XI, DRYDEN, ONTARIO, AUGUST 18th, 1933, No. 33. @ Crowd of Nearly 200 Children Gathers at the Ladies' Auxiliary Picnic The happiest spot in the whole Dominion on Thursday afternoon, August 10th, was Thunder Lake, and its sandy beach. Nearly two hundred children, bubbling over with joy and excitement, res- bonded to the invitation of the officers and committee of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Cana- dian Legion, Dryden Branch, to ttend the annual children's out- ing. For such a gathering the weather was perfect. The lake being at its best, was an immense attraction to both adults and kiddies. Quite an ambitious programme was carried out and congratulations are extended to those who were responsible for its preparation. : A 8.0.8. for the means of trans- portation of the children to their destination, and return, was nobly answered by a host of generous car owners--without their aid the picnic would not be possible. From the majestic "Cadillac", the graceful "Buick", the popular "Chevy's'" and "Fords", down to the depressed Bennett wagon, all the cars were on time to convey their load of delight- ed youngsters to the holiday grounds. To bring all safely home, some of the drivers cheerfully made three trips. To all who proffered their services in the good cause too many thanks cannot be given. The IL. A. gratefully give all they have. After supper the children were re- galed with ice cream, oranges and candies, winding up with a peanut scramble. The picnic came to an end affer six hours hectic enjoyment. All the tiny tots received prizes in the racing events.

"HOW TO SPEAK ~~ WELL" In promulgating your esoteric cogi- tations or in articulating your super- ficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical, or psychological obser- vations, beware of platitudinous pon- | derosity. - Let your cations possess a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensiveness, coales- | cent, and with a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglamerations] of flatulent garrulity, jejune babble- ment, and assinine affectations. Let your have intelligibility and veracious vivacity, without thrasonical bombast. Sedulusly avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous brolixity, psita- ceous vacuity, ventriloquent verbosity, and vaniloguent vapidity. Shun all double entrantes, prurient jocosity, and pestifsrous profanity, ambiguous or apparent. d In other words, talk plainly, brief- ly, naturally, sensibly, truthfully, purely; keep from slang, don't put on airs, say what you mean, mean what you say, AND DON'T USE BIG WORDS. --The Professor.

Evening Game Better Exhibition Entertaining their first outside op- position on a local diamond tha Skeeters and Red Sox each scored a victory over the Sioux Lookout Junior Girls here on Friday after- noon and evening. In spite of dis- turbing weather a good crowd wit- nessed both encounters proving be- yond - doubt the popularity of the small diamond pastime in Dryden. The Sioux Lookout Junior Girls presented a snappy appearance on the field with their smart new uni- forms and keeness in the game. Al- though much younger than the girls comprising the local teams, they give promise of developing into a snappy aggregation from whom keen com- petition may be expected in the future. Skeeters overwhelmed the visitors in the first encounter by a 34-24 score, but in the evening ens counter the Red Sox were forced to play smart softball in order to eke out an 11-8 victory over the Wilkins coached squad. This was the first attempt to provide outside com- petition for the ladies' section of the softball league and if this particular series is any criterion, Dryden sup- porters may look forward to some splendid games here in the future. The officers and executive of the Dryden Softball I.eague wish to ex- press their sincerest thanks for the kind hospitality tendered the visitors who were Dbilleted locally. Had it not been for their splendid co- operation it would have been impos- sible to arrange the series. Skeeters 34 -- Sioux Lookout 24. Taking no chances whatever the Skeeters took the field with a smart squad to test the metal of the visitors and soon ran up a commanding lead. Playing the first game on strange ground seemed to affect the giris from the other line and it was not until the seventh inning that they were able to stop the Skeeters and retaliate with a barrage of base hits producing thirteen runs. In the sixth inning the Skeeters broke away with a sixteen run assault to put the game safely to their credit. The visitors success in their part of the eighth inning seamed to give them new hope and they played inspiring ball for the last two frames. Sioux Lookout -- Gruye, Higgins, Wilkins, Carroll, Atkinson, Stone, George, tardy and Pullar. Skeeters--Bailey, Brampton, Me- Guire, M. Reid, Kentner, B. Blake, McMaster, Duncan, Winter, R. Reid and® J. Reid. Red Sox 11 -- Sioux Lookout 8. Apparently having overcome their afternoon nervousness the visifors stepped into the Red Sox with a will and forced the latter to play smart softball in order to win the best display ever seen between ladies teams in Dryden. At no period of the game were the Red Sox in com- mand of a sizeable lead, although three runs in the fourth inning ap- peared a good margin at the time. In the eighth inning, however, the visitors took advantage of a moment- ary lapse on the part of the Red Sox to tie up the count at eight all. At this Instance the breaks of the game were noticeable as in their . | half of the eighth the heavy end of conversational communi- | the Red Sox batting order faced the visitors and by solid clubbing ham- .mered over three runs which were sufficient to secure the victory. The Sioux Lookout girls wele unable to do anything in their half of the Only fifty- seven minutes was required for the nine complete innings of the second encounter. Smart pitching and field- ing speeded up the game to give the spectators full value for their money. Sioux Lookout -- Gruye, Higgins, Wilkins, Carroll, = Atkinson, Stone, George, Hardy and Pullar. Red Sox--A. Blake, M. Duncan, McRae, Johnson, M. Blake, Mrs. Duncan, B. Blake and R. McGuire.

STORE AT EAGLE RIVER IS TO BE A BIG CELEBRATION The erection of the branch store at Fagle River by the Waldhof Farmer's Cooperative Club, Ltd., is an extremely encouraging sign in these times. It is still another example of accomplishment by co- operation, and the members of that Society have every reason to be proud of it. ; © But this demonstration, impressive as it is in our community, is small compared with the almost illimitable possibilities of cooperation. These and other points, of interest to all, will no doubt be dealt with fully by the speakers at the formal opening of the new store on 'Tuesday next. the 22nd of August, particulars of which will be found below.

Despite memory of numerous unfulfilled predictions that the United States would be on the road back to nation- al progress by such-and-such a time, they are looking forward with more certainty than they have felt in years. And their cheerful attitude is due only in part to the energy and enthusiasm pervading their Gov- ernment, only in part to the activi- ties of the NRA and the prospect of new jobs and better working con- ditions under the industrial 'codes. And the "turn" is registered only in part by security and commodity markets, only in part by rising wages and increased employment. In each individual it is registered in unseen upswings of aspiration and resolve. And in society it is felt in the lift- ing of the recent belief that civiliza- tion may have reached its last fron- tiers, climbed its last peaks, and probably had no alternative but to deteriorate, or at very best, stand still. : This belief--like false beliefs in general--did not arise from a con- templation of facts, though it ap- reared to do so. For if it was a fact that society a hundred years ago had many opportunities before it, how shall we account for the wave of pessimism that Macaulay breasted in 1830? Then, it seems some men felt that an end of econ- omic and 'social progress: had been reached. And Macaulay, with deep- er insight than some who thought they were weighing facts, asked this question: We cannot absolutely prove that those are in error who tell us that society has reached a turning point, that we have seen cur best days. But so said all who came before us, and with just as much apparent reason. . .. On what principle is it that when. we see nothing. but im- provement behind us, we are to expect nothing but deterioration before us? : It is significant that these words strike a note in harmony with the thought that is abroad today. The "turn" we need most has come. --Christian Science Monitor. GOLF NOTES The following are the results of the third round games for the Presi- dent's cup: Dr. Morison beat Wm. Hambleton 4 and 3; J.

When Trainmen Travel The crew of the Royal Scot, crack British train on exhibition at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago, took a brief holiday a few days ago. Naturally, they spent most of it riding in the cabs of locomotives. 'When they reached New York, after a trip on the Broadway Limited, newspapermen gathered fast to pick up the British- ers' impressions. 3 Apparently, the Pennsylvania Rail- road's giant locomotive didn't do the impressing which the reporters some- how expected. John Jackson, who stokes the Royal Scot, admitted that the automatic stokers on the Ameri- can locomotive are 'quite efficient," His chief, William Gilbertson, engin- eer--engine-driver in English, if you please--didn't seem so sure about the innovation. But then, of course, he doesn't do the stoking. "The whole proposition is different," was about all either would say when pressed as to the relative merits of American and British locomotives. ; Gilbertson and Jackson take over the Royal Scot at Carlisle and pilot it to London, 300 miles away, with- out a stop. Incidentally, they grew more communicative when asked about that. The reporters were made distinctly to understand that the. Royal Scot is a train. In fact, had the British railwaymen's stay in America been in any less cultured city than Chicago they doubtless (Continued on Page Four) THEATRE Friday and Saturday This Week JAMES CAGNEY AND RALPH EELLAMY in "PICTURE SNATCHERS" One of the latest pictures, and it's good.
