THE WEST VAN NEWS SCOTTISH SOCIETY A well attended meeting of the Scottish Society was held last Friday in "the Clachan," when several items of business were dealt with and a social hour was enjoyed by alL A large box of purple and white heather was received by mail from Mr. and M1 s. Jack Bruce in Inverness, Scotland. This kindly remem- brance was much appreciated by the members and each one re- ceived their "spray frae the hills," some being aside laid for absent members. Tea was served by Mrs. McVean, Edwards and McGowan. A cinderella dance under the auspices of the Society will be held on Saturday evening, 16th October, from 8 to 12 in the Hollybu» Pavilion. Old time square dances will be interspers- ed in the programme. There will be tables of cards for those who do not dance with prizes for the high scores. Eight volumes of Wilson'6 "Tales of the Borders" were don- ated to the society's library by one of the members. This lib- rary started last year and af- fords a great deal of pleasure tn the members. COUNCIL TO CALL PUBLIC MEETING ON ROAD AND BRIDGE BY-LAIV At the council meeting on Monday night a letter was re- ceived from the Ratepayers's- sociation containing a copy of the resolution passed at the As- sociation's meeting on 18th in- stant, relative to the proposed $300,000 road and bridge by-law.

What a Nurse!" the new Syd Chaplin picture which comes to the Hollyburn Theatre next Monday and Wednesday is said to be one of the funniest pictur- es ever screened. Critics in other cities have used up all the ad- jectives they'e got in trying to say that this picture will get every laugh you'e got. They all agree it is funnier than "Char- ley's Aunt" or "The Man on the Box," the pictures that lifted Syd Chaplin to the top as a screen comedian. The new picture was written by Robert E. Sherwood, editor of "Life," and Bertram Bloch, It concerns the mad adventures of a newspaper reporter, who, forced into the garments of a bootleg queen, runs into an as- tounding series of misadventur- es aboard a lugger.

Correspondence CHANGING OUR NAME Editor West Van Neivs. I do not think Mr. Guy Faulkner can have seriously con- sidered the bearings of the ques- tion of re-naming our municipal- ity. Any change would involve substantial expense and lead to a lot of confusion and trouble. The handicap under which he says we labor by reason of the name, "West Vancouver," is purely imaginary. That name is thoroughly appropriate; and it is not disfigured by flunkey- ism. If a prize is to be offered for anything, let it be offered for the retention of the present name. Yours truly, J. PORTER COOKING SCHOOL BIG SUCCESS The Cooking School held last Monday and Tuesday afternoons at Hollyburn Theatre was very well attended, there being over 400 ladies present to listen to Miss Agnes M. Reed, the domes- tic science expert of the B. C. Electric staff, who gave the lecture. The classes and dem- onstrations ivere arranged by the B. C. Electric Co., and none but electric appliances were used for the cooking of the various dish- es, the Hot Point Automatic ranges being featured at each session. Numbered folders con- taining useful and practical rec- ipes were given each member of the audience, and at the end of the demonstration a lucky ticket was drawn for an electrical per- colator. This was won by Mrs. Hampson, 20th and Fulton. To say that the demonstra- tion was a success is putting it very mildly, as the big audience was intensely interested in the remarks made by Miss Reed, and the many useful and practical hints and suggestions given by her. The utility of the electric range was made very evident, aml the rapidity and ease with which all classes of cooking were handled would unquestionably make each member of the audi- ence desirous of owning one of these ranges. The local office of the B. C. Electric Co. carries a stock of all electrical cooking arul household appliances, and is ready to give demonstrations of these at any time to interested parties. In our issue next week we shall give several of the recipes maile up and used by Miss Reed. The bathing season is about over, although u few are still to be seen going down to the beach to tal&e a swim. As there is no further use for the float at Dun- darave Pier, the council has ord- ered it removed to Eagle Har- bour, where it will be protecteil from the winter storms until the 1928 season opens. . iletter PRODUCED IN NORTH VANCOUVER QOU'LL gee better gaz if you fill up with P.
