No. 41. ® On To Sioux Lookout For years past we have been work- ing strenuously and exerting every prossible effort to obtain a highway from Dryden to the outside world. i. As a result the Trans-Canada High- way is well under way ahd within a comparatively short period our dream should be realized. : It occurs to us that in pressing for cutside communications we have over- looked connections with a most de- sirable market, and oné which is anxious to establish connections with us. To the north east of Dryden, about fifty miles away is the Town Sioux Lookout, a railway town, "th a fair population and no farn:- ing land. North of that again, is the Red Lake mining area, which obtains practically all of its supplies from Sioux Lookout. The Department of National Defence is arranging to em- ploy two or three thousand men clearing the forshore of Lac Seul, as a relief proposition, and this work will likely last for two: years. Act the present time Sioux Lookout brings in all supplies by rail and a large "quantity of farm produce is brought in from outside the province. The Dryden area can grow farm produce Sioux Lookout and district requires. All that is. needed to bring this market to our doors is the completion of the Sioux Look- out-Dinorwic highway. At the present time about 17% miles has been completed out from Sioux Lookout and the easiest part of the road has yet to be done. We believe that the completion of this road may be of greater value to the farmers of this district than even the Trans-Canada Highway. It will open up a desirable market for farm pro- duce and markets are what we want. Sioux Lookout wants access to our area, we want their business. Let's get together and boost for the early completion of the road. all the Announcements smi Je OF rt--nefs Announcements in this column are charged at the rate of 50c per inch, per week, with a minimum charge of 25e.

CI GY) GRD OE OE AEE OS THE COLUMNIST I was in a store the other day, and saw a long strong hat pin, not | one of your cheap short ones, but the really dangerous kind. You older men will remember them, and recall how you shuddered at being in a crowd with women; you never knew how safe your eyes were. Possibly the saying 'mind your eye" came in at that time. So I went home and told my wife; I always tell her everything I ses-- within limits. We reminisced a while, then said she, "Why don't you write a story] abeut a hat pin? That old-fashioned- | carrying-stock-over merchant deserves a good funeral, so give him one." My wife is really proud of my literary ability and although she never tells it me, she quotes me to the Ladies Aid, and the Women's Institute, and the Bridge Society. I hear this from the husbands at the Poker Club and Iam not popular with them. In fact some of them never read my column because of this jealousy. But this is by the way. Here is the story in tabloid, that Liberty or Collier's would buy at a hundred dollars, but for the copyright to this Family Weekly. He was a large fat easy tempered man. His wife was fond of him in early life, but the fatter he got the less her love, because no wife likes a fat husband. So each added ten pounds of adiposity made ten per cent of diva inished affection. But he happy in good works and. good meals failed to notice the les-| sening liking, and went his daily! way. | Fat in its train brings many ills, it makes for asthma, dwells around: the kidneys, and the nerves, and at sixty this man developed the ob- session of claustrophobia, meanihg the dread of being confined. No, no, fair one, that is not what you think I mean. The word has, different interpretations. My hero could ponder himself al) most to suffocation, and the dread: of death was not of the hereafter, but of the close narrow coffin and the four feet of superimposed earth between him and air. { When he would dwell upon this, he would become frantic, conjuring up images of clutching hands upon throat in that awful moment of awakening from coma, when buried alive. He collected records of cemetery; exhumings. He knew the proportion, of bodies that had turned over when burial grounds had been disinterred.) He knew the picture of the Abbe'; Wiertz by heart. He would never) sleep in a close dark room. He want- | ed the moonlight to play upon him. | All this was his obsession. And yet he died a happy death, in full faith and confidence in one, 'which was |in the afternoon, A Lookout, Teachers Institute Holds Convention Over One Hundred and Twenty Teachers Attend Convention at Kenora The Twenty-Fourth Annual Con- vention of the Kenora Teachers' Institute was held at Kenora on Oc- tober the fifth and sixth in the High School Auditorium, with the presi- dent, Mr. G. R. Brimble, B.A. pre- siding. The sessions were opened Thursday morning with devotional exercises conducted by Archdeacon Lofthouse, and Mr. W. S. Carruthers, Mayor of Kenora, and Mr. Carter, a member of the Board of Education, extended a warm welcome to the visiting dele- gates. Press reporters for the various towns were then appointed. Community singing, led by Mr. TE. Haldorsen, of Ignace, then followed, greatly enjoyed by all. The minutes of the Annual Conven- tion, held at Keewatin, were read by Miss O. Lawson, Secretary-Treasurer, also the financial statement. The nomination and resolution committees were appointed; also the auditors for the coming year. The President addressed the Con- vention, expressing his pleasure 'in presiding over the Convention, and asked for the co-operation of every- one. He then discussed the require- ments that were necessary for a successful teacher. The President's address proved to be exceptionally well planned and enthusiastic, and in his able direction was responsible in large measure for the success of the different sessions. - An "Art Demonstration" was very ably dealt with by Miss D.: A. Smith, of Kenora, who presented her subject in a very interesting manner. The numerous questions asked Miss Smith by the teachers signified the interest created. The Convention then ad- journed for federation meetings and lunch. When the Convention re-assembled Miss M. Bodgers, of Kenora, gave an interesting and very helpful talk on planning the composition. A lively discusion fol- lowed with several of the teachers telling how they planned composition in their schools. Miss Chant and Mrs. Lockhart, of Sioux Lookout, gave criticisms on the authorized text books, also suggesting improve- ments that could be made. A lengthy discussion followed. Myr. E. Haldor- sen, of Ignace, gave a delightful in- strumental which was greatly enjoyed {by all. Miss IL. Ament, of Sioux then told a great number of schoolboy howlers, some of which were experienced in the Sioux Look- he loved, for whom he had striver to leave comfortable and secure whe he was gone. She had promised him, she had pledged him, and he believed her: that she would take her strongest, longest, toughest hat pin, and during: her last moments with him at the] open coffin, unknown to anyone, pierce his heart, so that he could; never awaken, even though h malady had baffled the doctor, who thought him dead, when he really! was not. i Well, as I said, he. died, and lax. at home for the conventional couple! of days. His widow did think of} ner promise, but that kind of hat had gone out of style for several months, and she had mislaid the hat! pin. Why didn't she think of a skewer? Search me, I cannot answer. for women's thoughts. oy And so he was buried. : Misgivings come to even the mostly callous of women; and conscience gnaws. It is so even with med Try as she would she could not herself of worry, and eventualkl simply had to ask the authorities' permission to open her: husband's tomb. : Would that I had language to: describe the sequel. I cannot, must} not dwell. It is too terrible. One look she gave, one shriek, one] swoon, and now that miserable rem-t nant of womanhood occupies & maniac's padded cell. Her husband had turned on .his side, and with hideous distorted visage reproache her. ; If IT can do so well with passed out hat pin, what could I not ad with a fast passing, plain flat iron. ; cethetery: WEATHER IS WITH US 50c; 16 oz. ried 85¢ 50c & 8Cc i ra eR, $1.00 40c & 75¢ ED) ()-EE- ()-CHED- () -CZNED- TED (| TOILET GOODS, FILMS, Reg: Harris, Phm.

W. GRENSTED, Oriel Profes sor of the Philosophy of the Christian Religion in the University of Ox- ford, writes to the London Times: The movement which has come to ke known all over the world by the name of the Oxford Group will be familiar to many of your readers. T« many it will still be little more tha: a name, . and I am therefore asking the hospitality of your columns fo this letter. During the coming Winter there i. to be a campaign in London and th: suburbs, for the awakening an strengthening of the sense of spiritua need and of a trust in spiritual powe: and guidance which is the one thin: necessary if our hopes and plans fo world recovery are not to go astray It is only through individual completely freed from fear and sel fishness, and surrendered to the guid ance of the God in whom we profes: to believe and to the service of thei: fellowmen, that the new and bette: world can come into being. The Group exists to bear witness to th: belief that such a life is possible anc that it is effective. There is no formai membership. It is just a fellowshix of those who have faced, as well as they may, the challenge to a life o absolute honesty, purity, unselfish: ness, and love, and who are willing te bear witness to others of the new freedom which they have found. They believe as most people do (nominally) that this world is of God. They arc prepared to carry that belief out inte everyday life, and to make the or- dinary affairs of business, of try, of society, an adventure for God In coming to l.ondon the Group comes with many years of experience behind it, and with a history of de- velopment in every part of the world The story begins with work amons boys in the poorest districts in Philadelphia. The personal experience which changed the whole course ot Dr. Buchman's life came to him in England over 20 years ago. The big house-parties which have latterly been frequent, and through which most of the development of the work has taken place, came into being in China. For some 12 years now there has been a group in Oxford, and that group, with 'the large house-parties there each summer, has become in- creasingly the centre of the work. The growth in Oxford itself is re- markable enough, as one who has seen its development can testify. But much more remarkable has been the effect eof the teams which have gone out upon simple campaigns of wit- ness in this and in other countries. It is not too much to say that for many thousands of people, all over (Continued on Page Two) RED CROSS HOSPITAL SHOWER This annual event is being held by the Dryden Women's Institute at their next meeting--Friday, October 27th, in the Town Hall at 3 o'clock.
