On behalf of the members of the Con- gregation he asked Miss Waldron to accept this small gift as a token of our appreciation of your devoted and un- tiring efforts on behalf of the Church. We shall miss you much; we wish you Ged speed, and may every blessing be yours, He then presented her with a purse of money. Miss Waldron feelingly replied, and evening was spent. Bravery in Western Ontario Let it be known to all the world that the brave deeds that were done during the world war, have been dimmed by the noble deeds of one of the motorists of the Town of Dryden. In leaving the heat of the city for a dash through the country roads, they have only been giving a matter of minutes before they come to (Alas! I must tell the sordid story) of a well- kept garden, belonging to school child- ren in which they are placing great hopes for the coming year. Here is a brave man's glorious ; chanees, nobody is looking, so over the fence and gather all the best of every- thing, then back to the car and away. By chance we may see this same pro- duce at the Fair yet. St. Luke's Church, Dryden-- The Harvest Festival will (D.V.) be held on Sunday, October 2nd, 1927.

THE regular meeting of the Board of Education was held in the Board room at the School on Wednesday evening. There was a full attendance and the regular business of the passing - of ac- counts, etc. was quickly attended to. Mrs George of the National Temper- ance Society, waited on the Board to ask its co-operation in having the teachers in the school teach temperance The p'an is to have the teachers dur- ing the year allow the pupils to write essays on the benefits of temperance and non-cigarette smoking for which generous prizes are offered by the Society. The suggestion met with the approval of the Board. Division Court THE Third Division Court was held in the Council Chamber at the Town Hall, with His Honor Judge Dowler presiding. Theres were many cases on the docket, smd the Court, counting the momming and zfter- noon session lasted nearly six hours. The first case was that of Drs Ding- wall and Morison, versus Mrs Annie Moore. This was adjourned from a previous sitting of the Court, in June and bad to be adjourned again, owing to the absence of Dr Morison. B. Brignall, Oxdrift, versus F. T. Mackie, of Minnitaki was the next case, and in this instance Brignall was suing Mackie for payment of hay purchased by his son. Defendent claim- fed that another party, J. Oberg, of Oxdrift had received most of the hay. The Judge advised if agreeable to all parties that Oberg who was not then present, should be summoned as a party defendent and the case brought before the Court again on October 12th. This was agreed to by both the defend- ent and the plaintiff's Counsel. Chas Collen, Wabigoon, was suing J. L. Parent, for $17:75 for damage done to his car on July 1st. Mr Collen conducted his own case and called on several witnesses. One, Mr Sillery, who was driving the car the day of the accident, told of parking the car on the right side of the road and coming back finding it smashed and several others who claimed the ear was properly parked, although it was only six feet from the centre of the road bed. Hiz those who considered that proper park- way, such as Duke Street or any other, in fact was for driving and not park- ing and anyone who was careless enough to park so close to the centre of the road & almost force drivers to goon the wrong side of the road in order to avoid bumping them, was doing so at his own risk, and so he dismissed the case. Winterbottom Lumber Yards, sued J. Rowatt for balance of contract and extras a sum of some thirty dollars. After allowances and adjustments, judgment for plaintiff to the amount of $21:60 and costs was given. In the case of M. Stratulak versus J. Kondra and a Dryden Paper Co. garnishee, judgment for $21.25 & sosts in favor of primary creditor was given. Other cases were: 0.

Pickering--Ox- drift Trading Company garnishee-- judgment in favor of primary creditor for $49:90 and adjourned against garnishee. Strutt versus G. Whiting--Dryden | == Paper Company garnishee--judgment against primary debtor and adjourned against garnishee. Cough's Confectionery versus A Reid --Dryden Paper Company garnishee-- judgment in favor of primary creditor. Gough's Confectionery versus Arthur Clark--garnishee-- judgment against primary debtor. During the course of the Court His Honor Judge Dowler made particular mention of the fact that people must come to the Court prepared to conduct their own cases: as it is not only a of order to expect the Judge to conduct both sides of the case, examine wit- A er AT NTI MINE NI xl Nin NINE (nesses and then give fudgment, Is none the worse for the experience when found forty-eight kours later, ahaa] x AFTER being lost in the woods for forty-eight hours, Mary, the little six- year-old daughter of Mr and Mrs S. Korzinski, was found on Sunday after- noon and proved to be none the worse for her experience, not even afraid and she said had had plenty to eat. It appears the child with other mem- bers of the family had been picking berries and her absence was not noticed for several hours. When it became known that she was lost, the family and many others at once began a search of all the woods adjacent and in a short time many cars from Dryden were on the scene and a thorough search was made. On Sun- day afternoon after forty-eight hours, almost all hope of recovering the child was given up, when suddenly she walk- ed out of the bush onto a road where her father was standing with several others who had been hunting for her. mm -- re] District News WABIGOON--The September meeting of the Women's Institute was held at the residence of Mrs R.
