S iWIEilIBERS OF THE AUTO SERVICE CLUB. Phone %Vest 456 The following letter was sent under a nom de plume, but the subject with which it deals is one which we think should be brought to the particular atten- tion of all who have the welfare of West Vancouver at heart. Hence we asked the writer to al- low his name to appear as the author. After our pointing out the necessity for this, the ivriter concurred. We agree with 51r. Leyland most heartily as to the meat benefit West Vancouver District receives from the suc- cess of the Choral Society. This organization should receive the extreme support of our people. The Editor of the West Van News, Dear Sir: No less than twenty organizations in West Vancou- ver are e»gaged in community work of one kind or another. It is certain that these organiza- tions are rendering splendid ser- vice in community development, covering many varied spheres of activity. It is doubtful, how- ever, if any have done more for )Vest Vancouver than our adm'r- able Choral Society. This socie- ty has attracted the attention of music-lovers throughout the province, and has done well, not only in advertising West Van- couver abroad, but in bringing music, sunshine, and beauty into the homes and hearts of our own citizens. The Choral Society is now en- gaged in two beautiful works, namely Verdi's "Stabat )Iater" and "Tales of Old Japan" by Col- eridge Taylor; later on, they will prepare to enter the B. C. Music- al Festival, and hope to again bring the shield to West Vancou- ver. This effort, however, is not carried on without considerable expenditure of time a»d money. In the past, the Society has de- Charming 5 Room fully modern BUNGALOW Well built and warm. Glassed in verandah. (. W.

However, the present large membership of nearly one hundred requires much greater funds, as is evid- enced by the fact that the music alone for each member has cost to date $2.75, with more to fol- low, and other over-head expens- es. The estimated expense for this year is nearly $900.00. The present enthusiasm of the Society has never been surpass- ed, and if we expect them to maintain their enviable record and to continue their good work without the responsibility of fin- ancial obligations, they are just- ified in expecting the support of their many well-wishers, whose numbers are legion throughout the municipality. This letter is intended as a special and timely appeal to the citizens at large to show their appreciation of the work of the Choral Society by becoming As- sociate Members. The fee of $5.00 includes two seats at each of the concerts to be given, and vill help very materially in al- lowing the members to continue their good work with enthusi- asm and without the fetters of financial burden. The Choral Society is a worthy asset and an inspiration to our community life. As citizens, should we not consider it a duty and privilege to offer them not only moral but also practical support, wherever possible. If the members are assured of en- thusiastic support from their fel- low citizens, the future of the Choral Society as an important factor in the musical life of West Vancouver and the prov- ince has only just begun. Yours sincerely, J. B. LEYLAND.
