Hired Man gets funny-- A strong. virile Board of Trade is one of a Town's greatest assets. The amount of good that an energetic, and go-ahead body of business - like men can do for their town and community is incalculable. Dryden possesses a Board of Trade--on paper; but why in the name of goodness don't they function ? What became of. that wonderful get-together meeting that ;was to be held last March--No one seems to have heard anything about it. Invitations were sent out to various organizations -- Invitations that 'were badly typed and signed in pencil by: the Secretary, and no time or place of meeting was mentioned on them. Is it any wonder that the average individual cannot take Dry- 'den seriously ? : Gets real carcastic-- The agreement between the Town and Paper Mill over the Wainwright Water Power was no doubt carefully drawn up, but one clause should have been made reciprocal. I allude to the' one in which certain Mill properties are to get free electric services. Now if Mill officials are worthy of this, why not certain officials in the Town say for instance the Mayor and Coun- cillors . residences. Think what a difference that might make to the town. Think of the number of aspirants who would come forward far civic honours and "free juice." Instead of being a one horse town, Dryden might--through the interest thus aroused in its. civie elections-- become a live wire, and rise to the |: position it ought to take. Perhaps it is not too late yet. Tschaiko Mr H. M. Jackson, Principal of the public school and Mr M. F. Cook, agricultural representative left on Thursday morning.
