The re-organization plans of the Dryden Paper Company are now practically completed, and consti- 'tute the biggest factor in develop- {ment that has ever taken place} here. ; The arrival of the private" car, Manitoba, in the local yards last Saturday marked the climax in a series of important events having a bearing on our affairs. The ar- riving gentlemen included Mr G. Sabbatton, vice-pres. Laurentide Paper Co., and a director of the Laurentide Power Co., who suc- ceeds J. B. Beveridge as vice-pres. and general manager of Dryden Paper Co.; George Chahoon, 17, president Taurentide Paper Co. now a director of the Dryden Co. To these two men belongs the credit for putting the Laurentide| Companies in the forefront of the big concerns on this continent. Ihis powerful organization will rom now on direct the fortunes of the Dryden mill, which gives assurance of progress and prosper- ity for the local industry as well as for the Town of Dryden.

When the new units are in operation production at the mill should be increased by three hundred per cent. That is, the output will be four times the pres- ent quantity manufactured. With- out doubt this must result in put- ting the Company once more on a profitable basis. * Ak ok Xk It is rumoured that Mr Bever- idge has sold his home, and that Mrs Beveridge and children will be leaving Dryden about the 25th 'of March They will most probably go south to Virginia, to spend a month or so with Mr Beveridge's father and sisters at City Point, Va.

WABIGOON. | LEE Just a Tittle Mistake--- WABIGOON, Ont.-- Those who mis- sed seeing the splendid February 24th, given by the ladies of the U.F.0. of Wabigoon, certainly made a big mistake, because it was a splendid success and more than one person was rd to say that they had laughed themselves sick. a Mr Chas. Ellis, our "Scheo! Marm", acted as chairman for the entertain- ment and guvs us a very nice address ich lowed by a iacitaiion by ght entitled, "The new She dressed and zct- ancient and dignified sister of the church to perfection. wk 3 Then folloed a solo by Mr Barndale of Kenora and a solo by Mrs Albert Johnson, and a quartette of dainty little girls sang Peggy O'Neill to the accompaniment of Mrs A. Johnson's guitar. Mr Ellis recited "The Cre- mation of Sam. Magee" so well | that une could fai see it all and shudder. Miss Winnie Ehind of Dincrwic sang two solos nicely indeed. The main part of the concert was a play entitled "Just a Little Mistake", played by Mrs M. Wright, Mrs N. E. Collin, Mrs T. Little and the Misses Jennie and Ellen Holmstrom and Cora Ponton, and it surely was a scream- ingly funny mistake. The trouble be- ing that a cook (a big fat, foreign man) and a young lady visitor were ted at the same time, both the occupants, and one was mistaken for the other. The poor risitor being sent out to do the » while the big fat cook (Mrs Colleen) was entertained as a visitor, much to the bewilderment of everyone. The big tears shed by the visitor (Miss Jennie Holmstrom) were so real and the gusto with which the big cook sampled the goods things and acted was a continual source of amuse- ment. : To cloge the concert Mrs Little and Mr Barndale sang a duet, "A Perfect Day". Every participant was clapped back repeatedly until their encores were exhausted. The crowd was just in the right mood to see everything in the most amusing light possible. After the concert everyone enjoyed a very nice dance and went home happy and satisfied and beseeched and begged the ladies to prepare another as soun os \ possible.

EE IE SERVICE and QUALITY = -- Health Talks By Dr. J. J. MIDDLETON Provinéial Board of Health If the health of the people is to be maintained, one of the first essentials iz Tor every worker to receive a living wage. The Ontario Minimum Wage Board is working towards this er! and has issued a large calendar fox 1928, which sets forth the aims and objects of the Board especially as ye- gards women industry. some of tha useful information it supplies follows: is as that none of his daughters shall lack the necessitie cf life--cven the insane and the criminals ure to he fed, clothad and housed. And industry, which takes the life's effort of thousands of working women, is commanded to dn as much. The average income of the ('anadian people is probably the highest in the world. There is enough to give every- body fresh air, shelter, good food, decent clothing and simple comforts. The Minimum Wage Law of Ontario requires no more. A The right to live includes the right to earn a living. A woman worker should be able to pay her way. If a father gives free board to his daugther, her employer has no right to put that gift in his pocket, The "Pin Money" waze is socially unheathful.

Women, for" varous economic vea- sons, are the most helpless class of workers. No community can afford is stand aside and see them exploited." The business which pays good wages is the natural enemy of the business that pays low wages. The one builds up society; the other de- grades and destroys society. The decent employer deserves pro- tection against "shyster" competition. Minimum wage-levels are his rampart against unscrupulous wage-cutting. A good employee earns and shouid get good wages. A good employer deserves and should get loyal service. All the better things of life are built on income, as a house is huilt on its foundation. Health, intellig art, justice and wisdom can only after physical needs Carlyle said "The heart citizenship is the job".
