The Town Planning movement and the powers being granted to municipalities by leg- islature are evidence of this, and appeals strongly to the architect be he either a landscape or build- ing architect. He realizes that his effof&s to improve the de- sign of individual gardens or buildings will be of small value until opportunity is afforded of bringing into true relationship one with the other and of giving in each case proper consideration to the whole picture. In the planning of our cities and towns of the future, consid- eration should first be given to the welfare of the residents and the development of our parks and buildings. The planning of buildings and sites will no doubt eventually be taken up by the municipalities, but until that time is reached it may be neces- sary for smaller bodies such as the Horticultural and Garden societies to take up the work and carry out certain parts of it. Ex- perience will prove how much of the work can be successfully carried out by these societies, but there is no doubt that the floral part of the parks and the beautification of parking strips could be safely entrusted to them. This surely would be a step in the right direction. IVhen considering the subject ofgg town planning, it is evident that IIII the deplorable features of the residential areas of some of our «J ities, towns and suburbs are 4argely due to their individualis-ic development. I have pur- posely referred to the fact that cities and towns are the expres- sion of something in the lives of those responsible for their de- velopment and growth. The fact that the population of our cities and towns have been, and are, mere aggregations of separate struggling units, having little in common one with another, perhaps to a great extent ac- counts for the lack of proper plans to develop the whole for the benefit of everyone living there. In the feudal days there was a definite relationship between e different classes and indiv- uals of society which had a tre- mendous effect on the character of the cities and towns of those days. This olden order of things may have been primitive in na- ture and detrimental to the lib- erties of the people but it at least provided for an orderly develop- ment of the country. The growth of democracy has destroyed the feudal structure of society and has left us the isolation of our freedom. IVhile we have no de- sire to return to the olden days, nevertheless there is fast devel- oping a new sense of the rights and duties of a community, dis- tinct from the rights of the in- dividual. We are learning that a new order and relationship in society is coming to take the place of the old, that the setting NOTE--Tha writer will consider It ~ pieasure to answer questions conceralne the pardon In tbl~ column.

TOWN PLANNliNG C0515IISSION REI'ORT TO COUNCIL A report from the Town Plan- ning Commission was presented to the council at their meeting last Monday. Several sugges- tions and recommendations were ma&le, amongst these being the proposal to close the present gar- bage dump approximating Am- bleside Park. Fuller details of this matter are given in another part of this issue. The commis- sion recommemied for the con- sideration of the council the op- ening or the allocation of certain main roads in the area lying be- twen 20th and 28th Streets from Haywood to Spencer, as shown in the topographical survey made by G. S. Conway, a copy of which was attached to the report. The commission recommended to the consideration of the coun- cil an application of Councillor K. A. Ray to have the south-east corner of 29th and Marine Drive classified for business purposes. This lot had been occupied by the P. G. E. as a machine shop and car terminus long before the bylaw concerning Altamont was in force. It was stated also that the lot was not suited for busi- ness purposes. The commission advised the council that James Baxter's term as commissioner had expired, and requested them to fill the vacancy. We Agree. A Berlin faster claims to have gone forty-four days without food. It is our opinion that he should have either given his ord- er to another waiter or tried a different restaurant.--Judge. COUNCILLOR LEYI.AiND FIRED AT BY UNKJVOlVN ASSAILANT While Councillor Leyland was motoring past the Indian Re- serve in North Vancouver at 5.50 p.m. 51onday on his way home, he was fired at by some unknown party, and had a narrow escape from death or injury. The bul- let, evidently a long .22 from the size of the hole it made and the length of the cracks in the plate glass, crashed through the rear window on the left or driver' side of the car. It is worthy of note that the hole was exactly in line with the Councillor Ley- land's head, as he sat in the front seat, in other words, his assail- ant failed to allow for the motion of the car. The North Vancou- ver city police were notified and are conducting an investigation.

II Useful Recipes ( nuulluulltuuauluuumlttututuuu tlmuluutlltaa Party Cakes Make a cake mixture with two eggs, their weight in butter and sugar, and a little more than their weight in finely-sifted flour. Turn into eight or nine small butter-f.ins and bake for fifteen minutes. IVhen cool scoop out a little of the middle of the cakes, put in a teaspoonful of apricot or any favorite jam, and over this put a little whipped cream. Brush the edges with the white of an egg, cover them thickly with chopped angelica to repre- sent moss, and make a handle for the basket with strips of angeli- ca which have been laid in water to make them pliable. Curried Rabbit Apart from the rabbit is re- uired one tablespoonful of curry owder, one small chopped onion, one sour apple, grated; four tablespoons of butter, one table- spoon flour, the juice of half a lemon, a cup and a half of stock. The usual seasoning. Cut the rabbit into joints, and dip each piece in the flour; then brown them in the hot butter; remove the rabbit from the pan, and in the same fat fry the onion; add the grated apple, stock, season- ing, etc. When the stock boils, replace the rabbit, and simmer slowly till cooked. Arrange the meat in the centre of a rather deep dish, and pour the gravy over all. Serve with boiled rice.0 Salmon Sandwiches Drain away the liquid from a tin of salmon and pound the flesh, add a little minced parsley, some butter, a seasoning of salt and pepper, a little grated horse radish, Lml a few drops of Chilli vinegar. Mix all well, and spread between thin slices of bread and butter. Cut into small, pretty shapes, and garnish with pars- ley. FACTS ABOUT GLOVES In mending kid gloves, cotton thread should be used because silk thread cuts the leather. A fine needle should also be used and the buttonhole stitch used. Gloves mended by this stitch cannot rip or pull out. The following glove leathers are all Ivashable: Doeskin, white buckskin, pigskin, chamois, cape grain d:erskin, and mocha and suede that are tanned. Gloves should be washed on the hands in a bowl of clean, white soap-suds. They retain their snape better if washed on the hands. In washing gloves, have a little soap in the rinsing water in ord- er to keep the material soft. REPAIR WITH RIBBON Frequently the coat lining shows signs of wear around the cuffs or collar, or at the bot- tom of the skirt while the rest of the collar is still quite good. Perhaps the easiest and handiest way of repairing such worn plac- es is by using ribbon. The rib- bon should be chosen either in the same color as the lining or in a contrasting shade for decor- ation, and should be sufficiently wi&le to cover the worn places. Loosen the lining from the coat and stitch the ribbon on the edge of the lining and down on the other edge when the lining is fastened back in the coat. In using ribbon on the sleeves it should be stitched in at the sides where the lining is seamed. )Vhen ribbon is use&i along the back of the neck it can be stitch- ed into the shoulder seams and finished with fancy knots or points. Fruit stains can be removed from the hamls by rubbing with salt moistened with vinegar. The juice of a lemon will re- move obstinate marks from paintwork. The paint shoul&l afterwards be washed over with warm, soapy water. We recommend re-roofing right over the old shingles. ADVANTAGES: I---No expense or labor removing old shingles. 2---No litter to clean up afterwards; 3---No delay waiting for dry weather; 4---Increased insulation against cold and heat; 5---Economy in heating.
