Oliver, 15th and Water- front. Frail man, he cleaves the azure sky, On wings himself can devise, But the motor for power and wings to liy Need his God-given brain to rise. He dive) like a whale through the angIT waves, Through that God-given gift of brain, Aloft or on land or in sea-nymph cave Jonah's call to repent sounds plain. I IVith the wonders of raido he experiments now, To amuse and enlighten con- trives, But the rigors of desert and Arc- tic e'n bow As the conquest of space ar- rives. Ah! who shall say in the time to come What voice human ears may astound; Perchance, clearly heard above earth's weary hum ~ The Creator's voice will re- sound. After whirlwind, quake and fire, a voice Strangely still and small and soft; Like Elijah may we hear, and humbly rejoice As peace o'r our world will waft. But peace may not mount to her throne over all Till Godliness reigns supreme. In that day when the powers of evil shall fall, Heaven becomes our realized dream. --Anna Harrison Dundarave THE WEST VAN NEWS Ur. 3I. E.

British Columbia is launching its first systematic attempt to rid its highways of ugly signs and billboards. The campaign to prevent scenic views being spoil- ed by the erection of signs is stat&ed under the new highway regulations announced by Hon. W. H. Sutherland, Minister of Public Works. These forbid the . erection of any sign whatever on a public highway, unless with the Public Works Minister's per- mission. Th!s rule will apply to not only large billboards but to smaller ~osters which are nailed on trees indiscriminately along public highways. All advertising mat- ter, in fact, will be banned ex- cept in special cases, when the Minister gives his consent. Guide posts and signs indicating dis- tances and other facts necessary to motorists, of course, will be permitted. "We cannot control the erec- tion of signs on private proper- ty," Dr. Sutherland explained ir announcing the new sign regula- tion. "On our own right-of-way however, we can do as we wish, and we intend to guard them from all kinds of signs."

SEE OUR SUPPLY OF POTTING PLANTS Colin thought it was the most wonderful thing he had ever heard when Aunt Maud came home from visiting Miss Dix next door, and told Uncle James that Miss Dix had a most beau- tiful cherry pie growing in her "reenhouse. Colin was visiting his aunt and uncle for the first time, and he still felt too shy with them to ask many questions So he climbed on the hen- house roof and had a peep at Miss Dix, and saw that she was a very bent old lady, hobbling about on a stick; a sort of fairy person, who looked as though she might grow chetvy pica in pots. He longed to see this wonder- ful thing so much that one day he climbed on the wall near the next-door greenhouse, and was just going to drop over and have a peep at the cherry pie when he heard footsteps, and then old Miss Dix came hobbling along-- perhaps to have a taste of chenY pie! This gave him such a fright that, instead of climbing down, he jumped -- and fell with his foot underneath him. Aunt Maud picked him up. because he was too much hurt to get up himself and carried him indoors; an(1 when he was on the bed with his foot bandaged, she said: "But why ever did you go over the wall?" "I wanted to see a cherry pie growing," said Colin shyly, and he wondered why Aunt Maud and Uncle James laughed so much, but when they told him that cherry pie was just a pet name for a sweet-smelling flow- er, he laughed too. And so did Miss Dix when she heard the story. But'he soon left off laughing, and she pleased Colin very much by inviting him to come to see the greenhouse and the famous cherry pie for himself. As soon as he was well enough he went--and had a very jolly day, but the cherry pie that he liked best was the one that Miss Dix made herself for dinner and Colin helped to eat.
