001C9824 THE WEST VAN NEWS October 4, 1929. SENIOR illATRIC. FEE AGREED UPONSmith's i roeery A. H A K KEY S i~I I T H, I'ropriet or. DUNDARAVE .:„".;"„", HOLLYBURN Agi cement that the& should be a limit to free education, and that fees should be paid after junior matriculation was reach- ed Thursday night by represen- tatives of the Vancouver school board and Vancouver Paren- Teacher Federation. Protest by the Parent-Teachei body against the school board's decision to charge an annual fee of $ 100 for students of 17 years and over, resulted in a re-open- ing of the ivhole question. The first step in its reconsideration divas a round table conference ex- ecutive and a committee of the board, composed of Trustees James Blackwood, Tom Brooks and kV. M. )Voodworth. It. was agreed unanimously, after a thorough canvass of the situation with school officials, tiiat some limit should be set. Attainment of junior matric- ulation was thought the proper time to call a halt to free edii- cation, without setting an age limit. In cases of "soldiering" on the part of students it was suggested that they be dealt with on recommendation of the principal and superintendent. Trustee Blackwood has called a meeting for Monday night of the Lower Mainland branch, B. C. Trustees'ssociation, in order that the members of the Van- couver board may get the views of neighboring trustees on the matter before reaching a final decision. It is expected that definite ac- tion will be taken at a special meeting of the board set for wednesday night, In the meantime, the trustees are holding in abeyance the mat- ter of high school fees for 17- year-old pupils, and they will be received for the present without payment of special charges.

Largest Exclusive Retail Lumber Organiz ation in B.C. A fire broke out late last night at North Vancouver Sawmildls, resulting in the complete de- struction of the plant with a loss of $ 125,000. Intense heat from flames which soared 50 to 60 feet in the air made it impossible for firemen to approach near enough to play tlieir streams on the flames of the mill proper and they concen- tiated their efforts on saving the stock. Hundreds of spectators crowd- ed the open spaces about the mill and required the united efforts of the whole police force to hold them within the fire lines.

"Honor bright now, Bill," said the lawyer as the two left the courthouse, "you did steal that horse, didn't you?" "Well, now look here. I'l be honest with you. I always did think I stole that hoss until I heard you make that speech to the jury. Now I'l be dog-gonned if I ain't got my doubts about lt.

RE LIABI LITY For blocks around the roaring flames illuminated the country- side so that a newspaper coulrl be read several hundred yards away from the blazing mill. The absence of wind and the clear flames of seasoned wood burning provided an unusually spectacular blaze. Added to the spectacle of the roaring flames and the crashing of falling tim- bers as the frame fell in were the detonations from explosions in the engine room. Chief william Murphy said the first call came into the station at 12.40 a. m., but so swift was the onslaught of the flames that the mill was doomed before the fire engines reached the scene. It was as yet impossible, he said, to make any guess at the origin of the outbreak. Another fire broke out at the Horne Shingle Mill at Esplanade East, North Vancouver, about 11 a.m. today, but was quickly ex- tinguished by the brigade, very little damage was done. DON'T iVRITE AN- ONYBIOUS LETTERS )Vhy do people write anony- rnous letters to newspapers ~ Accomplishing nothing anrl less than nothing, in the way of spreading their own ideas and theories, nevertheless they con- tinue doing it. As a rule the anonymous letter is thrown into the waste paper basket half read. Once in a long while one of them contains some really useful information. Sometimes they are so amusing that their abusiveness is ignored and the other readers of the paper are allowed to join in the editorial laugh at the absurdity of the nameless critic. Perhaps the "anonymous" let- ter writer is content "to get it off his chest." Very well! but don't send any unsigned com- munications to THE NEAVS. They will not be published. You can use a nom-de-plume if you wish; but we must know who is the writer of every letter ave publish. ~ ~ s ~ s ~ s ~ I ~ a ~ aa ~ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarsa .'Hey, Bill, Miriicefs AT: out van kciaMC" I Once a customer, al&vays a customer. .
