No. 1. THE COLUMNIST Mine is a fitting theme for the first week in January. Every high school adolescent knows Net the god for whom January is enlled, was Janus the two faced, looking back and peering forward. And as I mused a night or so ago, upon what I should write, I thought I would! talk of friendship. Not of course, that all friendship is two faced. By no means, but what a proportion of it is. There are so few Davids and Jonothans, Jesus and Johns, Damon, Pythiases, that they be- come classics. Rare are rare friendships. I speak with an experience of some years and I have had few friendships. Friendships stand- ing the test of time, adversity, and habits. A friendship that would endure me, when I snif- felled, or did not bathe, or had continuous bad breath, is a friendship to extoll. Better still of course is a friendship that would tell me of these things, and still not have perfect accord marred by resentment. I believe that friendship is never made at once. Of course there is love at first sight, buv that is between man and woman. That is love not friendship. The friendship I mean is between man and man, woman and woman. : A friendship between man and woman is a dangerous thing. 1 have never tried it, or at least I have to say so. We read of the Shaw-Terry letters, and others that I could cite, but in them I can recall no absolute permanence, so I dismiss mixed sex relationships. If you think I am boshing, ask yourself how many friends you. have. Not the ones you golf, card, curl, tea and dine with, but the real, give up half what they own for you, kind. I could count mine on one hand, without the thumb. Thank goodness, I can mind one or two over the years, that I shall miss if they are not in Heaven with me. I shall search the planes and if they are now- where there, I shall ask God to find them for me, even if in the veriest and utmost Hell, and to send me with them, then were no Hell. The supreme, ineffable delight of wandering from ethereal place to place; comparing notes, sizing up Moses and the saints. With such a one, is to envy and acclaim- the future. I have transports of joy, and ecstasy when I think of these, one, two, three or four friends. And so Janus like, I look. back- ward and forward, two faced, but not in the bad sense, at friendships made in the years, that could not be marred in the future. J And T ask, but cannot an- swer, why is it that these friend- ships are so few? Not in the sense of universal fewness, but few to each of us. Fach of us must have at least one friend as I have described, but it seems providential, that none of us have many. : 'What about the other side' 'What about the so called friends that we play with, do business with? I suppose they have their a place with us, as we with them. $ It were well that we make no When they profession. mistake about them. profess, test their ANNOUNCEMENTS There will be a Hockey Game between the Married Ladies" and the Town Girls on Monday even- ing, January 9th, at 7 p.m. Admission be and 10e. * H* * The annual general meeting of the Canadian Legion, B.E.S.L.

HOCKEY DANCE IS BIG SUCCESS A very successful Whist Drive and Dance was held on Monday night in the Mill Hall under the auspices of the Dryden Hockey Club. Those winning prizes at whist were: Ladies' I1st--Mrs. MecCreedy; Ladies' Consolation --Miss Carrie Weeks; Gent's 1st --Mr. E. J. Warren; Gent's Consolation--Mr. Frank White- ley, jr.; Door Prize--Mr. Hans Kurtz, who donated the prize (98-Ib bag F. R. Flour) to the local Red Cross Hospital. The Club wishes to express their thankfulness to all those who helped in any way, shape or form. There is a vast difference; be- tween profession and conduct. When you find that difference, do not go up in the air, it is not worth it. Do not say, pish, tush, hell, damn. Just smile, perhaps wisely, not turning your back. You might be daggered. Perhaps you say these are strange thoughts, for the be. ginning of 1953. I do not think £0. My wish for you, two fine friendships. Owning these, then no adversity, mis- fortune, poverty, nor ailments can take the joy from your life. My further wish for you, is a transcendent sense of humour. is one or a humour that will carry you over the hummocks of false or fair weather friendships, because with an appreciation of the ludierous, you will never admit a knowledge of the sham esteem to the person so counterfeit. And therein will lie your good fortune. I cannot wish you lots of work, oodles of money, fat pigs or anchovies, because these are not coming in 1935. I can wish you true friends. £5) - ) SE- () SHED) FED) GEIR () MAD (ED) F- SED- ) > ()- SD ()-S- () S Announcing Toilet Preparations, The Harris ?

It is possible now to give a full report of the work done. Through the generosity of the citizens of Dryden $509.20 was given to the fund.

Total expendi tures amounted to $405.96, leav- ing a balance of $103.24, which the Committee, at a meeting held on the 4th inst. decided to hold for emergency cases dur ng the balance of the winter, The Committee were unani- mously of the opinion that the centralization of the Christmas work done was an undoubte! success and we feel that the different organizations and in- dividuals contributing will agree that the money has "been wisely expended. The Committee also passed a very hearty vote of thanks to those who gave the use of their trucks and to Mr. MecRae fro the use of his office. The Committee is doubly in- debted to the organizations who contributed toys. . Their work was greatly appreciated. The Organization formed before Christmas will carry on until the end of the year, when no doubt arrangements will be made to carry on the fund for a further period. The President personally wish- ed to express his thanks to the Buying, Packing and Distribut- ing Committees for the manner in which they made the under- taking a decided success.

We wish to thank you ver much for the wonderful parce we received on Christmas Eve We sincerely hope this Nev Year will bring to one and al of you the pleasure and happin ess your "Christmas Remem- brance" brought to us. - Sincerely yours, Mr. & Mrs. J. W. Winterseill, "You are charged," said the judge, "with beating up this government inspector. What have you to say?' °° "Nothing," replied the groc- er. {1 am guilty. 17 lost my head. All morning T held my temper while government agents inspected my scales, tasted my butter, smelled my meat, graded my Kerosene. In addition, your honor, I had just answered three federal questionnaires, Then this bird came along and wanted to take moving pictures of my cheese and I pasted him in the eye." TO THE PEOPLE Of DRYDEN & DISTRICT I wish to take this opportuni y of thanking you one and all for your wonderful support during my short stay in Dryden, I cer- tainly did appreciate your busin- ess and I did just about twice as well as I had hoped I would do. At this time I wish to make it clear that I am leaving your town, not because I do not like the people of Dryden and Dis- trict, or because I did not get my share of your support, Lut, because the Ontario College of Pharmacy refused to grant me 'my Ontario Diploma and it is against all regulations to prac- tice without it. Ontario's ap- parent reason for mot granting said diploma, is because of some new resolution passed by them in the fall of 1930. I was ignor- ant of this resolution and so I believe was everyone else, but 'he members who passed it. Be- sides IT attended the University of Manitoba two years before this resolution was passed. My business is heing taken over by Mr. Reginald Harris of Kenora. He is a full-fledged rraduate druggist of the Ont- ario College of Pharmacy and will appreciate any business you may give him. Any prescriptions you have will get his personal attention and will be filled to the letter. Trusting you give him a fair share of your support and in return, 1 believe he will give vou prompt and courteous ser- vice. Again I wish to thank you very sincerely and extend to you my heartiest wishes for a better, happier and more pros- perous new year. Sincerely Norman Ericksen. Thanks I wish to thank all those who supported me on Election Day for Van Horne Township coun- cillor. We, as councillors, shall endeavour to do our best during the coming year.
