TQ; Gal | Sioux Lookout Lodge at a | Fraternal Visit Dryden Lodge No. 417, 1.0.0.F had the pleasure of receiving a fraternal visit of about thirty members from' special meeting in the Mill Hall here last Saturday. The visitors were met Quibell by a fleet of automobiles, and conveyed over the forty-odd miles of road by their hosts. In addition to the interest attaching to the visit of a neighbour Lodge, Dry- den takes pride in the fact that they were privileged to assist in organiz- ing the Lodge at Sioux Lookout, while several members of the latter acknow- ledge Dryden as their mother Lodge. While Dryden may possess the ad- vantage of seniority, in other respects they gladly acknowledge the efficiency of 'the sister Lodge in the splendid activity of their excellent work. 'After the Lodge had been opened at eight o'clock, the visiting officers were invited to take charge, and ex- emplified the Initiatory Degree upon two candidates for membership. Following this beautiful ceremony, the officers and degree team of Dry- den Lodge again took charge, six brethren being instructed in the First Degree. The work of the two Lodges was mutually helpful, both gaining fresh inspiration in the high ideals of the Order. Following the more serious business of the evening, Bro. E. Cole of Sioux Lookout presented the N.G. of the home Lodge with a handsome regalia as a memento of the visit. An excellent lunch was then served, and a highly entertaining programme was enjoyed. Bro. Sellers past N.G. of Kenora officiated at the piano during the evening. After spending the night as guests of the Dryden Brethren, the visitors were given the opportunity to see the surrounding country next morning by those who own cars. On the return journey to entrain at Quibell the party stopped at Blue Lake for lunch, leav- ing in the evening for Sioux Lookout. The School Fair September is the month when School Fairs become the centre of interest for the children all over the District. The exhibits keep on improving year by year as gain in experience and learn the con- ditions that win the prizes. The quality of the exhibits and the skill of the exhibitors is astounding, and promises well for the Agricultural trict. Parents and others would do well to take lively interest in the work of the children, and encourage them in their efforts. : List of Dates-- Jaffray and Mellick-- Schoolhouse-- ' Thursday, September 11th.

Work and Play NO Town in the British Empire has a better moral right to celebrate Labour Day than has Dryden, the Town where every man has a recognized job, mak- ing a living from some useful occupa- tion, and the 'Idle Rich' are unknown. Maybe that is why the weather man was so gracious Monday, giving us the best day in weeks for the occasion. If the morning was gloomy, the skies brightened later into friendly sunshine and a grand day's sport was the result. - Not only was the crowd the largest ever seen on the Fair Grounds; it was drawn from a wider area than usual, every part of the district being rep- resented. There was lots of fun with the comic men, the clown who kept the crowd laughing, and the special constable who had more than he could do to keep the lines clear. The sports opened with a Baseball game, Dryden Seniors versus Dryden Juniors--which the latter won 3 to 1. The kids felt pretty chesty to think they could trim a senior team. The game was a very fast one, and well played on both sidss. The Ladies Baseball was the big feature on the programme, and at- tracted the most attention. Eagle River damsels contended with the pick of Dryden's fair ones for the champion ship of the district. Some very good ball was shown, Eagle being especi- ally strong in hitting. After eight hard-fought innings, the game was called, ending in a draw, 7--7. In the Tug-'o-War the farmer team easily proved the champions on the draw. The slow horse race was another scream, the winning horse owned by Swan Swanson, and ridden by Gordon Tew. Refreshments were suppiled by Gough's Confectionery, with two de- livery boys covering the grounds. An extra attraction was Bert Carney with his doll game, with cigars and choco- lates for knocking 'em down. Dryden Brass Band added to the pleasure of the afternoon by its excell ent music, and established its reputa- tion as the best band the Town ever had. : The list of prize winners will be found on page four.

CORRESPONDENCE The Labour Day Dance-- There is apparently some misunder- standing regarding the Dance on Sept- ember 1st. It appears that some are of the opinion that the Girls' Guild stole the night on the Sports Com- mittee. The Girls Guild found that there was to be no dance, so they arranged one. When the Sports Committee heard that the Girls Guild were hold- ing a dance, they advertized it on the bills, and it was decided to approach "f the Guild and ask them if they would care to make a donation to the Hospi- tal, as the proceeds of the Sports Day were chiefly being donated to the Hospital. They agreed to do this. So the result was just the same as if the Sports Committee had run the dance, except that the Guild did the work, supplied the eats and by their previous experience in this line of work, carried off the dance in a fashion that the sports committee could not have done~--~Yours truly--FAIR PLAY. ® Mz T.
