HORTICULTURISTS TO HOLD PUI3LIC MEETING TO AID PARK AND BOULEVARD DE VELOP&1ENT Last Fridav night under the auspices of the West Vancouver Horticultural Association a group of local horticulturists gathered at Ambleside Hall to listen to an address on "Parks, Boulevards and Beautifying the Municipality," by Mr, H. O. Hutt, who substituted for his wife--)Irs. 5Iina G. Hutt. Nrs. Hutt, who writes a weekly col- umn on "Gardens and Garden- ing" for the News, was unable to be present. she having to at- tc-nd special lectures at the Uni- versity. The speaker gave a very in- forniative and interesting ad- dress. After showing the value of well laid out parks and boule- vards as an added attraction to the district he urged that the present was an opportune time for West Vancouver to give more than passing interest to this matter. He suggested that a sys- tematic programme covering this work be made out and followed bv the people here. After the address the meeting was thrown open for discussion and after talking over ways and means of tackling the question it was de- cided to hold a public meeting next month to which members of the council and the town-plan- r ing commission, as well as rep- resentatives of the different loc- al associations, be invited spec- ially to attend. An endeavor will be made to secure the co-opera- ticn of the public at large in an effort to make more beautiful and attractive the boulevards and parks of West Vancouver. The president of the Horti- cultural Association--John Ny- land--who was in the chair, in- formed the meeting that it was not the intention of the Associa- tion to enter an exhibit in the Tulip Show at Vancouver this year. He stated that their activ- ties would be concentrated on a larger and more ambitious exhib- it at the Vancouver Exhibition, in addition, of course to the two shows held annually in AVest Vancouver. Mr. Hutt promised to give any assistance possible in furthering the interests of the Association and to give individual members information on any specific gar- dening problem they may run into. A unanimous vote of thanks was given the speaker of the evening for his very able address and Mr. Nyland said that the Association would appreciate Mr. Hutt being present at the public meeting they proposed holding next month. Refreshments were served by the ladies after the meeting. He Knew! Five-year-old Bobby was view- ing his new little cousin for the first time. He turned to his aunt and sk- ed, "Who brought this baby to you?" "Why, the doctor brought it to me," replied his aunt. Bobby looked at his mother and said, "See, I told you so. The stork didn't have a thing to do with it." ;.0:.I X VO".0(S . V "'.)
