ex- perience appealing greatly to the fans, and inspiring confidence in his team mates. Following the disastrous start the locals held the visitors scoreless until the sixth inning, when two runs counted. The seventh proved another landslide for the visitors, nine runs crossing the plat- ter before Barber, who was called to the rescue by Upton, retired the third man. Two more in the eighth ended the scoring for the visitors. Retaliation consisted only of two runs in the fifth and another brace in the seventh. The visitors dished out a snappy brand of: ball, and al- though the locals tried hard they were not given much credit for their efforts. Support for the locals from the fans was very short lived as after the disastrous first inning they were treated to nothing but criticism, good natured and otherwise. © Murillo -- 800 002 902 - 21 Drydén ~ 000 020 200 - 4 TEAMS Murille--Gorton, Olsen, J.

Greeting the op- posing moundsman with a chorus of safe blows the boys scored in every inning except the fourth and fifth. By this time seven runs had tallied to their credit without an answer from their opponents, Bus Barber mowing them down as they came, at the same time receiving sterling support from the help. Ollie Ander- son, burly local receiver, was the heavy hickory wielder, poling out one of the longest drives ever seen on the local diamond for the circuit. In addition to this Ollie also con- tributed a two bagger. Bus Barber pasted a hot one to right field for three cushions in the opening frame. Alex Hill was rushed to the mound in an effort to stop the onslought but the damage had already been done. Dryden -- 214 001 2 =~ 10 Murillo -- 000 000 0 - 0 TEAMS Murille--Gorten, Hveret, Berini, A.
