001C959D Something To Coaasider Correspondence WAiVTS BEACHES CLEANEI) To the Editor, West Van News, Dear Sir, The "Development of our beaches" divas the subject of an editorial appearing in last iveek's issue of the West Van Neivs, so possibly a suggestion or two on this matter ivould perhaps be appropriate, the more so, as you have referred to the same idea before. iVo doubt there are various ways of providing, or establish- ing, sandy beaches, but one way that has proved very successful in the Old Country, take the East Coast at Lowestoft, in Suf- folk, (south beach) where groyn- es ivere constructed several years ago, resulted in providing a very fine sandy beach, at very little outlay and to make the at- tempt, here, in a small way to be- gin with, just to test it out, would, methinks, certainly be worth while. Did not the authorities at Ross Bay, Victoria, do something of this kind? Of course we should have a great deal more debris and tide to contend with, nevertheless, if such an idea were adopted, more as an experiment at first and ii it should prove successful, think what the result would mean. No suggestion, to my recollec- tion, having yet been made, pos- sibly this idea might be consid- ered and given a trial. Yours, for all the development we can get, F. J. TROUGHTON.

News: Sir--I do not know which de- partment of the municipality is responsible for the tidiness and cleanliness of our streets, but the area round the business sec- tion of Ambleside is in very great need of attention. The antiquated method of garbage collection from the front of stores, etc., during the daytime is not an attractive procedure. It would be greatly to the ben- efit of the business sections if this matter could receive some attention with a view to improv- ing the conditions. Yours truly, K. W. SAVORY. THANKS BASEBALL BOOSTERS Editor West Van. News: Sir--On behalf of the execu- tive of the Senior Baseball Club I wish to thank the supporters of the club for their assistance --those who gave financial sup- port and those who put in active work on behalf of the club. I ivould also thank the fans for their interest and support dur- ing the season, and the West Van. News, which is ever ready to back local sport. Yours truly, ARTHUR W. LUNN, Secretary Senior Baseball Club. SIDEWALK FOR DIILE 1 5IARINE DRIVE The engineer reported to the council on the construction of an earth sidewalk on mile 1 of Ma- rine Drive. The estimated cost of making such a sidewalk cov- ered with torpedo gravel along- side the pole line in a fairly re- spectable manner would be $ 1.- 420. By cramping the sidewalk closer to the highway and mak- ing some kind of a makeshift walk would cost $724 at an esti- mate. An expenditure not to exceed $375 was authorized, this by cutting out 200 yards of fill at $200 and 100 yards of torpedo gravel at $150 as contained in the second estimate.(Continued on Page 7) 1 egg 2 cups buttermilk &/~ cup siveet milk &/~ cup molasses 1 cup white flour 4 cups graham flour 1 teaspoon salt 1&/~ teaspoons soda 1/q cup seeded raisins Beat egg until light.

The bill embodying this change in Great Britain and Northern Ireland was given its third read- ing in the House of Loi.ds yest- erday. It previously had passed the House of Commons and now needs only the assent of King George to become law.
