DRYDEN, ONTARIO, FEBRUARY 10th, 1933. ; No. 6. a | 3 THE COLUMNIST As I write. this, I am away from home, suffering one of the zoldest days of a very cold win- ter, without the comforts of a wife to keep me straight, and a house in which I may lord around. With every opportunity to be pessimistic, IT am finding solace in the fact that the hotel at which I am staying is friendly and pleasant, that notwithstand- "ing 1 have but few dollars in my pocket, I ean still find some dimes to please the help, and can tell the casual enquirer that business is very bad. It is all such a mixture of present day inconsistency, that I can afford optimism. I have come to my room after an interview with a chap, that had been cheered hy a few drinks, and thereby able to eulo- gise himself to the skies, struck me for a job. This of itself gives me courage to face the future. Here was I, walking timorously through the rotunda, feeling the emminence of blue ruin, sensing that some might say, '"Let's shun the down ans outer,"" when someone called me apart, and hit me up for salaried work. Such is the great effect of little things, that 1 am going to bed, after finishing this, with ex- panded chest, and diminished abdomen. An hour ago, I should have said," "Stomach," and gloried in that rude word. Now in sheer optimism 1 say, "Ab- domen."" 1 am so spiritualiy elevated, that I eschew vulgarity. I am now optimistic enough to think that you read what I wrote last week, and therefore, can safely recall to your minds, | my illustration of the Indians. To further prove my points, I take this time the prospector. We have several such locally. Cld gold miners who are never beaten. The smallest tale of ore- hound fortunes enthuses them. ir there is no tale, they fabricate one. Their optimism is perhaps absurd. We smile quite often at their irrationalism, yet we Just as often hope there is some- thing in it. Concern is a healthy charae- teristic of the responsible in- dividual. But when his concern, conjures up pictures of a catas- trophic future, he becomes a worrier. And when he begins to voice his worries to his friends, associates and acquaintances he descends to a pessimist. My thought is not of the pessi- mist, merely as a subject of be- haviourism. 1 have in mind the practical dangers of emanating gloom. Pad and foolish specu- lation in the wind up of the palmy days, brought gloom or sorrow to the too many amateur gamblers. Their tales of lost profits, cast clouds upon the buying public, and the shadows of these clouds caused definitely unjustified retrenchment in per- sonal spending. All this went up or down as you choose to place it, through employers, ex- ecutives and statesmen until whole nations have become ter- ribly pessimistic about paying and being paid. No matter what re-adjustment had to be made as payment for our war foolishness, pessimism has made it more painful. There is an unexercised basic buying power owing to the work and mood of the pessi- mist. Of what are we afraid? The worst that can happen to us, is ] ! KENORA LADY CURLERS WIN OVER DRYDEN Last Friday two rinks of Ken- ora lady curlers visited Dryden, playing two games right after the arrival of the afternoon train and two more in the evening. In the first encounter, the Dryden ladies broke even, winning one of the games. Following these games the curlers were enter- tained at the home of Mrs. Win- terbottom, a delightful buffet supper being served by the hos- tess. At nine o'clock two more games were played, the Kenora visitors coming through with flying colors, winning both games by a very comfortable margin. The party then proceeded to Selt's Hotel where a sumptuous banquet was giv en by the local] women curlers in honour of the! visitors. The Kenora party comprised | the Following ladies: Mesdtanes) W. T. Miles, J. W. Colbert, W. hE Gow, R. Jordon, M| Locker, W. Miles and Miss M:j McRoberts. MAN IS KILLED BY RAIL SNOW PLOW | ! | i ! (Fort William Times-Journal) Struck by a snowplow on the} C. P. R. near mileage 78, Alex- ander Warun, about 40 years or] age, section hand at Upsala | township, was injured fatally] Monday afternoon. He died inl the hospital at Dryden yesterday. The body was brought to Fort William this morning and an inquest was ordered by Dr. J.| W. Cook, coroner. A jury view- ed the body at the Blake funeral chapel this afternoon at 1.30 o'clock. The inquest will be held Monday evening at 7.30 o'clock in the Donald street courthouse. The accident occurred when the snowplow extra, with the snowplow in front of the engine, was proceeding west near mile- age 78. With several other sec- tion men Warun was trying to remove a hand-car from the tracks when he was struck. Members of the train erew rendered first-aid and proceeded with the injured man to Ignace. He later was taken to the hospi- tal at Dryden. His leg was crushed badly, it is stated. af death from starvation, and the good Lord never sent such crops. Perhaps starvation, arrived at gradually would not be so bad, not very bad, because nothing is ever quite so bad as we antici- pate. And as I tried to say, at the beginning of this article, the pessimist is never quite logical. 1 have a very close friend, closer to me than a brother, who owns a departmental store. His 'most pessimistic period is always before Christmas, when business far exceeds any other time of year. This fellow has stubborn- ly gained in weight for twenty- five years in spite of his appre- hensions. So, to conclude, expressed pessimism is a damaging thing. Be as gloomy as you want, but try taking your eloom out of cirenlation. As - Milton said, "Hence loathe'd melancholy."' £5) (EE OED (GRE () GE TIED TD (EE (GD ) CED GE EE (GN y NANI NINN NISSAN SSS SSIS SSSI The Harris Drug Store The Rexall Store For the relief and prevention of Head Colds, we recommend VAPURE Vapure and a package of 50 Face Elle Tissue Handkerchiefs for 50c¢ Sunday 12.00 PHONE 69 et > EE (EEE (-GN- GRD (EE (am "Service With Courtesy" STORE HOURS: Daily 8.30--6.30 7.00--9.20 --2.00 6.30--9.00.
