wo Volume IV. Dryden, Ont. January 18th 1923 Number 33 A RYDEN PHARMACY A Sure Shot (Bot and Worm remover), ; i ONCE upon a time there was a ) little town that flourished, albeit in a modest fashion, on the banks of a river draining a considerable lake in the heart of the almost un- known territory between the busy east and the striving west ; linking the old and the new; ; standing at the meridian between the spread- ing seas. Yin the huge reservoir just beyond its yard fences there flows the stream that--after turning its wheels, lending power to supply light and motion to its activities-- like the bush that burned yet was not consumed, keeps on with energy undimished to furnish still greater blessings to the cities on the plains beyond, whose indus- tries wait on its coming. Past its front door runs the greatest high-! way of the world's commerce that on rails of steel carries unendingly the merchandise of half a con- tinent, bartering the products of a rich, virgin country for the output of earth's mightiest factories and' the skill of the world's greatest! craftsmen. = So in the very heart of things are we situated who are privileged to call Dryden "home." * kkk Are we then to regard ourselves as an unimportant community, of small influence on the affairs of the great world: or are we the hub' of the universe which must' keep moving forward as a centre,' lest we retard the onward drive of that which lies around us in' the mighty engine of civilization! Ava man thinketh in his heart,' so is he." Is that prodigious truth less than true of a community ?

Many have been the indications of late of a stiffening of the critical fac- ulty in Dryden. Doubtless because of its stuation, it has suffered more than most places from the infliction of self- appointed apostles of various species of super-excellence. But whether from | unusual properties in the atmosphere (and even the most patriotic of our: citizens admit the presence of a decid- ed tang to the air under certain condi- | tions of the wind) or whether due to | the rigours of the climate, these med § TOWN OF DRYDEN.

It is not a popularly elected body, nor has it executive powers like a Town Council; yet many appear to regard it as a sort of upper-chamber, which should enlarge and supervise the work of the elected representat- 'op the biggest gatherings in the west of --at Winnipeg next week. ives. 'Complaints are sometimes hear 'that nothing has been accomplished by the Board, because it has neglected to launch a water-works and sewer sys- fo tem, for instance, or some such work v for the public good. Such work is strictly the breroga- tive of the Municipal body, and cannot be dealt with by the Board of Trade: a otherwise than in the form, of recom- mendation to the Council. The Board of Trade 'is primarily a volunteer publicity department for the , town, through which questions of gen- jurisdiction of Council, or affecting. outside corporations and municipal A { ities, may be dealt with. Through its . { operations citizens may become pos- sessed of information of municipal advantage, or may in turn spread in- to - the interest of the Town itself. Many who are prone to criticise the effectiveness of a Board of Trade might do themselves, as well as the Board, a considerable amount of good by attending the annual 'meeting and enrolling for the pur 'the general welfare.
