N ta ds sc per c,py HQLLYBURN P.Q., ~VEST VANCOUVER, B.C., FRIDAY, A VRIL 5th, 1928 No. 1 FREE EXHIBITION TONIGHT AT INGI.EiVOOD SCHOOL TROT OUT YOUR REEVES AND ilIAYORS --l INSON IS REAI CHAill'ION Easter and Spring There is a free exhibition open to the public of AVest Vancouver tonight in the Inglewood School. It is open from 7.30 to 9.30 p. m. The occasion is the annual dis- play of the work of the night school students. It will he well worth seeing, and the examples of craftman- ship will, we can safely say, sur- prise the parents. You should make n point of seeing this exhibition and learn just what these night school classes are accomplishing. iblayor Taylor and i~layor ~lorden had a "billiard" argument last Ilonday night in North Vancouver and it is rumored that the stake was a silk hat against a brand new red tie. hlord- en won hence it can reason- ably be expected that the populace will see a ne» bright and shiny topper on t he next state occasion graced by His worship of North Vancouver. IVe, in IVest Vancouver have to laugh about this illayoral billiard champion- ship though, as we know that Reeve l'nson is the only genuine Simon pure billiard champion Reeve in 0'estern Canada. IVhy it is not many moons since V.V. got a REAL championship at the goo4 old game of English Billiards, and at the Great IVar Veterans'ooms in cnorth Vancouver at that. Honest injun he did win a biomrd tourna- ment there and we are quite willing to bet the Elks'ooththat he can make a sorry exhibition of either or both Morden ond Taylor. Brilliant Speaker to Address B. of T. 4Ue shall look forward with a good deal of interest to the ad- dress which is to be given by Mr. John Craig Oliver, B.A. Sc., at the Board of Trade on Mon- day evening, 16th inst. His sub- ject, "Increasing the Capacity of City Streets," is one about which we all feel strongly, whether we walk or drive. Even apart from the subject, however, the ad- dress is sure to be worth hear- ing, for Mr. Oliver is a clear and convincing speaker. His power of technical exposition, which is quite unusual, will have full scope in the subject he has chosen. The address will be il- lustrated by forty lantern slides. Next TuesdayEvidence of the thoroughness with wh'ich officials of the Lib- eral and Conservative parties have been carrying on their cam- paign to bring the voters'ist up to date for the impending prov- incial election was given EVednes- day when one bundle containing no fewer that 4,000 notices of changes of address within the city constituency were filed with the registrar of voters. It is estimated by the party workers that fully 10,000 new applications will be filed before 1 p. m. Saturday, the hour at which time for registration ex- pires. It is also learned that there will be many objections filed for consideration of the court of re- vision in May. There has been a marked ex- odus from the city to the sub- urbs in recent years and many people now resident in suburban electoral districts will be requir- ed to transfer their votes from their old city registration to the districts where they now reside. The number of such objections has not yet been revealed by the party officials, but it would oc- casion no sunrise if there were several thousands of them.

BROKEN BARS He broke the bars, the risen Lord, The bars of death and sin; He bore our guilt upon the Cross, That we might pardon win; Oh, wing our praise beyond the stars, He broke the bars! He broke the bars.

A Warning to StorekeepersHe broke the bars, the risen Lord, IVhen all our faith was dim; He loosed the fetters of our souls, And brought us home to Him; Oh, wing our praise beyond the stars, He broke the bars! He broke the bars. Chief Constable A. Grundy has issued a warning to all store- keepers to closely examine any United States bills of higher val- ue than $ 1. T»o local business men were victimized recently by changing $ 1 bills that had been raised to $20. The work was crude, the 20 cent figures of rev- enue stamps being cut out and pasted over the $ 1 at each end of the bill, after the vord "cents" had been cut away. He broke the bars, the risen Lord, The bars that were between His mighty love, and our poor love, Such love was never seen; For on His hands and feet are scars, He broke the bars! He broke the bars.

One cannot disassociate Easter and Spring. no matter how early or late the religious festival may come, nor how unsea- sonable the weather attending it's advent. Easter is Spring and life is reborn. The dead days are past and the requiem of winter is forgotten as the birds sing the resurrection of nature. The poet sighs, the sun smiles, perhaps, and the woman with a new Spring hat looks anxiously at the meteor- ological emanations from the shrine of Olympus, which the unpootic flippantly call the weather»orks. Enveloping and hallowing it all is the atmosphere that sends the soul journey- ing beside still waters, through peaceful val]eys, soft grasses and awakening buds and soothing it with imaginary scents of fio»ers awaiting only warmth to spread their sweetness on a ne»ly aroused world. Besides its religious meaning, that is the spirit and sig- nificance of Easter, and it is older even than the Christian religion. The display of colors and raiment in unison with the earth, throwing off its old garments is as ancient as the race. Man always has wanted to sing as soon as the birds did and he has done so. Even the Bible has its poetic allusions to Spring, and the vernal festivals of ancient days were a public expression of the song that was in the hearts of the people as a whole. AVe do not have anything we do not inherit, so it is not strange that a woman wants a pretty hat at Easter time. As a matter of fact it would be strange if she did not. And it is not to be expected that poets will quit caroling about Spring as long as nature sends winters that inspire poets to say, "0 wind, if AVinter comes, can Spring be far behind." 4000 CHANGE ADDRESS o~, oTERs. „,sT Ratepayers'eeting
