ARRANGEMENTS FOR JUBILEE CELEBRATION The Diamond Jubilee Confed- eration Committee held their regular weekly meeting on Wed- nesday evening with Reeve Vin- son in the chair. Satisfactory progress was reported by the various committees. The Lions'ate Cinema Co. is putting in a float, and the Holly- burn Ridge Ski Club will do the same, if they are not away at the Mount Rainier Sports. The Vancouver City Council will take part in the North Shore parade, and it is expected the Vancouver City float will also be over for the occasion. The sum of $25 has been don- ated by the Scottish Society for the decoration of the arch which is being erected by the council on Marine Drive at the easterly boundary of the municipality. The site for the platform at Ambleside Park has been chosen and the work of erection will be undertaken next week. The Native Sons Boys'and is coining over to head the par- ade in West Vancouver from 11th to 14th streets on Marine Drive and will afterwards play that portion of the parade which is marching on their way back from 14th street to Ambleside Park. The band of the Field Company, Canadian Engineers, will come from North Vancouv- er with the motor driven parade and will play it from 14th street through the municipality to 25th street and back to Amble- side Park. A letter has been received by the council from the National Committee of the Confederation Diamond Jubilee in Ottawa hop- ing that on Sunday, July 8, at 2:30 p.m. a national thanksgiv- ing service will be arranged and enclosing a form of service which is generally to be used through- out Canada. The matter was referred to the local committee. It has since been learned the ser- vice arranged by the local com- mittee will take place at 2 p.m. at the Memorial Arch, and will be largely based on the form of service suggested. I'LAYGROUND FUND RECEIVES BOOST Mr. Stuart Cameron of Caul- feild has donated $ 100 to the children's playground fund, ac- cording to word received from the chairman, Councillor Ray. The fourth Annual Floral Fes- tival staged by the West Van- couver Agricultural and Horti- cultural Association was held in Dundarave Hall last Saturday, being formally opened by Reeve Vinson. There was a good at- tendance and much interest and surprise was evidenced by the visitors at the magnificent exhi- bition of flora and of the handi- work of the boys and girls for whom a separate department was organised. West Vancouver is noted for its natural beauty but the good work this association is doing will soon develop a reputation for the district as the Flower Garden of B. C. Too much praise cannot be given to the hardivorking, enthusiastic officers for the tremendous int- erest they are creating and en- couraging others to exert in beautifying their home sur- roundings. The Children's Section was this year increased and the ad- vent of Manual Training in the High and Public Schools, was recognised and encouraged. The woodwork department showed some specially interesting and commendable work, whilst the girls section produced some ex- cellent specimens of needlework. The President's trophy for the Best Garden went to Mr. C. Bar- row whilst Mr. B. Babcock took the Reeve's trophy for the best Utility Garden. The J. M. Lar- nie Cup was awarded Kathleen Hodgson for the Best Bouquet of Flowers. During the evening a number of piano selections were given by Miss Tristram which were much enjoyed by the visitors.

Keep Your Eye on the Senior Team The West Vancouver Senior Baseball Team has been unfortunate so far this season inasmuch as they have won only one game. The ability of the individual players, how- ever, must not be guaged by this showing. The team, as a whole, has the makings of a real good ball team. It must be remembered that this is the first year these boys have played together while every other team in the league has the advan-'age of being carried over from last year. The standing of the team, however, has caused the offi- cers to do a bit of analyzing; the result of which has been shown in the line-up in recent games. A new manager has been put in charge, and the whole team moved around. The team now looks an entirely different aggregation, and it is very evident that a different morale is in evidence. The players have not yet got used to their difFerent positions, and naturally can not be expected to play with the unanimity and smoothness which only combined practice can produce, but from noiv on keep your eye on the West Van team. They are going to start climbing. Boost them at the games. Don't knock. Be a real live home fan. By doing this you will help the team to win. METING TO NAME HIGHIVAY In connection with the pro- posed renaming of the highway from the Second Narrows bridge to IVhytecliff, the Reeve and Councillor Ray will attend a joint meeting of representatives from the North Shore councils, who will meet for this pur- pose at the North Vancouver city hall tonight at 7:30 p.m. The council on Monday evening ivent on record as favoring the highway being known through- out its entire length as the "Pa- cific Highway," providing that locally the name of Marine Drive be retained. MEETING OF RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION TONIGHT A special meetmg of the Rate- payers Association ivill be held tonight in the Ambleside Hall. The special purpose of the meet- ing is to discuss the bylaws which have recently been re- ceiving the attention of the coun- cil, i.e., the one for the purpose of purchasing beach property for Ambleside Park, and the other regarding the proposal to purchase a new ferry boat. P. C. Chapman, president of the asso- ciation, will occupy the chair. The meeting is timcsl for 8:15... The Duncan I,airson Chapter I. O. D. E. will hold a iag day tomorrow (Sat urday ), t he pro- «eeds of which will be used for beautifying the grounds around the hlemorial Arch. As this is a particularly worthy object. it is to be hoped ihnt the people of West Vancouver will give it their whole-hearted support. Tenders are being called for the new building to be construct- ed at 14th and klarine by Geo. Hay The closing day is Tues- day, July 5. Owing to the holiday The News ivill be issued on Thursday next week. Vote for the Bridge The voters of Vancouver City will go to the polls tomor- row and will record their opinion of the approach through Stanley Park to the proposed Lions'ate bridge. During the prolonged negotiations that have occurred since the ques- tion of building the bridge was first mooted last summer there has been opposition of the strongest kind, in the press and privately, on the part of certain interests who consider their interests will be damaged if the bridge becomes a reality. Day by day and week by week they have been working against the project, and they are now working as they never did before. No stone has been left unturned by them, no money spared, and no influence neglected. Realizing as they do that only the plebiscite stands between them and defeat, they will fight it out to the last ditch. It must be remembered that this is a plebiscite. Every resident is eligible. There are a number of residents in West Vancouver who have a vote in Vancouver, and it is the duty of each one of them to exercise the franchise, if he has the good of West Vancouver, aye, and of Vancouver as well, at heart.. In spite of all that has been said in the Province, the old axiom remains true that one cannot beneflt a part without beneflting the whole, and «hat is good for West Vancouver is good for Vancouver..ln addition to the perman- ent advantages to be gained by both places from the bridge, there is a payroll of $2,000,000 at least waiting to be paid to the wage earners of Greater Vancouver from the construction of the bridge, and they can't alFord to lose one dollar of it. Let every resident, therefore, of IVest Vancouver, con- sult the voters'ists to see if his name is registered therein. If in doubt, telephone headquarters, Seymour 4390 or 4391. Let each one talk to or phone EVERY friend who is a Vancouver voter, and endeavor to persuade them to vote for the bridge, at the same time phoning Seymour 4390 or 4391, where arrangements will be made to take the voter to and from the polls. remember, FVERV vote will be req"~ if the bridge is to be built, for we are up against an opposition that »ill see to it that every one of their own voters turns out. Do you realize this? Every vote will count. IVest Vancouver needs yours.
