001C97FF September 6, 1929. BOYS STEAI. FRUIT FROiI I.AUNCH FATHER OF AVEST BAY RESIDENT AAVARDED C.~I.G. THE WEST VAN NEVFS CLASSIFIED ADS The following letter is self ex- planatory. The incident is not exaggerated as we happen to l now personally the details of it. Youthful spirits and excessive energy can excu. e many thingi but not such an incident as this. Here is a wilful trespass and de- struction of property. To board r. boat and steal things from it i no different to breaking into and burglarizing a house. 4Ve believe the act complained of was done without malicious intent; nevertheless it caused troable and loss to others and if the culprits had been brought to the police cour'. it would have been no more than they deserv- ed. The result would have caus- ed trouble to them, and trouble and expense to their parents. 3Irs. Davis chose not to take these measures. The boys should be thankful to her. If this catch- es their eyes--and it would be a good thing for parents to draw it to their attention--they will re:ilise that they had a narrow escape. If they have good sense they will decide to be a little niore circumspect in future. They should be impressed by their parents with the fact that it is NOT fun when other people's property is damaged and a hen their actions cause trouble to others. To the Editor 9'est Van News. Iiear Sir:-- Some weeks ago I sent a let- ter to your paper protesting a- gainst the erection of a wood- yard at the foot of 17th on the grounds that it would spoil the pleasure of the children who hab- itually bathed there. TL Cay I am wondering how much better off I should be if the woodyard were there. Last Friday, I, with my fam- ily returned from Gabriola Is- land on a private gas boat which ive anchored off 17th Street wharf. IVe had four large boxes of t fruit on board, and while we had gone for a transfer man to re- move the fruit and our personal luggage to our home the boys and girls swimming and rowing around the wharf boarded the l:oat, opened the boxes of fruit and what they couldn't eat they threw into the water. FIad we not been so tired from our long trip we should certainly have notified the police. It was bad enough my being a resident; but supposing I had been a vis- itor proposing to buy property i» AVest Vancouver, EVhat a re- ception ! '. Thanking you, Nr. Editor, Yours sincerely, (Mrs.) L. K. DAVIS. lfrs. R. G. Innes-Noad, 1812 EVaterloo street, Kitsilano, has been notified that her husband, Fion. S. R. Innes-Noad, hI.L.C., of ~Ialton road. N.S.4V.. was a- warded the C.4I.G. (Companion of the ~lost Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George) in the King's birthday honors. The order was conferred by His Maj- esty for "distinguished services to the state." FIon. Mr. Innes-Noad estab- lished a welfare clinic for moth- ers and children from all parts of New South EVales. He has never been in Canada, but ex- pects to visit Vancouver early in 1&30. Mrs. Innes-Noad received a congratulatory letter from Hon. D. R. S. du Chaire, governor of the state of New South EVales. stating that her husband had re- ceived the honor. She has been i» Vancouver more than a year and has three daughters here, i~lrs. J. Stuart of Vancouver who is well known in IVest Vancou- ver, and Mrs. A. G. Eastman, AVest Bay; also Mrs. A. L. Mor- iee, Jericho Beach Air Station, R.C.A.F. iVATER BOARD BUYS CANYON VIEiV HOTRI. The Greater Vancouver AVater District, in addition to its num- erous other undertakings, has now entered the hotel, auto camp and suspension bridge business. Sale of the Canyon View Hotel a»d auto camp and the suspen- sion bridge at Capilano have been completed and Commissioner E. A. Cleveland announced yester- day morning that $76,000 has been paid to Nr. Rowe Holland, Vancouver barrister, vendor of the property. Purchase of this property was completed in connection with the district's scheme for the acquis- ition of 4200 acres of land in Capilano and Seymour valleys for reservoir purposes. Canyon View Hotel property is astride the abutments of the proposed darn at that point and will be hei..l by the board pending construction of the dam, about 1940. The hotel property divas purchaseR to prevent increasing valuation', declares Commission- er Cleveland. He believes that revenue from the hotel and auto camp, which ivill be operated until expiration of'urrent leases, will enable the board to carry charges on the property. Negotiations for the purchase of the remainder of the 4200 acres are proceeding and some of the smaller parcels have already been acquired. v4%oUYKR Uissaa (~ggy ~ 4 l js J s U JE at DUNI)ARAVE HALL on SA I'URDAY, SEP I.

COME IN CROWDS lVEST VANCOUVER AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULT- URAL ASSOCIATION IVill hold the 13th Annual Couldn't Oblige Two The hansom ordered by the middle-aged spinster was late, and the cabby came in for a good rating when he finally drove up. "I shall probably miss my train," the irate lady informed him, "and I shall hold you re- sponsible. I want your name, my man. Do you understand? I-- n ant--your--name!" The Boston driver clucked up his horse easily. "I'l let you have the number if you like." he said, "but you can't have my rename. That's promised to an- other young lady." A Stop and a Dash "Father," asked eight-year- nld Alice, returning home from school, "are you good at punctu- at ion?" "Yes," replied the father. "EVel), tell me, please, how would you punctuate 'The wind blew a five-dollar bill around the corner.' "IVhy, daughter, I would simp- ly put a period at the end of the sentence." "I wouldn'," said Alice mis- cliievously; "I would make a ciash after the five-dollar bill." The Old and the New The teacher asked: "IVhen did Moses live?" After the silence had become painful she ordered: "Open your Old Testaments. IVhat does it say there?" A boy answered: "Noses, 4000." "Now," said the teacher, "you have all seen that before. AVhy didn't you know when Noses lived?" ")Veil," replied the boy, "I thought it was his telephone number." IVhat He Couldn't Do A prominent judge was recent- ly automobiling and his chauf- feur was driving at a very fast pace. They didn't see the dog, but suddenly they heard his "ki- yi," and the judge ordered the cnauffeur to stop. Going back they found an angry woman standing over a dead dog--one of the ugliest dogs imaginable. She saluted the judge in no uncertain terms, telling him what she thought of him and fiuishing up by calling him the "murderer" of her dog. The judge, thinking to pacify l.er, said: "Madam, I shall be glad to replace your dog." "Sir," she said in freezing voice, "you flatter yourself." Pushing a Good Thing One day a party of traveling men ivere boasting of the busi- ness done by their respective firms, when one of the drum- mers said: "No house in the country has as many men and ivomen push- ir.g its line of goods as ours." "IVhat do you sell?" he divas asked. "Baby carriages," said the salesman. It's a Creat I'lace for Big Beats A Texan and a New Yorker were one day discussing the rel- ative merits of their respoctive climates. "Down ivhere I live," said the 1exsn, "we grew a pumpkin so hig that ivhen we cut it my wife used one-half of it as a cradle to rock the baby in." The New Yorker smiled. ")Vhy my dear fellow," he said, "that' nothing at all. A few days ago, right in Net York City. three full-grown policemen were found asleep on one beat." It 8'ould Be Obvious Then "I confess," said the old doctor to the patieiit, "I eanriot make out your case." "5Vell. but what are you going to do?" asked the forlorn pati- ent. "Oh." said the doctor as he brightened up, "we'l wait and f»id out at the post-mortem ex- amination." F OR RENT-- 1 Roomed Furnished Suite in private house. Fully mod- ern, $ '5. Close to f rry.

"I am," said the ~voman; "I am the defendant's stepmother and his mother-in-law." "AVhat?" asked the astonish- ed judge. "How can that be?" ")Vel), your Honor," said the woman, "you see his father is my husband, but before his fath- er married me he had been pre- viously married and by that mar- riage his father became father of a son, being him--EVilliam- as it ivere.
