P E R S O N A L S The West Vancouver Cadet Corps is now on a firm footing and drill is held regularly every Monday and Friday. One hund­ red and fifty boys have joined the corps, including boys from the Inglewood, Hollybum and Pauline Johnson schools. This represents about ninety-five per cent of the boys over twelve years of age, which is a very large percentage, as the cadets corps is made up entirely of vol­ unteers. The boys are indeed lucky to have such a fine gym­ nasium in which, to drill during the winter. The work now being taken up consists chiefly of physical drill and organized games in which every one takes part. It is hoped to start a sig­ nalling corps as soon as enough flags are secured for those boys wishing to take up this branch of the work. A miniature rifle range will be established within a week or two where the senior cadets, w'ho so desire, will be taught to use and respeet a rifle. As the cadet work is new to practically all the boys in West Vancouver it is taking a little time getting all branches of the work organized, but it is hoped that by the beginning of the new year everything will be in full swing. NEW DEVICE FOR FANCY WORK DESIGNS The Designoscope is a new and simple instrument that makes up special designs for fancy work, etc. This instrument is being demonstrated by Mrs. Grigor at her dry goods store, 1462 Marine Drive. It is a re­ markably simple little instru­ ment, and is well worth seeing by all the ladies of the district. There was very little travel in West Vancouver over the week­ end due to the very heavy rain ami gusty wind. While consider­ able damage was done to fishing boats oft the West Coast of Van­ couver Island and the island wire services were disrupted in places, no damage was apparent­ ly done here. * * • Mr. Konning has taken the Dean cottage at 25th and Water­ front for the winter.* • • Mrs. S. Severt, who is staying with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Webb. 25th and Marine Drive, has rented the store at Dundar- ave at present occupied by Mrs. Cunningham as a beauty parlor. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Gorges of Caulfeild, are spending a few days in Vancouver, the guests of Mrs. McKenzie. * * * Mr. Ellis has returned from the prairies,and has taken a cottage at 24th and Mathers for the win­ ter. * * * E. A. McBain of Edmonton is visiting his mother, Mrs. P. A. McBain, 29th and Waterfront. * * * During the last two or three years several hundred children have been badly maimed in vari­ ous parts of the country through playing with detonators, which had been left lying round on the ground unexploded. In order to enable children to recognise these dangerous instruments and so avoid serious accident, a cir­ cular has been placed on the bulletin board of the Pauline Johnson school which contains, colored cuts of both the ordinary and electrically wired varieties, with a full printed description of each. * * * Mr. and Mrs. J. Gawthorn and family, 22nd and Marine Drive, have moved to Vancouver, where they will in future reside. * * * Mr. and Mrs. H. Murray and family and Charles Murray have rented the Hastings house at 24th and Bellevue. * * * Miss Catherine Harrison of Caulfeild, is leaving shortly for New York, where she will visit relatives. * * * . A little owl was found on Tuesday afternoon perched on a car in the garage of the Fergu­ son Motor Transfer Co. at the back of their office in Dundar- ave. The bird, who was evident­ ly sick, was placed in a box and offered food, but died later on in the afternoon. While there are plenty of owls to be found on the higher levels and wooded slopes cf Hollybum Ridge, they are seldom seen along the Marine Drive or the Waterfront. * * * R. S. Glover, teller of the Royal Bank here, returned here on Monday night and has again tak­ en up his duties after a three weeks' Holiday spent at his home in Union Bay. * * * Mrs. C. McBride, 17th and Clyde, is having the interior of her house finished and decor­ ated. * * * J. Gawthorn, 22nd and Marine Drive, has returned home after an extended trip to the prairies. • * * R. Fulton, 17th and Duchess, has moved back to Vancouver, where he will in future reside. * * * Mrs. Peter Steven, 23rd and Haywood, has taken a suite in the new Hay block at 14th and Marine Drive, for the winter. Mrs. P. C. Docker, of Caulfeild, is leaving to join her husband In the Prince Charlotte Islands, where they will in future make their home. • • • F. Pnscunl, 14th and Esqui­ mau, was the victim of an un­ fortunate accident on Saturday, when he suffered a dislocated right shoulder ns the result of being knocked to the pavement by a bicycle at the corner of Robson and Granville Streets. He had the shoulder put in place immediately by a doctor, but it is still very sore, and he is un­ able to use his right arm. * • * H. Murray, 24th and Palmer­ ston, who is sick in the North Vancouver General Hospital, is improving slowly. * * * Colonel Goodwin and Adjutant Saunders were guests on Monday of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Stratton, Marine Drive at Ambleside. Ad­ jutant Saunders is on the Head­ quarters' staff of the Salvation Army in Vancouver, while Col­ onel Goodwin has retired after 35 years' service with the Salva­ tion Army in Toronto and Win­ nipeg, and is living in the city. * * * The Canadian Legion, West Vancouver branch, is giving a smoker on Thursday, 8th Decem­ ber, at Dundarave Hall. A good programme has been arranged, and a hearty invitation is ex­ tended to all ex-service men and their friends to be present. * * * Fred Eatock of Chilliwack, has bought Mr. King's house at 11th and Duchess and expects to move in with his family over the week­ end. * * * Two signs, on which is printed in large letters "Slow, Children's Playground," have been erected on Marine Drive, a short dist­ ance east and west of Memorial Park. These were badly needed, and should help materially in slowing down traffic at this point, especially in the summer time.

Mrs. Laura Ed­ wards, president of the local branch, was the convener, and was ably assisted by the ladies of the Association. The success of the dance both financially and socially was due in great meas­ ure to the co-operation of effort. The hall was comfortably crowd­ ed with dancers and the spirit of good feeling and sociability was quite pronounced. The cos­ tumes were of a greatly varied character, and Councillor Ray, who with Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Kidd, acted as judges, had great difficulty in making the awards, the prizes ultimately being a- warded as follows: First ladies' original: Mrs. Jack Paterson, who represented West Vancouver. The original­ ity and idea of her costume and its representation received the unanimous approval of those present.. Mr. Ferguson as an Irishman, wore a very complete national costume, taking first prize for gentlemen's original. The prizes for comics were awarded to Frank Ellis, whose costume is somewhat difficult to describe, but those who have witnessed the efforts of Frank on previous occasions will realize he played his part well. Mrs. Hibbard was awarded the prize for the ladies' comic. During the evening refresh­ ments were served. People speak very nicety about the g re a t ca re we tak e of every a rtic le sen t to us.

He had been in indifferent health for some time, but three days ago his condition necessitated his removal to the hospital. His wife survives him.
