The wedd- ing to take place early in April, --Northern Observer i A 3 a t Confirmation at St. Luke's Church Dryden Last Tuesday evening the Rt. Rev. Lord Bishop of Keewatin confirmed thirty-two candidates, prepared and presented by the Rector, Rev. W. Martin (Clarke. Most of the Confirmees were of adult age, but there was also a fair nember of young members. The Service was very impressive and the Bishop's exhortation to candidates struck home forcibly to everyone pre-ent. It is of course a well known fact that when Pewdney speaks, he can command con- sideration to the "deep things of God."" Needless to say that the church was overcrowded and that members had to be dissapointed for admission. Yet in 'spite of this adversity, many friends of the Confirmees wait- ed outside throughout the ser- vice to greet their friends. the Bishop His Lordship stayed with Dr. P. H. Wood (Church warden) and will return again to ad- minister Holy Communion on Easter morning. The first ser- vice will commence at 8.30, and again at 11 o'clock, The minister of this church, wherever he goes, will always remember this service with great joy, neither will he for- get that this labour of love is the harvest of many a joint lab- ourer, especially Mrs 'W. Maun- sell, a friend he admires, and to whom he is greatly indebted, we as members of St. Luke's are very grateful also, and trust that this Parish will abide in the grace of God."

The First of its Kind | The Health Socket' s Branch of the Junior Red Cross, which is the only organization of its kind, in Dryden, held their first open meeting in the Town Hall, Saturday, March 28th, at 2 p.m. This club was organized in tlie Jr. ITT Class by Miss Weeks in November and the first meet- ing was held December 19th, 1930. The aim of this club, as the name implies, is that all strive to become healthy boys and girls, and thus in future years, healthy men and women, citi- zen we will all be proud of. The meeting was brought to order by a "Red Cross Yell" led by Miss Weeks. The resi of the necting was then earvied on by the President, Stanley Lock, All sang "O, Canada." The minutes of the last meeting were read by Doris Harris. This was followed by the reports of the Circulation Manager, Eeise, and Convenor of the Health Committee, Marybelic Wood. The business part of the meeting was omitted and a very splendid programme put on, "Before talking of the pro- gramme, I must commend the officers of the Health Seekers on the splendid and able way in which they carried on their meeting being entirely in char ge of the President. Miss Weeks gave a very in- teresting talk on the Junior Red Cross. She said, '"Some people think that too much time is spent in this work. I. do not think so. We may spend a number of our Hygiene periods in Junior Red Cross work but we are learning to live our rules and--to-play- the Health Game. This is indeed a good deal better than having a great list of rules on paper and not following them. All the Juniors strive to live the Health Rules, and S0, becgme healthy and strong."' "Others think there is too much work to the Junior eRd Cross. Quite true. There is a great deal more work for the teacher but she is more than repaid for her time and energy by the splendid co-operation and backing given by the pupils. Every Junior shoulders part of the responsibility of the organi- zation. Ths leads to better dis. cipline in their school routine and the pupils learn how husin- ess metings should proceed, thus promoting citizenship. The aim of the Junior Red Cross is twofold: First of all, they want to help the suffer- ing and secondly, they aim to prevent suffering. - The pro- ceeds from this meeting are to be donated to the: Soli! Children's Fund to help the suffering there. There are two hundred thou- sand Juniors working together in Canada and there are eleven million Juniors in forty-one countries. This shows us that the Junior Red Cross is indeed a very important organization, otherwise so many would not take part in it. Boys and girls are able to develop an Inter- national feeling and friendliness through this club by means of letters and portfolios which are sent to and received from other countries. Up to recent times this has never heen possible. It is indeed a wonderful thing hecause it gives the children a clearer insight to the happen- ings in other lands and this should develop a future genera- tion with a spirit of love for peace with their cousins of oth- er lands." The programme consisted the following: 1--Red Cross Song ... Juniors 9-- Recitation, Paddy's Garden Bernice Bailey of Stella |= - Clark, on the afternoon of the perfor- RICE LAKE Spring celebrated its arrival here by frequent snow storms and a prolonged cold spell. - A joint meeting of the School Board, Settlers' Welfare (lub and Sports' Committee was held in the schoolhouse om Friday cvening, The dance held on the follow- ing night was well attended. Though supposedly a hard-time dance, very few were dressed for the contest. The prizes were won by Mrs. Dune MeArthur and Mr. Alvin Mallory. . J. Groves is busy hauling on to Dryden. Mr. W. J. McArthur and Mr. D. Rankin, who have heen scri- ously ill, are able to he out again, Visitors--Mr. J. Teaver at Mr. T. Hazlewood's; Mrs. Har- man at Mrs. Mallory's; Miss Edna Pope at Mr, W.

Dolly Neill 5--Recitation, Bud's Hat, Frank Olsen 6--Dance and Song, Little Elves 7--Double Duet -- Merrily the Cuckoo--Mary Leise, Helen Nijl- son, Earle and Tommy Cooper. 8--Folk Dance--I See You. 9--Play--The Key to. Health. The programme was entertain- ing and well carried through. The play was both interesting and instructive. All whe saw it must surely benefit from the splendid lessons it set forth. The performers very success- fully expounded the secret to Health. The secret could not he re- vealed by the keeper of the safe until efforts of his helpers, Sun- shine, Fresh Air, Rest, Posture, Cleanliness, Temperance, Food, Clothing ,Exercise and Cheer- fulness, released the combina- tion. Then the Key to Health fitted perfectly. When the door of the safe wag opened it revealed a healthy sleeping child. The programme was closed by the President thanking the people for the support given to the Juniors and announcing that the donation to the '"Cripp- led Children's Fund" would be fourteen dollars. The meeting was thea closed by all standing and singing "God Save the King."? The Juniors wish to thank Messrs Tock, MeKinney, and for their kind assistance mance, MA. HEENAN QUESTIONS HOUSE ON MERGER Premier Says No Combine Will Be Permitted to Override Dominion Laws OTTAWA, April 1.--The gov- ernment was asked in the house of commons last night if it in- tended to do anything to block a rumored $600,000,000 merger in the paper industry. The question was put by Hon. Peter Heenan, former minister of labor. It was proposed, Mr. Heenan to discontinue the high- price mills, focussing production the low-cost establishments. This would result im threwing : of work and said, in no combine will be permit - of the contravene the laws Dominon, REWARD ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS Five years ago a certain in- surance man made the sate ment that regardless of any- thing we might publish, he was sure that Policy holders in eur Company had a contingent lia bility beyond the amount of their premium. We called his bluff by offer- ing the above reward to anyons, anywhere, who could show proof that any such liability existed. No one has claimed the reward so far. The offer still stands. Our Charter reads as fellows, '""A Policy holder shall be lia- ble to the extent of the amount unpaid upon his premium, note or upon his cash premium AND NO MORE." We offer you the same policy in every detail with greater sec- urity for less money. The Wananesa Mutual Tmsur- ance Company, the largest CAN- ADIAN Fire Insurance Comp- any, J. L.
