A spectacu- lar and colorful display will be presented. The proceedings will last all day, as quite a large pro- st gramme will be gone through, including greetings to the visit- ors and a luncheon at mid-&lay. The proceedings at the rally are not open to the general pub- lic, but to all Review members a very cordial welcome is ex- tended. West Vancouver Review No. 24 (the youngest of the Order in Greater Vancouver) will at- tend as one of the Guards in de- scriptive display work.

She leaves to mourn her loss one daughter, who is a teacher at the Holly- burn High School, and to whom the sympathy of the whole com- munity will be extended. The Salmon Run This has been a banner year for the salmon packing industry in British Columbia, the salmon run hasfing been the largest in years. In common with other streams, the Capilano River has been full of salmon this fall. They were to be seen fighting their way upstream in their hundreds aghinst the raging cur- rent produced by the recent rains. In the deeper channels or the shallows, where frequently their back fins showed above the water, darting, twisting, leap- ing, bruised and battered by the stones of the river bed or other obstacles, they still raced for- ward upstream in their mad haste to spaivn in the waters where they themselves had been spawned and spent their early days. In the slack waters those which had fulfilled Nature's pur- pose, blotched and looking like ships in need of a coat of paint, slowly waved their way along and waited for the death that had already come to many of their kind whose bodies lay quiet in the waters or amid the shal- lows. And over the racing an&! dying squadrons the sea gulls wheeled and dipped in noisy chorus. The West .Vancouver Parent- Teachers'ssociation will. hold their semi-annual reception at Pauline Johnson School on the afternoon of Tuesday, Novem- ber 9th, at 3.30 p.m. Miss An- derson, principal of Lonsdale School, North Vancouver, an&1 president of the B. C. Parent- Teachers'ederation, has very kindly consented to address the gathering on the subject of the chair of Home Economics for the University of British Columbia. Many have heard Miss Anderson when she has spoken here on previous occasions and know her to be a very appealing speaker. The B. C. Parent-Teachers'ederation have pledged them- selves to collect $80,000 with which to endow a chair of Home Economics in the U. B. C., and the local association feel that it is only a fuller knowledge of the nature and necessity of such training for girls that will arouse the enthusiasm and support for which we plead. An opportunity will be afford- ed those present to make their donations, either small or large, according to what they can af- ford to this splendid effort of women in the cause of women and the home. A few musical numbers and an afternoon tea will conclude the programme.
