BOARD OF TRADE DISCUSS COMMUNITY HALL AND HOUSE NUMBERING The monthly meeting of the Board of Trade was held last Monday, the president, Colonel Savory, in the chair. The mem- bers of the varfous committees were named by ithe chairman and plans were made which promise a very active year for the Board. Community Hall Various matters were brought up for discussion, amongst these being the proposal to establish a community hall. Chairman Rerrie reported on this matter, and his recommendations were adopted by the meeting. A let- ter is to be sent to the different organizations in West Vancou- ver to ascertain if they would care to have one of their repre- sentatives attend a "get togeth- er" meeting to discuss the possi- bilities of and the desires for a community hall. Publicity A letter was received from the North Vancouver Board of Trade asking that a committee from the West Vancouver Board join with them and the Lynn Valley Board of Trade in meeting the three North Shore councils with a view to obtaining money grants towards establishing in Vancouver a North Shore pub- licity bureau. It was the feel- ing of the meeting that publicity for West Vancouver could best be obtained by keeping the con- trol and direction entirely in the hands of West Vancouver peo- ple and, as we could not, through our municipal industrial restric- tions, expect any benefit from the industrial advertising of North Vancouver city and dis- trict, it would be better, if such publicity was desirable, to direct and organize it from our own district. Numbering Houses The numbering of houses was also the subject of a report by the public improvements com- mittee, and after much discus- sion it was decided to approach the council relative to this and endeavor to make some arrange- ment to hasten the time when all houses are numbered, and so help in bringing house to house mail delivery in West Vancou- ver. Entertainment The suggestion was made that a social evering for members of the Board and their friends be held, and the recommendation made that the entertainment committee consider this sugges- tion and if possible arrange for such an evening.

CONSERVATIVE ANNUAL MEETING ADJOURNED TILL NEXT FRIDAY The West Vancouver Conser- vative Association held their an- nual meeting yesterday at 8 p.m. in Amblesifde Hall. C. M. O'Brian, vice-president of the Central Conservative Associa- tion in Vancouver, was the spe- cial speaker, and he gave a most interesting address. He dealt with the political history of Brit- ish Columbia, discussed at con- siderable length the present fi- nancial condition of the province and reviewed some of the pro- posed Conservative policies. On account of the lateness of the hour it was decided to adjourn the meeting until next Friday, 2nd March, at 8 p.m., in the ferry ofFice, when the election of ofyicers and other business will take place. Evei~ member is particularly requested to at- tend. cAsH AND cARRY aIEAT STORE TO OPEN Next Friday, March 2nd, a cash and carry meat market will be opened in the store in the Ross Block, Marine drive, Am- bleside, formerly occupied by the Le Sage Drug Store. This business will, we understand, be conducted on a strictly cash and carry basis. THE RETORT COURTEOUS During the war a certain man directed a clockmaker to call for a grandfather clock which was in need of repair, but the clock- maker was so busy that he was never able to come, so at last, in desperation, the grandfather clock's owner unhooked its pen- dulum and, heaving up the clock on his shoulder, started off for the shop. At the first corner he collided violently with a lady and sent her flying. She gave him a with- ering look, but all she said was, "I wish you would wear a wrist watch." NORTH SHORE MEMBER ADDRESSES HOUSE ON ABSENTEE VOTE Last Tuesday afternoon J. M. Bryan, member for North Van- couver, reviewed the subject of absentee votes in the Legisla- ture. He said that no riding was more afl'ected by absentee vot- ing than North Vancouver, ow- ing to the large proportion of its residents who. worked in Van- couver. North Vancouver was different, in that regard, to any other riding. The whole of the five candidates were in their places not more than a few feet from the absentee ballots when they were opened. Previously, they and the whole community were entirely satisfied with the returning officer, who had held responsible public positions and was held in high esteem in the social world. There was no bai- lot opened that the five candi- dates did not scrutinize. The candidates came forward and congratulated him (the speaker) and said they were perfectly sat- isfied. In Other Ridmgs "A few days later," said Mr. Bryan, "word came from Van- couver that something was wrong in North Vancouver, con- nected with the absentee polls. In the Salmon AITn riding there were 260 absentee votes, and the member for that riding got 103 of them and was returned with a majority of 96. On 114 votes in The Islands, that member got 28, and won the seat by a ma- jority of two votes. If, as al- leged by our opponents, the Lib- eral party is run by a machine, is it not possible that a machine could have secured two more votes? Dewdney was ivon by 13. If there was such a machine could they not have found more ballots?" After reviewing the history of the subsequent events, till the matter came to court, Mr. Bryan quoted the judge as saying that, if evidence of fraud were brought, he would hear argu- ment. "The matter has been before the court for four years. I wel- comed the fullest iiivestigation, but nothing was done." Henry's Handicap "Poor old Henry!" said one workman to another. "He's so shortsighted he's working him- self to death!" mIVhat has his short sight got to &lo with it?" nbVhy, he can't see when the boss ain't looking, so he has to keep on shmeling all the time."
