MARJORIE MURRAY, Press Correspondent. Lady: How far is it to the Hilltop bungalows? Boy: About three miles. Lady: But their letter says it's only a two-minutes' walk from the station!

HUTT, Landscape Architect C r a d u a te in L a n d s c a p in g U . o f C . A m e r ic a n S c h o o l o f L a n d s c a p e A r c h i t e c t u r e a n d G a r d e n in g .

It af­ fects not only our health but our happiness as well. If a next door neighbor is careless and slovenly about his house and garden, only too often it affects the whole neighborhood adverse­ ly and soon the lazy careless way is accepted as good enough. On the other hand if he takes pride in his place it tends to make the slacker uncomfortable and he will decide to clean up around his own place. We are creatures of habit, and it is a fact that we acquire good habits as easily as bad ones. Such being the case we should acquire the habit of keeping our homes and gardens looking their best. It is just as important that we take the same pride in the village, town or city in which we live so that visitors and pros­ pective citizens will be favorably impressed and have a desire to live in such a pleasant well-cared for place, and more important still it will be a much happier, healthier place for those already living there. The last few years have been remarkable for the extensive and rapid growth of the cities and towns in this country and it is safe to say that West Vancou­ ver has been, still is, and will continue to be well up in the front ranks for rapidity of growth. The fields of yesterday are covered with homes today. There can be no doubt that the present time is a very im­ portant one in the development of West Vancouver. We must all take an active part towards securing a well planned scheme of development, else we are go­ ing to see a great deal of the natural beauty of the place spoiled. Our streets in the more settled part of the municipality are laid out on the rectangular plan. While this plan has many ad­ vantages it is not by any means the best method of making use of the natural beauty and ad­ vantages with which we are blessed. We should retain and develop the natural beauty of the place as much as possible by boulevards, parks and beaches, etc. Land here, comparatively speaking, is cheap and while it is still that way we should re­ tain or secure ample of it for parks so that as we expand and build up, our children will have a place for recreation safe from harm. A park primarily is a place where we may go for rest and enjoyment, where mind and body are refreshed by beautiful nat­ ural scenery. Only natural beau­ ty can bring that relief and re­ pose to city wearied senses. The value of a park therefore, is greater or less, according to how well we preserve or develop the IS YOUR NAME ON THE VOTERS LIST? Voters' Lists for 1928 are now in course of preparation. If you are entitled to vote, you should see that your name is included. Special attention is drawn to the fact that none but registered deed holders and registered agreement-for-sale holders are placed on the list. Where agree­ ment is registered, a deed holder cannot vote on the same proper­ ty. Agreements or deeds must be registered at the Land Regis­ try Office, Vancouver, B. C., on or before 30th November, on which date the lists close. natural beauty of it. Natural beauty is essential in a park, in fact its whole value in enabling us to resist the weary­ ing influences of city life and recover our mental energy lies in its natural beauty. We have the natural beauty now, a few years from now we will not have it unless we take definite steps towards preserv­ ing it.

LIMITED MAIN OFFICE PHONE NORTH 306 Pemberton and Waterfront Residence Phone: West 316 We recommend re-roofing over the old shingle^ for the following advantages: (1) Saving expense and labor of removal of the old shingles. (2) Obviating the litter caused by their removal. (3) House is fully protected in case of sudden inclement weather. (4) Increased insulation against heat and cold, due not alone to the double layer of shingles but also to the air spaces between them. (5) Gain in economy in home heating and double protec­ tion against chance of leakage, even though the old roof may be badly in need of repairs. We will quote you on the finished job.
