001B6BF3 THE WEST VAN NEWS November Riih, 1926 1626O«"M'est Vancouver Ratepayers'ssn. The Ambleside Hall was crowded, all available seats be- ing occupied, on Tuesday me- ning at the meeting of the above association. The chair &vas taken by the president. htr. Philip C. Chapman. who was ac- companied on thg platform by Councillors Watt and Ley)nnd, who each expressed their &dews, The interest taken was shon.n by the number taking part in the discussion. The topic before the meeting vras Transportation both as regards schedules and rates. The chairman had a very difficult problem in handling the situation, as the motions and amendments and amendments to the amendments came up. After a prolonged discussion, it was resolved that in the opinion of the association the present schedule was not in the best in- terests of the majority of the travelling public, and as the members of the council were present, that they be asked to reconsider the schedule and draft something more suitable along the lines as suggested at the meeting. The association also registered their opp&xettion to the ferry fare reduction, par- ticularly in regard to the sug- gested book of tickets at 52, it being shown that this would be taken undue advantage of by non-twsidents of the district. The suggestion was made to keep in force the present card system at the reduced rate. Owing to the lateness of the hour. the matter of the postal services was deferred until a later date. Changes in Ferry Schedule and Rates Two letters from Mr. A. Tay- lor and hir. L. Saunderson pro- testing against the new ferry schedule were read at the special meeting of the council last Fri- day night, 29th October. Both letters were ordered filed. A third letter was also read from the executive of the West Vancouver Ratepayers'ssocia- tion, inviting the chairman of the transportation committee and the chairman of the finance committee to attend the meeting of the Ratepayers'ssociation held on Tuesday, 2nd November. The executive further went on record as being opposed to the reduction in fares, which was was not, in their opinion, in the best interests of the municipal- ity, and requested that no ex- pense be incurred by the council in printing new tickets until after the meeting of the Prate- payers'ssociation. P.-T. A. Reception The women of IVest Vancou- ver are asked to kindly remem- ber the Parent-Teacher recep- tion to be held on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 9th at 3.30 p. m., in the New Amble- side Hall. The programme will consist of a short address on the subject of the Chair of Home Economics for the University of British Columbia by hi isa Ander- son, principal of Lonsdale Public School and President of the B. C. Parent-Teacher Federation, and also of a few musical numbers and afternoon tea. A cordial invitation is extend- ed by the executive to every- one, whether a member of the association or not. In a report of an auto acci- dent which occurred on 14th September it was stated that the car was driven by Mr. Kerr. The police report shows that the driver of the car was Frank Reid. The car was not very badly damaged. Recognition and An Honest Name ~ By Dr. Frnnk Crane In Hollywood an "extra" at the studios suddenly becamerich when oil was struck on some "northless" Texas land shehad inherited. Instead of retiring to enjoy her fortune. shekept nn doing odd bits in pictures. The thing she was most interested in, she said. vrasmaking a place for herself in I'ilmdom. This decision is true to human nature. It is the same impulse that makes the moneyed heiress seek a titled husband and thc retired business man run for an honored political office. It is found in Rosie O'rady and in the Colonel's ladh-. The p&hssession of comforts is not enough. At heart. the greatest desire of the avernge person is to be "recognized," to have the respect and n&lmiration of others. to make a name for simself. Recognition is as necessary to the average man as food and drink. Willinm James, in his later years, &vrote: "The deepest principle of human nature is the craving to be appmciated." When a man gets rich or po&verful he still craves dis- tinguished names and more respect to accompnny his wealth and power. When the "Little Corporal" held the po&ver of Frnnce inhis hand. he desired to be known as "iVapoleon the Great." When Johnny Jones goes into real estate, in a small nay,he is content to hang out his shingle simply: John Jones, RealEstate. If the fates are kind and he prospers, he later takes unto himself the more impressive title: Jonathan C. Jones, Realtor. With the passing of time, if he waxes wealthy and im- portant, he becomes: J. Cadwallader Jones, Community Builder. Plumbers, after gaining high wages and affluenc, desirc to hold a more honored place in society. A fund of 6250,000 a year, it is said, is being spent to stop jokes on plumbers and to "create a higher prestige for those in the plumbing profession." The man who cleans up selling radios becomes a "radio- gogist." The barber who prospers as a "haircutter" wants to be known as a "tonsorial artist." Home town boys who work up a hot sketch and go on the road become "vaudeville artists." There is a story of a Broadway actress who held up the play until a large gold star was tacked to her dressing room door. She wanted it to designate that she was really the star. The average peprson is not satisfied with attainment alone. He craves recognition also. SOCIAL CLUB PROPOSEDWest Vancouver Scottish Society IVest Vancou&e& Is badlh m need of a club where the youth of the town can meet and spend their evenings. A letter from the Chief Constable was res&I at the special meeting of the coun- cil on Friday night in connection with a proposed social club to be held at the back of Mr. Chet Shield's store on Fourteenth, where boxing, wrestling and pool, also a library, would be available for the members. The council refened the matter back to the Chief, asking him to furn- ish information with regard to the number and names of mem- bers as well as a copy of the con- stitution of the club. Under the auspices of the above society a Jacobite Recital will be given in the Clachan Hotel, Dundarave, on Friday. November 19th, at 8.15 p.m.; subject, "Bonnie Prince Charlie. The Causes and Results of the Forty-five." Several soloists will take part and hir. Dunlop is readily conceded to be a very able and highly interesting lec- turer. This recital is open to the public to alford West Van- couver residents an opportunity of learning something of the "Real Drama of the Jacobite Period in Scottish History." A silver collection will be taken and tea will be served. Regular meetings of the So- ciety are held every third Friday in the month. President, West 136L; Secretary, IVest 101.
