001C9909 «aF I THE VILEST VAiW NEVfS March 7, 1930. Correspoadence SUGGESTS AIRPLANE SERVICE SPEED IN Prescriptipiis When you are sick min- utes count. Quick delivery of prescriptions and sick room supplies mean more to you than anything else . on earth. To the Editor, AVest Van News. Dear Sir:--In reference to Mr. Troughton's letter in your edi- tion of February 7th, I ~vou]d like to suggest that in place of building a bridge or making a tunnel from the mainland to )Vest Vancouver in these times of progress, we might perhaps look higher up. Would it not be better to aspire to a regular airplane service be- Il'ween Vancouver and %'est Van- couver? Possibly this could'be extended in the summer months to Ho]lyburn Ridge, and so open tup a wide field of enjoyment to those who are not strong enough to make the grade on foot. I believe that a great future lies before West Vancouver and that it is up to us today to guard it as a permanent residential area for those who love nature nd the woods. The tourist ele- ment would pass us over when t)ie National Park is opened and would make a permanent air ser- vice a possibility., Yours truly, C. S. G. PHILIP.

Dear Sir:--I have just receiv- ed the following eulogy from the eminent conductor, iiIr. AVa]ter Damrosch of New York, U.S.A., who was so impressed on receipt of same that he broadcasted it in the endeavor of discovering the anonymous author. "I "Am iAIusic" "Servant and master am I; servant of -those dead, and mast- er of thosac]iving. Through me spirits immorta] speak the mes- sages that make the world weep, and -«laugh, I andi. wonder, and 'fivorshlp. "I tell I the story of love, the stol~ of hate, the stol~ that saves and the story that damns.: I 'am the incense upon which ,,pravers float to Heaven. I am . the smoke which pa]is over the frdld of battle where lmen lie ciyingewith me on their lips." ~ "I am close'to the marriage a]tar, and when the graves open I stand nearby. I call the wand- erer home, I rescue the soul from 'I the I depths, I open the I lips of lovers, and through me the dead whisper to the living. "One I serve as I sen'e all; andithe'King I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, and insects of the field, the fii crash of. waters on~ rock-ribbed "shores, the'ighing i of ~vind in "the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the'latter of whee]s on city streets. 'I know no'brother, yet a]l , ir en are my brothers; I am the father of the best that is in then& and they are fathers of the best that is in me; I am of them and they are of me. For I am the instrument of God" I am Music. Youls Sincerely, EVALTER GRUNDY.
