Especial- ly would she thank the members of the Canadian Legion, West Vancouver branch, who acted as pall- bearers and who helped in the funeral arrangements. THE PASSING OI" W. H. TODD ~ ~ It falls to the lot of few men to earn such widespread esteem as that evidenced at the funeral of AV. H. Todd last wednesday, when about 250 of his friends gathered to pay their last respects. His passing is a loss to the district. His cheery greeting and his bright happy outlook on life had endeared him to a legion of friends. Mr. Todd divas a gentleman, a friend to all, considerate of all and desirous only of disseminating happiness and good feeling. He was not in the generally ac- cepted sense of the term a public man. He was rather a man for the public. Outside of his church he held no public office, but he wielded a strong influence nevertheless. Any man whose passing is so generally regretted has made a success of his life, for after all the traits which 5Ir. Todd exemplified are the ones which mean most to mankind. Consideration and sympathy, a smile and a helping hand. This was Billy Todd. His home life was a particularly happy and harmonious one, and his widow and two charming young daughters will have a wealth of happy memories of a husband and father. IVhen the poignancy of their sorrow has passed they will realise how fortunate they are in having such happy memories. The true test of any man is in his home and knowing him as we did fairly intimately, ive can sav that friend Todd was pure gold. The world is richer for such men as he. His was a successful life. )Villiam H. Todd, who was born in England, had been aresident of B. C. for over 20 years. He passed away at 3 o'lock last Monday morning in the Vancouver General Hospital.

That was, of course, absolutely imperativein order that our residents might be able to reach the side-roads on which most of them have their homes. The timehas now come to put in order a number of these sideroadswhich require attention and in the present scheme is includedKeith Road, our second arterial highway, concerning the poorcondition of which there is no diversity of opinion. One fact must always be remembered as regards anydistrict like West Vancouver, which is a suburb of a bigcity, namely that it must be prepared to provide all up-to-datelocal improvements BEFORE it can attract city residents inany appreciable numbers to settle within its borders. This istrue from the Atlantic to the Pacific on both sides of theinternational boundary. The reason is, of course, that thosewho live in large cities and who are accustomed therefore, toall the latest conveniences, will not move to any suburb whichhas not ALREADY all those conveniences for their comfoit.Given those improvements, the limit of the growth ofsuch a suburb is the limit of the growth of the city adjacentto it, and, failing those improvements, the city residents staysin the city or settles in a suburb which is willing to pay theprice. That in a nutshell is the situation which confronts usin AVest Vancouver. Are we willing to pay the price for a largeand continued exodus into our borders of Vancouver residents? EVe have the climate and the natural situation, but the peoplewill most assuredly go elsewhere if we are not prepared togive them the conveniences oi Vancouver. ~est Vancoaaver Bible hool Ambleaide IIall, arine at 14th NEXT SUNDAY at 3 I M.
