ss COVERING THE TERRITORY BETWEEN FORT WILLIAM AND KENORA. /THE' NEWSPAPER SERVICE OF THE DRYDEN DISTRICT J VOL. X. DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JUNE 10th, 1932. No. 24. JOTTINGS BY OUR COLUMNIST I wandered in to the Chautau- qua organization meeting the other night. Wandered in, is not perhaps corréet. It might be truer to state that I was hauled in, because being late, I was modestly hiding: behind some steps. There were at least twenty: five very enthusiastic people eagerly, interestedly listening to the outline of the organizer. There is nothing like Chautan- qua. in fine organization, and I was prompted to say to my next seat neighbour, "How do they do it, for the money?' It is a matter for wonder, so many good entertainments for so little money. : And we were told on the repu. tation of the management, that this year Chautauqua outdoes itself. : a pair of trousers, for this het weather." I think they can be bought in Town for three dellars. But now I am going to patch my old ones and go to Chautauqua. I was going to buy light ® The snap eaps being sold around town are an. indication of the depression. This little device costs ten cents, and I am told can be used hundreds of times. If you have not seen it, ask your grocer, confectioner, or druggist to show you one. Briefly, you are not supposed to drink an entire bottle of ginger ale, or any refreshing liquid at one sitting. You en- joy part of the bottle, and set the balance aside for the next hot day. You put a snap cap 'on the container, and vest in perfect security, that the con- tents left, will be alright, when you go back. With due moderation and res- traint, this ten cent investment will save you many dollars.

A sav- ing new to country places. Items like these may seem puerile, in a mature and philos- ophical column, and yet, why the fortunes of Wrigley, Wool worth and Cocoa Cola? I made a prophecy last week, true, a somewhat nebulous one, but it stands. This week I. am going to make a more definite one. This prophecy is that the future poli- ties of this country are going to be controlled by Labour. Not red labour, or socialistic labour, or communistic labour, but sensible, sane property lov- ing Labour. This to the elim- ination of the two eration are getting of. : But before obtaining this re- sult, Labour will have to cleanse "itself, asitical demagogues. rather tired I use this word in its facetious, sense, It must also get away from its hatred of the so called white collar elass.

Well, having got so near, we determined to see him, so we hit for Sylvian Lake as our stopping place that night, during this trip was our only wet time on the whole journey, the lake was anything but syl- van, it was rough and windy and muddy. We found a nice comfortable hotel, this being a summer resort, it is well supp- Lied with hosteleries. Next morn. ing we made enquiries re the road to Mountain House and was assured that it was impass able, having been newly made up and well soaked with two week's rain, This was a blow, enquired later and found two cars had come from there during the morning, se after dinner T put on the chain and filled up with gas, left wifey at the hotel and the rest of us took the car through, Say, was that some trip!

A petition signed by the majority of local business people, suggesting that July 2nd be Ge- clared a civic holiday was pre- | sented and on the motion of Councillors Morison and Willard it was decided that July 2nd be declared a civic holiday and that a proclamation to this effect. be published in the Ob- server for three issues. The question of supplying electricity to Van Horne resi. dents, adjacent to the town limits, was further discussed and the matter of an agreement between the Township and the Town was left for consideration at an early special meeting when more particulars will be available. A letter was read from the Board of Railway Commissioners advising the Council that the Board did not believe a subway was unecessary and suggested that warning and stop signals be installed and the removal of the water tank which does ob- secure some of the view of the west bound track at this point, would make the crossing reason- ably safe. The Council of the Board of Trade also wrote forwarding a copy of the following resolution passed at their last council meeting: "That this Council is of the opinion that a Traffic Bylaw "should be drafted by the Coun- cil of the Town of Dryden.
