Fr 7) a THE NEWSPAPER SERVICE OF THE DRYDEN DISTRICT J COVERING THE TERRITORY BETWEEN FORT WILLIAM AND KENORA. 2 - Yo * DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JULY 1st, 1932 JOTTINGS BY THE COLUMNIST 1The Weather: © Yes, I am going to say some- thing about the weather, not be- ; pise of dearth of subjects, but Peae to it's deservingness. Such provoking showers drop- ping here and there on so many unjust people IT know of, and | missing folks that I take my] hat off to, for their godliness. Anyhow, there was a lot of smile mixed with a good deal of resignation. BR But came Friday, with its cool, gentle, silent, persistent, gener- al rain, and the country was! saved again. I do not know how many times' the country has been saved, but in my life's dairy, I have jotted down at least a score. Well, anyhow, we are now go- ing to have some kind of a crop, and I am unhappy. . That dry hot spell certainly killed the weeds, but now it hag been daylight to dark for me! with lambs quarter, pig weed, ! chick weed and twitch grass, | and a new curse, that I cannot name, that grows while you wait. Personally, if I had my choice, I would plant my garden with! cement, and pay the market: gardener, his extortionate prices, such as pumpkin fifteen cents al piece, and potatoes thirty cents a bushel. Let him get rich if he wants to, I should not care. Yesterday, I dug up a plot of poppies, that the weeds had chocked, and planted it to peas. Another heavy rain to the one I spoke of, came and exposed to my hawk eyed 'wife that the "peas had not been planted deep- ly enough. I am quitting gardening, after the abuse I took, hence my pes- simism. 2 The moisture that saved the country, damned me, * * s# It need one plane, and two business like occupants to set rumour buzzing, I have heard from several sources, that we are to have an air field, an airdrome, and all the accessories. When the Railway Company sends down an engineer to cheek up certain stakes on its proper- ty, we are immediately to be- come a divisional point. When someone comes from New York, we. are to have a mining boom. And so on through the piece. We are a hopeful, credible and gullible people. We are, furthermore, a lovable and hospitable community, to the stranger, because we have always treated him better than aur own, a This by the way, now for the facts as I have them. 3 #* # # From time to time, correspon- dence has come to the Board of Trade relative to Dryden's suit- ability for aeroplane landings. This has always been handled 'promptly and energetically by said splendidly = functioning Board of Trade. : When the plane landed in the River, it did not take long for certain members of the Execu- tive to find its business, . and give at some trouble, the need- dq information. bit was a reconmoitering party of two from Ottawa, sketching, noting for the future. It may be for next year, it may be ten years, 'but some day it is hoped to have a Trans-Canada, air mail service. Dryden may be on the | ?

Mr. Campbell ig b. and B. master on the Cana- dian National railways. The late Mrs. Campbell had heen in poor health for a lengthy period Elizabeth Seott Hutchison was born near Port Elgin, Bruce county, Ontario, in 1879, but at an early age moved with her parents to Dryden, Ontario. They were one of the early agricul turists of that district. On June 24th, 1903, she mar- ried Daniel Campbell and short- ly after came to Fort William te take up residence. They had resided here ever since. During her twenty-nine years of resi- dence in the city she became well known to a large circle of friends, who were shocked to hear of Ther passing Saturday evening: She wag- a devout member of Wesley United church and took an active and keen in- terest in affairs pertaining to the church. : Besides her husband she is survived by five children, Carl, of the grain commissioner's office, Winnipeg, who arrived home for the funeral; Lorne,! of the C.PR. engineering staff, Port Arthur; and Donald, Helen and Margaret, residing at home.

And furthermore, I under- stand we showed up very favour- ably. I was privileged to be invited with several others, to the Presi dent's house to meet the fliers. We spent a profitable and pleas. ant evening. The conversation naturally, turned to experiences of flying. Three of us, besides the visitors, had flown. We made the most of it, to the envious disgust of those whose heels had never left the ground. We, fliers of cQurse, nonopolised the talk. Next week, if in the mood, I ii il shall endeavour without embell- ishment to tell you what was gaid. Get your copy of the paper early, because the issue will be sold up at once. I am tired of being serious. Facetiousness is my forte. Lood for the story of "The Three Mosquitoes." Ly Classes in Dryden Public | School as arranged for year | 1932-33. | Note: : | 1.

Jf. Ernewein. The parents and friends of the pupils were received by Miss Boiteau herself. The rooms were artistically arranged with fresh pink and white peonies and green ferns and made a pictures- que background for the girls taking part, all attired in white. George Withrow acted as Master of Ceremonies and the entire programme was .remark- ably and capably carried out. The two assisting artists at the recital were Miss Mona Morris, who rendered a beautiful solo entitled ""Trees", and Mr, Q. McKinney, a violin selection. Miss Boiteau is to be much complimented on her sincere in- terests and efforts taken with the pupils during such a short while 'in Dryden. In order to show at least a small part of the appreciation felt by her pup- ils, Miss Boiteau was presented with an exquisite recital bou- quet of pink roses, the present- | ation was made by: ohe of the 'pupils, Dorothy "Withrow. Miss Boiteau awarded two prizes to the best attendant Ines Sfreddo, and the most diligent worker Mildred Ripley. The pupils taking part in the recital were as follows: Ines Sfreddo, Margaret and Mildred Ripley, Clair Ernewein, Dorothy Withrow, Emma and Victoria Strutt, Ruth Winters, and Cyril Wright. NOTES FROM THE ILLUSTRATION STATION AT DRYDEN CLOVER SEED PRODUCTION A type of medium Red Clover is being tried on the Station for seed production. Tt was secured from the clover growing dis- tricts of Quebec. Tt is an early maturing strain and in 1931 promised a very excellent erop but just as it came into hlossoin it was attacked by the larva of the Variegated Cutworm which destroyed about 90 per cent of all heads. Seed which was ob- tained was of high quality and has been used this year to. sow one of the Station fields. In 1932 part of the clover field in- tended for seed will he clipped back toward the end of June to see if this will induce a better seed setting and if the insect larvae again appear, clipping the field may retard the clover suf- ficient to keep blossoming back until the larval stage has been passed. The effects of different limes on clover growth will also be studied and the residual ef- feet of the manure and fertili- zer applied to roots will be made note of in the clover year. For additional information regarding clover seed production on the | Station apply to the Operator, ged with operating a motor|-- -- Mr. R. J.
