THE NEWSPAPER SERVICE OF THE DRYDEN DISTRICT RA EC SN COVERING THE TERRITORY BETWEEN FORT WILLIAM : AND KENORA., | VOL, X. No. 3 NS THE COLUMNIST From time to time some of our old citizens, or :more correctly. old time citizens, come back to visit us, may be for just a day or so, perchance a couple of weeks. So of these have done better by departure, some not so well, some have escaped #he depression, others are right in the thick of it. We are always glad to wel- come them, and learn what they have to teach us. We know without them telling that we have a punk Mayor, and weird Council, an unlucky 'Baseball Team and a poorly en- forced speed law, that a lot of places need painting and that there is an absence of shade trees on the street. So, we ac- guiesce in all they say, and promise to do better some day. But all our wviistors are not critically inclined. ; * * Eo For instance. One pleasing face seen lately was that of M. S. Campbell. He never lets us down, but rather talks delight- fully of the years spent in Dry- den. Influential position has not spoiled him. ~ Mr. Campbell is now in Ott- awa, highly useful in the De- partment of Labour. He takes a bond in settling strikes, and perhaps even heads them off. 1 am not quite sure that, T should say this, becausé nothing spoils a man's usefulness like eulogy. However, I beleive that twen- ty years as railway agent at Dryden, would qualify even a dub for conciliation, and Mr Campbell was never anybody's fool. I would not low myself to openly disagree with M.S, after I saw him on separate occasions shut up two of our best haran- guers, and I have always felt that this ability to speak rapidly and tensely would be of material help when either side of am in- "dustrial disagreement got a bit thick. el Life, with its vagaries has|p moved on; the subject of my sketch has left us, probably not to return, in any sense, perman- ently, yet T always feel he made a lasting mark on the destiny of Dryden, in the Public Schoo! that has educated hundreds or thousands of children under more comfortable conditiony than would have been possible but for Mr. Campbell's insis- tence and vision. It was a pregnant and critical year when the Public Scheol was built, Just a little bit more enthusiastic antagonism, and hip, hip, hurray, for a frame mon- strosity. And so I say to you kids and flappers of six to twenty-five, take off your hats to 'Mr. Campbell when he comes to Town. You owe it te him, because while, naturally, his is not the gole credit, he was progressive in your interests. ® % =» Now I do not want to get into any trouble by playing favour- ites; but I must devote the re-| mainder of my space to another town boy, who has been back with us for a few weeks. Arthur Pitt for nearly a month has been visiting his old, but honest parents. Notwithstanding his thre years sojourn in the land of hong grafter and the promoter (see| Canadian homilies) he hag in- herited and retained the sterling honesty inculeated in his youth because unlike so many of our to nr STRANGE see _J.

Anyone wishing to make an ap- pointment may do so at Drs. visitors, he buys his fishing He- ense to fish, driver's license to motor, and pays his golf fees to golf, and thus satisfies himself that he is no barnacle on the creaking ship of state. Arthur still talks Canadian, perhaps to our surprise, nor has he any New York airs, to our disadvantage. He is plainly him- self, and has not changed. If he notices that his father wears his braces over his shirt, or that his socks drop to his, boot tops, nothing is said to hurt Dad's feelings, he leaves the old chap with 'slovenly habits nn. perceived. Arthur is in the insurance bus-, iness in Newark, doing fairly well, and hopes to do better. He tells me he found a world] of friendliness in Dryden during this visit. * LJ # And so I hope for no jealousy because IT have picked these two outstanding characters for the week.

Still others accuse it of '"mould- ing public opinion," whilst from a third quarter comes the report that the pressis "'biased."" Allow the writer of this article to an- swer these charges: Firstly, the public "press is "capitalistic" in the sense that ia requires capital to "carry on" with. Without capital our news- papers would have to suspend operation. Secondly, true, the press moulds public opinion, but it al- so reflects public opinion in its Fetters to the Editor column. Thirdly, if some of our politi- clans were ag unbiased the coun- try would be better off. After all, it is Impossible to please everyone--meore especially crit- ics. 1leaving any trail up to the nest that they never found it again, much to the disappointment of the rest of the company.
