THE WEST VAN NEWS BRYAN EXPLAINS WHY KING WAS DISSIISSED; CLAIMS ACTION JUSTIFIED The dismissal of Game War- den and Provincial Constable King of North Vancouver was the subject of a vigorous speech in the Legislature on Tuesday afternoon by J. M. Bryan, Lib- eral member for North Vancou- ver, during which he condemned the attitude of the leader of the opposition toward the dismissal of the officer, saying that the leader of the opposition had not investigated the cause of the dis- missal before he made the charge that the constable was taking action against too many Liber- als. Says Details Sordid "I asked the leader of the op- position if he had made any in- vestigation, but his reply was in the negative," said Mr. Bryan. "I have the record of this man, not only as regards the South African war, but since he came to America, and the details are too sordid to read to the House. But I have the record here, for any member who would like to see it. He was appointed game warden under the provincial po- lice in 1922 for North Vancou- ver." Mr. Bryan proceeded to make a series of charges against King's character, and said that his dismissal had been requested by a petition following an indig- nation meeting. The man's army record was also reviewed by Mr. Bryan. Sechelt Appointment "It is an insult to the gallant members of this House," contin- ued Mr. Bryan, "to call this man a veteran of the Great War." "The reference by the third member for Victoria (H. D. Twigg) to T. D. Sutherland, game warden at Sechelt, is typ- ical of the attacks by the oppo- sition. T. D. Sutherland won a D.S.O. and two bars, a M.C. and bar, and was colonel at 26--the youngest colonel in the Great War. The third member for Vic- toria does not make straightout attacks; he makes insinuations that are worse. Colonel Suther- land is the type of man he would hold up to t'e attornty-general to make an investigation on, and his leader espouses the cause of a man of the type of King." 5 Whimsical Review ~c Won t you let me get you a glass of water, Mr. Snooker?" Mr. Snooker: "It's very atten- tive of you, Jacky, but why do you want me to have a glass?" "Because I heard father say you drank like a fish, and I want, P. . tu see." "Now, my son, tell me why I punished you." ~~ FA.CTS Worth Knowing Boy (indignantly): "Oh, gee!r I First you pound the devil out of ,'p".P" me, and now you don't know what you did it for." a oI An engineer, while explaining IBlwaatlaaaaBKaaaaKIwaawaxwaaa waaama Coffee stains can: be removed by rubbing in pure glycerine; leave for half an hour, then wash.

The reputed dangers of pros- perity bother the ma)omty of us just about as much as the dan- ger of being bitten by a lion if we ever got lost in an African jungle. It takes a great man to for- mulate a theory into which the universe will fit neatly; it takes a greater man to look upon su- blime chaos and accept it. They say a man loves a wo- man for her virtues, and that a woman loves a man for his faults. Each despises the quali- ties the other loves.
