2 THE WEST VAN NEWS August 19, 1927. DUNDARAVE REGATTA GREAT SUCCESS Aquatic Events Keenly Contested at Annual Regatta. West Vancouver's eleventh an­ nual gala took place Saturday when a record crowd thronged every vantage point and despite the fact that considerably in­ creased seating accommodation had been provided by use of a large scow, numbers could only secure standing room. For the first time all compet­ itors were West Vancouver resi­ dents and the swimming and diving events were of the high­ est calibre. The log-rolling contest furn­ ished many thrills and was keen­ ly contested. Sergeant Parsons and Constable Duggan and mem­ bers of the Royal Life Saving Society (the latter in the role of clowns) gave exhibitions of life saving, both serious and humor­ ous. Visiting officials included Messrs. E. E. Hand. Aid. E. W. Dean and F. Burrows, as referee and judges, respectively, who SCHOOLS with an efficient committee, ran the program off without delay. Reeve V. V. Vinson opened the gala and Mrs. V. V. Vinson pre­ sented the prizes. Results 50 yards swim, boys under 1 1 --Val Austin, Gordon Ashe.

Ise robbed henroosts, nn' stole hawgs, an' tole lies, an' got drunk, an' slashed folks with mah razor, an' shot craps, an' cussed an' swore; but I thank the Lord dey's one thing I ain't nebber done: I ain't ebber lost mah religion."--American Odd Fellow. "When I was a little boy," Lieuten­ ant Bruce addressed his men, "I had a set of wooden soldiers. One day I lost those soldiers and cried very much. But my mother said, 'Never mind, Tom. some day you will get your wooden soldiers back.' And be­ lieve me, you wooden-headed dumb­ bells, that day has come!"--Pathfind­ er. Needed Spiritual Aid "Rastus," said the Negro minister, "dis am de fust time I ever saw yoh in church. I'm mighty glad to have yoh come heah." "Pahson," answered the Negro, "Ah kinda hadda come. Ah needed strengthenin', 'cos Ah gotto job white- washin' a chicken coop an' buildin' a fence 'round a watermelon patch." --Western Canada Odd Fellow. Cautious Sanitarian Tommy, who had no great love for soap and water, was observed by his mother washing the fore linger of his right hand. "What's the idea of wash­ ing only one finger?" she inquired. "The boy next door has asked me to come over and feel his baby sister's new tooth," explained Tommy.--Bost­ on Transcript. Dad's Advice My dad used to say, in a fatherly way, "It's fine to have friends and to use them, But remember, my lad, if you ever get mad, Whatever you do, don't abuse them" " 'Tis nature," said he, "we can't all agree, And we're often too keen in con­ tending That we're correct, and we lack the respect That we all should be free in ex­ tending. "Opinions are mixed, so don't become fixed On one and continue to ride it In argument, too, don't hold to the view That you are the one to decide it. "In this or in that, you should never stand pat, For the world and its people nre changing. Perhaps all you say was true yester­ day. But tomorrow muy need rearranging "You should never delight in claiming you're right, When by all your friends you're forsaken; When it's over and past, you may find out at last, It was you who was really mistaken. 'Twas a pretty good slice of whole­ some advice, And I've often times found there's much to it; I would profit, no doubt, if I'd follow it out, But the fact is, I don't always do it. --Frank Carleton Nelson.
