DRYDEN, Ontario, July 12; 1929 cer Curling Rink? WONDERING. what 'was behind the! notices that have WL from | time in this paper. relative to the promotion of-a curling rink, we wail | ed upon Mr Alfred Pitt to find what: he knew about: it. We found this {gentleman ponder; ing over a list of Giallaatalliniamanty and as he'said "trying to get enough | money to save his face at the bank" But he put the list a frown away, when we told him what we wanted. and that we had hit the' opportune time, is evident from What follows. He said that he had | always been' optimistic about Dryden, and enthus jastic over anything that would am eloirate its eondition, so much so. that he had atiempted to promoie & many things, that did at evoke re. ~ 0 "sponse, either because he was so visionary, or too much ahead of th time for them. [ He cited the Skating rink and Agri cultural Hall as one of 'those things but thought if we could not swallow a cocoanut, we could at least digest a plum. This plum a curling rink. : : This proposition is interest ng, and he wants us to announce a meeling in the Council Chamber. Wednesday July 17th, at 8 o'clock. The mes wf his scheme. which is published aow can be 'discussed there and then. It will not be pushed on anyone. it may thought over, between now and Wednesday. He suggests a two rink building. which is adequate enough to give Lorby.eight male curlers two games week. Forty..eight ladies con also play in the afternoons, After all, he says a curling a 18... ' a rink is better away from a skatin vor vd k, the noise if the skaters. the Orchestra, or the band, disturbing the commands of the skips .and tae general decorum of this dignified game. He proposes to acquire the pres. ent rink property, owned by Mr Wm Richardson, and others, they are wil. ling to pass over title for eight hun. dred dollars. Their asset is three lots land sufficient lumber almost baild a building 150 feet Tong and feet: wide, |8 feet at the side and feet at the top. The further assets are waiting room, electric wiring. stoves and wat. er laid in to the ground. The location is also to [the townspeople. Mr Pitt recognises that th is weather beaten, bub 12 corrugated iron over lumber, would make a warm. and fire_proof building, and that the iron over the wood would make good insulation, and a very strong and presentable rink. He has estimated for ircn nails and washers inside of $720:00. This makes '$1.530:00, and he Ir pes that $470:00 will do the work, thus requiring a capital of no more *han $2000:00. He proposes to raise this by sue of 80 shares of $25 each, He would capitalise the compan at $2500:00, leaving a margin $500:00 or twenty shares for contin- gencies.

Walker Victi 'of Drowning Accident THE sympathy of everyone in tac community goes out to those of family of Mr L S Walker of Bed worth. whose son was drowned in the Wabigoon River, on Sunday after noon. In company with several neighbor ing families, the Walker family was picknicking at the river at a point south of the Zentil farm when the tragic accident occurred. Along with several other young men, Arthur Walker swam out to a rock not very far fuom thie shore. The lads were returning. to shore when Arthur cried for help, and im mediately went down. There was no one in the party who was a good swimmer to effect a rescue, although it took much effort on the part of those on shore to preven: Bert, the younger brother from attempting a rescue. which, would only have meant a double tragedy, as the lad was no swimmer. The body was recovered a few hours later , after Coroner Morison and Prov. Constable Wrigat had been called to the scene, and the Doctor pronounced that the accident was due to the young man taking a cramp while swimming. rthur Oliver Stewart Walker had ved at Bedworth practically all his life. and was twenty:four years old. He was employed by the C:P:R: at the time of his death. Besides his mother and father he is survived by one brother, Herbert Henry, and one sister, Mrs Li A Orvis of Dryden.
