THE COLUMNIST When I was a little boy, I used to ponder over Judas Is- cariot. He was a terrible char- acter, and next to the Devil him- self, the greatest villain in his- tory. He was pictured to look the part. With shaggy dark eyebrows--villains are always dark--he scared the life out of me. There are some paintings that have impressed my life by their horror. Rubens "Descent from the Cross" is one of them. The "Unjust Judge' being flayed alive, another of them, and "Judas getting the thirty pieces of silver,"' as vivid in recollec- tion as any. The Jewish priests are saintly in visage, compared to Judas. And I was righteously glad when he hanged himself. But with adolescence my views changed a little. I began to think that Judas was the vietim of circumstances, and just a helpless cog in the wheel of fate. And with the assertiveness of the dawning man, I began to take the part of Judas. 1 was tilting at windmills of course, because a lot of people didn't give a darn about Judas. Thirty- five years ago, we were entering the period of religious indiffer- ence. So, who was Judas any- how? Those who did how about him, were greatly shocked, that anyone could be so utterly lost to conventional decency. Taking the part of Judas, finding ex- tenuation for him, were evi- dences of my soul's: damnation. I stuck to my guns, although they were so often spiked. My first punishment came, when I was dropped from the invitation to tea of nice people. And consequently I was only allowed to cast surreptitious glances at still nicer girls, whose mamas bid them shun me. I rather despise myself when I think of it now, but I dropped the cause of Judas. like a hot potato. What was the reputation of 'a dead man, compared to the vivacious smiles of lovely girls? I was not really converted, but I pretended to be, and once more I was forgiven and taken into the fold of good cooking. I was redeemed as a ram from the slaughter. With marriage and my own children I was not bothered particularly about the erring disciple. My children should be orthodox, and not unorthodox by any of my making. If the germ of my heresy developed later, it would not be my con- scious fault. So Judas and Jonah and other controversial matters lay in the limbs of forgotten "things. 1 I would not have bothered you with all this, but for one thing. I stumbled into a church pew the other night, with my nickle for collection, and to my amazement and delight, the preacher took up the cudgels for Judas. It appears now that Judas was not such a had fellow after all. Of course, his was more of a temporal power char- acter, than of a spiritual nature. He hoped that Christ would be "the medium of smashing up the Romans. He was a little disap- pointed naturally that the con- versations of the Master showed much indifference to: the foreign yoke, and he thought Jesus need- ed waking up. With this in view, he tried to jockey things Announcements ee Ee |) oF aml ods Announcements in this column are charged at the rate of 50¢ per inch, per week, with a minimum charge of 25¢.

RUMMAGE SALE BIG SUCCESS The Rummage Sale in the Pulp Mill Hall Saturday, under the auspices of St. Luke's Guild, attracted a large crowd of pur- chasers and proved quite a fin- ancial success to the sponsors. |: The Fireside Box drawing took place and Mrs. H. M. Davidson was the lucky winner. The Guild of St. Lukes wishes to thank everyome who contrib- uted to the success of the Rum- mage Sale last Saturday. into position. He fell for the priests. He had all possible love for his Leader, but thought Him a little slow. His manipulation ended so badly, he was so hor- ribly disappointed that he hang- ed himself. This is the barest gist of what T heard, but it suited me. Once more I am for a world that forgives Judas, although so terrible his crime.

BALL TOSSERS OR- GANIZE FOR COMING SEASON New Slate of Officers Elected: Membership Drive Started. More than thirty -expoments and supporters of the senior diamond pastime attended the annual meeting of the Dryden Baseball Club held in the Coun- cil Chambers last Thursday night te discuss plans and to elect officers for the coming season. President Jack Nicholson and acting secretary-treasurer louis Sfreddo summarized last season's activities and placed the finan- cial statement before the meet- ing for approval.

Davidson; Manager--Lorne Whiting; Umpire in Chief-- Barney Evans; tee--Frank Willard, Lorne Whit- ing and Count Sfreddo; Grounds 'Committee--Milo Upton, Arthur 'Clempson and Louis Sfreddo; Membership Committee -- Thos. Foote, Arthur Taylor and - Phil Moore. Club finances came in for some discussion, and in this connection the membership com- mittee was instructed to carry on a drive for new members amongst the citizens of the town. Apart from the financial benefit derived it is hoped that renewed interest in the game will be awakened by the efforts of the committee. Team management rests en- tirely in the hands of Lorme 'Whiting, and opportunities and inducement will be offered to future club strength. Hearty votes of thanks were tendered to the retiring manager Hugh J. Adair and other officers. Best wishes for Hugo Binda's speedy recovery were voiced. Plans for an auspicious open- ing on May 24th were laid, in- cluding a dance at the close of the day's activities. The membership committee re- quested the co-operation of all present in their drive for new members. A small nominal en- trance fee is requested, together with enthusiasm and interest in the team's welfare.

The verse is a more or less commonplace parody of the Stein song, but the chorus has a touch of poetic genius, and no one who knows the Lake of the Woods areca can fail to have memories stirred as he hears or reads it. It goes this way: To the pines, to the birch, and the quiet of wood on a Sum- mer day; To the lake, to the hays, and the lilies that lie by the shadow- ed shore; To the bass, to the trout, and the music that comes from a singing reel; To the deer, to the moose, and the snow-laden woods and their trails. The great heritage which ix Kenora's is probably never bet- ter expressed than it is in these lines. Because they realize the tre- mendous potential value of this heritage, the men of Kenora, though business is quiet there as elsewhere, are by no means - downhearted even in these diffi- cult times. They are looking ahead to an assured future. They have a particular reason for (Continued on Page 4) On Wednesday, April 19th, the Wolf Cub Packs celebrated their third year of ex- istence in Dryden.
