G. Dingwall Js Elected by OWING to Christmas festivities and other attractions the attendance at the Nomination Meeting Monday Night was small, Dr Dingwall was the un- animous choice for Mayor, no other name being proposed, demonstraling the fact that he has filled the position of chief Magistrate in a manner most satisfactory to even the most eriical. The fact that so little intertst was shown in the meeting called to nomi- nate a new Council is ample proof that the, affairs of the Town during the year 1927, have been handled efficient- ly and to the entire satisfaction to all concerned. 'fhe year 1927 has heen one of the most eventful ones in the history of Dryden, The installation of the sewer system, the extension of water lines, and 'arranging for ~ the chlorina- tion of the Town's water supply to make it fit for domestic use, are some of the improvements which have been carried out by the Council and these are all very important improvements. Messrs Bailey, Clempson, McKay, Wood and Wilson, all members of last year's Council were again nomi- nated, and in additioual three others. Thos, Proudfoot, E. A. Klose, A Pat- terson. H Wilde and A Patterson failed to qualify, so there are only seven names on the ballot for Monday, January 2. After nomi- nation had closed Mr J E Gibson was appointed Chairman of the meeting, and called on the Mayor and Coun- cillors nominated, as well as any rate- payer who might care to speak, In a brief speech Mayor Dingwall summed up the affairs of the Town ard commented on the favourable condi- tion of the debenture market at the present time. He also dealt with the quest'on of the Town's water supply, At present ho said the river water is much safer for domestic use than any of the wells in town, even before the installa- tion of the chlorinating system, He urged that as many as possible use this tested water for both from a health point of view, and Stopmvealy it was much better. Any increas in the users of water tended to oer the rates for the service. Dr Dingwall discussed some 'of the questions which had been brought up by some of the ratepayers, Why town officials should be granted free electric light in view of the fact of the short- age of power, had been asked and the Doctor explained that this was granted to town officials who were paid on a Acclamation Dr Dingwall Returned for Third Consecutive Term as Mayor of Dryden Seven Councillors qualify--Election, Monday, January 2nd. of the salary. This adopted a number of years ago and had worked out satisfactorily, The question of refunding taxes to the Creamery was also brought up and was receiving no further consideration than any other new indusiry would get. dustry exemption for a long term of years, whereas the Creamery did not apply for any such long term consider- ation, but only asked for exemption from year to year until it could be placed on a paying basis. The Chairmen of the various Com- mittees then outlined the activities of their departments for the past year, Mr Bailey, Chairman of the Reads and Bridges, was the first to speak. Owing to sewer ins allation he said, less had been expended than formerly but he contended that more expendi- tures would have to be made nexiyear. A J Clempson, Chairman of the Electric Light and Telephone Depart- ment outlined the work of this Com- mittee during the past year and re- ported his department to be in a satis- factory condition, The Chairman of the Waterworks Committee, Mr J S Wilson, gave a very comphrensive outline of the sewer installation and extension of waterworks, yearly basis, and was "EY en as part and the efficient way in which it was done. The finances of the Town were then dealt with by Dr P H B Wood, Chair- man of the Finance Committee. Tax collections this year were much proved over that of the previous year | and he also dwelt on the question of money expended on previous water ex- tension which is being included in the present debentures, J McKay, Chairman of the Police Committee then gave a brief outline of the activities in his department. H Wilde, Chairman of the Property Committee was not able to be present at the meeting, and was the only mem- | ber of last year's Council who did not qualify for the coming year. Those nominated for Sé¢hool Trus- tees were: Messrs D Blake, G Wice, H Humphries and S y Rigbey. Results of Nominations in Van Horne Reeve--J K Guthrie, by acclamation, Councillors returned by acclamation were--DMessrs C C Pilkey, R Begg, J Hatch. Mr J Ready was elected to take the place of A E Moore who dd not qualify. A large crowd attended the dance held in the Maonic Hall last Monday night and everyone had a real goad time. The Whiteley Orcheztra, play- ing with their usual pep and vigor kept everyone on their toes the whole evening, Lunch was served at mid- night, after which dancing continued until 2.30 a:m:. when one of the most successful dances of the year was brought to a close, z A Reid, Ignace paid a visit to Dry- den Thursday. : : FRI For the manifold kindness which you, NDS AND CUSTOMERS . have bestowed upon us aforetime we are truly grateful. foroneahd alla right ~. ,.

Sat. Jan, 7th pe---- Casting a backward glance over the there is a marked progress toward the real spirit of "pcace and good will among men' yet who is there of us but can yeadilv perceive that much more could Lave been accomplished, and much more lasting good have been done if we had been more sincere \in our christian endeavour? Is there one of us who has not at some time 'or other placed the emphasis on the les- ser important matter of life instead of upon the essential? There can be no mistake when we begin our year with God. Someone has said that we might as well say that we haven't time to be clothed and rush out into the street unclothed as to hurry out inte the duties and temptations and responsibil- ities of every-day life without taking time to pray. What is true of every- day experience is all the more true when entering into a whole year's responsibility, We need God's direc- tion; His help; His blessing, Can we receive these unless we come and talk and walk with Him! Thus the week of prayer--recogniz- ed the world over, and which has been enjoyed in past years, has been arrang- ed for the beginning of 1928. Every vear the meetings have been well at- tended, so let this year be exceptional, only in having the largest attendance yet, Remember-- the first week of the New. lear--every night and do not : miss one meeting. Sunday, January 1st--Each con- gregation worships in its own church at the usual hours. Monday, January 2nd and Tuesday January 3rd, in the Baptist Church, Wednesday, January 4th and Thurs- day, January 5th, in the Anglican : church. Friday, January 6th and Saturday, January 7th, in the United church. Each service in the week will begin at Eight p.m. We need each other's help and pray- er. Be present to help and be helgel.
