THE WEST VAN NEWS on .hs Iso u' el s .4th ISOL l bins ,sfses book phone 31R3 I I05 i 1 'e e hgggu&Wsessss essleslelesessssess sss'slee Too Young to Know By Dr. Frank Crane Herbert Hoover is a strange sort of politician. IVhen he makes a speech he usually says something worth thinking about. In a late utterance he pointed out that the aim of educa- tion should be to produce normal children, but that as yet no one knows what a normal child is. The child a prize fighter would pick as normal and the one a poet would choose would be entirely different in charact- er. The standard in normalcy depends upon the individual who does the picking. "In our image" is the usual guiding motto. Beyond a few fundamentals--such as good health and an active mind--men run into disagreement. The reason we do not know what a normal child is like is because we don ot know what a normal man is like, because behiml it all we do not know what we are here for. What ivas man put on this whirling globe in space for, allytvay . What is his biggest job? He is placed without definite instructions. He finds him- self groping around trying to understand what he is to do, what he is to be, what he is here for? On such questions we get an infinite variety of personal opinions, but no proved answers--a multitude of sparks, but no steady flame. We do not know absolutely whether Gene Tunney, Serge- ant York, Eugene V. Debs, or Percy Bysshe Shelley comes nearest to living the kind of life men are intended to live on our earth. We can only watch, think, and come to our own conclusions. In terms of planets, our earth is young. Man is still younger. Civilization and thought are younger yet. Human- ity is nearer its source than its ending. The earth will go spinning through space--a great labor- atory wherein men will work out their experiments and their destiny, if we accept the word of scientists--for some billions of years. In that time the answera to the great questions: What am I? Why was I put here? What am I supposed to become? may be found. We do not know them now. Perhaps because we ure too young to know.

Sey. 4000 ~ I ~~~FE Bey 4000 ~3U%SPOR~PP'INTS IJO THE HOM For an Onion Flavor To let the flavor of onion in a cooked food without the dis- agreeable effect of pieces of the vegetables, cut rather finely and put in an aluminum tea-ball. The onion may then be cooked with the food and easily remov- ed before serving. Rosy Hued Salad If the rich, red vinegar saved from the beet pickles is used when making the salad dressing the result will be a dressing of a rosy hue that will add a "dif- ferent" touch to the salad. There is little or no difference in the taste of the dressing. When Making Croquettes It is difficult to have fresh, crisp crackers always on hand, so instead of rolling croquettes in cracker-crumbs roll them in crushed corn-flakes, or bran. It gives a delightful flavor. Something Dill'erent A mushroom sauce is delicious cold boiled or poached eggs the to serve with hot eggs, and with addition of Russian dressing makes a regular salad. Instead of Cream Tomato juice may be used in- stead of milk or cream to add to the eggs when making an om- let. It gives a distinct flavor that is most appetizing. Sift flour before measuring it. Otherwise it will be too tightlv nacked and the amount used will be too much for the recipe. Fruit for Dessert Fruit is highly recommended as a dessert since it contains an alkiline saliva which helps to prevent the decay of the teeth. Beauty Suggestion Your electric iron has many uses besides its original mission in life. Turn it upside down, put several layers of wet cloth over it and you can give yourself a face steaming second to none of- fered by an expensive beauty parlor. A Quick Process You can toast weiners to a tempting brown by setting them in the spaces allotted for toast in your electric toaster. Put a pan beneath to catch the drip- pings. Teachers'nnual Dance How the Funds Are Used. As a dance is to be given by the teachers of the West Van- couver Public Schools next month it might be well to give some idea as to what is propos- ed to do with the proceeds. Last year a dance was given which netted over $80.00. The ICinder- spiel last spring raised the a- mount by $50.00 while the Christ- mas concert added another $50. Donations have been received from the School Board and Par- ent Teachers'ssociation bring- ing the total to about $230.00. This was divided proportion- ately among the three schools- Hollyburn, Dundarave an&I Paul- ine Johnson. Out of this amount about $ 100.00 has been spent in purchasing sports equipment, in- cluding baseballs and bats for boys aml girls, basketballs, foot- balls, etc. The remainder has been set aside in each school as a fuml towards providing perm- anent playground equipment for the smaller folks such as swings, teeters and if possible a slide which is ahvays so popular. It is hoped that after Friday, Feb. 11, the funds will be so enlarged as to enable at least one of the former to be cree"ted at each school. CORRESPONDENCE Hollyburn P. 0 The Editor, WEST VAN. iNEIVS. Dear Sir: Kindly allow me a little space in your valuable paper, now the new council have got settled down for another year. They would do well to centre their at- tention around the waiting room on the other side. I am not speaking for myself but for the majority of passengers that travel on the West Van. Ferries. It seems that they go about half way with improvements andthen quit. Now my work keeps me over totvn till 10.30 p.m., where- as I just miss the 10.30 p. m. ferry. The only alternative is to sit in that beautiful waiting room or go and sit on the wharf aml shiver ivith cold for about three-quarters of an hour. Is it any wonder that quite u number over here have been ill with the flu and pneumonia? That's certainly a good way to get it. IVhy didn't they put a stove in and make it a little more comfortable or better still to give someone the privilege of having a newsstand inside on condition that they keep the place clean and warm. A com- fortable waiting room on the other side isn't a luxut~ but a necessity for everyone concern- ed and I think that we should get a little action from the council regarding this matter. Yours for a httle more convenience. Veterans Hold Meeting The West Vancouver branch of the Canadian Legion held a special meeting in the G. W. V. A. rooms at Ambleside on Mon- day evening, when a number of business matters were dealt with. The branch went on rec- ord as being opposed to any dis- crimination being shown against officers and their dependents as regards any benefits to be de- rived from the Canteen Fund. It was decided to have the annual masquerade dance on St. Pat- rick's Day, 17th March, this be- ing the date on which the previ- ous masquerades have been held. The next regular meeting will take place on Friday, 4th Febru- ary, in the G. W. V. A. rooms at Ambleside, and it is earnestly requested that every member make a point of attending this meeting, as a number of import- ant matters will be dealt with.
