VERXE PRESIDENT SKI ASSOCIATIOiV Last week a Western Canada Ski Association was formed at Banif to further the interests of this particular kimf of sport in the West. R. J. Verne of the Honyburn Pacific Ski Club was elected president. and a Vancou- ver man, G. Billingsley, secre- tary-treasurer. Stage Door Johnaie: "Pretty little girl I was out with last night." Mr. Ditto: "Yeah, she was pretty little." (Continued from Page One.) if we have to go outside these localities, a similar experience awaits us. The fact that our homes are, generally speaking, scattered. and that few streets are built up, is an additional reason for having all our houses numbered. In very few places is it possible to calculate from the number on one home, even if it bears a number, the exact location of the particular house we may be seeking. It is a matter for wonder, consirlering the great progress made by IVest Vancouver in so many ways, that we have allowed such a condition of agairs to exist so long, particularly when it can be rectified by the individual expenditure of a few cents. It is to be hoped that each of our residents will take imme- diate steps to have this numbering done. There are a variety of signs to choose from, and they can be obtained from any hardware dealer at a small expenditure. Let each and all of us have our houses numbered now, and so do away with a condition which may be alright in a small country town, but which is certainly entirely out of place in the best resi- dential section of Greater Vancouver. The question of this house numbering was a matter for discussion at the council meeting of the Board of Trade on Wednesday, and it is expected that it will be brought up for further consideration at the general meeting to be hekl next Alonday night.
