December 23, 1927 "CHRISTMAS GLORY" RF NAMING LITTLE SIOUNTAIN Editor Wast Van. News: The occurrence of the name "Baby Mountain" in one of your news para- graphs last week suggests the possi- bility of having a useful discussion of the permanent name, for I take it that no one wishes "Baby Moun- tain" to become permanent. Personally, I should have preferred ta scs the original name retained, if it had been possible. But the exist- cucs of a hill in South Vancouver with a prior claim, and moreover of one which is so well known in Greater - Vancouver as the site of its main high land reservoir, makes it certain that a change will be made some day in the name of ouc own hilL I have not got the knack of discov- ering good names for places. Like Thoreau, when asked at the dinner- table what dish hc would prefer, I should be disposed to answer, "The nearest." The name of "Amblcsids Hill" has been suggested by a local man who refuses to allow his own name to be mentioned. As I have had nothing to do with inventing it, I may per- haps be allowed to say that it looks as if "Amblsside Hill" might slip quietly and acceptably into uss. I should like, however, to scc the mat- ter d'cussed in your columns. It is one which is thoroughly in place in a local paper. Yours truly, J. PORTER. Disillusioned "I'm getting up a little poker game, Major," invited the friend. "Would you like to join us?" "Sir, I do not play poker." "I'm sorry. I was under the im- pression that you did."

You'd get trampled to death in the first rush." "I see some one has suggested a statute to the man who in- vented rubber tires." "IVouldn't a bust be more ap- propriate?" "Your letter will receive my unremitting attention," wrote the man who was broke, in ans- wer to the dunning letter from his tailor.

"Well, they do tell me he ban got tin days."'or years there had been a bitter feud between MacGregor and MacTavish, but at last Mac- Gregor decided it was time to bury the hatchet. So he approached MacTavish, and they shook hands and made peace. Then MacGregor sug- gested a drink. "An'oo," said he, as they reached the village hostelry, "what'l ye hae?" "A double whisky."

"niy word," exclaimed the English- man, "do you rlaim the jolly old bison as your own, toa?" "Surely," replied the American, "the bison is a species of American buf- falo." "Ho, ho," laughed the Londoner, "if I didn"lways think that the bison was something to wash your 'ands in." Flash Christmas glory over all the world, Spread out your banners, starlit clouds unfurled; Just as you did on that first Christmas night, When angels'inions dimmed your splendour bright. Flash Christmas glory in this heart of mine, Paling earth's tapers with your light divine; Tapers of self and greed that fade away, Lost in the radiance of your heavenly ray. Flash Christmas glory lest I dazzled be, Draw me, oh Christ child, very close to Thee; I would be close beside the manger bed, Rough resting place for King to lay His head. Flash Christmas glory tho'he way be dim, Blaze us a trail that leads us straight to Him; Straight to the manger where the Baby lies, Welcome for all the world within His eyes. --Honotda Traill, West Vancouver, B.C.
