After reading of minutes, cor- respondence and other prelimin- aries the meeting proceeded with the election of officers.

McQuaker, Rerrie and Roberts was appointed to make arrange- ments necessary for this. Price of tickets for the banquet is not to exceed $LOO.

The building would have seated more people, but those who were present enjoyed every minute of the programme. The ability of the artists and the cause for which the concert was held deserved a packed house. However, the Elks'hristmas Cheer Fund will receive a sub- stantial amount as a result of the endeavours of the local mem- bers, who organised the enter- tainment. The proprietor of the theatre very generously donat- ed its use. The drawing for the annual I'affle of the West Vancouver branch of the Canadian Legion took place at Ambleside Hall on Monday night. Mrs. W. B. Small, regent of the Duncan Lawson Chapter, I. O. D. E., did the drawing. A number of peo- ple were present to hear the re- sults. The raffle was very suc- cessful, netting the Legion over $ 100. A unanimous vote of thanks was passed to Mrs. Small for her kindness in doing the drawing.

Hodgson, of West Vancouver, at a recent concert of the Victoria Orchestral Society, had this to say: "The assisting artist was Mrs. F. X. Hodgson, contralto. Mark- ed down in our columns two sea- sons ago Mrs. Hodgson is secure- ly assuring for herself a high pinnacle of vocal achievement. She is a woman of fine gifts, has a gorgeous voice, is thoroughly schooled, and is untiring in per- sonal effort. She sings with rare intelligence, and her selections are always good. Her diction, too, is a treat, her consonants particularly so, and she carries conviction and a sincerity that fail not in reaching the hearts of her hearers. She chose in all six numbers, among which were "Voce di Donna" (Angelic Voice) the great contralto aria from Ponchielli's "La Gioconda," "Im Herbst" (In Autumn) by Franz, one of the most popular of this composer's two hundred or more songs: Coleridge-Taylor's "A Blood-red Ring Hung Round the Moon," and "Invocation to Life," a fine song, both of these suiting her voice superbly. At the con- clusion of each of her three groups, Mrs. Hodgson received continuous and unmistakable manifestations of approval and for additional numbers. She in the order given sang Sanderson's "My Dear Soul," "Top of the Morning," and, by request, "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice." The singer received adequate and sympathetic support from her accompanist, Mrs. Clifford Warn. Mrs. Hodgson has been engag- ed to take part in the next con- cert organised by the Victoria Orchestral Society. A CHRISTMAS bVISH God bless you, sweet friend this Xmas morn, How blest was I when you were born, For you have taught me how to endure, And bear the Cross, the Crown to ensure. Fair weather friends are all very ivell But when trouble comes, ah! then we can tell That a friend who's a friend in time of need Is surely a very true friend in- deed. Blessings many then, I wish you Now and often, from you know who. "MERRY XMAS" --M. BULICLEY, Dundarave. ST. JOHN'S AhIBULANCE ASSN. FOR WEST VAN. Doctor F. Stainsby and Mr. T. E.
