The stone went right through the glass and those sitting inside had a nar- row escape from injury by the flying glass. The car engine was in such condition that the Ferry bus could not be overtaken or the boy would have been given over to the police. Such foolish and dangerous actions are liable to cause the perpetrators to appear in Police Court and the youth of the Dis- trict should take warning. Mrs. A. iY.

'LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY' British Film Founded on the Elgar Song. "Flashes" of the history of some of the great men who have helped to build the Empire are a feature of "Land of Hope and Glory," the Harley-Knoles Films which comes to the Hollyburn Theatre next Monday and Tues- day. They include a close reproduc- tion of the famous painting of "The Death of Nelson," a study of the last phase of the Scott Antarctic Expedition, the plant- ing of the British Flag on the Australian Shore by Captain Cook, and a glimpse of General wolfe's death in victory at the siege of Quebec. For the Antarctic scenes Mr. Knowles was fortunate enough to secure from Messrs. Burberry who equipped the expedition, the tent actually used by Scott in the Antarctic and a suit worn throughout by one of the surviv- ors. For all these scenes ex- treme pains were taken to secure historical accuracy, just as, in the story proper, an old English forge and cottage were erected in the grounds of the AVorton Hall studios at Isleworth because no original of quite the type de- sired could be found. The beautiful lawn at AVorton Hall was also used as the setting for the unveiling of a village AUar Memorial, an interesting feature of which is the appear- ance of a number of disabled ex- service men from the "Star and Garter" home at Richmond, who were very proud of the fact that they travelled to the studio in their invalid chairs each day "under their own power," each chair being fitted with an aux- iliary motor. In the film the ex-soldiers rep- resent the survivors of the vil- lage contribution to the forces, and their presence adds a strik- ing touch of realism to a scene of a type too rarely attempted in the post war British film. "Land of Hope and Glory" gives Ellaline Terris her first big film part as the mother of a family of strapping sons who seek their fortunes in the Over- seas Dominions. Lyn Harding is the screen father and the cast includes Robin Irvine (rapidly making his way to screen star- dom), Enid Stamp-Taylor, the most widely discussed British screen debutante for years past. the experienced Ruby Miller and Arthur Pussey, and that fine character actor, Henry Vibart. Correspondence The Editor, West Van. News, Dear Sir, Having recently had the mis- fortune to have to drive over the road to WhyteclifI'n several oc- casions I liave beer& wondering when our council are going to do aiiything to put the road into shape. It seems to be a considerable time since the By-Law for the road was passed and up to date there is no apparent action or any sign of immediate actioii. The people who have to use the road daily must have the patience of Job to have been quiet so long. In many places by no stretch of the imagiiiation can the Marine Drive between West Bay and Whytecliff be call- ed a road. As a good course for an auto obstacle race it is highly to be commended but no one who had not to do so would dream of driving over it a second time in its present deplorable condition. One hears of the very large numbers of cars crossing the Second Narrows Bridge but they do not come to )Vest Vancouver. Why& AVe had a full explanation of the kind of road that was neces- sary, the money was voted, tend- ers were called for and--nothing apparently happens. Why can riot a start be made cn this work? Letting it stand as at present is only driving a- way visitors to the Dristrict. K. W. SAVORY. iVEST BAY BEACH hlUCH Ii&IPROVED The Red lllill Now Open. )Vest Bay Beach has been a particularly popular resort this summer. Mr. Lewis, the ener- getic and enterprising proprietor of the "Red Mill" Tea Rooms, has been instrumental in having many improvements made and that the public appreciate his ef- forts is shown by the popularity the place is attaining. The coun- cil made a wise move in assisting the people's pleasure by having the debris and rocks cleared a- way a few xveeks ago and the pity is that the council cannot be prevailed upnn to have all the beaches made accessible. The value of these improvements can only be realised when one sees the effect produced at West Bay where, at a comparatively neglig- ible cost, citizens and visitors have been provided with easy and comfortable bathing faciliti- es. Mr. Lewis has remodelled the building at the Beach, and has made the grounds specially at- tractive. Tables have been built at different places along the Beach for picnic parties and an ornamental mill has been con- structed. This will be painted Red, and will be a standing re- minder of the name of the hotel --The Red Mill. Dressing rooms are now avail- able to visitors. You should pay a visit to West Bay Beach and to The Red Mill. You will find the host and hostess very genial people. Dear Sir, V It seems that there is some very mean thief around AVest Vancouver these times. Last night 6 geraniums were stolen from my boulevard. If it had not been for the kindness of a neighbor, I doubt if I could have found any at the nurseries to take their place. Their places would have had to remain empty thus spoiling the whole scheme. As no trace of the thief can be found nothing can be done. This is the second time this year, the last time it was child- ren but they were caught red handed and I let them off with a warning. MARY C. McDANIEL. Among those who won prizes at the L.O.L. 12th July Sports at Brockton Point were Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Britton and Doris Rivers. Jimmy Ferguson won the GAS FOR IVEST VAN. The people of West Vancouver have often been heard to bemoan the fact that there was no gas supply here for home cooking purposes. Hence it will be a matter of interest to learn that an agency for Rockgas has been stration oft'ice at 1451 Marine Drive. This gas is claimed to be as economical to use as is any other manufactured kind, and can be used for cooking, heating and lighting purposes. The pub- lic is invited to visit the demon- stration ffice at 1451 Marine Drive. F. McKe of the Vancouver. store of the Lesage Drug Co., is relieving George Reid here dur- ing the latter's absence on holi- days. NEAR DR()TUNING FATALITY AT DUNDARAVE A girl visitor, who was swim- Ining off Du»darave Pier on Sun- day afternoon, got into difficulti- es and called for help. Gordon Vance, 25th and Waterfront, went to her ssistance, but both were carried to the west'side of the pier, where the heavy sea which was running washed them against th~ cement buttresses. Seeing their plight, another man visitor attempted a rescue, but the waves continued to dash them against the cement, and fin- ally a life buoy was thrown to them, with the help of which the three finally managed to make the shore in front of the Fortune Cup Inn. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Fletcher and family, who have been re- siding for .ome time at 17th and Duchess, have moved back to their home in the city. The long looked for salmon run has started.
