The crank is in front." : "Yes," snapped back the corp, 'but the nuts are all behind? The Observer Reporter calling at a certain Office in search of news; was informed by a youg lady present that he weather was highly unsatisfactory; bv a gentleman that all he knew was that he was mighty busy, and by the ogema that he had seven pages of cash to make up in fifty minutes, and therefore could not talk.

Visiting Nurses sent out by the Pro- vineial Public Health Department to the district west of Port Arthur, arriv- 'ed at Dryden the latter part of June ; with Miss HARNESS ¢ menced visiting the out-lying districts in the early part of July, going as far : : as Vermillion Bay to the west; Quibell Carr Harris, permanent District Nursing supervisor and com- north, and Osaquan and Dyment east- ward. The work practically closed October fifteenth, and since then Nurse Veitch has heen engaged with the Public School chil- dren and in other activities in Dryden. As this is the first season anything of this nature has been carried on in the district, Miss Veitch found a great of visiting was deal of her time taken up in explain- ing the character of and necessity for the work. The desire of the Provincial Public Health Departmen is to carry to every branch of Ontario's citizen- ship a knowledge of how to live and "care for the rising generation in such a manner as will insure diseare pre- vention, and . the best measures of accomplishing this desire has proven to be, sending out Public Health Nurses to visit from home to home; weigh and examine the children and advise with the mothers as to diet and general health rules. In carrying out her work Miss Veitch wishes to em- phasise the splendid assistance render- ed the cause by the appreciation and & co-operation of the settlers visited, and > the assistance given by the various Women's Institute throughout the district. The loan of the weigh-scales was made through the Institute and & every. Institute throughout the country was sympathetic, and rendered all the assistance in its power. The Nurse found that in many instances the state o of the teeth and throat was the source of a great deal of trouble in both ad- A 2 ults and children. ¥ + PBOCONT LHODLBOCIODY Dryden Distriet has been very fortunate in having for its Public Health Nurse Miss Veitch, who is tact- ful, energetic and in the performance of her duties. Now as to what people think and say? Every Woinen's In- stitute in the district has undertaken to transmit to the Provincial Public Health Department a copy of a resolu- 'tion showing 'their appreciation and gratitude to the Department, and to their representative Nurse Veiteh for the splendid results obtained through their action in sending out a visiting Nurse. And otherwise individual who are not connected with the Institute are equally as earnest in their com- mendation of the departments policy. In so far as the Observer can discover the district wants visiting nurese and more visitin nurses. ! Many developements point to the success of the work of the past season, and the generally expressed feeling is a hope for its continuance and in an increased measure. The local branch of the G.W.V.A. desire at this juncture to express their entire thanks and sincere appreciation of the part taken by Rev. J.M. Beaton © in connection with the memorial ser- vice. Going to Quibell to the Masquerade? -- The Forest Girls of Quibell have en- gaged the best musicians that can be had, for their Masquerade on Decem- ber first. The Admission is adults 50c, childven 25; and it will be worth that much to listen, if yu do not dance. Is the World going Dait? There never was a time in the history of the english speaking world when intemperance was as rampant as now. This holde equally true in Canada and the United States where on ab- solute prohibitory liquor law main- tains, Our prohibition friends firmly believe if stringent anti-alocholic en- actments were in force, intemperance would vanish as by magic. We have both in this country and in the country of our cousins to the south of us, bone- dry liquor laws, but with what results? We are no more temperate than un- der former conditions, in fact intem- perancé is gaining a firmer hold on our people with each setting of the sun. Intoxication has become the ord- er of the day in every phase of society and among persons of every colour, age and variety. The desire for stimulants has spread to children form the age of five upwards. The man, woman or child who is a suffi- ciency unto him or herself is today an anomaly. As a race we have merged into beings that must be fed from without--Ilacking within ourselves the elements that will contribute to our sustenance. : i Is is possible that our would-be re- formers(through legislative mandates) are unaware of the present-day con- 'dition of th peoples whom they fondly hoped to render temperate once and for all through those mandates? Have they lost sight of the fact that nature abhors a vacuum, and hat to effect a radical change that which it is desired to eradicate must be supplanted by something else? : The great hunger for sensation-- the intense desire for forces outside one's self to contribute the fullest measure of entertainment, so eviden- ced in every phase of our social life, and in the avidity with which we seize upoa every form of amusement, is not in the least dissimilar to the condition that begets the craving for alcohol and when indulged, in the main entails as deviation from true standards as does indulgence in alcohol. The intemper- ance of today is the more deadly in effect, and the more to be feaerd, be- cause of its permeation of childhood and womanhood: as the last bulwark that stands between any civilization of its womanhood. . ALMOST TOO LATE Some of our young nimrods pretty nearly got a deer the other morning. They got up at five o'clock and found where his deership had rested during the night. One young gentleman was tolled off to shoot the unsuspecting animal as he emerged from the wood, while the rest of the party acted as beaters. their own game by quietly taking to the water at the other side of the point. Someone got a deer that day, and the hunters don't know yet whether it was their deer or the right- ful property of the other fellow. The advertisement for sale of house- hold goods at T. H. Scott's, Oxdrift, was ordered out but the notice was re- ceived too late to prevent its insertion. Within the past two weeks "Holy Willie's Prayer" has been discounted so far that Bobbie Burns has undoubt- edly turned in his grave, but unfort- the publication of his master-piece. . EEE i Miss Edith Hardie has taken a pos- ition in Myr Beverley Linden's office. { Hon. President--A M Young. ARMISTICE DAY was observed in Dryden in manner fitting. The initiative was becomingly taken by the Great War Veterans: but the heartfelt response by the citi- zens bore witness how closely the Day of Remembrance comes to everyone. : The signal given by the whistle of Dryden Paper Mill _ arrested general attention, and for two minutes after 11 o'clock on the eleventh day of the elevnth month all over Canada, the thoughts of all were carried poignantly back to the time when each day bro't forth its fill of horror, and the shadow of death hovered threat- eningly across the world. "A Glory that Shines" spared to come back and help build up once more the crumbling edifice of our civilization. The fore-thought of the Vets. had provided a four-page leaflet with the Hymns and order of ser- vice printed for the use of the worshippers, and as a memento. At every step in its preparation-- its drafting, the selection of the Hymns, the designing and print- ing of the leaflet, and the conduct of the service--one or other of the Veterans had a hand: so intimate- ly is our citizen army interwoven in the every - day of Canada's national life. kok ok ok - Memorial Day Sunday was, appropriately marked by Divine, Service in Union Church, when the Veterans paraded in charge of | R. $/M. Dan Doyle. Dryden Coy. | K.L.I followed them into the building, the other 'seats being taken up by civilians, a large number being unable to gain ad- misgion. Te The memories of the war are still 'too recent to bear any sem- blance of rejoicing over the peace that Armistice Day brought. Inevitably any celebration of the day must still be observed with great solemnity. From the sing- ing of the National Anthem to the Recessional, there was notable absence of desire to acclaim a victory; rather in the deep roll of voices was there a profound sadness for the sorrow that the wat had wrought over the world. An impressive scene was that when, the men standing to attén- tion, the pastor Rev. J. M. Beaton read the Roll of Honour. In per- fect stillness the revered names of comrades who had fallen, brought back deathless memories to those who had gone down to the battle with them, but who had been is Got a Date : The date for the Annual Bazaar of the' Women's Auxiliary will soon be announced. The members have been busy in preparation, and an unusual display. of ornamental and useful articles will be offered this year. Apart from the desire to raise money, there is a sentimental and historical virtue in this long - established event which means much tc the ladies of St Luke's congregation. IGNACE The young lady who lost her suede glove at the Lakeside may have same upon application to W Purnell. Please don't take the above to heart, as Bill can hold a secret.

The meeting unanimously accepted the local GWVA offer of $100.00. to assist the Rink funds, the Secretary was instructed to convey the apprecia- tion of the members. Local Great War Veterans staged a successful Whist Drive and Dance last Friday evening in the Community Hall. : Fifty dollags was raised by the Wo- men's Institute on Armistice day by the sadle of Poppies. The regular meeting of the WI was held in the Community Hall on Satur- day, November 4th. Fourteen mem- hers were present when the President, Mrs McNabb opened the meeting. © A letter was read from the GWVA ask- ing that the WI take charge of the sale of Poppies on Armistice day. A commitiee was appointed to take charge of the same Other business At the close of the meeting dainty refreshments were served by Mrs Halquist and Mrs Smil- ey. The next meeting will be held on the first Saturday in December at 2.30 p.m. Solemn our hearts thrill; Death august and royal Sings 'sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desola- tion, And a glory that shines upon our tears They went with songs to the battle, : they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow; They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, z As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, : To the end, to the end they remain. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them. --Lawrence Binyon. the For Men Only The November nieeting of the Dry= den Women's Institute will be held in the Town Hall, Friday, November 24th at 3 o'clock. : : This meeting is plannd by the Home Economics Committee and will embody several features of interest to all women.
