LORD (}UEENSBORO COi~lES TO iVEST VANCOUVER Lord Queensboro who is in- vestigating investment oppor- tunities in Canada on behalf of British colleagues, visited )Vest Vancouver last Sunday, when in company with Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, former premier of Can- ada, and General J. A. Clarke, he ivas the guest of General R. P. Clark at Gleneagles. Competing under the colors of the Vancouver Amateur Sa im- ming Club. George Burrows set a neiv B. C. record of 2:16 3-5 for the 200 yard swim, open, at the annual regatta and water sports held Saturday afternoon at Dundarave Pier, under the auspices of the AVest Vancouver Amateur Swimming Club. In the same event last year Burrows established the provinc- ial record of 2:24, but he beat his last year's time on Saturday by over seven seconds and re- ceived a big hand from the 650 spectators who vieived the re- gattaa. Sydney Summers of IVhite Rock ivas second in this B. C. championship event and Johnny Bayley, long distance swimming ace of the Vancouver Amateur Swimming Club, ivas third. 1Iollie Edwards of the IVest Vancouver Amateur Swimming Club, captured the lady's one and three-metre board diving champ- ir nship event.

The fall rains will help t hem establish themselves in their new location and by next summer they will be in better condition to withstand the dry weather. The distinctive beauty of ever- greens puts them in a class by themselves. A group of them at the doorway extends a cordial greeting the year round. They are excellent for ivindbreaks and hedges and provide a welcome shelter for the birds during the winter storms. Like all other plants, ever- greens should be placed in prop- er relation to the rest of the planting if they are to appear at their best. I&'or permanent ef- fects in foundation planting use only medium and low growing types. The taller groiving ones should be placed at the corners and each side of the entrance to the house. Several low growing sllrubs may be grouped at the base of the tall groiving ones. Make an 'evergreen hedge a part of the planting scheme for this wall of green will require no paint or repairs a»d ivill break the cold winds. It also provitles an excellent back ground for th» perennial border. J. lU. A., IIollyburn, asks how to protect perennial plants dur- ing the winter, particularly those in an exposed location. A mulch of coarse straw and leaves or coarse manure placed over the plants late in the fall will provide ample protection in this climate. Leaves used alone injure the plants. One of the l t-st ivays to protect perennials je to place small tree limbs or corn stalks over the plants and then cover ivith leaves. In this ivay the leaves cannot pack too tightly down on the plants. Freezing ivill not injure the per- ennial plants but alternate freez- ing and thaiving ivill. Any cov- ering that ivill prevent the ground from thaiving out on ivarm days will bring the plants safely through the ivinter. ~Ve are now on our annual va- cation and are looking forward ivith pleasure to spending a day or so in Butchart's Gardens in Victoria and so next iveek ive shall endeavor to tell you some of our impressions of the ivorld famous gardens.

Public utility companies in the public interest need toacquaint the public «ith their buainesa Here is «hatPreston S. Arkwright, president of the National Elec- tric Light Association, says on the subject: "Our business is peculiarly subject to public favor or Ql-will, and is regulated and controlled evc47rehere commissions, city councils, legislatures and juries.Their attitude is inRuenced by prejudices which arise largely out of unfamiliarity with the business. We therefore should acquaint them with the business. If we are going to perform our public duty we have got to expand every year. We have got to get the money for expansion from somebody else and wecan't get it if the community ia prejudiced against us. So it is our business to see that the industry ia under- stood, for one reason so that we can get the additional finance we need in order that the pubbc may benefit in better service at a smaller cost. That is only one of the benefit from public relations. "We want the public constantly to benefit in better treatment, greater consideration, more universal service and economical rates."
