"What are you studying, my boy?" he asked. "Arithmetic and geography," answered the boy. AAnd what are you learn'lng in arithmetic?" 'I'he boy thought for a min- ute, and then replied, "Guzints."

Ask for Gerry D«nt THE WEST VAN NEWS J P.T.A. At the regular meeting of the West Vancouver Parent- 'I'eachers Association, held in Pauline Johnson School last Tuesday evening, the members enjoyed an especially interesting adliress by Miss Helen Stewart. for several years city librarian uf Victoria, and now engaged in a tive-year library experiment in the Fraser Valley, Miss Stewart, after speaking of the good be- ginning made in the establish- ment of school libraries ia the early days of the settlement of Ontario, days when the library wss regarded as a cultural center for the community, stressed the changed attitude towards read- ing which has made the once adequate library no longer suited to the needs of its circle of read- ers. Reading is no longer the art or pastime of 8 privileged few, but a social necessity, a means of commurication without which the diverse elements of a com- munity, 8 country, or an empire, cannot think together, work to- gether, or act together. This diversity of race, of stndards, of ideals and traditions, found in even the smallest community, makes imperative a common centre where the best of our cultural heritage may be gather ed together to form a back- ground of common standards and ideals. Supplementing this im- portant need, Miss Stewart pointed out that books also con- tributed to the development of the individual, providing a more spacious environment for those hampered by the social short- comings of the community in which they live, snd aiding in the formation of intelligent pub- lic opinion. In the latter part of her ad- dress hiiss Stewart spoke of the project now being carried out by the Carnegie Foundation in the Fraser Valley, a project which has as one of its principal aims the investigation of the reading needs of a rural community. Somewhat briefly she told of the organization of the work and of the great interest which it has aroused in the valley, stressing the fact that the wide scope of the project increased its ability to minister to the varied needs of the communities in which lib- rary centres have been establish- ed. Enjoyable contributions to the musical program were given by MITL Froud and Mrs. Wilson, and routine business occupied the re- mainder of the evening.

The hardy bulbs, such as the Hyacinths Narcissi Daffodils Snowdrops, Scillas, Crocuses and such, bring color and delight to shady corners. It frequently happens, however, that in such locations they will not prosper beyond the first two years, and this will necessitate replacement if this brightness is to be main- tained. Tulips too, can be em- ployed with fine effect. Any of these bulbs may be planted any- time up until freezing weather, with the exception of the daffo- dils which require 8 longer per- uod of growth and should be put in as soon as they can be obtain- ed. Columbines are favorites for withstanding shady unpromising conditions, and will yield an airy lightness that will belie their lo- cah!on. They do even better in 8 brighter location, so surely they will have a place in your garden. Practically all of the above plants will do equally well, if not better, in places where they get 8 fair amount of sunshine, but because they are particularly ad- aptable for use where selection is small they are very often cred- ited with being suitable only for such locabions as are too shady and dark for anything elsfsdo grow. It isn't quite fair to shoot them so. If your back porch is in shade most of the day and you are de- sirous of having it vine covered a Clematis paniculata wull solve the difficulty. It will thrive as long as it gets even a little sun- shine, preferably in the morning. For the spaces that are entire- ly without sunshine all the day why not follow nature's way of providing green in the dense woods of the coast, by planking hardy ferns. If you wish these may be secured from the woods, taking up with them quite 8 quantity of leaf mold they are so partial to. Lily of the valley may be interspersed with them and their fascinating bloom will burst forth before the new fronds of the fern unfold. That beautiful shrub Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolis) does well, and stays green in dense shade, but requires some sunshine in order to bear blossoms. The Rhodo- dendron (Rhododendron maxi- mum) will bloom profusely in shady locations if 8 supply of leaf mold is kept available for it and a liberal supply of water is given during the dry season. The supply of leaf mold should not be neglected if a thrifty healthy plant is desired, as most of the food elements required by this acid loving plant are contained in these dead leaves. Pansies also thrive in partial shade, especially the tufted pan- sies or vjolas. The English daisy the Japanese aneomne, the fall- blooming sedum, and the various forms of hardy phlox will fill in C.l'.R. SURVEYING ROUTES TO COAST SALLY AT THE HOLLYBURN THEATRF. "Sally" is the picture tonight and tomorrow (Saturday) at the Hollyburn Theatre, with Marilyn Miller, Joe E. Brown ami other stars in the caste. Reviewers fairly tumbled over themselves in their hurry to say nice things about this picture. It is 8 wonderful and beautiful pic- ture, full of real comedy and sur- prises, and is all in color. Some people find colored pictures hard on the eyes. For this reason the stage 'has been illuminated in such 8 way as to do away with any noticeable flicker.

Tes made with boiling milk instead of water is excellent for invalids snd helpful to those who are trying to put on weight.

Tolmie roused his audience to enthusiasm when he addressed the annual meeting of the Saan- ich Conservative Association on Tuesday evening, In respect of the Peace River country he said that the senior officisis of the Canadian Pacific Railway were enthusiastic over the possibilities of the area, and that the company had several surveying parties in the fiekl ex. amining possible outlets to the ~oar )a s kind of pcsotkaf foadonuy 11 fs a doubt of oor owo auroogtb.
