',glaP. West Vancouver Ratepayers'ssn. Mrs. F. Barbour Is Hostess Mrs. Hodgsoll Assists Victoria Musical Socy. Mrs. F. K. Hodgson returned from Victoria on Tuesday morn- ing's boat. Mrs. Hodgson was the assisting artist at the con- cert given by the Victoria Or- chestral Society in the Empress Hotel ballroom on Monday eve- ning. The concert was broad- casted, which enabled many radio fans in West Vancouver to enjoy the programme. The adjourned meeting of thc above association tvas held at Ambleside Hall on Tuesday eve- ning, December 14th. The presi- dent, lair. P. C. Chapman, was in the chair. After considerable discussion in regard to improved mail serv- ice, a resolution was brought down appointing six members to wait on Postal Inspector Murray with a view to enquiring as to the possibility of obtaining city delivery or, failing which, to in- sist on material improvement in the present mail service within the municipality. The following resolution was also brought down with reference to the Lions'ate bridge and a copy of same was sent to E. E. Br~don-Jack, chairman of the Lions'ate commission, sitting in Vancouver: "Whereas, the District of West Vancouver is rapidly growing in population and is es- sentially a residential district, the residents of which are gen- erally engaged in business in the city of Vancouver and the means of transportation necessitate an average period of forty-five minutes to reach their places of business in the city; "And whereas the projected bridge across the Lions'ate would reduce the average time expe'nded in travelling to about twenty minutes; "And whereas in the District of West Vancouver there is po- , j tentially one of the best residen- tial districts on the Pacific Coast, embracing a scenic and natural park area comparable with any on this continent; "Therefore, be it resolved, that this association places itself on record as considering the im- mediate construction of the Lions'ate bridge both desirable and necessary." Several . improvements were suggested for the convenience and comfort of passengers on the Municipal Ferries and the fol- lowing resolution was passed, with a copy ordered to be sent to the municipal chairman of transportation: "1. That the 'No Smoking'ign in the forward cabin of the West Vancouver Ferry No. 6 be removed. "2. That an improvement in the ventilation of the smoking cabin of the West Vancouver No. 5 be effected. "3. That a covered way be provided at Ambleside wharf for the buses to draw under in order to protect passengers waiting the arrival of same in wet weather. "4. That better lighting be provided in the gangways and floats at both the city and West Vancouver terminals. j "5. That automobiles be pre- 'evented from parking between the entrances to the subway and gangway of the ferries at the city terminal in order to protect passengers in going to and from the ferries." "But, madam," the registrar's clerk explained to a film-actress applicant, "the law compels me io record all previous marriages before I issue a license." "Good heavens!" exclaimed her prospective husband. "An&I I'e got a taxi waitingl" Mrs. Frederick Barbour was hostess at a whist drive and musical evening to members of the L. O. B. A. aml friends last Thursday evening at her home. "Rocklands," Waterfront, Dun- darave. The hostess was assist- ed in receiving the guests and during the evening by Mrs. Frank Rivers, Mrs. S ntence and Miss Rivers. The prizes, don- ated by Mr. Fred Barbour, were won by: Ladies'irst, Miss Bow- man; ladies'econd, Mrs. Fred Johnston; consolation, Mrs. Curry; gents'irst, Mr. Ross; gents'onsolation, Mr. Sentence. There were eight tables. Dainty refreshments were served, fol- lowed by a musical programme. Songs were sung by Mrs. Rivers, Mrs. Barbour, Mr. Childs, Mr. Colin Turner and Mr. Tom Turner. Mrs. T. Tuimer and Mr. Childs accompanied on the piano. I. O. D. E. World Champion Pole Vaulter to Visit Hollyburn Ridge R. J. Verne, athletic leader of the Vancouver Scandinavian col- ony, has been advised that Arne Borg, record-breaking swimmer, who some time ago was reported in the United States as having decided to try his fortunes in Uncle Sam's domain, has decided to remain at home, having turned down several lucrative offers. Mr. Verne also states that Charles Hoif, world champion pole vaulter, who paid a recent visit to Vancouver, will return for a couple of weeks before leaving for home early in June, when his temporary residence permit in the United States ex- pires. Hoff is interested in ski- ing and will visit the camp at Hollyburn Ridge, which is rapid- ly nearing completion. The regular monthly meeting of the Duncan Lawson Chapter, I. 0. D. E., was held on Monday afternoon at St. Stephen's Par- ish Hall, the regent, Mrs. W. B. Small, presiding. Donations were made to the North Shore Elks Christmas Fund, Shaugh- nessy Hospital Christmas enter- tainment, Navy League, I. O. D. E. Emergency Fund, and a bedside lamp for Shaughnessy Hospital was also donated. It was decided to continue the monthly donations to the Hos- pital Host Fund for 1927. Plans were made for a mili- tary whist drive to be held at the New Ambleside Hall on Wednesday, January 5th. Mrs. P. C. Chapman and Mrs. W. B. Thomas were appointed general conveners. Tea was served, the hostesses being Mrs. A. H. Pren- tice and Mrs. P. C. Chapman. A Christmas tea was held on Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. L. Vaughan, under the auspices of the Dun- can Lawson Chapter, I. 0. D. E. The rooms were tastefully dec- orated with colorful Christ- mas decorations. Holly and red tapers centered the table, at which Mrs. David Morgan and Mrs. Thomas Dick poured tea, and members of the chapter as- sisted in serving. Mrs. Howard Leggatt, Miss Frame and Mas- ter Alan Vaughan contribute&i to a delightful programme. Hollyburn Temperature The lowest temperature reach- ed on Sunday night, December 12th, was 20 degrees Fahren- heit, or 12 degrees of frost. The lowest reached on Monday night, which was the coldest we have had this winter, was 14 degrees Fahrenheit, or 18 degrees of frost. The figure for Monday night is practically the same as Mr. Shearman's figure at Ifitsi- lano. If any resident has obtained a lower figure than mine, I should be glad if he would give me an opportunity of testing his ther- mometer by coniparison with a verified one in my possession. I mention this because low read- ings are very often seriously out through error in that part of the scale of the thermometer used. The ordinaa~ theannome- ter is adjusted to be correct at 60 degrees and may be quite wild at 20 degrees. One of my own is six degrees out at the lower temperature, though it was bought from a reputable maker. J. PORTER. " CAKES aod DDINGS Chinese Laundry Fire A serious fire broke out in the Chinese laundry on Clyde Street at 11 a.m. on Monday. The fire brigade quickly responded to the alarm and, in spite of the cold weather, were successful in sav- ing the building from total de- struction, only the wash room aml a washing machine being burnt. The owner tvas on the Marine Drive at the time, but, hearing the alarm, hurried back and managed to save the parcels of laundry. L. O. L.
