Page 7 OMNIUM GATHERUM^’- “Ti. a miscellaneous collection (f. Latin omnium meaning meaning "a gathering”, pseudo-Latin, derivative of gather. Dear Editor, "all of” and gatherum I was wondering about how you could get new members. Why not ask your readers for names and addresses of FORMER West Van people and send them a free copy of the newsletter? I think it would be a good idea to print a membership application on every edition because I, for one, always send my copy on to old friends. Just a thought. Gwen (Sewell) Daniel Both points are well taken but with reservations. We would be glad to follow up any leads of former West Vancouverites and to send along a complimentary ”His-tory-onics” PROVIDED no one gets carried away and sends us their Christmas Card list! We've been pretty wordy with the newsletter lately, often running to a fifth page in order to squeeze everything in. However, as in the past, whenever space allows, we will print an application form as part of our newsletter. Thank you for the suggestions, Gwen. Editor Looking north to the 1400 block Bellevue - Circa 1956 The view from the top or, what the J. A. Burns family saw from an upstairs window. The upstairs window was, of course, in the Burns' beach front home which the family occupied from 1916 until 1978 when Mrs. Burns sold it to the Municipality for future park development. Today, nothing remains of the house at 1434 Argyle Avenue save Mary (Burns) Chapman's memories and pictures which she recently shared with Olga Ruskin on the TV show 'Neight)ours'.
