DRYDEN, ONTARIO, JUNE 30th, 1933, No. 26. 2 THE COLUMNIST I think I told you a couple of weeks ago of my dream of a large salary in a New York broker's office. it is so silly to say, "I think," when I should say, "Iknow," because whether you remember or not, I told at some length of my unfortunate judgments. And so now as I write, with an ad- vance of wheat, nearly ten cents in two days I am strongly moved to discuss the matter from our own local standpoint, because after all, nothing concerns us quité so much, as the conditions affecting our daily lives. There are few of you, that do not take some kind of general medium of news, be it weekly or daily paper or magazine. To tell you that wheat has gone from the low of forty-five. te the present high of eighty cents is only trite. But havé you stopped to think of it's effect upon you? You will go into the stores, in a short while, finding that the little money you have, i$ not going so far as it did six months ago, and you will begin to wonder what benefit inflation or speculation have been to you. You will not see any sudden effect, because business competition is very intense, and price raising is very gradual. Too, too often the unfair statement is made, that retail prices rise quicker than they descend. In either case the change is never sud- den nor revolutionary. We always see the difference much better by contrasting a period of say six months What I am trying to prove, and I leave to the future, the judgment of my being right, is that, all advancing commodity prices, will temporarily leave us worse off, in this District. Always before me, the fatuity of my judgments, I still hazard the be- lief that there is no warrant, for such stupendous rise in prices. Hanging over the world is enough wheat to feed it for over a year, if never a grain was harvested in 19332, vet it has almost doubled in price, ignd Shenandoah, K.M.A. since January. them, impossible barriers against ex- porting countries, yet a speculating public has rushed to make a bull market, and the bears are on ithe run. I am glad in one way, because these same bears, have been greedily persistent for two or three years. They have sapped the energy and sucked the blood of the producer. But if revenge be sweet, it is also the attribute of little men, and we must be big when facing issues. Therefore, whatever the speculator has done for himself, he has done evil for you, and you will have to tighten up your belt, before Christ- mas. And bear that mine is the rotten moralising of the unsuccessful plunger. And I am afraid that I am dis- appointing, when I dig in the ditch with other gloomy Gusses, seeing nothing but the mud I throw around. not anticipating any results in drain- age nor benefits that may accrue. Therefore, being frightened of your opinions, I am going to go much further than I have ever dene, and suggest something by deduction. I am not jumping away. You may think so. This will be the fault of your deductive powers. A rather prominent Ontario Con- servative, spoke recently rather bit- terly of Woodsworth, piling Ossa upon Pelion by finally calling him a Communist. This is today the worst reproach that can be said of any politician. To be a Communist, is to be brand- ed a traitor to the glorious Confed- eration our fathers fought for. A Communist must smell as badly as a, skunk. No one wants to be a Communist, or at least to admit It. One might as well be a leper. The police have John Doe warrants for Communists. I saw a female one, a little while ago, and to my sur- prise, she was rather good looking, and: wore good taste clothes. Too bad, she was a Communist. I have heard the word so much lately, I looked it up in the diction- ary. The definition would have suit- ed the disciples of the early Chris- tian Church. "Everything in common, with no special favours to anyone." But the thought was no more popu- lar then, than now, and most of those foolish beggars were crucified. And so I thought, how much bet- ter if Dr. ---------------- had called ; Woodsworth an '"Altruist." And thinking thus, I wondered if the Government and the Police, and the Economists, and 'everyone else in mind that I admit} FH me 1] cn mn Announcements & --lllemm ef PF fl sem Announcements in this column are charged at the rate of 50c per inch, per week, with a minimum PLA cf 25¢.

Frank Russell Monday afternoon. when he rushed into the swimming pool and rescued Jimmy Saskolay, who had got out beyond his depth, was struggling in his last efforts, having gone down for the third time. Roy Faubert, 'who had attempted to rescue the lad, was also in difficulties.' but on being brought to shore by Mr. Russell, both were very little the worse for the experience. that is trying to work us out of this depression, would let me found a new party of Altruists. Something less of self, and more of the other fellow. Shall we try it? Xt Phone 69 Samo LI O- GEE (SEE SEED OG O- CIR - ERED )- UES -GEED- (EE (- GRE ) SEIS.

On Friday afternoon Softball sup- porters will be treated to an exhibi- tion by the Kenora Softball League leaders, the South Ends. Breezing through the first series these boys suffered only one loss, their first appearance. The Dryden representa- tives have not been chosen yet, but it is expected that two very strong aggregations will take the field against the visitors.

It is hoped that all will help to make a success of this day. Dominion Day should be a big day in the lives of all Canadians. CAMP NEWS Showing a remarkable brand of ball, Camp 1-B-9 upset the dope by sneaking over the winning run again- st Camp 1-B-8 in the last frame of the softball game played at Camp 1-B-9 on Sunday afternoon. After the first. two disastrous inn- ings, during which 1-B-8 scored 12 runs, Rost settled down and pitched sterling ball, not allowing a man to reach first base for the rest of the game. The winning run was scored by Garibaldi on an error by Lindsay. Howe pitched good ball for 1-B-8 and George Bragg starred for the winners with three scintillating catches. : The line-ups ® were: 1-B-9 Position 1-B-8 Fitzgerald -- . 1st B. -- Nelson Kostecki -- 2nd B. -- Bytheway Garibaldi -- Storey Mugan 8 se Stevens Sahajchuk R. -- O'Dell Bragg C. PB, --r-- Bennett Wilson -- L.F. --_ Lindsay Anderson _ C. -- Paterson Rost -- P. --_ Howe * * * "Camp 5 roared in like a lion but went out like a lamb." Yes ladies and gentlemen, the old Indian sign worked overtime and Camp 4 once more emerged victorious |by a 13-12 margin over the down but never out Camp Five-ites. 'Twas a blistering hot affray with Ol' Sol melting pounds from the bulging tummies of the '"Mud-Hens." Tommy Quirk, Camp 4's master- mind, conspired with the cook to good effect and such a meal was served that the Mud-Hens" could not keep within- their training diet and became victims of a fell plot. Camp 1-B-4 presented several changes to an admiring audience. Don "Grover Alexander" Roach pitch- ed a nice game for the winners; Charlie "Man Mountain" Clifton at 1st base with "Smilin'"? Jimmy Gow at 2nd base added youthful zest to the contest. "Bluencse'" Atkinson ably assisted by Tommy "Loud- speaker" Kenny took care of every- thing that eame their way. Russ "Light a Murad" Colman, Tommy "Master-mind Quirk and Wilful Willy"? Willoughby creditably guard- ed the outer pastures and incidently the 'creek and surrounding bush. "Silent" Bill Troy, stellar Camp 1-B-4 catcher, was tighter than Shylock with his extra bases.
