Overington who operates the barber shop at Marine and 14th Street has just passed the seventh anniversary of his busi­ ness in West Vancouver. Mr. Overington is one of the few business men who have seen the evolution of West Vancouver from a district of summer homes to one of the most promising and attractive residential districts in Greater Vancouver. When a man sings in his bath it shows that he is happy -- or else that the door won't lock.

TWO WEEKS FOR A LETTER FROM VICTORIA Mrs. Grigor of the Dry Goods store. 1462 Marine Drive, has just received a letter mailed from Victoria over two weeks ago. The envelope was address­ ed "Mrs. J. Grigor, 1462 Marine Drive, Vancouver, West" and had been sent to most every dis­ trict in Vancouver before being finally delivered to Mrs. Grigor's old Vancouver address. The en­ velop was certainly addressed wrongly. It should have been "West Vancouver" instead of "Vancouver West." The Postal Directory does not carry the name "West Vancou­ ver," but only the names Holly- burn, Dundarave, Sherman, Caulfeild and Whytecliff. Hence a certain amount of publicity is lost to us through this condition, as well as mail going astray. CANADIAN CLUB Owing to a change of itinerary Sir Herbert Ames will address the North Shore Canadian Club on Wednesday, December 7th, in­ stead of on November 9th, as originally arranged. The speak­ er next Wednesday, November 9th, will be Mr. B. A. McKelvie, an out-standing authority on Canadian History, and especially on the Province of British Col­ umbia. Mr. McKelvie is Chief Histori­ an of the Native Sons of British Columbia, and past Grand Sec­ retary of that organization. He is a journalist of known repute, having written books and novels on the history of British Colum­ bia, his latest publication being in the form of a book for boys on this subject. Mr. McKelvie has taken a keen interest in the development and history of this Province, and his opinion is much sought after by members of the House and edu­ cational authorities. The address to be given by Mr. McKelvie is "British Col­ umbia and Confederation' 'this subject being considered as most appropriate this year when Can­ ada is celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation, but especially this month when a meeting of the Provincial Premi­ ers is being held at Ottawa with a view to discussing with the Dominion Government various rights of the respective provinc­ es. Mr. McKelvie will deal with the history and development of British Columbia, the terms on which she entered Confederation and other rights which she now claims under the British North America Act, and subsequent legislation. R. S. Glover, teller of the Royal Bank here, is spending his an­ nual vacation at his home at Union Bay, Vancouver Island. Mr. Glover will be away for three weeks. / insurance 's FINANCIAL \ a n d e s t a t e J .

The coun­ cil replied that before making the necessary arrangements they would be pleased to hear what subjects would come up for dis­ cussion.

WHIST DRIVE WAS BIG SUCCESS The military whist drive in the Ambleside Hall last Tuesday under the auspices of the West Vancouver Horticultural Associ­ ation was an unqualified success, approximately a hundred people being present to enjoy the games.

The prize winners were: 1st Mr. and Mrs. Elgar and Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald; 2nd, Mr. and Mrs. Burley and Mr. and Mrs. Routledge. Consolation, Mr. and Mrs. C. Roberts and Mr. and Mrs. Peach. The hidden prizes were a fruit cake donated by Mrs. W. W. Ad­ air and won by J. J. Dutton; and a fern donated by James Forbes, Florist, Vancouver, and won by Mrs. E. Rhodes. Mrs. E. A. Young loaned the flags and other varied paraphe- nalia required by military whist. Refreshments were served at the close of play and the ladies who had arranged the commis­ sary were congratulated upon the choice and tasty eatables. SAGAR'S NEW STORE NOW ARRANGED The new store built and occu­ pied by Wm. Sagar the West Van Jeweller, has now been ar­ ranged and fitted up to the sat­ isfaction of the proprietor who is now ready to attend to the needs of the public. The stock has been increased to include most everything usually found in an up-to-date jewellery store- Christmas, Birthday and other special gifts will be found here in great variety and our resid­ ents would be well advised to try this store for their gifts. The prices will be found very reasonable and more often than not away cheaper than for simil­ ar lines in the city. Watch and clock repairing is a specialty of Mr. Sagar. His family has for several genera­ tions been engaged in this work and this is one branch of work where experience means so much. Service with a smile is the motto of this store, and it is ser­ vice that appreciates and is worthy of patronage. Buy in West Vancouver anil help West Van. grow.
