Only those who as officers of the Association have the work of getting up these annual lioral exhibitions--this is the seventh--can realize the amount of work entailed in their pre- paration.. It is a labor of love, for it is all done voluntarily, but it is a very important work for West Vancouver, because through the efforts of the Association in sponsoring and in- culcating a love of flowers by exhibitions and otherwise our district has become celebrated for its beautiful gardens. Many men and nearly all women love flowers, and therefore it is hardly necessary to stress the etfects of all this in bringing in new residents into the municipality. It is true, of course, that West Vancouver by virtue of its soil snd climate and natural situation is peculiarly adapted for successful floricult- ure, but nevertheless it cannot be denied that due largely to the Horticultural Association our residents have taken full advant- age of their opportunities, As in previous years there is a long prize list. Prizes will be given for small fruits, vegetables, roses, collections of flow- ers and a decorative section. Special prizes will also be awarded for the best garden, the best utility garden, and in addition there is a challenge cup for the best dressed store window. A number of prizes have been provided as well for West Van- couver boys and girls, who have a section all to themselves in a number of lines, Send in your entries to the Secretary not later than this evening at 9 o'lock--exhibits must be in by 10 a. m. tomorrow --and by so doing help to make the show the best and largest ever given, or, if you cannot exhibit, at least come snd swell the large crowd which is sure to be evn hand at Dundarave Hall tomorrow afternoon and evening. The B.C. i)tlusical Festival Now that the B. C. Musical Festival for 1930 is over and the smoke of the battles has died sway, we can sit and take etock of just what West Vancouver has done this year. It has taken truly a notable part. West Vancouver has always done well in these festivals, but this festival has seen our music loving residents enter in such numbers and win so many prizes as to have drawn the particular attention of the Van- couver critics on the exceptional merits of their performances. The most important victory, of course, because a matter of choir against choir, was that of the Dundarave Ladies'hoir under the leadership of Mrs. F. X. Hodgson, by which they won the "Royal City" cup over the Victoria Ladies'nd the Welsh Ladies'hoirs, both of whom had beaten them in Victoria. They were the recipients of a very favorable ad- judication, and our heartiest congratulations are due to Mrs. F. X. Hodgson and all of them for the fine showing they made. In the big contest the West Vancouver Choral Society, under their new leader, J. Haydn Young, made an excellent showing, but were beaten for first place by the Bach Choir of Vancouver. Their chances of coming first were considerably lessened by the fact of being the last on a program which went on until long after midnight. The list of individual successes is a long and a distinguished one, particulars of which are as follows: Beatrice Hodgson and Hazel Brealey, silver medals in pianoforte duet under 16; Rex Rhodes and Beatrice Hodgson, silver medals in violin duet under 19; Beatrice Hodgson, second place certificate in violin solo under 16; all pupils of Miss Margaret Mclntyre: Margaret Rankine, Eleanor Chilton, medallists, and Mrs. C. Donshoe and Joan Durbin, second place certificates in ladies duets; Dundar- ave Ladies'uartette No. 1; Mesdames F. Froud, Gordon Gray, Nina Gray and F. Burling, second place certificates and the No. 2 Quartette--Margaret Rankine, Eleanor Chilton, Joan Durbin and Madge Farmer, third place certiilcates in ladies'uartettes;Marjorie Rivers, third place certificate in girls'ow voice; all pupils of Mrs. F. X, Hodgson: Betty Elliott, silver medallist in pianoforte under 14; Gertrude Nash, third place certificate in pianoforte under 12, and Mrs. G. J. McLennan, third place certilicate in pianoforte open, all pupils of Mrs. F. Knight Hedge. Grades 3 and 4 Pauline Johnson School, chal- lenge shield for children under 10 for folk dancing, all pupils of Miss Helen kitchie. In addition there were a large number of other candidates from West Vancouver, practically all of whom received high marks. This is a record for any place to be proud of, but especially so when it is considered that West Vancouver at present has not a very large population comparatively speaking, and was opposed by competitors from Greater Vancouver snd all over the province. It is one of the best advertisements our district has ever had and ss such the thanks of all of us are due to these teachers and their pupils who by unremitting care and eifort have held the name of West Vancouver high as a musical centre, Band Concert on Sunday Afternoon (By invitation of the Reeve and Council of West Vancouver) Salvation Army Citadel Band, Bandmaster A.

BENNETT, K.C„ Ol'ENS CAhiPAIGN FOR GE!bh A. D. hieRAE The Theatre Lonsdale was crowded on Monday evening, when Hon. R. B. Bennett, K.C., opened the campaign for General A. D. McRae. The meeting at which Lieut.-Colonel C. J. Len- nox presided, rose and cheered the Conservative leader to the echo as he appeared on the plat- form accompanied by his sister, Miss Mildred Bennett. Jack Loutet, Reeve Leyland, Mayor Morden and a number of other prominent Conservatives were also on the platform. Miss Bennett, who was pre- sented with a bouquet of flowers by Mrs. Colin F. Jackson, presi- dent of the )vernon's Conserva- tive Association, made a short speech urging the women voters of the North Shore to w(irk and vote for General McRae. Mr. Bennett opened a fighting speech by stressing the great work being done by General hic- Rae in Ottawa, which, while ben- efiting the Conservative party as a whole, prevented his being present to fight his own battles. Canada had been importing for years from the United States more than she exported. In 1929 she imported 8900,000,000 worth of goods, and sold 8450,000,000 worth of goods. Since 1921 she had losti appro Jbiateiy I,o09,00v). of her population to the United States. This loss of population was due to the policy of the pres- ent government in power from that time for not putting up a tariff wall behind which Canadi- ans could manufacture their own needs. It was the chief cause of the unemployment today. To control your own market first and export the surplus was the business principle at the back of all tariff walls. Every part of the Empire by looking after its own needs first, was in a stronger position to help the Empire. 'Cne only treaties he favored were those which con- ferred reciprocal benefits on both contracting parties, not for ex-V ample like the New Zealand treaty, which had ruined the Canadian dairy industry. We import 1200 ditferent com- modities, and the King govern- ment had now placed "counter- wailing" duties on 16 of them, none of which we manufactured. These new duties were manufac- tured in Washington, which Mr. King was afraid to'provoke. Unemployment was continent wide in Canada, though Mr. King thinks it is not the case. Mr. Bennett said it was the burning question of the day, and if re- turned to power, he would call parliament together at as early a date as possible to consider the provision of work, not dolce, for all who could and would work. Councils/to Discuss Transportation A letter was received by the council on Monday from the North Vancouver City council, asking for a joint meeting be- tween the two councils to dLv- cuss co-operation in the matter of trans-inlet and North Shore transportation. The matter was referred io the reeve and chair- man of ihe transportation to ar- range date, also date for meet- ing the Pacilic Stage inanage- ment.

I.IBERALS CHOOSE CANDIDATE Alfred Ernest Munn, former representative of Lillooet in the Legislature, was tendered the unanimous nomination of Van- couver North by a convention in K. P. Hall Tuesday evening. Mr. hiunn was nominated by Thomas Mills and George Hay. Only the one name was placed before the convention, which was of an en- thusiastic character and was at- tended by full quotas of dele- gates from all sections of the rid- ing. Mr. J. hl. Bryan, president of Vancouver North Federal Liber- al Association, wss in the chair and on the platform were Hon. J. H. King, Mr. Brenton S. Brown, first vice-president of Vancouver Central Liberal As- sociation; Mr. Simon Fraser, Mr. John Lawson, hir. J. Y. Mc- Naught, Dr. D. J. hiilier and hir. Bruce Watson. Following his nomination, Mr. Mann was loudly applauded as he proceeded to the platform. Introducing the Liberal candi- date, Mr. Bryan declared that hIr. Munn's election to the Fed- eral House would give North Vancouver an importance at Ot- tawa it never had before. In opening, bir. Munn extended congratulations to Hon. Dr. J. H. King upon his elevation to the she ieevndidaew- ~wived the convention for the honor con- ferred apon him. "I wasn't seek- ing this--I had hoped to the last that Mr. Dugald Donaghy would accept the nomination, but for business reasons he decided he could not accept. I will do all I can to win this election for you," said Mr. hfunn. "I inust, how- ever ask all to do as much as they can to bring victory. We have a real fight on our hands." hIr. hiunn briefly touched upon his activities in the Provincial Legislature, particularly for com- pletion of the P.G.E., and then predicted that a Peace River out- let would be provided soon and declared it would be a great bene- fit to North Vancouver The administration of the King government, the Dunning budget and the great Imperial Confer- ence that will be held in London this year, Dr. King cited as the three principles on which this election ought to be fought. Dr. King added that whea the Liberal Government went into power. the Meighen government faced a deficit of 880,000,000. In two years the Liberal Govern- ment had a surplus of 836.,000; 000, and he declared the surplus. es had been increasing from year to year and had been used to pay oif the national debt.
