But after the turn of the year one begins to look hopefully forward to the coming of Spring. A sleigh party of young people gave a farewell evening in honour of Miss Marjorie Maunsell last week. They drove out across the Lake to the home of Mr and Mrs Dan Wright where they met with a hearty welcome, and an en- joyable time was spent in music and dancing. 0. G. Snyder, optician, Kenora, is making a tést of the eyes of all pupils attending Dryden School this week. Recommendations will be made to parents and guardians when necessary to provide backward pupils with proper spectacles. License Inspector Parfitt, of Kenora, in company with the local representa- tive of the provincial police, purchased one or two samples of a well-known proprietary article being sold in some of the stores here and sent them to Toronto under seal for analysis. Prov. Constable Hake journeyed to Richan Tuesday, on behalf of a neglec- ted Fagle River wife, to accompany the careless husband to Kenora where a judicial effort was made to mend the tatters of domestic happiness by get- ting the pair together again. Sunday morning mail will no longer be available in Dryden post office, thus taking another step into line with the more modern communities in Canada, and away from conditions that govern in more primitive hamlets. Peter Heenan dropped off the train from Kenora Wednesday afternoon, on the way to a meeting at Cairn- brogie, where he was the guest of Mr and Mrs Jim Sherwood. ; Dr Morison has made a successful recovery from his recent operation and 's once more able to be around among 1is numerous friends. A. R. Hutchison of the Tourist Hote! spent the weekend in Dryden, visiting his week-old grandson and the proud narents, Mr and Mrs D. Frejd. Mrs W. J. Robinson of Winnipeg is 'n Dryden, visiting her daughters. Mrs Ray and son, Egan, returned from Winnipeg the other day. St Luke's Sunday School will hold "heir annual Concert next Friday, Jan. 6th, in the Parish Hall. Miss Marjorie Maunsell, one of out nost popular young ladies, left Monday to attend College in Montreal. M. Waksdal has gone to Kenora, to anter the employ of Bergman-Nelson ~ontractors. P. R. Whytock left last Saturday fo: New York, to attend an fmporiont con- ference of his directors. The staff of life has risen in value due to the higher cost of the raw ma: terial. Mrs White of Osaquan was the guest of her daughter, Mrs J. S. Wilson _ fo a few days this week. Mrs T. Corneille has returned look- ing greatly refreshed after her trip to Winnipeg. A Word to the Wise-- The January Sales in Dryden stores this year are something of a sensation with their extraordinary values. The mail order houses with their unseen bargains would appear less attractive by comparison with the actual goods where the can be examined before pur- chase. And rgmember, when you put a dollar in circulation in your own town, you have another chance to get hold of it again. When sent away, it is like the years that the locusts have eaten, gone beyond recall. Presentation-- The boys in the electric department at the substation in the mill were all at the train Monday afternoon to see their old chum, Clarence Wright, safe- ly started for Kenogami Que. To give point to their reminder to "be sure and write," they presented him with a splendid Duofold pen and pencil set. Clarence will go to work in the Price Bros. mill, under his old boss, G. P. Saunderson, late of Dryden, who initia- ated him into the mysteres of electri- {city on his leaving school a few years ago, and who has been waiting ever since until his protege was old enough JEG GIBSON, Agent, Dryden to leave the parental home to call him down to old Quebec. the!

Let Us Hope. trying year. many of our field products. expectations, Potatoes were a seventy- Ave percent failure, and even Sun- steader, in a very difficult position. But! then farming is always more or less of a gamble. And we are preparing 'or better returns this year. In connection with our road Yullding prograimme, there is still much to be lone, and people who have had great confidence in the new staff of officers, 'elt their confidence and hope badly shaken. Of course, of many promises which were made, a very few were fulfilled. And many settlers and farmers are still suffering, and greatly handicapped 'hrough lack of roads. We must give the present super- visors credit that they have brought the Northern Development Branch, sc to speak, to a scientific basis. No doubt she present supervisor can be very oroud of this. But in our humble opinion, it woul Hevmuch 'more credit to them if th. seople of this very district could be oroud of those-men who are in charge of this very important business, the evelopment of this district, more specially as far as roads are con- erned. And since the wheels of the Dryder 2aper Co. are turning a little faster, here is hope that we will sell sone vood to this firm. Which of course would be a great help to those people who have so very little spruce wood Yes, this hope is a wonderfulething wd we ave still hoping, and it is this ope which makes the people do great hings, and this hope, that we hope will never die, has turned this district nto a wonderful agricultural district >f which only a very few have a real job. This will be more apparent if we 'ust look backwards over the last ten sears, then surely we must realize vhat wonderful progress we have made. It must also be said that there is a novement to do something--to better and complete the TransCanada High- way. Much labour is spent in this lirection, we are by no means opposed to this piece-work. On the contrary, we realize that if complete we all will weap the benefit from in in one form or other. But by no means should the coloniza- tion roads be overlooked, and it is still 3 matter of argument if the coloniza- tion road or the Trans-Canada High- way is {nost important for the farmers of this district. In any case, we have heen promised so much by the men in charge of the Northern Development Branch, that it is only logical that we expect those men to come accross at least for part of these promises. Yes, if one thing goes wrong, it seems that every other thing turns the same direction. Even the sale of wood which in other years form quite an item in the settlers budget, is cut down to a minimum. ) In the early winter there was no possible chance of selling any fuel or pulpwood, this of course is a very remarkable condition, considering the two pulp and paper mills. Later on, through the continued effort of our member of Parliament, Peter Heenan sell a quanitty of This of course, we were able to spruce pulpwood. brought some relief in conditions.

The alleys will be reserved for lad: will be admitted, and no charge will be made for the game. Neighbour towns like Keewatin and Sioux Lookout have several teams of lady bowlers and if a sufficient number of ladies become interested in the gaine here teams would be formed in Dryden. The game is not too strenuous, and its beneficial effect on health is well known. Come and try your hand on Monday, and learn what an interesting game it is. The velarasial desire to do some- thing and keep on doing something for the Dryden Hospital eagerly accepted the suggestion of the Melody Five that a whist drive and dance could be ar- ranged in the School on New Year's day at which the orchestra offered to play. The result was one of the most brilliant and enjoyable social functions that Dryden has witnessed in years. It was altogether a success, and about $85.00 will be donated to the hospital funds as a result. Every detail was handled by an ex- pert in that particular department, this policy being followed even so far as having a Chartered Accountant to take the price of admission. And he proved a wonder at the job. Prizes were donated by Mr H. F. Bullard, Mr D. Kennedy, Mr Willard, Mr Pitt, Mr D. W. Scott, Mr C. J. Wright, Mr R. J. Pronger, Gough's Confectionery and Dryden Pharmacy. Other donations were $5.00 by D. W. Scott, and Gene McMonagle gave his prize chickens to be auctioned off -- proceeds $10.00. The committee wish to give special mention to Wm. Dixon and the Paper Mill dray, and to Mr Doudiett for able and willing assistance. Excellent cof- 'ee was furnished by the Lausanne, and the whist drive was capably mana- ged by Mr M. D. Hambly and Mr A. Clempson. We have still a few 1925 Calendars left.
