THE NEWSPAPER SERVICE OF THE DRYDEN DISTRICT Weald Se COVERING THE TERRITORY BETWEEN FORT WILLIAM AND KENORA. VOL. XI. DRYDEN, ONTARIO, MAY 26th, 1933. No. 21. » THE COLUMNIST ! re, not popular enough to turn "he asking down, but we are If T were to tell you, that copies of this weekly paper are being sought from all parts of Canada, because of this column, you would put me down, as either a crazy liar or supremely egotistical. But my dear readers, I am telling truth, when I state, that it is unexpected and as- tonishing, from whence requests come. ; i Of course, these enquiries are always unaccompanied by money and it always costs us postage we can 'illy spare, yet there we slowly getting into fame. We, means the paper and L Now, please do not misunder- stand me. I could never have the ego of George Bernard Shaw, nor the ex cathedra dignity of a Lippman, because my pride would be always chastened by my friends, but it is rather nice that despite wite, children and chums I am coming into my own. It is doggedness and not ability that does it. The bull dog tenacity, that makes me take grammar, diction- ary, encyclopedia, hand book of good English, and compendium of synonyms, antonyms, prefixes, as well as treatises on split in- finitives, and work into the small hours upon what I write. 1 succeed mot because of the brilliance of my effulgence, (whatever that means) but by the potency of my energy. I produce the evidence, by the remainder of the article. At great effort and for your benefit I have been studying Chinese. I know that you, as well as I, have been feeling the depression seeking its cause, to find the remedy. : You will be interested in know- ing that the Chinese have record of a slump over three thousand years ago. This is about the old- est one I can find from the of- ficial histories. The Chinese word for depression is Huang, which really means desolation. Our English pronunciation would be Wang. And, of course, we have been wanoling along for the last three years. Now, I am going to surprise you a great deal more. You doubtless think "chow" is a slang word. It is of course slangy to say, "What kind of chow did you get?' or "How did you find the chow?" And doubtless some century ago mariner, jokingly, brought it out of China, because there was a Duke of Chow who wrote one of the thirteen Con- fucian classics twelve hundred years before Christ. I had minor trouble with some of the translation, hut be- that ing assisted by Dr. Kiang Kanghu, of MeGill University, am able to summarise what Duke Chow said. l.ack of space prevents any detail. He had twelve suggestions all fully amplified, and in barest skeleton, here they are: Distribution of Surplus Treas- ures. Lowering of Taxation. : 0: Mitigation of Severity Criminal Punishment. Witdolding of Labour Con- scription. Lifting of Legal Prohibitions against use of State Property. Abandonment of Trade Res- trictions.

I owe a good deal of these ideas to Mr. Marven, Economist of the Royal Bank of Canada, whose knowledge of Chinese is slightly greater than mine, through getting his laundry done out, but between us all, Kiang Kanghu, Marven and myself, you are enabled to see that depres- sions are not new things, and moreover, that they were not lasting things. At all times, in the World's history, some great man has arisen to cope with them, like Duke Chow, with his twelve measures. Which gives us chow for thought. 0) GE) GED () TD () ED () GER () EER () SEP () SHED () SD () SD- () -SND- () CHI () SE 4 PAPI INNIS PS PSS PSPS SPI PSDP SPAIN FLIES Combat them with : TANGLEFOOT FLY SPRAY Rid your house of flies, moths, mosquitoes, bed bugs, : fleas, roaches and ants. e 8 oz. bottle with hand spray ............ cere 5.80 } 8 oz. bottle with mouth spray .....

SAL A i a Lf Si nL FLIES FLIES HOLIDAY SPORTS SUCCESSFUL IN SPITE OF RAIN Only One Game Cancelled Be- cause of Rain. Four Games Played in Front of Good Crowds. Frequent showers which glad- dened the hearts of the farmers of the district and kept the Wabigoon balltossers at home, failed to dampen the enthusiasm of Dryden softball and baseball teams and their hundreds of supporters on Victoria Day. The three softball encounters billed for the school grounds went off without a hitch, all games being played in front of large loudly applauding erowds, while the baseball game in the afternoon between two local teams at 3 p.m. drew a surprisingly large group of spectators. The Upton inspired boys won from the Count Sfreddo and assistants by the somewhat pro- lific score of 16-9, but for all that thé game was a crowd The final outcome may have been different had Edgar Elliott not had the misfortune to pull the ligaments of his. pitching arm about half way through the contest. The young- er players pleased with their sustained peg and punch, which if properly handled speaks well | for the future of the ball club. The older players proved that the Winter layoff has not affect- ed the eye or soupbone notice- ably. In the only away from home encounter of the day, the San- dies vanquished a picked nine at the Trans-Canada Airport Camp at Amesdale. The game was arranged through the good offices of Mr. Frank Vankough- nett and Guy Proudlock and is the forerunner of several friend- ly matches during the next two or three months. Tennis, golf and fishing were also given proper attention by their respective and respectful exponents and addicts.

KEEWATIN-KENORA Prohibition of Public Musical Performance and Amusement of BASEBALL CLUBS ORGANIZE Revival of District Competition | Favorably Discussed. Details To Be Announced. Encouraging information _ to baseball supporters has been re-) ceived from Mr. D. C. Godfrey, Secretary of the Keewatin Base- ball Club. At a recent meeting of the Keewatin Club, delegates from Kenora were present to discuss the possibilities of reviv- ing district competiton for the Shragge cup. Both Kenora and Keewatin were strongly in favor of forming a District League, but in view of financial stringen- cies, this was deemed impossible. Plans for a double series be- tween Kenora and Keewatin were made however, with a later series between the winners and Dryden. The details of this series will be worked out and announced at some later date. The Dryden Baseball Club, fully appreciating the financial difficulties to be overcome, is preparing for a season of good local competition, with every economy practised. © It is quite possible that during the summer both Kenora and Keewatin will visit Dryden for exhibition mat- ches. In the meantime with Wabigoon and two local teams competing for local honors, the fans are assured of several good games, ; The officers and members of the I.

The late Mrs. her husband, Findlay with who predeceased her about 15 years ago, and family came to this district from Aberdeen, Scotland, over 26 years ago. They first settled at Barclay on the farm their gon William now lives on, and later moved to Dryden, where the late Mr. Findlay was em- ployed with the Dryden Paper Co.

SPEAKER There was a good attendance of members and friends at the meeting of the Women's Insti- tute, held in the Town Hall, last Wednesday afternoon, to hear Miss . BE. Slicter, Departmental speaker. The subject of Miss Slicter's address, "The Essentials of Good Housekeeping,'"' was ably dealt with by the speaker and every word of it was thoroughly enjoyed. Community singing and a short musical program rounded out an enjoyable afterncon's entertain- ment. Miss Mona Morris favored with a delightful vocal solo, ae- 'companied by Mrs, I. J. McPher- son, while pianoforte solos by two pupils of Mrs. Howes, Misses Helen Nelson and Marjorie Harris were most pleasing. The serving of refreshments brought the meeting to a close.
