Page 6 West Vancouver Historical Society November 2003 How to Get to Spiiraway Gardens memberships are $100.00 per annum. Turn east off Taylor Way on to Keith Road. Proceed to 235, where your will see a wheel and an entrance, which you will pass. You will want the second entrance nearest the bridge. Here you turn left up to the lodge to drop off your passengers. That done, proceed to parking on Keith Road. (Spuraway parking is restricted to residents only.) It’s a good idea to bring a flashlight, as it is pretty dark in this area. ;; In' Memoriam' Gift- to tlie West j - Vancouver Historical Society r - - â-  : 'â- ,,1:. ; ... .......'41' " As mentioned in the enclosure, you will be able to make a donation to the Society in memoriam to someone who has passed away. The gift will be acknowledged with an inscribed card to the bereaved. Of course, all such donations qualify as income tax deductions. The November Newsletter Fraught with some Urgency Both the Society Board and the Newsletter Committee are very busy at this time of year. They have a real concern: maintaining membership strength over the coming twelve months. You will notice an addressed envelope inside the current newsletter. It has been included to simplify the task of sending in membership dues for 2004. One of the members paid for the envelopes and did all the typing. That job was big, but relatively modest compared with the one Joan Skipper does in the year’s final two months. She is in the office constantly, bringing membership records up to date and mailing out receipts. If you want to give her heart, do so by sending in your dues and by sending a gift membership to a relative or friend. The fees are a bargain: $15.00 for those under age 60; $10.00 for those over 60. Of course, corporate memberships are available for West Vancouver businesses at $35.00 per annum. For firms outside of West Van Over and above your regular membership you might want to contribute to the Capital Fund, which is, of course, a deductible item for income tax purposes (unlike membership dues). We have had generous donations to this fund over the years. These have enabled us to provide furnishings, equipment and to develop special programmes for the Museum and Archives. Concerning the formerâ€"with respect to how your money is husbandedâ€"Board member Hugh Johnston has of late-with the aid of a Phillips screwdriverâ€"rejuvenated one of our original office chairs, thus enabling Joan to work without fear of collapsing to the floor. As to the latter, the elementary school education programme continues, enjoying as much success as ever. By the way, if you decide to send a gift membership to a friend or relative, please write their name, phone number and address on the reverse side of the form. We’ll see that they receive the January issue of the newsletter. Why the Jog at Inglewood at 21*^? By Peter Hall When I went to Pauline Johnson School back in the 1930’s there was the most wonderful bush which extended from the east edge of the playground right up the slope to 21“^' Street. This bush was ideal for Grade Six boys (PJS only went to Grade Six in those days). The teachers couldn’t see what was going on in there so we could indulge in gang wars in lunch hour without fear of interference. There were two such ‘gangs’. Mine was led by the fearless John Hunt. The battles were conducted by throwing chunks of bark (preferably Douglas fir) at one another. Victory came with the capture of the other’s fort. It was great fun and nobody got hurt. This battleground was bounded on the south by Inglewood Avenue, which is not there today and thereby hangs a tale. Sometime after I left PJS a school playing field was put in across on the south
