Background

He was born in Sand Point Lake, Ontario, on the border of the U.S. state of Minnesota and Ontario.[1] From 1926 to 1958, Noden was the co-owner the Gillmor-Noden Hardware Store on Scott, the main street in Fort Frances. He was a Mason and a member of Granite Lodge #446.

Politics

Noden ran as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the 1951 provincial election. He defeated Liberal-Labour incumbent James Newman by 452 votes.[2] He was re-elected three times before retiring in 1967. He sat as a backbench supporter of the governments of Leslie Frost and John Robarts. In recognition of his public service, the three and a half mile causeway linking Rainy River to Atikokan and carrying Ontario Highway 11, was named the "Noden Causeway". The Causeway opened on June 28, 1965, while Noden was still an MPP.

gollark: But it doesn't scale to bigger stuff, and we need it to scale to bigger stuff.
gollark: Well, sure, which works fine if people are mostly self-sufficient and all know each other personally and can draw upon social stuff.
gollark: The friends thing would have the additional disadvantage of locking new players out of the economy.
