Newsstands 6c per Copy SIX PAGES HOLLYBURN P.O., WEST VANCOUVER. B.C., FRIDAY, JUNE 6th, I930 TO OUR ADVERTISFRS AND SUBSCRIBERS To be Opened on Sunday for Auto Traffic Council Notes No. 2 With our last issue under date 30th May, the West Van News started the fifth year of its publication. Throughout the past years it has been our endeavor to foster to the best of our ability and power a strong and active community spirit, and to assist as much as in us lay anything . which appeared to us to be or likely to be a beneiit to West Vancouver. If sometimes we have criticized, it has been constructive and never personal, nor did we, nor do we claim omniscience. It has been our endeavor to faithfully record in as much detail as possible the various weekly happenings in the district, always holding a high standard of accuracy as the first es- sential in anything published in our columns. At this beginning of the fifth year of publication we wish to thank the local and non-local business firms and others who by their generous support in advertising have rendered the publication of THE NEWS possible during the years of its ex- istence, It cannot be too strongly emphasized that every news- paper from the London Times down to the smallest, lives and lives solely on its advertising. Circulation is always an inci- dental and is never reckoned in figuring costs. Indeed any newspaper which can pay distribution costs out of the money derived from its subscriptions is lucky. This does not mean that subscribers are not heartily welcome, but it does mean that the amount of the advertising space taken up governs snd always must govern the sirw of any newspaper. Without advertising support the biggest and oldest newspaper in the world would cease publication in a month. It is not for us to say to what extent The News has been a benefit to the district, and how much it has had to do with the wonderful growth which has taken place here since the spring of 1926. It is, however, a universally acknowledged fact that a local newspaper, if properly run and edited, is a real asset to any community, although many fail to realize the fact. We thank again our advertisers for their generous support, and bespeak from them in the coming year the same consider- stion as in the past. Our interests are identical, and we travel along s rommon road to a common goal, tbe making of West Vancouver the most desirable residential s'ector rir Canansi I I. O. D. E.

BEER LICENSE NEVER DISCUSSED Contrary to rumors now being circulated, the West Vancouver branch of the Canadian Legion wish to state that the question of a beer license has never been discussed at any meeting. Last Saturday afternoon the pupils of the Framer Montessori School, 18th and Esquimalt, gave their May Day party under the leadership of Mrs, W. D. Fraser, assisted by hire. F. F. Lovegrove. In spite of the intermittent show- ers of rain the children went through a portion of a varied program on the lawn, the re- mainder taking place in the school room. It was a very pret- ty scene on the green as the girls dressed as butterflies and the boys as sailor lads gave a num- ber of action songs concluding with the may-pole dance, and their etforts were heartily ap- plauded by their parents snd friends. The children then sat down to a dainty repast at a gaily decorated table in the school-room, while their elders were served afternoon tea. Later they concluded then program with folk dances and games. hfrs. E. J. Pearce and Mrs. H. C. Os- borne presided at the tea table assisted by Mrs. Ashwell, Mrs. Clerk, Mrs. Noble, hire. Robson and hfrs. Jackson. Mrs. L. C. Retd assisted in the program with a violin accompaniment. Baskets of flowers were present- ed to Mrs. Fraser and Mrs. Love- F ove by the Mav Queen, Nore obson and the hIaid of Honor, Gloria Noble. The school will continue its summer season during June and July, the lessons being taken as far as possible in the open air. The curriculum includes folk dancing and rhythm. ir~ swqns 1!)' r l w'+,i« i May Day Party at Framer Montessori School George Hay Inquimd whether DL 1043SE Vs might bepur chased and he submitted the pf fer of a client to exchange her property, namely D.L. 1094 N.E.

Baseball Playing on hiahon Park last Tuesday West Van lost a free- hitting contest to the Elks by one run".the rinal count'emg zi to 10. West Van secured 8 runs'n the first inning, which should have been enough to win the ball game, but Elks came right back in their half to score four and added three more in the fourth. Outside of these two iiuungs both teams played good ball Last night the West Van boys played at Lynn Valley and on Tuesday will be at home to Am- bleside. These two teams will probably meet again on Thurs- day in a postponed game so that the home folks will have a good chance to size up its two local teams. FAMOUS "GREEN GODDESS" NOIV A TALKIE The all-talking production of "The Green Goddess," the first Vitaphone picture which George Arliss made for Warner Bros., is coming to the Lonsdale Thea- tre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, special matinee Wednesday at 8:46. The stage version of this fam- ous Arliss success was followed closelv with the addition of a number of spectacular exteriors impossible on the more limited legitimate stage. These repre- sent the wild and little known country of Northern India and Tibet near the Himalaya hioun- tains and a rocky desolate spot high above sea level The San Fernando Valley wss chosen as an ideal location for these shoto'Ir. Arliss, in playing the fam- ous role of the suave, cut-throat Rajah famous for many years now, is ably assisted by a splen- did east, including Alice Joyce H. B. Warner snd Ralph Forbes. Alfred E. Green 'directed and the screen play was written by Juben Josephson from hi illiam Archer's onginal story "Easy payments" are in the same class with "painless extrac- tiona."
