She produces everything we wear--everything we eat--and everything that shelters us. In brief, Nother Earih has made life possible. So it is with our city and our merchants. Our success is dependent upon their success. We must support them or they will retrograde. We are to them what the plow is to the field. In other words, sustain our merchants by BUYING AT HOME. The good will of the buying public is the goal of the modern seller. Without it, they cannot exist. Back up your merchants and you prosper with them. By boosting the "Buy at Home" movement you help put your community on the map. Persistent Advertising Bluff Recently we came across this paragraph: "I would rather have my health, own a flat-bottomed fishing scow and have the confidence and friendship of the family dog, than be the biggest bluff on Broadway." We also know a man who wears loud clothes, a flushy diamond, and, by his talk, attracts much attention in a cerium city oflice building, but about once in so often a collector comes around and asks the elevator starter where he can find this big bluff. We also know a man who has made his pile, who is in the clear, and has enough laid away in conservative invest- ments to live comfortably. This man has often said to us, "It doesn't pay to fly too high." Which of these men is right? The law of gravity still works. Fly high and you'l light low. It may be fun while you are in the air, but it's fatal when you fall. A steady income, a good position, just enough responsi- bility to make you resourceful, the friendship of a few old- fashioned folks, and you'l have it ali over the swell guy who is living on borrowed capital. And then another thing that most folks know. The more success a man has--the more money he has--the more modest he is. The flashy fellow is almost a faker. I&IAPS TO BE BROUGHT UP-TO-DATE EXTENSION TO 51UNICIPAL HAI.L During the past year u num- ber of subdivisions have been opened up in West Vuncouver, causing the maps at the Munici- pal Hall to be very unreliable and of little value for reference. The council has decided, there- fore, to have these maps revise&i in time for the sittings of the Court of Revision. lienee the work will be undertaken ut once. Some divergence of opinion as to the exact nature of the pro- posed addition to the Municipal Hall was evident at the council meeting Wednesday night, an&1 as the result of the discussion it was &lecide&1 that Mr. Hugh A. Hodgson be requested to submit plans for an u&ldition, such nd&li- tion not to cost more than $G,000. Robinson Crusoe was an advertiser, even if he was marooned on an island with nothing but black Friday and a Billy goat. He wanted the passing world to know he was there and wanted to get off, so he advertised the fact. True, he had nothing but a shirt, but he put it up on the highest place he could find and waited a long time for results. Notice this, Robinson did not pull his shirt down when he didn't get results in a day or two. He kept it there and kept waiting and in the course of time he got results. Who shall say that this adver- tising did not pay? How much more reason there ought to be for the man who has something to sell to learn this lesson, when he has every agency at hand for making the fact known. The newspaper reaches the buying public in any community and if he has anything that public wants'he fact will" b' known. Any merchant who will take home the lesson that Crusoe left his shirt in the air until he got results will be just as sure to get the same results if he keeps steadily at the game of telling the people about his business. The Saturday Evening Post, one of the biggest papers, . has just the same trouble that the small weeklies have, as it charges $7 for one line or $4,500 for a page, but it covers its field just the same as the local paper and only gets results accordingly. The business that does not use paper advertising may exist, but proof its evident that sooner or later it will go by the board. CONSERVATIVE MEETING All Conservatives are asked to attend the meeting of the West Vancouver Conservative Associa- tion, which takes place in the New Ambleside Hall (Fourteenth and Marine) on Monday, Novem- ber 15th, at 8 p.m. The meeting has been called to elect delegates to the Provincial Convention at Kamloops and to discuss other matters of importance. Plaas To Be Submitted for Capilano Bridge The question of building a satisfactory bridge over the Capilano has been under the consideration of the council for some time. At Wednesday night's council meeting the Reeve stated that 'efore the matter would be considered by the Provincial Government it would be necessary to obtain suitable plans to lay before the authorities at Victoria. IVith this in view, the council on Wednesday night authorized En- gineer Hanes to bring in a scheme for a bridge. The Muni- cipal Engineering Department was also instructed to submit a plan. It is understood that no charge will be made against the municipality for these plans. Mr. Brealey President of North Shore Teachers A gratifying circum- stance from the point of view of IVest Vancouver is the election of Principal G. E. Brealey to the presi- dency of the North Shore Teachers'ederation. We have here a public proof that West Vancouver is in plain view on the educa- tional map. Mr. Brealey's connection with this municipality has lasted since the autumn of 1913, and many of the boys and girls whose primary education was guided by him& are at work in the world. They are now in a position to appreciate the value of that training in punctuality, concentration on the job in hand, and neat work which he hus ahvays made a point of giving. Parents &vould be sadly lacking in gratitude if they failed in their appreciation of what he has done for their own flesh and blood. I'rincipul Breuley has too high un ideal of public duiy to find his term of oflice a sinecure. He hns never spared himself as u teach- er, and he will never spare himself as a president. Nor is he any mere routinist; so we may feel sure that the position will lose nothing during his tenure of it. LIBERALS MEET TUESDAY A meeting of the West Van- couver Liberal Association will be held next Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the New Ambleside Hall (Fourteenth and Marine), and a good attendance is requested. It is particularly asked that all new members be present, as the programme for the season's ac- tivities will be discussed. Armistice Day Service Under the auspices of the Duncan Lawson Chapter, I. O. D. E., a memorial service was held at 10.45 a.m. on Armistice Day at the Memorial Arch. In addition to the members of the Duncan Lawson Chapter and of the West Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Legion, there were present the municipal council and the civic official, as well as a number of private individuals. Professor Morgan led the sing- ing. Mrs. I. A. Pearson was stand- ard bearer for the I. O.D. E. and Miss Alma Partington carried the standard of the Girl Guides. The service began with the hymn, "0 God, Our Help in Ages Past." Rev. David Long gave a Bible reading and, following the two minutes'ilence, Rev. A. Harding Priest made an earnest address. After another hymn, Rev. A. M. O'Donnell recited a prayer and a thanksgiving pray- er was said by all present in unison. Bugler A, D. McLauch- lan sounded the last post and wreaths were placed on the arch by the Duncan Lawson Chapter, West Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Legion, IVest Vancou- ver Scottish Society, L. O. L. No. 2990, and Mrs. Albin. The service was concluded with the benediction and the singing of the National Anthem. Illuminated Address Praised by Old Country Expert Last summer, just prior to his departure for England, Nr. Francis W. Caulfeild was the re- cipient of an illuminated address from the council at a dinner given by them in his honor and in recognition of his public- spirited generosity during his residence in )Vest Vancouver. Reeve Morgan has just received from him a letter, a copy of which is published below: London, S. IV. I., Oct. 28th, 192G. Dear Nr Morgan: I have shown your beautiful u&ldress to u friend of mine &vho is engaged at the Record Office und is, therefore. an expert in such matters. He examined it closely and pronounced the exe- cution to be remarkably good und of u style that is no&v not very common. I thought that this opinion might be of interest, not only to the kind givers but to the artist also. Hoping you are all &veil, I am, yours sincerely, FRANCIS )V. CAULFEILD, Considerable discussion took place at IVednesday night's council meeting over the proposed changes in regard to ferry and bus fares. A resolution was finally passed authorizing the issuance from the 1st December of a 25-ride punch ferry ticket for $2, good for 60 days, on which four punches are to be a!- lowed at any one time. This ticket will supersede the red, blue and green tickets, but school tickets remain the same. Councillor Ray made a proposal that a 24 strip hus ticket for 75 cents, good for all streets between Four- teenth and Twenty-ninth, be put in force instead of the present system. After some discussion, it was de- cided to lay the matter over for a week to enable investigation to be made into the extra cost of run- ning the busses to IVest Bay, this on account of the fact that a delegation from" West Bay was present ask- ing that the fare to that point be the same as to Twenty-ninth. Musical Society The first concert of the sea- son 1926-1927 will be given in the Hollyburn Theatre on Tues- day evening next at 8.15 A record attendance is hoped for.
