TO SELL I'OPPIES The ladies of the Duncan I sw- son Chapter, I.O.D.E.. under the convenership of iilrs. iU. Gourlay will be out next week selling poppies to the householders throughout the municipality. Arrangements have also been made for the sale of these pop- pies at Gemmill's Drug Store, 14th and siIarine Drive, and at the Dundarave Pharmacy, 25th and tilarine Drive. The money received from the sale of the poppies, which by the way are all made hy veterans in the Red Cross workshops, goes into the l'oppy Day Relief Fund to relieve distress among ex-service men and their families in iVest Vancouver only. No relief is ex- tended to those at outside points. The fund is administered by a committee of seven made up of five members from the local branch of the Canadian Legion and two members of the Duncan Lawson Chapter. Outside of the cost of buying the poppies, thert; are no other expenses, as every one connected with the fund gives his or her services free, and every case is carefully in- vestigated before relief is ex- tended. Be sure and buy a pop- ijy, for by doing so you are help- ing distress among iVest Van- couver residents, and you can rest assured that every cent will be carefully and wisely spent.

Correspondence iUANTS LIFEBELTS ON FERRY hIORE ACCESSIBLE The Editor AVest Van News, Sir:--May I, through the med- ium of your valuable newspaper, call attention to our council to certain conditions of a rather startling nature which came to my attention in smoking cabin on AVest Van. Ferry No. 5. A discussion arose on location of life-belts on same. The mate was questioned upon the subject and we discovered that they were in such position as to neces- sitate the closing of the cabin door to obtain them. You will easily see, sir, that this would mean temporarily imprisoning the passengers in cabin whilst obtaining belts. In case of door becoming jammed a serious condition would easily develop. I may say that, in point of fact, the starboard side door is perpetually jammed and has been throughout my experience of this ferry. I would make three sugges- tions to the council: (1) That the starboard door be adjusted and oiled. (2) An axe be hung in a prominent position on cabin wall. (3) Lifebelts are placed in convenient position for use of smoke-room passengers. The advent of our usual fog at this period of year renders such reforms absolutely necessary. You will agree, sir, that rec- ords of disaster usually point to similar difficulties as enumer- ated above. Yours truly, F. E. B. GARDENS and GARDENING By MINA G.

Take some liume for lunch or Supper t To the reader who requested information on the propagation of privet by means of clippings or seeds, we would say that either method might be success- foily employed. However, the fact that seeds of the privet fre- quently do not germinate until the second year and would re- quire two years longer to be- come sizable hedge material would influence one, not unrea- sonably, in the choice of cuttings for the purpose of increasing their supply of plants. Seeds may be sown in fall, or stratified seeds sown in March. Cuttings may be taken at this time and inserted in the open ground, preferably in shade, and sheltered from the prevailing winds which would whip them a- bout, and tend to loosen them in the soil. Cuttings should be from six to twelve inches in length and of one year wood. These cuttings may be placed quite closely together, say two and one-half to three inches a- part and three to six inches deep. Cultivate them repeatedly dur- ing the summer to aerate the soil. By fall when the plants have attained some little growth transplant to a new location, spreading them out from six to nine inches apart. At the same time set them from four to six inches deeper in the soil than they were previously. The ne~t transplanting may take them to their permanent location, and at this time they will again be set four to six inches deeper than before. By doing this you will acquire plants two and a half to three feet high and probably a foot and a half or more at the base, at the end of two years. To make bushy plants the tips of the shoots are pinched back when they are about three inch- ',s long. This may be done at in- tervals of a month or less during the summer. Of course you will know that fall is th» best time for transplanting, although ear- ly spring is also permissible. Another method, more in use in the eastern climate is to take the cuttings at this time of the year and after stripping off the leaves tie them in small bundles --large bundles would mold- and bury them, tops up, over winter. In the spring they are struck in rows in the same manner as given above. AVhen trimming a hedge a good way to insure a straight cutting each time, is to drive a one-inch pipe into the ground t't each corner. Insert a straight stick into each pipe and stretch a line from stick to stick. The small length of pipe may remain in the ground, it will hardly be noticeable. hIrs. A.G.S. inquires "How may plants be taken from the garden for house culture?" If the plants have been plant- ed in the garden during the sum- nler considerable care must be taken when potting. In digging the plants many roots will un- avoidably be broken. To offset the injuries the plant tops should be cut back accordingly. The plants may be unsightly for a few weeks, but will be much more satisfactory later on. The newly potted plants should be allowed to remain in the shade of some shrubbery to recover for a few days before bringing them into the house. Nearly all of us are inclined to use too large a pot when pot- ting up house plants. This often means that the soil becomes sour through the plant being un- able to use up all the water given. The roots being unable to cope svith this moisture are un- able to get the required amount of air, and the result is a sickly unhealthy plant.
