Page 3 With the business portion of the evening concluded, Hugh D. Johnston, back as promised, got to show his slide presentation on early days of logging in West Vancouver. The projector, with its brand new bulb, behaved flawlessly and Hugh’s talk was every bit as interesting and informative as we had expected it would be.

Jago of Coquitlam, B. C., father of Mrs. Florence B. Wilson. Incidentally, Mrs. Wilson will be celebrating her 90th birthday come June 18th.
