It is not surprising that there is so much enthusiasm in the ranks of the Society whr n it is realised that sve have the sup- poi t of our fellow resi(lents. For the information an(l en- couragement of our IVest Van- couver friends we append a list of those ladies and gentlemeii who so far have responde(l to our appeal an(l are giving their support by becoming Assiiciate i~Tembers.

Eccleston gave a birthday party on Saturday aft- ernoon at her home at 24th an(l Kings for her daughter 3Tadeline on the occasion of her tivelfth birthday. The table looked very pretty with its decorations of roses, and it divas laden down with good things to eat. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves with music and games following which refresh- ments were served. Those pres- ent were: 31uriel i~IcLarin, Dor- othy Armstrong, Grace McMil- lan, Alma Binning, Helen Ritz, Dorothy Smith, Edith white, AUilhemina O'rady, Eric Hos- kins, Norman Evans, Joan, Frank and 5Iadeline Eccleston. iAIesdames Cameron, Foster, Hoskins and Evans assisted hIrs. Eccleston in looking after her daughter's guests. A $10 reward is being offered by Pascuall's Rose Nurseries for information which will lead to the conviction of the person or persons who stole from his nurs- eries a quantity of rose trees last ~Vednesday night. This does not seem to have been the usual Hallowe'en prank, but rather the ivork of adults operating under the guise of Hallowe'en jokers. These plants are valuable to ilir. Pasquill, ~vho makes rose culture his business, and he would much like to get a line on the perpetrators. BIRDS IN OUR DISTRICT Editor IVest Van News, Now that the winter is com- ing on could not the No. 6 ferry be returned to its last year' schedule? As otherwise those of us who go to town at other times than the rush hours, will be con- demned to sit either in the black hole of the Sonrisa or in the slightly more commodious dun- geon on board the No. 5. I thought we were promised a new ferry, but noir we are worse off than ive were before. Yours truly, K. B. FOYSTER. De;ir Sir: Some time ago you published a series of very happy articles on "Birds i» Our Garden" by 5Ir. Harrison. Since that time there has been a gradual and varied increase in the number of our feathered res- ide»ts due, I believe to the work- i:igs of the Migratory Bird' Conservation Act and the growth of knowledge as to true "bird values." About six iveeks ago one of the evil(lest of ivild birds came to my garden and is still here, this is a wilson's Snipe (Gallin- ago delicate) a lovely little chap in cream, umber and speckled gray; for a few days he divas rather shy but now I can talk to him from a distance of si)i, feet and he is quite confident that he is safe from any danger. I thought on first seeing him that he divas aving weary with his trip from the Northern tundra or divas sick, but on the approach of a (log he flew like a hawk, to return ivithin half an hour. It is quite a surprise to me to have so wild and scarce as the resident in my garden as the snipe's natural habitat is ivet rushy meadows, possibly the fact that mine is something of "hortus conclusus" accounts for his choice of a printer home. Last Sunday I ivatched him for about an hour, during ivhich time he scarcely ceased pulling svire worms and the ivhite grub larvae of "Daddy long legs" out of the turf. I think it ivould be interesting to learn from members of th» IIorticultural Society if any other gardens in our district are harboring any of these v«ry val- uabl«. birds. The murderous Pro- vincial Game Regulation of B. C. allover the hunter to kill 150 IVil- son's Snipe up to January 31st, 1929, but I think they ivill soon be altered. Yours, etc., PURCELL HARDIIAN.

It is green and has a new lithograph of King George V, showing a three-quarter vieiv of his face instead of the usual profile. The stamp is the first to carry the word "post" both in English and in French.
