001B6C13 December 3rd, 1926 High School Pupils THE WEST VAN NEWS tf REENWDD D S GROCERY WEST 16 SPECIALS Xmas Cakes and Puddings To Give Concert The pupils of the West Van- couver Public Schools are put- 'ting on a Christmas concert on Wednesday, December 15th, at 7.30 p.m., in the Hollyburn Theatre. The programme will consist of drills, dances, sketches, and a Christmas play, all given by the pupils them- selves, under the direction of the teachers. Tickets will be 50 cents each and the proceeds will go to the funds for school sports. BE KIND TO ANIMALS The following eloquent appeal for a home for two deserted cats will, we hope, have the eifect of procuring a home for the felines. To turn adrift domesticated ani- mals when moving or closing a house is a practice much in evi- dence. Having had one such experience thrust into my own home, I write with feeling, that the "one" should have mult.:plied itself, thus doubling the irrita- tion, makes it not only a poig- nant experience, but also puts us in the position of supplyinq a perfectly fine specimen to an:, in want of this comfort. Just the same, it is real cruelty to turn adrift such animals at this time of the year, when it is dif- ficult for them to obtain footl. Dear Mr. Editor: It isn't often that I write a letter to an editor and I do not just know how to go about it, but knowing that you are a kind gentleman, I thought that I would write and let you know what a fix Tom and I are in. Up to about three weeks ago we lived together in a very com- fortable house and we were quite happy; but the people that we used to live with moved to the big city across the water and they quite forgot to take poor Tom and myself with them. I can tell you it is pretty hard on two respectable cats to have to find our own food during the . Cold wet weather, and if it had pot been for someone giving us recur breakfast and supper each ay I really do not know how we would have got on. You see we are quite refined cats and have never been used to hunt for our own food, and it is so unsettling to have no home that we can really call our own. I thought that perhaps you might know someone in West Vancouver who wanted a nice cat and I can assure you that both Tom and myself are quite clean and well brought up, and I don't want you to think that we are just stray cats, for we are not; and we have only been without a home for about three weeks--but I can assure you that that is quite long enough. The friends who feed us say that they do not want cats, and I had a tenible cold feeling go right down my back the other day when I heard them saying something about drowning, and Although I have never been drowned, I don't think that it can feel vetT nice and I am so afraid that they may try it on unless someone takes us over. Of course I would not like you to mention anything to Tom, but I really believe that I am a bet- ter looking cat than he is, for I am all black with a nice white shirtfront which I always keep spotlessly clean. Of course some -- 4(eople do not like a cat that is I)ISck and would prefer Tom to m'e, for he also has a white shirt- fi ont, but he is a grey tabby, I think they call it. We would like to go to the same home if possible, as we are great friends. But if you can' get someone to take us both, per- haps you could get two kind people who would look after Tom and me. My phone number is )Vest ~ Van 404L and ask for "Tabby." Hoping you are quite well. Your loving friend, PUSSY. PERSONAI&S 5Irs.
