001C96EF March 15, 1929.THE BLUEST VAN NE)US I&. Ol" T. EXECUTIVE HOl.ll MEF.TINGSmith 's i~roeery The executive of the IVest Vancouver Board of Trade held their regular monthly meeting on )Uednesday evening when re- ports of committees were receiv- ni and discussed. President Alc- Quaker reported on an interview hc had had with the postal auth- orities i» Vancouvet as regard~ obtaining better postal facilities for EUest Vancouver. A general discussion followed and it was finally decided it be recommend- ed to the board that they take up the matter again with Ottawa through Gen. blcRae in an effort to have postal facilities improv- ed. A letter was received from the Hort,icultural Association asking for the cooperation of the board in the holding of a public meet- ing with a view to alouslng lIlt- crest in the beautifying and de- velopment of the boulevards and parks. The matterwill come up for discussion at the regular monthly meeting on Monday, but the members of the executive ex- pressed themselves as being en- tirely in sympathy with the en- cleavor, and will give their sup- port to the meeting to be ar- ranged by the Horticultural So- ciety. It is proposed to have blr. and Mrs. Hutt up from Seattle to give an illustrated lecture on the subject at the meeting. George Gourlay in discussing the boulevards suggested that the board ask the municipal council to have the practice stop- ped of the dumping of stones ovid other debris on the boulevards v hen roadmaking or other work is in progress. A hearty vote of thanks was given to the ladies .~or their as- sistance in making the social evening last month the great suc- cess it was, special reference be- ing made to the work of the con- vener, 51rs. McQuaker, who had directed the arrangements o. the refreshments and musical pro- yr™m~. A proposal for a community hall was before the meeting, and it was felt that such a building .vould be a distinct asset to the district. It was the feeling of the meeting that any reasonable proposal towards the furthering of this object should receive tht support of the board. The regular monthly meet!ng will be held next Monday at 8 o'lock in the Legion rooms, fer- ry building. All members are asked to be on time for this meeting. We Deliver A.

Councillor Jackman, chairman of the transportation committee, reported to the council on Mon- day on an interview he had had with the Pacific Stages. He stated that the company is col- lecting data regarding the con- venience of the travelling public and will have suggestions to make to the council in the near future. A schedule was being set to connect with the West Vancouver ferries, which was one reason why the arrival of their stages in North Vancouver does not correspond at all times with the North Vancouver fer- ries.

ENTRIES CLOSE TOAIORROW spcct far ahea Still, the stranger feels free to take liberties if she's the kind of gir] who will accept a ride with a stranger. ch is in every re- d of any previous e vent. Indeed, the problem will be to get into the extra allowance of time all that should go in. Not the least difficulty is that of ar- ranging the time schedule of th'estivalso that everything may run to time with smoothness and no overlapping. Here the ent- rants can very materially assist hp having their entries in to- morrow after which day an ad- ditional fee of $1.00 is charged. Entries have been pouring into the office of the secretary for some weeks past, nor will the ivork of accepting them be over until the above date. A large a- mount of clerical labor is entail- ed, and it is hoped that intend- ing entrants will do their share toward speed and efficiency by complying with the regulations in this respect. Any information regarding the Festival will be gladly given by the secretary, Mr. S. A. Law- rence at his office, 328 Rogers Building. Phone Seymour 5617. This freak spelling, like "Ye Printe Shoppe," apparently was used on early hot-dog stands. There is, for example, the palace of the doge. If any proof of the general increased interest in British Col- ~ umbia's Musical Festival were required, it would be found in the fact that while last year's event was one of six days, this year it has been found necessary to ex- tend it to ten days, con;mencing lllay 1, and continuin until May l. 1, This provision has been fully justified, for already the num- ber of entries received exceeds these of any previous year. I'. must be borne in mind that this ear's Syllabus carries not only an extension of n&an.i of the ciasses such as those for the piano, but has also the addition ot'any new c!'~". t:~, the Festi- val Association t hc relic carry- i.;g c ut their poltc'f supplying competitive events wherever there is the demand. That this has been approved by contest- ants there is no doubt, the ent- ries showing it, and this year Vancouver will have in its midst Radio speches boasting of prosperity are all right. Those who aren't prosperous aren' listening in. B. EV. M. Bone asked that a permanent roadway be laid on King Street, between 22nd and 23rd Avenues. He was advised that the surfacing of King's Av- enue was now under considera- tion. None of the big jobs are held by men who had rather lie and shiver than get up for an extra blanket.
