Principal Jackson of the public school, then gave a paper on Brownings "My Last Duchess" and "The Cavalier Tunes", reading the former and ex- tracts from the latter. i Had it not been for the cool and rapidly cooling atmosphere there | would have been a further period of discussing.

McFarlane, ex-middle weight -hampion of Saskatchewan, will meet Zrnie Payne, champion of Dryden, in 2 10 round contest, Saturday evening December 16th. In order to give the Jusiness men, skating rink and theatre patrohs an opportunity to take in the] ;vent, some preliminary boxing bouts will be put on at 9.30 and the main' feature will not be staged until 10.30. Two Winnipeg Swedish wrestlers of; no mean prowess will appear also and' those who are interested in this sport are promised a treat in the exhibitions to be given. The wrestlers have appeared a number of times before Winnipeg audiences and have the rep-; utation of being clever amateurs. Me-{ Farlane is at present arranging a match with a Winnipeg champion and | some clever and fast work can confid- | ently be looked for. In fact it is sel- dom that a town of the size of Dryden has an opportunity afforded it of wit- | nessing an affair of the kind of equal, merit. ii The recent Dominion legislation in| respect to bill and receipt stamping: was protested, it is expected, by some | thirty thousand retailers throughout Canada. This bill will effect every | farmer, lawyer, doctor and business, | ! 'man in the country and the increase in revenue will not be sufficient to war- rant the inconvenience to business he} térests. So Premier King will likely: have gotten more telegrams Wednes- | a : built Adventurous Career % ak Dr. Paul Helliwell, new associate with | N Dr. Dingwall in Dryden, has had a widely varied experience. Graduating in arts at Toronto in 1909, and in med- icine in 1911, he spent a year in the Toronto Western Hospital, from where he sailed the Atlantic as a C.P.R. ship surgeon for a while and during the intervals, visited the hospitals of Lon- don and Antwerp. Later on he was in charge of a railway construction pital on the C.IN.R. north of Chaplea From this time his ea career led him to China, via England, Algiers, Suez, Columbo, Singapore and Honghong, finally landing in Shanghai just 10 years ago this month. There for two years he devoted his whole time to the study of the language, so that after his marriage in Shanghai, iin the fall of 1914, he was assigned the pioneer work of starting a hospital in a populous city, just opened to for- 'eigners. Here he laid the foundations of what is now one of the largest and finest hospitals in the interior of China by St. Paul's Anglican Church of Toronto. In this embryo hospital, Dr. Helliwell did a large number of major operations with Chinese lads, trained by himself as assistants and a native doctor, trained in a C. M. S. hospital in South China, as anaesthetist. When he returned to Canada on furlough in 1917, having been decorated by the President of China for hazardous work in managing a typhus hospital, follow- "ing a famine, he was awarded a fellow- ship by the Rockefeller Foundation. Then he proceeded to take in the new General Hospital in Toronto, but the exigencies of the Great War led him vo relinquish those advantages and enter the C.AM.C. Here he was placed on medical examining boards 'and specialized on heart and lung ex- minations, for over a year's time. Returning to China in the fall of 1919, he took charge of a large 50 hed hospital Shantang, where also teaching his assistants in in their "ware, ; Toronto. he was' Mr Peter Schonenberg of Waldhof, called at the Observer office, Monday, and turned in nineteen dollars, the proceeds of a concert in aid of the rthern Ontario fire sufferers, given by the Waldhof Band and entertain- ment committee. This is the second donation to come through Mr Schon- enberg, he having suggested througa the columns of the Observer within a short time of the occurrence of the fire, the opening of a subscription list for the sufferers. On Thursday, Nov 80th, a surprise party, planned by the Bluebird Club ox Minnitaki, visited the home of Mr and Mrs Frank Shapland, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of theirweddirg. The evening was spent most enjoyabi ; playing cards and dancing, terminat- ing at two-thirty. Most of the crow: were able to enjoy the first sleigh-rid= of the season, leaving the host and hostess at the door, amid hearty cheers pi Sr a AAS SMe. Se ER =H IE Medical Missionary Association. Du:- ing the terrible famine in 1920, ' was appointed commissioner for the International Relief Organization frv the Lintsing district. In this role, he made many trips into the stricken vili- ages, personally investigating the ca :- dition of the homes and becoming known far and wide as the "great ben- efactor". On one trip, the robbers had planned to seize him for ransom because of his using government troops for the protection of his party, but he slipped through early on horse- back and they had to be content with robbing his cart. He says the greatest marvel was how any people could cx- ist on such a diet, consisting of ground corn-cobs, hulls of millet, a kind of nettle, leaves of trees and a mere sprinklng of coarse sorghum to bind the mess into a sort of bread. : Now having returned home = for family reasons, he brought a rare col- lection of orential jewelry, lacquer silks and embroidered liter. which he exhibited for private sale in We hear that he intends te place the balance of these beautiful things n Mrs Gates' fancy goods shop, day than he ever got in one day in own tongue, using medical text books where the discerning ones may: find «translated into.
