The Committee in charge of the Red Crocs Hospital is responsible for the mainten- Lance of the building and eguip- ment. Naturally in an ing'itut- ion that is being made constant use of, as the Red Cross Fosni- tal here is, the wear and tear is . considerable. At the present | time the interior of the building has to be re-painted, not having "been done for three years it is looking very shabby, the floors, 'which have had hard usage for nearly seven years, are getting 'in bad shape and will need re- placing. These two items alone will run into a considerable sum of money and yet to keep our hospital looking respectabls and in a position to carry out the work with 100% cfficiency, it should he attended {o at cn-e To a very large extent the Hos- pital has heen catering to the people in the cutside dist its and from these same districts the committee would like to sce rather more -support than fs 'been given. To any person in 'the outlying districts interested in giving help, could you not ar- range with some of your neigh- hours to raise some funds as a contribution to this very valua- ble and needy work? { Perhaps it would interet many lof the readers of this asticle to know just what the Dryden Rel {Cross Hospital has accomp.ished iduring the six years that it has been established here, the fol- lowing figures will speak gE volumes The funeral of the late Mrs. VOLES. a : J.

The fees paid by patients do not he- gin to cover ne running expeu- ses therefore the Ontario Red (Cross Society, which looks after these expenses for us must have: to find the money from some- where. Following is the finan- cial report of the Dryden Hos- pital sent to us by the Cntario Division. From 1924 to 1930 inc. Total Operating Cost Patients fees and Govt. Grant $80,103.19 51,830.28 Balance of operating deficit assumed by the Red Cross Society 28,272.91 By this report you will see that Dryden Hospital and all the people of this district have beet the recipients of a straight eift of over $28.000. This fact alone should surely move tke people of Dryden and vicinity to de all they possibly can towards' the financial end of its local organi- zation, and show by their good will that they do appreciate the magnificient way in which the Ontario Division has helped us. There is one means by which individuals might help and it would not be a great burden upon any one, that is by paying an anncal membership fee of $1.00, if five or six hundred people in or around Dryden were to help in this manner, at least the burden of the local society would be lifted. To those resiil- ing outside Dryden it might in- terest you to know that besides giving an annual grant which would average around $500 a year, the Town of Dryden pro- vide free all the Electricity, Water, Telephone, the Local Im- provements which amounts to considerably over $1,000 a year and you are getting the benefit of all this as it is estimated that two thirds of the patients come from the country, Now after all this, what are you going to do about it? In view of the statistical report there is no doubt that the hospi- / ANNUAL GOLF MEETING A large and enthusiastie erowd turned out for the annual meet- of the Dryden Golf Club, held last Wednesday evening and the following officers were elec- ted for the coming season: Mr. J. 5.

Another interesting item + a motion to allow school hia ren to play at certain times and under certain conditions for a small fee. Details of this will be published later. This is a good opportunity for the pa sters to learn to play the fines game of all. The executive has elected a strong committee to look after competitions and it is their in- tention to make things interest- ing this season.

Readers in all the School Districts around are ur- gently requested to get together and try some ways and means of raising some funds to help, 'perhaps some one would canvass for memberships, 20 or 30 in a district would help a whole lot. The secretary will supply you with receipt books if you so de- gire. If a car of wood could be sent from some place along the line this would help also. There are many ways of Gi things if you will only try. The Com- mittee will meet in the Town Hall, Dryden, Monday, April 13, any persons interested are eor- dially invited to attend. Albert J. Lock, Seepetary pay an official Reid - Milling A very pretty wedding was solemnized on Easter Sunday morning, in St. Mary's Chureh, Sioux Lookout, when Jean Marie, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Milling, of 2nd Ave. was united in marriage to John Walter Reid, of Kenora. Rev. Mr. Sevier performed the cere- mony for which Easter Lilies formed an effective background. The Bride, who was charming- ly attired, was given away by her father. She was gowned in daffodil yellow, georgette ciepe, ankle length and wore a large picture hat to match. She sled a rel of Easter Lillies and Daffodils and was attended by fo sister, Dorothy TIithel, who looked charming in a gown of cameo pink georgette prin- lines with picture hat {to She carried a bouguet of rose buds and lillies of the valley. Mr, George Wigle, of Dryden, supported the groom, cess mateh. [Following the ceremony, a re- ception was held at the bride's sister's home, Mrs. O. BE. Skene. The room was decorated with white streamers, and wedding bells. The brides cake center- ing the table with daffodils, tended to make the table more attractive. Following the reception, the happy couple left on No. 1 for Quibell, enroute to Toronto and eastern points. On their return, Mr. and Mrs. Reid wil reside in Kenora. ii OPENING OF THE CREAMERY IFrom information to hand the Creamery will open about the 20th of April. A new manager in the person of Mr. J. S.
