KVe'll think of you every time we eat out of it. Guest--It's awfully nice of ynu to say so--but won't it be a little difficult eating out of a vacuum cleaner? To the Editor, West Van News, Sir:-- AVest Vancouver poultry farm- ers are novv experiencing great di fficulty in disposing of even a small pere ntage of their eggs in our local stores, owing to the fact that large quantities of them are being brought in from outlying districts by a hawker, and sold from door to door. IVhether this man is offering them as West Vancouver pro- oucts, I cannot say, but if such is the case he is misrepresenting them. It seems very unfair that a man with an outlay of rIn old car and a ten dollar hawker's license should take the cream of a busi- riess which has taken our local poultrymen many years of hard svork and the expenditure of con- siderable money to establish; also very absurd to send to the city their new laid eggs while our local consumers buy import- ed ones in their place. I, myself, have shipped ninety dozen since last Saturday. IVould it not be wiser for housewives to ascertain where hawkers obtain their eggs be- fore giving them the preference tc the genuine local new laid ones? The term local in this case meaning )Vest Vancouver. Thanking you for kindly in- serting this;n your paper. Yours truly iV. STUART McINTYRE. To the Editor, West Van News, Is the time ripe for AVest Vancouver as a municipality to support a district nurse? Sir, the writer of this letter, an old timer and member of the first V. O. N. in this district, would be glad to have expres- sions of opinion through this paper on this subject. I have watched with keen int- erest the wonderful progress and development that has taken place in IVest Vancouver during the past few years, but, along the line of nursing facilities, we are l opelessly behind the times. At the present time there is not a nurse other than private that one can call for nursing ser- vices. North Vancouver V.O.N. closed its doors against us, some eigh- teen months ago. This is not to be wondered at, as we had been receiving their services almost gratis for many years, and the demand of their own district was more than sufficient for all their nursing facilities. Up till the end of the past month an Insurance Company gave their members nursing privileges, but this has also been discontinued and up to the pres- ent no arrangement has been made for further service. The above is a statement of facts as they exist at the present time and will go to show how handicapped EVest Vancouver is regarding nursing facilities. Surely with a little effort we could get together and organize so that with a yearly donation from each householder and prob- ;ibly a grant from the council we could support our own nurse and be independent. Hoping to hear more on this subject. Yours, AN OLD TIMER. FOR SAI.E CIIEAI' Fawcett 4-hole range with high oven. Two years old. Lik new. Phone IVest 436R.

Bridge Building The Editor, )Vest Van News, V Dear Sir, Strolling along )Iarine Drive the other day, and wondering when the contracts for comple- tion of the road would be let, we were strongly remirided of an incident which happened in the American civil war. A General, on one of the marches of his division, wished to cross a nar- rnw but very boggy stream. He sent for an old contractor who followed the army, and ex- plained to him that he wished a bridge built over so that the army could cross, the following day. He also told him at the same time that he would leave instructions with the engineers to get plans out for the bridge. The next morning the General saw the old contractor loafing and felt rather huffy about it; calling the old fellow over, he inquired, "Did you get those plans yet?" "I thought you would be working at that bridge; the army must cross today." "Aw, Gineral," he answered, "I finished building the bridge this morning but I don't knoiv whether the picture will be ready in time for you to cross over, or not."

ROAD BUILDING V Editor, EVest Van News: Sir:--In your paper two weeks ago you commented on the com- munication of Mr. G. S. Hanes tn the Council in which he de- scribed the condition of the Douglas Road in Burnaby. IVe are indeed fortunate that the i~Iunicipal Council and their consulting engineer, Mr. Hanes, took such a positive stand on this question and were not affected by the pressure that was brought tn bear against them to force them to accept the tender for a road like Burnaby has. It seems strange that so many people do not realize that road building is a real business. The pnpular opinion seems to be that it is easy to construct streets and highways. which reminds me. Did you ever meet a man who did not think he could run a res- taurant? For some reason both businesses seem to be singleJ out by the inexperienced. The pub- lic does not suffer as much from i hat type restaurant, because it does not liave to eat in such a place unless it chooses but the public pays dearly for inexperi- ence in road building. Our council should be congrat- u!ated for not expending our road funds for a pavement that has a life of only a few months, as Burnaby, New )Vestminster, Surrev and Nanaimo have so bit- terly discovered. Very truly yours, J. L. II. FOUNDATION AiIiD CEMENT Work Landscaping, Lawns, F e n c i n g, Drains, Rock Walls, Clearing, Grad- ing, Septic Tanks. T. Barnott, West 672R.
