FRASER WINS RACE AT IEANFI't the i ecent Banff winter carnival, Ray Fraser of the Hol- lybuv» Pacific Sk& Club, who wo» the 40-mile veterans'ace fvom Lake Louise to Banff, covered the dista»ce in the splendid time of 7hours and 19 minutes. Grocery Specials at GREEiVWOOD'S for SAT URDA Y nnd IION DA Y The West Vancouver Board ofTrade held its regular meeting last BIO»day night at "the Clach- an." This was followed by a soc- ial, at which the wives and friends of the members were the guests. President McQuaker I was in the chair. A delegatioii consist- ing of Preside»t D. I. Clarke and Secretary Gordon Vance of the West Valicouver Swimming Club addressed the board on the sub- ject of certain improvements they were asking the council to make at Dundarave Pier, not on behalf of the club, but fov the benefit of West Vancouver resi- de»ts as a whole. They stated they would like the support of the board in making their re- quest to the council. Lights were required o» the pier, also conveniences, and it was special- ly»ecessary that the question of the sewage dumped into the wat- er near the pier be attended to. It was desirable that a guard rail be placed along the east side of the pier to prevent children fall- ing into the ivater or on to the 1'ocks. Ml . Clarke presented to the meeting a blue print of a pro- posed extension 30 feet eastward of the pier head which extension was necessary, if the float, which had cost $2,000, was to be pre- served. He understood that it cost $60 to $70 every year to tow the float to «nd from Eagle Har- bour, which sum would go a long way towards paying the annual interest charges on the construc- tion of such an extension in con- crete or wood. Their chief rea- son, however, in asking for this extension was that it would pre- vent the eddy which sets out- ward from the float past the present pier head, and which last summer resulted in ten near fat- alities from drowning. The board promised to give the mat- ter their consideratio». A discussion took place on Pat Burns'ffer to purchase the Haddon Hall property. In the absence of exact infor- mation as to how negotiations were progressing, the local im- provements committee was in- structed to look into the matte: and report at a special meeting to be called later for the purpose. 4V. J. Clifford of EVest Bay, who is co-operating with the board in an endeavor to obtain a more suitable name for the post office at 4Vest Bay--which is now called Wadsley--attended and gave a report of the feeling in the district regarding the de- sire for a change. The board of trade committee appointed specially to look into this matter recommended that further en- deavor should be made to have the name "EVestbay Beach" es- tablished. The meeting concur- red in this recommendation, and further on representations to- wards this end will be made to the postal officials. After the regular business of the board was disposed of the meeting was turned over to the entertainment committee. Sever- al vocal solos being given by Mrs. S. EV.

The Vancouver Exhibi- tio» Association two years ago offered the New )Vestminstev Assoc'iation to amalgamate at Hasti»gs Park on the following basis: The name of the West- minster Exhibition to be taken; the President to be elected alter- »ately from westminster and Vancouvev, each city to have f&f- tv per ce»t on the directorate. The offer was rejected, on the plea that acceptance would mean the elimi»ation of )Vestminstev i»stead of amalgamation. It is suggested that it could be»o dif- ferent if the scheme at Central Park is gone on with. Every- thing has been do»e by the Vaii- couver Exhibitio» Association to meet the situation. Some Other I'oints During the past few years the Exhibition Association has ex- pended out of its own revenues $26,000 for the construction of a nine hole golf course, and will spend another $20,000 on the extensio» of the course to eigh-teen holes. Mo»ies borrowedfrom the City for repair of build- ings, construction of heatingplant for the hovse show buildingand other items, have been paidback to the exte»t of $ 14,000 inthe past three years. Revenuesreceived at Hastings Park will allbe used for the development ofthe Exhibition EVinter Faiv andthe Park generally. Total im- provement expe»ditures out cfExhibitio» revenue during thepast four years was $ 110,000.The entire plant has been reno-vated and a period of prosperityhas set in which will be reflected in the success of all departments of the Exhibition Space in existing building has been sold out practically alreadyfor the Exhibition in August .t»dat least two more permanent buildings could be filled with splendid machinery and other manufacturing operating exhib- its, if available. There will be no by-laws sub- mitted this year, but the presi-dent and directors mean to keepthe citizens posted on all phasesof the situation so that next yearwhen by-laws are submitted the ratepayevs will be in a positionto vote on them, knowing that theiv cost will be more than off- set in the revenues which will ac- crue to the Cty Treasury from the operations of the Exhibition Association in the years to come. Directors Give Services Free There are thirty-seven direct- ors on the board of the Exhibi- tion Association, thirteen of them being the i4?ayor and City Council. The others are elected. More than one hundred meetings are held yearly. None of the directors receives a cent for his servces. The work is a labor of love, a contribution to the upbuilding of a great in- stitution devoted to the develop- ment of agriculture and industri- al prosperity within our gates. The Exhibition, and EVinter Fair, belong to the city. EVith them a great work for the entire prov- ince can be accomplished. A small instance of that work is the fact that at the IVinter Fair last December more than $90,000 worth of meats, fruit and genei al agricultural produce was sold for the farmer to the merchants and consuming public of Vancouver, and move than $20,000 awarded in prizes in ad- dition. The )Vinter Fair is only four years old and it can easily be visualized just what this in- stitution will be able to accomp- lish duvi»g the next few years. T'e ratepayers investment at Hastings Park is worked to its capacity and the result has been the development of a big busi- ness, representing a turnover of half a million dollars each yeav, and an increase of more than double since 1925.
