Hhtte, I shall be unable to complete | that steps | actions have always been the result of !erneast deliberation i Teaching Staff, and the rate-payers in t which he has so faithfully carried out, "during his occupancy of the Mayor' 8' i chair. Of the other present Coun- cillors shee is no reason why most of i them should not stand again. While I buginess of the Town has greatly | increased, the thorough organization of the various committees has handled affairs with laudable despatch. A. G. Ripley has been a steady in- fluence, little given to speech but firm and steadfast for the interests of the Town. TE. A. Klose, impetuous and; out-spoken, is a valuable man, and is' assured of the confidence of all who believe in having things open and above-board. Herb Wilde is as popular as ever, and will probably again draw! a big vote with his upright and force- ful bearing. C. Norgate who is coupled with him in committee work, has given | loyal and useful service to the Town, | Sond but finds that the duties conflict with" his private affairs and is not likely te' stand again. F. Matthews is highly} regarded for the technical knowledge so helpful to the Town and the public! spirit he has always displayed when his services were needed. The in- tentions of Mr Winterbottom are un- known at present, but his careful and efficient work on the finance committee has earned him the right to re- nomination. ; So think it over, and be ready for § THE system which retires three out of the six members of the School Board cach year, members being elected for "two-year terms alternatively, with the resignation this year. of one other interest in the school situation.

This also affords me an opportunity of expressing my sincere regard for the other members of the Board, whose and a desire to further the best interests of Scholars, general, who have entrusted them with no small responsibility. FRANK M. OFFER mam om OQ The home of Mr and Mrs A. Salton, sdrift, was the scene of a happy event Wednesday afternoon, when their daughter Gladys was married to Russel J. Pollard. Miss Luella Crosier) was bridesmaid, with Jack Skene as best man. Rev. J. M. Beaton per- formed the ceremony. .The bride wore besides a smile a lovely gown of cream Canton crepe, with necklace of pearls, and carried a bouquet of sweet peas and carnations, as did the bridesmaid who was dressed in pink silk georgette crepe. The groom presented the bridesmaid with a gold pendant, and to the best "man a gold tie pin. Both parties being related to some of the best known families in the district, a great number { melodies, also touched the hearts of half miles off the main trail, flesting, Several interesting musical items were included on the program which followed the sale. A piano number by Miss Newcombe appealed to the taste of a people who are artistically in the front rank of European musical culture A violin solo by Mr Naislund, who played one of the fine old Norse the listeners with thoughts of the homeland. Hans Hansen, Kenora, in lighter mood, entertained young and old with his humourous ditties in mix- ed Norwegian and English. The proceeds will be devoted to the purpose of the Scandinavian Mission Circle. One Touch of Nature Relevant to the controversy on that develops occasional heat, and the well known ferocity of Western : Ontario wintry weather, it is worthy of note that twe of our government men made adventurous trips Wednesday's blizzard. ~ Mr M. F. Cook drove his Ford into the woods norh of Oxdrift three and a com- fortably settling his business and re- turning. Provincial Constable Hake, equally' indifferent to the weather, steered the little old Henry the thirty miles or so to Waldhof, to attend to a little matter of police routine. So in answer to all kind inquiries as to whether Hal Dingwall has forgotten the summer is over, we would draw attention not only to the continuance of Ford advertising = throughout the which would .seem to make the year- round car idea unanimous. Once the winter gets going right, maybe somebody will have a chance to put the Ford to a real test.
