Hallowe'en Dance The Hallowe'en dance given by Mrs. George Cross on Satur- day evening at the home of her mother, Mrs. B. M. Grady, Twenty-fout&h and Waterfront, was a most enjoyable affair. The rooms were very tastefully decorated with Chinese lanterns and gollywogs and the tables with Hallowe'en favours. All the ladies were in costume, Mrs. Ronald Clarke as a seventeenth century lady winning the first prize, while the second prize went to Mrs. Cutler, who was dressed as a little girl of five. The eighty guests present spent a thoroughly enjoyable evening in dancing and games. Ratepayers Discuss Utilities A large attendance of the executive of the Ratepayers'ssociation met last Tuesday evening and decided what would come before the regular meeting to be held next Tuesday, the 2nd November, in Ambleside Hall, at 8 p.m. After hearing various suggestions as to subjects of in- terest in the municipality, it was unanimously agreed to'ring the matter of transportation (both as regards rates and ),schedule) and also postal service &before the meeting. These mat- ters are of great importance to the public of this district and the executive hope that there will be a large turn-out next Tues- day. Meeting of P.-T. Assn. to be Held in New Ambleside Hall The Parent-Teacher tea which is to take place on the after-.. noon of Tuesday, November 9th, at 3.30 p.m., was announced last week in THE NEWS as being held in Pauline Johnson School. It has been decided since that'heNew Ambleside Hall, being more capacious and a better place for a large gathering, the reception will be held in that haik Miss Anderson, President of the B. C. Parent-Teachers Fed- eration, has kindly consented to address the gathering on the subject of the chair of Home Economics of the University of British Columbia. It is the hope of the B. C. Parent-Teachers'ederation to endow such a chair and they feel that a fur- ther and fuller knowledge of the subject will arouse the enthusi- asm of our local women to sup- port a cause so worthy and necessary for training our girls at home instead of having to send them away. An opportunity will be af- forded those present to make their donations, either small or large, to this splendid efFort for women in the cause of women and the home. The executive hope that every woman in West Vancouver, whether a member of the asso- ciation or not, will be present at this gathering. A few musical numbers and afternoon tea ivill conclude the programme. West Vancouver Choral Society The West Vancouver Choral Society will give a concert under the auspices of the Parent- Teachers'ssociation on Tues- day evening, 16th November, in the Hollyburn Theatre. OASIS By Dr. Frank Crane. Raspberries on Vine End of October Mrs. Bell, Twelfth and Duch- ess, as well as several other local residents are still obtaining raspberries from their vines. There are few places in Canada that can boast of this late pro- &luctiveness and it shows more clearly than anything else the equableness of the climate of West Vancouver. We should be glad that in life's desert are frequent oases. We do not have to travel all the time. There are spots where the camels can rest and ease their burdens, and where you may drink refreshing draughts at the bubbling springs. In the first place, there is sleep. This usually comes to all of us once in twenty-four hours. If we are fortunate enough to be good sleepers, we can lay down our burdens, no matter how serious they are, and enjoy several hours of vaca- tion, even though the burdens stand ready by the side of our bed to leap upon us the next morning. Places of entertainment and shows are oases. Their principal value to us is that while we are enjoying them we forget ourselves. The value of entertainment depends upon its absorbing power, its ability to take us away from ourselves. To be sure, the old man of the sea that ages us stands ready at the door to leap upon our backs as we come out, but for a while we have had surcease. A friend is an oasis. Goethe says, "This world is so waste and empty when we figure but towns and hills and rivers in it, but to know that someone is living on with us in silence, this makes our earthly ball a peopled garden." How a friend rests you! To know that someone is for you no matter what happens, to know that someone loves you and believes in you--that is decidedly an easement to our burdens. Faith is an oasis. To believe in yourself, in your star or destiny, somehow eases the load you have to carry. To believe in other people is a rest, and above all to believe in the Supreme Goodness, that there is an All Father who will carry all our burdens for us if we know how to cast our burden upon Him. This makes life bearable. It is not so arranged that we must carry our load continu- ally. Nothing is continual. Life is rhythmic. There are nights and Sundays and other vacation times when we lay our harness by and rest the chafed places. Thank heaven for the oases of life l It's a Good Idea to prevent s cold if you csn; bot if yoo are unlucky, remember wc hsvo sH you will need for the speedy relief from it.
