August 5, 1927. THE WEST VAN NEWS P E R S O N A L S Mrs. J. A. Vernon and family, 23rd and Haywood, are spending the month of August in Gran­ tham's Landing. * * * Mr. and Mrs. W. McQuaker, 12th and Marine, left yesterday for a two week's visit to points in the northern part of Van- -■* couver Island. Cameron Lake and Campbell River are two points to be specially visited by these holiday makers. Mr. and Mrs. McQuaker are carrying on their car camping equipment, and it is their intention to use this at convenient times. • * * Mr. and Mrs. S. Olsen and daughter, of Brittania Beach, are spending a month in West Vancouver. Mr. Olsen is build­ ing a log house at Inglewood and Sixth street and expects to spend much time here in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Olsen have been regular visitors to West Vancou­ ver for some years. * • * Mrs. A. L. Reid who has been residing at 24th and Bellevue, has taken a suite at Appleton Court. * * * The Disabled Veterans' Asso­ ciation have been granted per­ mission by the council to tag on Saturday, August 27, in West Vancouver only, as ferry pas­ sengers will have the opportun­ ity of buying tags in the city on the same day, if they wish to do so. * * * R. P. Clark & Co., Ltd., have 4 advised the council of their in- _fention to apply o ■ behalf of F. Scott, to the Indian Agent, for a location of tourist pony stables on the Reserve north of Marine Drive commencing at the north and south line, 500 feet west of the Indian cemetery, taking in the triangle to east of said line. Permission to make such an application was given earlier in the year by the council, sub­ ject to the approval of the resi­ dents. As Mr. Gamage has with­ drawn his objection, R. P. Clark & Co. now wish for the council's approval before making the ap­ plication. The council have writ­ ten R. P. Clark & Co., thanking them for their letter, and at the same time have requested the Indian Agent that the stables, if granted, be placed far enough back from the Marine Drive, so that no one could object. LIONEL CHARLTON SAVES BOY FROM DROWNING Lionel Charlton was recently instrumental in saving Kent Mc­ Cullough from drowning off East Beach. Kent, who cannot swim, got out of his depth while bathing and sank in the deep water. Lionel, who happened to be on the beach, at once plunged in and brought the drowning boy to shore. It was an heroic act in view of the fact that Lion­ el, who is 13 years old, was only three years older than the boy he rescued. Lionel is one of the delivery boys of THE NEWS. J. Duckworth, water foreman, has had his salary raised $5 per month by the council, to date from the 1st instant. * * * The municipal solicitor has been instructed by the council to take immediately the neces­ sary steps against the applica­ tion of Janita Drake Connell's application for a license to take and use 1,000 gallons daily from Pipe Creek for domestic and ir­ rigation purposes. * * * Dr. J.

Turnbull of the West Vancouver Lumber Co. has do­ nated a new diving board for the use of swimmers at Hollyburn Pier, the old one having been broken. This gift of Mr. Turn- bull has given much pleasure to the people frequenting this beach and we are asked to ex­ press their thanks to Mr. Turn- bull for his kindness. Mrs. J. J.
