VIII DRYDEN, Ontario, November 25th, 1927. : E 1 Ne, XXI. forse ---- . -- _- 4 Youths Return from Royal Fair Three days that were brimful and flowing over with interest and enter- tainment were enjoved by the five hundred Ontario farm boys, ten of them from this district, who visited the Royal Winter fair, and the city of Toronto, as guests of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, ment, but not only that; everything on the crowded program that was planned by R. S. Duncan, director of agricul- tural representatives who supervised the arrangements for the trip,east Yiere for a purpose. At the Royal fair the boys saw for one thing, the 'Jubile= of Agriculture' exhibited which the dominion government and the different provinces staged to show in a striking way the progress that has been made in the dominion's greatest industry sinc 1867, and to demonstrate the amazing variety of high quality live stock and farm produce raised in Canada today, In the show ring the judges of inter- national reputation placed pure bred animals from nine provinces and many states. It gave them lasting ideals of the types that the foremost breeders were striving for, ideals that will in- fluence their own plans for the home © farm. Live stock, grain, and seeds, fruit and vegetables, pouliry, rabbits, dairy produce them all. On the first night they pas- sed in review before LordWillingdon, governor-general of Canada, who open- ed the fair, and for the rest of the evening they watched horses from stables on the continent take the jumps under skilled riders, More than all this, they had the magic password that gained them entry . to the huge farm implement manufac- ting plant of the Massey-Harris comp- any; they saw the Union Stock yards and packing plant and gained first knowledge of several large commercial institutions to see how big city busi- ness concerns were run. These lads liv- ed high during their visit; a luncheon as guests of the Government of Ontario other big spreads as the guests of the packers, the Implement people and different commercial concerns, winding up with a theatre party on the final night. The boys slept in Spadina house, in the centre of the city, and had breakfast each morning at the Hart hourse, in the great dining hall used by the students of the university of Toronto.

November 21st, 1927 Dear Sir:- settlers in Dinorwic vicinity dated the 14th, of November in reference to the Provincial Land Tax. Land Tax is made for the purpese of trying to eol- lect some revenue from a number of corporatiens and persons in Northern Ontorio who have been escaping taxa- tion altogether and who are well able "0 pay taxes. It has been found that some large paper companies are not paying an taxes at all and have been deliberatedly kept out of Municipalities, so that they could escape taxation, There are also hundreds of expensive summer resorts owned 'by wealthy people throughout Northern Ontario and they have been escaping taxation. In other instances large blocks of land are held by out- siders for speculative purposes and retarding u we growth of the {country 2 | pay and | and honey--they saw | mil land other works for Northern Ontaric t is felt that they should some taxes. As you are aware, the Governments are spending many lions of dollars each year in roads and i and it is felt that at least some portion of this should be paid by people who can afford to pay. The tax is not very large in any case and where the property isin a school section only one half estate is charged. In addition to the bona-fide settlers actually living on and improv- ing their farms are exempt altogether. If there is any further information you require, I will be glad to furnish it to you. » Yours very truly, Wm, FINLAYSON. Mr C. B. Rhind, Dinorwie, Ont.

Since A, R. Hutchi- son led the way by securing the lease of the Tourist Hotel a few years ago, his enterprizing example has been fol- lowed by Durance Bros.,, whose new garage opposite the post office is in course of construction; Dingwall Moors who will occupy their splendidly- equipped new premises within the next few days; a detail from the staff of the Dryden Observer, who now publish the Kenora Examiner and Keewatin Enterprize; and now Pitt's Limited, whose new acquesition brings the whole extent of a city block from Main to Matheson Streets into possession of former Dryden interests. In addition, the number from the Dryden district who are securing situations in the big- ger town is being added to every week, Kenora has shown itself big enough to absorbe new-comers from the east- | ern end of its immense Distriet, and has indeed received them with com- mendable friendliness, They do not arrive as strangers, but rather as old residents of Kenora who have moved a little closer to the hub of the District. The outcome should, be ultimately to the advantage of Dryden and Kenora as well, uniting their interests and bringing the two communities more closely in touch, even in advance of the long hoped for connecting highway across the District, Sma Paper White Narcissi, in bowls, ready to blossom, may be procured at the Dryden Pharmacy, -- WEEKLY REPORT OF DRYDEN CONTINUATION SCHOOL FORM I.--Botany--Minnie Reid (MId- red Dean, Alice Wilkinson), Elsie Hot er, Olive Lewis, Patricia White, Els.c Moorehouse, Jeanette Reid, Arthur Doudiet, Clara McGonegal, Elmer Wice Kathleen Wilkinson, Frank Whiteley, Lenore Stefanuik, Edwin Halderson, Roma Spears, FORM II --Liicrature--Ncna Reany, Hazel McCogy, Lenore McRae, Hazel Wilson, Edna Taylor, Evelyn Adair, Frances Foulis, Winkie Edgar, Eldon Wright.

Box 2 Phone 4 Open New Store| | Objects to Interference ETON RUGBY, November 16th, 1927, Deny Editor:--If you will allow me space in your valuable paper, I would like to raise a protest against the in- terference in the conducting o" the Eton-Rugby Community Club from the town friends of some of the mem- bers. Our Club is run to suit the conditions of the people and the com- munity in which we live, which is far different to the conditions in Dryden. Most of our members have to depend on their walking ability to get to the meetings and most of them have small children, who cannot be left and with the roads in the condition they are it is almost impossible for them io get out to the meetings for months at to meet these conditions. This Club was organized six years ago for the express purpose of gett- month for a sociable get-together afternoon, and we put our spare time into sewing and knitting so that we could hold a sale of work for the bene- fit of the newly opened community, For thie past five years we have run on a sociable get-together basis, and still kept our business in order and held our sales gach year, but now through the interference we are fast losing the | sociability which has been characteris- tic of our club in the past. In Dryden the people live close to- gether, here we are miles apart, and during the spring and fall especially, these ungravelled roads are almost im- passible. We resent this interference from people who do not know of the conditions here, but we adapt ourselves accordingly, even though our Club is not run in a city style--we do the work and our proceeds benefit the com- munity in general. At our recent sale of work held on October 21st we realized one hundred and fifty dollars, the proceeds to build a barn for the school, We are always pleased to receive any suggestions that will improve our Club, providing they suit the conditions of the rural people and not the city. I will Le pleased to give a detailed account of our work for the past five vears to anyone who is interested, also en account of the way in which the Club is conducted. I thank vou for the space in your paper. --M. WAINWRIGHT President.
