DRYDEN, ONTARIO, FEBRUARY 26th, 1932. oing AN AA A A A AANA A AA CO On Tuesday, February 16th, three Government Bills were in- troduced respecting Old Age Pengions and the Department of Labour Act and the Apprentice- ship Act. The former has to do with a change of administration which it is hoped will do away with some of the vices which have crept into the scheme ilur- ing the time it has been in op- The debate on the speech from the Throne was continued by Mr. Sinclair, Lead- er of the Tiberal Opposition in which he took the Government to task for the limited scope of i enquiry into the Hydro Electric Power Commission and move an Amendment to the motion of the Government was condemned for that attitude and demanding the enquiry extend to the mat- ter of purchases of power in large bocks and especially from the Quebec power interest. The Honourable H. C. Nixon, Prog- ressive Leader, continued <he debate declaring that the Cov- ernment had no mandate to carry on since virtually half of the Cabinet had gone into office since the last election and es- | pecially noting that Premier Henry had secured his office through a Caucus of the Govern ment Party and supporters not' by reason of decision of the electorate at large. He pointed to the loss of seats in the House | in by-elections and the greatly | reduced vote in other by-elec-| tions. He very greatly deplored the condition of Agriculture and took the Minister very seriously: to task for the lack of construc tive policy advocated by the, Department. He made particular yeference to the Dairy and Meat branches of the Department. He also condemned the Glovernment for the limited scope of enquiry into the Hydro and in particulary | to the $125,000 paid to Air, Jr. for Beauharnois. Premier Henry | also spoke and defended the position of the (lovernment by a sweeping denial that anything was wrong so that the scope of enquiry should he widened any particular. EE in On Wednesday one of the shortest sessions on record was held. It lasted about 5 minutes after prayers and consisted of one petition and the introduction of two Bills and the tabling of four reports hy the Provincial Secretary, The Premier in mov- | ing the adjournment of the | House stated that the Govern- ment was not prepared to pro-! ceed with any of the Legislature ; on that day. On Thursday the entire sess- | ion was taken up with the speech of the Premier in reply to the address during which he! spoke for two and one halt hours. Commencing with a per- sonal reference and explanation as to certain stories that had been circulated about his pri- vate business, the Premier stat- ed that he was President with- out executive duties of a Dairy; that this had come about through the amalgamation of the Fap- mer's Dairy and the City Dairy a couple of years ago. He had! peen one of the founders of the farmer's Dairy and had heen retained on the Directorate of the amalgamated Company at | the time this was formed.

L. Blair, telling of the death of Bunice J. Dickie. wife of A. E. Annis, which occurred the family residence at Orangeville, on Thursday, Feb- ruary 18th. I'he late Mrs. Annis with. her husband, A.

WHIST AND DANCE The Pulp Mill Hall was crowd- ed slightly in excess of 200 on Friday evening, when a very successful whist drive and dance was arranged by the Dryden Branch of the Canadian Legion. Thanks to Comrade Philip Carr, the hall looked its best, and nev-" er had a more pretty and attrac- tive appearance than it did on this occasion when it was gaily decorated with flags, ete., and brilliantly lighted by hundreds of clectric bulbs, encased chinese lanterns. That the ar- tistic efforts of Comrade Carr were vastly esteemed was very evident by the numerous com- ments of appreciation from the patrons. In whist, the prize winners were: Mrs, FF. Willard and Mr. W. Baker--Consolation; Mr. and W. Loutitt. Supper is al- ways an important item in all social functions, as this was pro- vided by the Ladies' Auxiliary, it naturally fulfilled all expec- tations, in every respect excell ent, not anything to be found lacking or more to he desired. Mrs. Hellem, and her committee very rightly earned every word of the warm praise justly bes- towed upon them. Of the dance, it can be stated that the onlookers derived as much pleasure as the partici pants in witnessing the animat- ed scene when the projector ' flung its colours upon the happy in' LADY CURLERS | VISIT KENORA The C.P.R. did a rushing business transporting Dryden j and Kenora citizens Saturday. The following Dryden lady curlers visited Kenora. Mesdames Durance, Winterbottom, Warren, , Alexander, Bartlett, Hamilton, Foulis, Russell, McRae, Morris, Crosier. Witt and Miss M. Me- , Gomegal. Enroute the women had their fortunes told by a palmist and t were promised much good for- j tune. They did bring back a cup, but it was a tin one from Woolworths. Arriving at Kenora the ladies were taken directly to the curl | ing rink in cars. In the three i games which followed Dryden | lost by 8 points. I In the spare half hour that followed everybody went shopn- ing, to Woolworths of course i for elephant charms and a cup. lA delicious dinner at the | Tourist Hotel was then enjoyed. + Mrs. McRae thanked the Kenora, ladies on behalf of the Dryden ! visitors for the lovely time and (invited them for a return ganic at Dryden. Mrs. Parrot, Pres. { Kenora Lady Curlers, replied to | Mrs. McRae's remarks. The next games were scheduyl- | ed for 8 pm. and equipped with elephants, the crowd rushed to the rink. In the next three c games, the Drydenites were more fortunate, only losing by | seven points. Mrs. Durance won her game by one point. Delightful refreshments were then served at the rink and this left just enough time 'to get to the rink. In the rush one of our members lost her ticket, hut we are glad to say we managed i to land her home safely. TORONTO, Ont, Feb, 24-- Charging that the firm which supplies employees of the Trans. Canada highway with board had brought potatoes from Manitoba, when -an Ontario farmers' co- oberative store was less than three miles away, Karl Hutchin- son, Labor member for Kenora, strongly attacked the depart- ment of northern development in the Ontario legislature Tues- day night, Mr. Hutchison was 'speaking on the address in reply to the speech from the throne, The member from the north i held the house spell bound for conditions in his constituency, criticized reductions of wages for Ontario forestry service aviators and mechanics, charged .that an airpane accident at i Rainy lake in which four men were killed was caused by use for forestry service, and declar- ed employees of Ontario paper mills were in difficulty because NO CONFIDENCE VOTE IN HOUSE OTTAWA, Feb. 23--A want of confidence motion in the gov- ernment on unemployment mas moved in the House of Commons nearly an hour as he discussed | of an airplane totally unsuited .

It was a difficult task to sec the Guides themselves, for, in some cases they were completely submerged in clothing, but the casual bystander found no diffi- culty in hearing their voeal or- gans raised in song, or, in some instances, yell. Arriving at the farm, over- coats were hastily divested and all gathered round, ecamp-fire style in the cozy living-room, while Captains Willard and Bart- lett conducted the games. Real Guide games, where each Patrol took part were enjoyed, and the Rangers gave their interpreta- tion of the "follies." i That all-important pastime--- - Lunch--followed, where home. made rolls and weiners found ample opportunity to "disappearing aect."' Since the hour was getting late, and the ride home was long, wraps were reluctantly donned, and the merry party, to the tinkle of four sleigh hells drove home. Two tired but happy Compan- ies of Girl Guides arrived in Dryden about 11 pm. all with one accord agreeing that it was one of the best sleigh rides ever, CHARGES DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ONTARIO STORE IN ROAD WORK PROVISIONS the International Pulp and Pap- er company had cut prices and | taken contracts away. Unemployment was very bad in his constituency, went on Mr. Hutchinson. Instead of spend- ing "thousands of dollars to | place a few Communists in jail, i why not spend a few hundred | for work in certain places to | prevent educating other Comni- | munists,"' he declared. The government at Ottawa, he | charged, "have headed the ecam- ' by this government.'"' There i had been a cry of economy rais- | ed by bankers and financiers, | and this was tending to cause a { demand upon the government to | stop relief works. Tf wages are to come down, there must he scaling down of interest rates, funded debts of all kinds and general equalizing all along th line, he maintained. The Trans-Canada contracts for der, he insisted. "Gypsum Queen," interrupted Hon. J. D. Chaplin (Comns., Lincoln .

Wright for loan of lanterns, ) a government motion to supply. I The amendment eriticized the government for "failing to ful- fill its pledges,"' Mr. Heenan told the House. and called upon "the government 'to bring in "immediately measures that would i effectively deal with the situa- , tion on unemployment," | "The present government," Mr. Heenan stated, 'resembles a ship disabled at sea and tossed about on the wild, wild ocean." "Wild, wild--Beauharnoig"-- | interjected several government { members amid laughter, i Were it not for the faet that ( some 'poor. gouls were aboard the ship it would be a derelict; and because there were were sore | poor souls aboard he wished to i throw out a life-saver, stated t Mr, Heenan. ay go 1nto Russell nan (Lib., Kenora). The motion his pledges. was made as an amendment to "Here is an opportunity to vote himself out of office," ob- | served Mr. Heenan. l' The reports of the govern- ment showed that unemployment had increased since he came in- to office in 1930, Mr. Heenan declared. The government did not pro- ceed with its resolution respect- ing the 10 percent salary ent of civil servants today, beyond giving formal notice that it would be considered tomorrow. In the absence, through indis- position, of Finance Minister Rhodes, the premier moved that tomorrow the House would go into committee of the whole to consider it. St. Luke's Guild will hold a card party in the Parish Hall on Friday, April 1st. There will be tables for both bridge and whist. do the | WILL 1932 END THE | DEPRESSION ? We come now to the conelu- a Son of a series of articles that' Lave been of great interest and i value to the writer, if not to the | readers. It never hurts one to think, "even if that thinking lead to no apparent results. As a matter of fact, when did ever, thinking or doing become immediately effective? Nor do we need to i vite instances, beginning with , Moses and ending with Presi. dent Hoover, Premier Bennett or Ramsay MacDonald. You will readily agree that divappointment seeing no ful- fillment of one's ideals, is the Cross of humanity. And there | 04 oh are few Immune from ideals, in Capitalism, Christianity or Communism. It needs a thousand books, "essays and preaching to put the germ into one idea for the betterment of mankind. This must be decreed by Providence ; how otherwise would man be so stupid in his own best interest. The Christian looks to the Millenium, he rarely if ever helps hasten it.

But why heap up pessimism? Roger Babson says that accor- ding to his chart, 1932 is the upturn, irregularly perhaps, hut that the rise in prices has start ed; meaning, of course, that with primary commodities im- proving in demand, the fog of paign to reduce wages, assisted depression has started to lift. That's it! Once again, we swing into an upward curve, the rise! being of no one's creation, just luck, just accident, perhaps just (Continued on Page 4) | FEW EXHIBITORS IN 1908 | ---- : | An old-timer in the industry recalls the earliest motor shows held in Canada. Consulting "records for 1908, he finds that the Canadian manufacturers who "exhibited at Automobile Show held in March in the St. Law- rence Arena, Toronto, were only four in number. They were Canada Cycle and Motor Co., Ford Motor Company, Olds- mobile Company of St. Cathar ines, and McLaughlin Motor Jar Company of Oshawa, Thanks The Women's Institute wish to thank all those who helped to make their Whist Drive and Dance, in aid of School Lunches, so successful.
