001C97ED August 16, 1929. STAN STRONGE F'USHES BAYLEY TO LDIIT; CADDIE SECOND IN LONG SNDI Stan Stronge, son of &Ir. and llrs. Alex. Stronge, 14th and ~Iarine Drive, finished a very close second on wednesday in the third annual swim acro'urrard Inlet, the winner and Stan making the fastest time in the history of the race. The dist- ance is two and one-eighth miles, from the Japan Dock, North Vancouver, to the foot of IVindermere Street. The winner's time was 1 hour, 10 minutes, 44 seconds, Stan covering the distance in 1 hour, 12 minutes, 3 seconds. The IVest Van. boy led the swimmers all the way, and, had he not veered slightly off course, would surely have finished first. The swim is a long grind as is shown by the fact that only 17 Qn- ished the race out of a total of 34 starters. Stanley is only 18 years old, and the fact that he made such a splendid showing against mature eiwimmers of long experience not only speaks volumes for his present capacities, but augurs exceedingly well for his future success in this branch ol'thletic effort. IVe expect that with a few more years on his shoulders he ~ill be making as big a name for IVest Vancouver and Canada as I'ercy IVilliams has done in the sprinting world.

THE WEST VAN NEWS Correspondence TA~IPERING AVITH PLACE- NAiIES LEI I'gR AVII.L BE RETURNED TO CORRESPONDEiNT Editor AVest Van News: I was glad to read the protest o'. Col. Savory as regards the Iiractice of tampering with our place-names. In many cases the change is made to serve the ends of mere flunkeyism. People who have occasion to use maps and charts are often put to great trouble by such alterations. Nor is there any limit to the extent to which they can be carried. If the change is made today in ord- er to satisfy the petty vanity of somebody, there is absolutely no reason why it should not be made again tomorrow, in spite nf any Geographic Board. The Americans, in order to conceal the fact that the Englishman Coleman organized the first suc- cessful climb of ~Iount Baker, have changed the name of "Cole- man Glacier," to "Roosevelt Glacier," although the former is printed on the government top- ographic map of the mountain. I cannot conceive what the provincial authorities were thinking of when they made the changes during the compiling of the new sheet of the North Shore. There is one case out- side of IVest Vancouver in which I am obliged to obtain co-oper- ation for the purpose of making strong representations. But in our own municipality the case of white Cliff Point is a piece of bad taste unworthy of a pub- lic department. The original name was given by the party which prepared the Admiralty chart of Howe Sound. It was in every way suitable, for it em- bodied a definite aspect of the weathered granitoid rock in the cliffs there. But the change to "EVhyte" is of the nature of a cheap pun, and an abominably obvious one. Yours truly, J. PORTER. IVe are in receipt of a letter delivered by registered mail and enclosing a $ 1 bill. The subject matter ot'his letter is not suit- able for publication in our col- umns, and, if the m.iter will call at this office, the letter and dol- Lar bill will be returned to him. Reader Deplores Lack of Exhi- bition Display Dear Editor: Having visited Vancouver Ex- hibition and finding no display from IVest Vancouver, I was sor- ry to think our district let such an opportunity slip by where tourists from everywhere con- gregate, especially to view and see the products of Greater Van- couver and surrounding districts KVest Vancouver could outriv- al all the other districts from what I see growing in our flower gardens. Other districts may gmow bet ter vegetables. For example in my garden are:--ordinary bedding aster@. A plant growing on single stock and raised this year from seed; height 4 feet, carrying 11 blooms at a time, of average di- ameter, 4 inches. Beautifully shaded. I have carnation plants raised from single seedlings this year, 2 feet high; carrying 24 blooms and buds each bloom averaging 2 inches in diameter. I have gladiolas of 4 feet av- erage height in full bloom of wonderful color and shape. Some plants coming along a little later now indicate, that they may reach 6 feet in height. I have dahlias 8 feet high and bloom 8 inches in diameter. In 1927 I grew beets, the larg- est weighing over 6 lbs and of excellent quality. Carrots weigh- ing 2&/~ lbs.. (Of the short varie- ty). )Ve also had an apple on one of our trees, 7 inches in diamet- er each way and weighting over 2 lbs. It was unexcelled in shape and flavor by any apples grown elsewhere that I have sampled. I remain, Yours truly, W. McDONALD.

All her variations are made by means of different fillings and frostings. Her foundation cake she has made so often that she knows exactly when she has creamed her butter and sugar 1 ong enough, and always gets the proper thickness for her batter. As her oven has a heat regulat- nr she is sure of her baking with- out looking into the matter after she has set it at the proper tem- perature. Like most other cooks she has favorite frostings and fillings from which she obtains consist- eiitly good results. Her frosting is what she calls twice cooked. It really is a plain boiled frosting but after the syrup has been boiled to the thread stage (238 F.) and has been beaten into the stiff egg whites the bowl is set iii hot water and the beating con- tinued until the frosting is just right to spread. Some good cake bakers prefer the frosting which has little corn syrup added with the sugar. 'Ihis is cooked to a higher tem- perature and must be beaten longer after the syrup is added to the eggs. This is not set in hot water. It keeps soft indefin- itely. (HO%I IF 1 M/AS iie CHINA i'D BB STA+Di+C & HY FEET'iNSTEAD oF MY HEAD- ygWV o (~&)3 -- YodRE HOT AsLooK, EDDiE- NOT NEAR l ~ E / J.
