THE overwhelming majority oi retail ettatomere travel by the street cars.SWIllIAIING CLUB DANCE VERY SUCCESSFUI. AFFAIR A large proportion of the automobiles along the curb belong to business men and employees of neighboring stores and businesses ~ho therefore are not shoppers.The dance sponsored by the EVest Vancouver Amateur Swim- ming Club and which was held in Hollyburn Pavilion last night was very well attended. It prov- ed to be one of the most enjoy- able dances ever held in the dis- trict. The hall was quite warm and comfortable and the orches- tra supplied excellent dance mus- ic which kept the dancers mov- ing throughout the evening. The club committee who had the ar- rangements in hand had evident- ly gone to a lot of trouble for their guests'leasure and the fact that the floor was crowded at the closing hour showed the enjoyment the dancers were hav- ing. The Swimming Club is an ac- tive and virile organization. The officers have a true realisation~ of the opportunity afforded them of helping and developing the youth of the district and are taking advantage of it. Every help should be given them. It is hoped they will have the assistance of the municipal authorities and the people gen- erally in their endeavor to make swimming a popular pastime in IVest Vancouver and that im- proved facilities will be arrang- ed towards this end. The increasing congestion in our do~town streets due to unnecessary automobile travel on car line stt'eets and pat'lting on car line streets. is hampering and delaying the street cars in serving the 80 to 90 pet cent. Cjvho travel in them. Auditorium IVill Not Be Rented At the meeting held on Feb- ruary 7th, the School Trustees confirmed their previously an- nounced policy of refusing the use of the Inglewood School aud- itorium for anything except in connection with school activities. Answering a correspondent who pointed out that it had been used for the annual Burns'upper the Secretary was directed to reply that the Burns'upper was the only exception that had been made, and this was solely be- cause no other hall in West Van- couver was large enough for the purpose. The Board again went on rec- ord as being opposed to renting the auditorium in competition with local enterprise. It is the direct and personal interest of the merchant and the downtovm business man to see that the street rail~ay is enabled to give speedy, cheap and conveni- ent service Assist your stree railuray to serve Vancouver lmxSH SIKKIM ~ K~~aijciClbjuWiIFCR VANCOUVER VICTORIA DANCE AND ENTERTAIN- TO PROTECT HIKERS CLIENT AT PAVILION ON ON HOLLYBURN RIDGE THURSDAY, 51ARCH 7th Forest Ranger Pearson wrote the council suggesting that large sign-boards be placed at the be- ginning of both the 22nd and 25th Street trails with warnings to hikers especially lone hikers, to carry a good supply of match- es in a waterproof box and a candle stub or some dry material to quickly start a fire and build a smoke screen, which could be easily traced by searchers, as a continuously smoking fire is tak- en in most places as a sign of help needed. He stated that a sign board with slates in it and slate pencils for hikers to emte their names or messages on had been in use for some years at North Lonsdale and had proved very popular and at times use- ful. One side of it was marked "gone up" and the other "gone down. The B. C. Forest Service had a phone line to nearly the old Naismith i~lill and he was sure they would be willing to let any extension line up the ridge be connected to this prodded they had the right of way in case of fire or other calls when neces- sary. He said he was passing the council's letter on to his dis- trict supervisor with the request that he take up the matter with head office as to whether the service would contribute towards t he line extension to the ski camp in the interests of forest protection as well as for the gen- eral safety of the public. The matter was referred to the Reeve and Councillor Fiddes to interview the B. C. Telephone Co.

HUTT, Landscape Architect TENDERS FOR SCHOOLSUPPLIES Gvaluato ls Lsgbcaplsg U. ot C Aaorlcas Scljtool of La4ocapo Arclgltocturo assiGargtoalsse Moabor Nattoaal Laadscapo Sorvtco. Tenders from Messrs Clarke 8c Stuart and Smith, Davidson 8: Wright for school supplies were received last week by the Board of School Trustees. The Finance Committee will deal mth the matter. Someone is always beginning a garden. We are hoping that A. J. Downing's appreciation, which we have been quoting, has awakened our readers to a pleas- urable anticipation of having a garden of roses. The beginner must certainly start eath both (climbing and bush or dwarf roses. The bush roses will be a delight the first summer after planting, and the climbers will gratify and capti- vate with their promise of beau- ty to come. If you have not already made your selocton, do not be discour- aged, for while undoubtedly late October or November is the bet- ter time for planting, roses may be set out any time from October ot March with satisfactory re- sults. 'Obey that impulse'nd have a rose garden this year. Below we are going to give you a list of Roses which we have found to be particularly worthy of the title 'Queen of Flowers." These climbers have won our regard by merit of color, profu- sion of bloom, and freedom from disease: American Pillar--Bright pink, single. Dr. W. Van Fleet--Pale flesh pink, fragrant, lovely foliage. Paul's Scarlet--Vivid scarlet. does not bleach. L«marque--White shaded yel- low, early. Emily Grey--Yellow, good fol- iage, rapid grower. The above are cluster roses, mostly of the Wichuriana tp~. Following is a list of Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses: Mme. C. Testout--Pink, heavy bloom. Team Named for Tupper 8; Steele Competition on Grouse General NcArthur--Deep vel- vety scarlet, real rose perfume. Lady Hill ington -- Yellow, splendid color and form. In the following list you may find the bush roses of the Hybrid Perpetual varieties you will want to include: Duchess of wellington--Yel- low, handsome and sweet scented General NcArthur--Deep vel- vety scarlet, perfumed. Ophelia--Pale flesh shaded rose, fragrance is delightful. Druschki--EVhite, long point- ed bud. Mme. Ed. Herriott--Coral red, orange yellow base, lovely. This is only a beginning, just to entice you into rose growing. And surely in IVest Vancouver your anticipations will have a happy ending. The School Trustees have in- structed the Secretary to advise Prin. Patterson that the lunch room at Inglewood School is not to be used for any social event unless so authorized by the board. One exception being made i.e., the Teacheiw'adminton Club which meets on Wednesday evenings. Fresh from triumphs in the Western Canada ski champion- ships recently at BanfT', Doris Parkes on Sunday won the Hol- lyburn Pacific Ski Club ladies'wo-milecross-country title race. i4Iiss Parkes'ime was 25 min- utes 55 seconds. "Bobby" Had- dock was second, a minute slow- er, and Daisy Bourdon third, on- ly 90 seconds behind the second place winner. There were seven entries in the race, which was one of the most closely-contested events of the season. Fladmark, Sneiss, Finkelhag- en and hIonis will represent the club in the championship team competition on Grouse Mountain liext Sunday. The Tupper 8; Steele shield is at stake in this tournament which is an event of extraordinary interest. as some of the best skiiers in Western Canada will be in action. The Hollyburn team is an exception- ally strong one, every man being class "A". "Chuck" Lauritsen is spare. P.T.A.
