Christmas on Monday and Tuesday in Union Church, when he gave ad- dresses on "Divine . Healing". Tuesday night he told how he had heard the call to service, when in bus- dying, and he heard a voice telling him to go and pray for her. so, and the child was restored to health and is still living. Myr Chrismas warned parents to be very careful of their children when young, guiding them tenderly in the way they should go, so that when they were old they should not depart from. it. fn Hand in Glove A Corking Good Story The boxing bouts staged by the Dryden Boxing Club on Tuesday last was the best yet. = A larger attended this bout than the previous] ones and the promotion of the boxing game in Dryden. Buring the first half of the evening the rising generation entertained the crowd to several rounds of hot fight- ing. Ernie Louttit and Stanley Ettles (midgets) battled it out for four] rounds and caused things to sizzle. Next in line was Arthur Williams and George Curley. They showed more than the ordinary amount of: science for lads their age. The way young Williams would cover up and back out of a clinch was good to watch. From the way the two Sfreddo boys went after each other one wouldn't think they were brothers. Every time the bell rang at the end of a round they looked disappointed and sat on more. ; But the real laugh of the evening came when young Curley and Hill locked horns. Evidently they had re- ceived orders not to hit each other in the face, and the way Curley glued his eyes on Hill's chest and slugged made the fans hold their sides and howl. The next bout was Holes up for Buck Weaver and Jack Ferguson heavy-weights) but at the last minute Ferguson announced that the stake wasn't large enough. Buck offered to 'give him his share of the purse and 'box for nothing, but he refused and 'ended further discussion by leaving. i This "hold-up at the last minute",: as Dave Beaver put it,' is very dis {couraging to those who are trying to. promote the gms in Dryden, and if ithe Dryden people want to see it go {ahead they will have to be willing to meet te promoters half way. However, Ed. Martin substituted for ! Ferguson and fought Buck to a draw. ;They felt each other out for the first two rounds and then cut loose for the next four. Martin proved to be a clever boxer and the way he stopped Buck's drives was good. But don't get the idea that Buck was walking round in a trance--he wasn't. Some of his "haymakers" would have done credit to a pile-driver. On | 'ness in London. A friends child was} He did Miss Lyons of Oxdrift spent the week-end at St Luke's Rectory.

TOTAL, ADMISSION Lili nt el A Sane Solution The long-disputed account of Dryden Paper Co. for supply of electric light to the Town_of Dryden was finaily disposed of at last Tuesday's meeting 'of the Council. ; The question turned on the oli as to when the new price of $20.00 per th.p. for current came into effect. The Company contended that the price be- came operative on the completion of the new Wainwright power plant; members of the council held that the contract became effective when the necessary signatures were atlached last summer, and in any cace, while the service was admittedly so poor in quality, the Company should make favourable concessions in regard to charges for current. ' After frank and full discussion of the whole matter, Mayor Pitt suggest-{ ed that the best plan would be to forestall the most probable decision of an arbiirator, and split on a fift-fifty basis, pointingsout that any concession either side might make was more than discounted by the costs saved in the avoidance of arbitration proceedings Thi s view of the matter proved acceptable to both parties, and after a great deal of intricate figuring the problem was finally subjected to the accounting skill of Mr J. E. Gibson whose. solution was checked and ap- oroved by Mr H. H. Humphreys, and were assisted by Mr Cook with his ever popular picture machine. The comics were very good, but it is doubt- ful if they will be remembered as long = {he educational picture on the man- pfactute of cake and candy. A sub- stantial collection was taken to be veed in furtheving this work for Loys and girls. Following is the program: O Canada." Instrumental Duet--the Misses Wash- burn. Song (koys)-- "My Name...

It must be stated that Mr J. B. Beveridge, representi ing th: Company, showed a conciliakory atti- tude, and all recognized that the diff- "erence arose from diversity of view "and not from any attempt at unfair ness on either side. Pete Moline was the successful competitor out of two tenders sub- mitted for town scavenger for the year His offer to accelerate the spring clean-up by putting two teams on the job appealed strongly to the council, whe agreed to allow the time of the extra team in fulfilling the contract. Citizens are urged to co-operate when the thaw comes, and the cleaning of the town this year should be done in Miss ; .$1025 {or six months. record time.
