The Strand Theatre was pack- ed to capacity for the three act comedy "Nora Wake Up," stag- ed by the Notre Dame Dramatic Society of Kenora on Saturday evening. The play was cleverly done and the "Whistling Wond- er,' who accompanied the | troupe, almost brought the house down, so was his marvelous whistling. ; ATTENDS DEALERS MEETING A message which tells of stead- ily improving business condi- tions and genuine confidence in the immediate future, ro far as the automotive industry is con- cerned, was brought home Ty Alan Durance, of Durance Bios. & Co., Chevrolet Dealers, who recently attended the zone dea- ler meeting of General Motors of Canada, Limited. Present at the gathering were many bankers of the dis'rict, Mr. Durance said, and the gen- eral attitude regarding 1931 was one of optimism. This was brought out, he declared, by re- markable sales records for the first three months of the year. These revealed that Chevrolet had taken the lead over all other cars. Ontario = figures showed that per cent of all cars sold since the first of Janu- ary were Chevrolets and that practically half of all the cars sold in the same province were General Motors cary, + 27 Quoting from the address de- livered before the gathering by W. CC. Herring, general cals manager for (+eneral Motors, Mi, Durance stated that 1930 would prove to have to have heen a rock bottom year and that if the men of the industry worked con- seientiously, taking advantage of every opportunity that Can- ada at this ne this year would m ny dealers have a me out oe ars netty car ever experienc. ed. A feature of the me-tnz, he added. was the award of (ener- al Motors 'Efficient Se vie: Management' merit pin fo two of the service managers of dea- lers in this zone. The idea be- hind the award was to enable to.a still higher degree of effic- 'jency the servicing of motor ears i to i 1 leasure of trying tg thepoble,.. oy ~ a Pruning This is the usual mon h for pruning in the garden and or- chard. All of the dead canes should be removed from the raspberry patch as well as the spindly ones of new growth. Some of the older wood should be cut away from the goose: berries and currants. Grape vines must be pruned very early to avoid excessive Dl ed ng. HARVESTER NIGHT AT THE STRAND One of the largest crowds seen in the Strand Theatre since election time last summer, at- tended the picture show put on | by The International Harvester Company of Canada, on Wed- nesday evening, April 15th. The crowd consisted of farmers as well as towns people with the younger generation well repres- ented. The show started with a Com- edy which could be taken Lome to most everybody, showing the many disadvantages of a little carelessness botk to the farmer himself, his implements and his buildings. It created consider- able laughter to see the farmer struggling with an old awkward gate, tripping over the hay wire, chasing the pigs, cattle, ete. through broken fences, and en- ded up showing how easy it is to burn the buildings through the carelessness of the lantern and cigarette. Dominion Builders, another film showed the tractor and scrub eutter clearing and break- ing land, the large drills and binders, as well as the combined Harvester Thresher, cutting the wheat anl threshing it at one operation while the Motor truck hauled the grain to the elevator, | three men doing the work which used to take around twenty, besides doing it better and fast- | er. The Making of Twine, showed how the binder twine is made from the time it is picked from the Sisal plant right through until it is bagged and stamped producing the Big Ball with the patent cover, which prevents snarling in the twine can. In' the Orange Groves, took the audience down to the warm- er climates where hundreds of acres of oranges are grown, ass- isted materially by irr'g tion, done with the McCormiek-Deer- ing tractor and ditcher. This film had some of the mot heau- tiful pictures of the show, ihe scenery being the very best. The main picture of the even- ing" was the feature pieture "The Romance of The R-erer, this is a five reeler, filmed in 1930 on the old McCormick farm in Virginia, showing how Cyrus Hall McCo.mick, a young farm hoy invented the first reaper in 1831.

M Nymark, a had a miracu'ous escape from death Wednesday 'morning, when a team he was driving was hit by a westbound freight at the C.P.R. crossing, the horses being instantly killed. Nymark was hurled from the wagon against a fence and re- ceived several cuts on the head, injured his chest and leg, al- though none proved to be very serious. One horse was thrown over the bank, just West of the the other being carried up the track about a hundred yards on the cow cat- cher of the engine. The wagon and water tank, which was on it, were completely demolihed. Tom Alexander and Bert Berrey were on the scene imme- diately and rushed the lad to the Red Cross Hospital where he was treated by Dr, Dingwall and where he is now re_ting nicely. The team and wagon were the property of Jas. Hatch with whom Nymark was employed at the time of the accident. BY THE WAY (By D. Schurg) 1st Passerby (to 2nd Passer- by): '""Say, by the way, where are you going on May the First? There are so many things com- ing off that I hardly know where to go.' 2nd Passerby: "Well, I don't care where anybody else goes, but I'm going where I can get the best time for the least mon- ey; and after thinking it over I've decided to go to Waldhof." 1st Ditto: '"Waldhof? WHY Waldhof?"' 2nd Ditto: "Yes Waldhof, and I'll tell you why. Who is stag- ing a 3-act comedy, which is simply crammed full of laughs from start to finish and will give you the best time you've had in years? Waldhof is, and I for one, certainly don't want, to miss it. 1st: "Well now, I was speak- ing to one of the players, and I guess you're right at that." 2nd: "Of course I'm right. Then, by the way, who is pre- senting the best entertainment between acts? What Community has organized a Stringed Instra- ment Orchestra? Who is playing Harder's 'Schweizer Marsch' to keep you entertained before the curtain rises at eight o'clock? Who is having a lovely voeal solo between acts one and two? Who is presenting that haunting melody 'Odu mein Erzgeberg' between acts two and three? Who else but Waldhof? I, for one, enjoy really good eclas=ical music and that is another reason why I decided to go to Wald- hof."' Ist: "Well, T guess we'll have to admit that they are pretty hard to beat when it comes to musical talent.' 2nd: And, by the way, have you read their posters? Where is the snappiest dance music being played for the dance after? Waldhof of course." 1st: "Well, yes, I guess you're right again. 1 like them best anyway."' 2nd: "Sure I'm right. And then, by the way, where is the best floor te dance on, in the Dryden District? In Waldhot and you know it."' 1st: Well, T guess we'll have to hand it to them there al- vight.'? 9rd: "And what is more, where is everyone going on May the Virst? Wallhof, of course, and T want to go where the gang goes, but, by the way, where ar: you going?" ist: "Who, me? Why, - er, - Waldhof of course!"

DUSTY WARREN TO MANAGE DRYDEN SENIOR BASEBALL TEAM At a meeting of the Dryden Senior Baseball Club held in the Council Chamber, Town Hall. April 156th, Dusty Warren and Frank Willard were appointed to act as managers of the Dry- den Senior Baseball team for summer 1931. Voting was to have taken place the evening of April 17th, but Willard advised the president, Joe Russel, in the meantime that he wished to try to make a place in the team. Dusty was left alone in the field and accepted the position by ae- clamation. Warren in the past has proven his ability as a player and is expected to be quite capable of | 86, | WHAT DO YOU SAY? We don't wish them any harin but hope something sudden would hit some people, particul- arly the guy that comes along with a superior air and says, "1 told you so,"' or the one that gives you the haw, haw, when you hit the wrong nail.
