IX DRYDEN, Ontario, May 23rd, 1930 JH Puttering Around This Golf game is becoming more: atiractive, or more exasperating (ac- ; cording to your skill) all the time .| A neat little trench system has been dug near some of the greens znd the to form bunkers. one becoming monotonous. The greens themselves grass and a mixture of earih & sand which hes been, well rolled has pro- duced a surface tliat makes one wish one had , billiard cue instead of a putter. The Grounds Committee now in- alternative course of ne longer holes for those who find the present lay-out too simple to 'be interesting. This will include the most northerly portion of the farm, which has not been used up to the present. Speaking of the remark- it was noticed some days ago that a vener- able grey- haired gentleman ¢msisted that hg act as Caddy for a friend and his wife, so that he. could form his own unprejud' 'ced opinion of the sport The friend was an absolute tyro and thy score made would have been good at cricket. The self-appointed caddy had concealed a logging counter in his pocket and the constant 'tick-tock sounded like a dollar watch.-- It is considered that the friend had a per- fect alibi. There are many golf stories going i 'the rounds, but the fact remains that Drydey, is fortunate fn having an ex- cellent Club at a low membership fee and so very near town. When all is 'said and dome, it cannot be denied that this is a fascinating, health- giving game which appeals to all persons; irrespective of race rank or creed. All players are expected to be in possesion of membership tick ets by June First, and the nominal rolls are always open for all who 'wish to sign up. The committee earnestly desire that : drivers of cars keep on the driveway in going to and from the parking space. Driving over the fairway caus- es deep ruts which spoils the surface in both usefulness and appearance. Don't forget the dance in the Pulp' Mill Hall on the night of the 24th (tomorrow). Music by the Russell Ramblers. Dance starts at 8:30. FIRST TROOP--BOY STCOUTHS-- St Luke's Boy Scouts have chang- ed ther name to the First Dryden Troop, and a charter has been appli- ed for from headquarters.

Wall iof Aubrey, Secretary. In his opening remarks -Mr Klose of the after- of the meeting, and then called upon Mr Brasby of Upsula to speak. Mr Brasby gave a very clear out- ¥me of the position of the settlers at Upsula; of how people had been induced to setile there on the prom- on the Trans-Canad- Highway, and because of the advan tages to farming surh a highway would mean. Mr Brasby did no! believe the Government had been fai in its treatment +o the people of Upsula, and guaranteed that the peo- ple of Upsula were right behind this meeting and its purpose and would aid in every way possible. Mr Appleton of Osaquan, was the next speaker. He believed ws should be thankful for what favours we have received but was anxiously a- weyiting the time whey he could travel east or west by car.
