Resampled001B6E64 .January 20, 1928. Elected "1Vest Vancouver being of a purely residential nature," he said, "required private and semi- private wards, whilst North Vancouver, being an industrial centre, would require chiefly public wards." Unless the dis- tricts were to be amalgamated, Dr. Bayfield would not favor go- ing into partnership with the other Districts of the North Shore as regards the construc- tion of a joint hospital. He ask- ed the board to appoint a special committee to make representa- tions to the Municipal Council with a view to getting that body to set aside an area of land, say about 25 acres, as a hospital site, claiming that this district offer- ed many locations highly suit- able for this purpose. It was decided, however, that the mat- ter be turned over for the at- tention and report of the chair- man whose committee dealt with such matters. Officers The annual meeting of the Board of Trade was held in the Ambleside Hall last Monday, when officers for the coming year were elected. Most of the 1927 officers were re-elected, the personnel for 1928 being: Honor- ary President, John Lawson; President, Lieut.-Colonel K. IV. Savory; Vice-President, IV. Mc. Quaker; Treasurer, W. Dickin- son. Charles Appleton was ap- pointed auditor and Sam Harri- son became semetary in place of Hugh May, who has removed from the district. The following were elected as members of the council: Messrs. Duval, Harvey Smith, Lunn, Tite, Williams, Os- borne, Hodgson, Roberts, Rerrie and Dr. Bayfield. Reports were read by chair- men of committees and officers in attendance and a review of the year's work was given by Colonel Savory, who in his presi- dential review pointed out that though the board had only been organised for one year and was just now getting into effective operation, much good construct- ive work had been accomplished, and it was expected that the 1928 board would be found a use- ful organisation in community service and development. Dr. Bayfield addressed the meeting regarding the proposal of submitting a hospital bylaw as requested by North Vancou- ver City and District, stating that he was very strongly a- gainst such a proposal. He claimed that the needs of North Vancouver and West Vancouver regarding hospital facilities were of a totally different nature.

Three putple petals sun ound the centre of the flower and then comes three drooping petals or flags of a rich put711ish color marked with dark veins which attract the attention of the bees. The three branched structure first described we will find on closer examination to be the pis- tils and the little tongue-like af- fairs at the ends are the stig- mas with the stigmatic surface on the upper and outward side only. To find the stamens we will have to lift up or cut away one of these arching styles and under it we will find the anther or tip of the stamen covered with pollen. With a complete knowledge of what is expected of him the bee, who is a frequent visitor to the Iris, lights on the petals and fol- lowing the dark veins he crawls under the arched pistil and down the passageway until he can reach into the well of nectar with his tongue and drink. As there is not sufficient room for him to turn around he must necessarily back out. In doing so his hairy shoulders brush against the pol- len laden anther. Backing up further still he must pass under the little tongue-like affair which lifts up and protects the stig- matic surface from being cover- ed with pollen from the flower itself. The bee laden with pollen now goes to another Iris. As he passes down the passage-tvay the little tongue acts not as a valve but as a scoop to scrape off the pollen from the been onto the stigma thus completing the cross fertilization.

The orchids have a very complex mechanism as also have some of our less rare flowers. The pol- len of the milk-weed clings to the legs of the bee in forms somewhat resembling a ball and chain and in many cases the bee is unable to get away. The mountain laurel shoots its pollen out as if from a gun. The surprising manner in which some of our plants insure their cross fertilization is almost bewildering. Each one oI them seems to have worked out a scheme of its own for attracting and putting to work the various insects which in many cases pro- vide the means of cross fettiliza- tion. Some of them have even de- veloped devices for protecting the stigma from the pollen of its own flower. In some cases the stamins move about like ten- tacles covering the insect with pollen Other flowers use piston like affairs for disposing of the pollen before the stig- ma is fully developed. In this way self-fertilization is pre- vented. In addition to the few methods mentioned there are literally hundreds of others. Very frequently the mechan- ism of a flower consists of a small flap or valve which lifts up or drops down over the stig- ma at the proper time and pre- vents the pollen of the flower it- self from reaching the stigma. This is particularly noticeable in the Iris. Just above the ovary in the centre of the flower is a sac or well of nectar, rising out of ihis is a stalk which separates into three branches which re- sembles petals.
