V J WEI.CO!IIE TO OUR VISITORS Tomorrow West Vancouver will be host to two hundred jack tars of the British Navy, come here from the West Indies as part of the crews of H.hf.S. Despatch and H.M.S. Dauntless. There is to be an aquatic gala at Dundarave pier in the afternoon, and following supper various forms of enter- tainment have been arranged for the pleasure of our visitors, during the evening. Sailors sre usually popular wherever they go, and none more so than the O.D.'s of the senior service. The sea is a rough old mother, broad, deep bosomed, stormy tempered, and as a natural result she breeds men. Little souldi and little minds don't go down to the ses in ships--at any rate for very long. It is impossible to look day after day and year after year on the vast expanses of the seas and witness the power of raging storms without in some sort being broadened by a Q )realization of man's insigniflcance. We of Greater Vancouver, a great port, should know how to welcome and how to appreciate the men who make it pos- sible for our ships to pass unmolested on their lawful occasions over the seven seas. Occasionally, our guardians come to this port, when as strangers in a strange city they are dependent largely for any enjoyment they may get on the hospitality of our citizens. This is the first time we in West Vancouver have been asked to entertain any officers or men of the British navy. Let there be no doubt about our welcome! Let us ofter the hand of real fellowship to them, and make the few hours they will be with us stand out from among the many welcomes given them in other ports and other places l They are not likely to forget IVest Vancouver's natural beauty. May our welcome be such that they will carry away equally pleasant memories of ourselves, the people who live there.

Police Constables Bell and Shepherd took charge of McCor- mack. He was cared for at the Ambleside Tea Rooms and was sufficiently recovered by the evening to proceed to his home.

The verdict also made the sug- gestion "that the Harbor Com- mis!on enforce any rules and reg- ulations regarding vessels enter- ing the Lions Gate st an exces- sive speed and that persons hir- ing boats be warned of the dang- er existing in and around the I'irst Narrows while flshing." The evening cruise up Howe Sound on Ferry No, 6, has been cancelled. IVEST VAN. TO HAVE MAIL DELIVERY AND NEW I'OST OFFICE Thanks to the efforts of Gen- eral A. D. McRae a mail delivery it is nnnounced by Reeve Ley- land, will shortly be established in West Vancouver, and a federal appropriation for a new post of- fice will be included in the esti- mates to be brought dovin in Ottawa early next year. Plans for this building are now being prepared. The West Vancouver board of trade started the agitation for n house to house delivery over toro years ago and they and Gen- eral McRae have been agitating for it ever since. During the last few months, the reeve and council joined in ihe light, which has just been brought io such a successful conclusion. Before house to house delivery can be established, it will be necessary to have name signs erected at ihe corners of the streets. Householders will also have to have their houses num- bered and letter slots cut in their front doors or receptacles made for letters. viREEVE I.EYI.AND ASKS FOR CITIZENS'UPPORT An event, unique in the his- -tory of West Vancouver, will tqke place orhoSaturdap, when the 'itizens will 7ie hosts to t»'o hunt dred men of the Royal Navy. Many of our local organizations snd private individuals have per- fected arrangements to give the boys a rousing welcome, and everything possible has been arranged for their entertain- ment. May I make a personal appeal to all citizens for their support of the eiforts that have been made on behalf of our vis- itors, and to express the wish that homes and places of busi- ness be decorated with flags and bunting. Let us make Saturday a gala-dsy, and one long to be remembered! J. B, LEYLritND, Reeve.
