Skflng on the ridge is now at its very best. Last week-end saw the largest crowd of hikers so far this season. The Grouse Mountain Ski Clubs were large- ly represented for a cross-coun- try run between the several clubs. Skiiers who have com- peted In many other countries claim that the Hollyburn plateau is a real winter paradise. Snow conditions on the ridge are the best to be hsd anywhere. It is not so cold ss to make the crust dangerously icy, nor is the snow so fin that skis go too deep. Fur sticky snow there are waxes to keep your skis from clogging. Competitions are arranged for every week-end on Hollyburn Ridge during the season, ending May 1st.

Mr. Kenneth Rscey was the speaker at the meeting of the P.-T.A. which was held in the Pauline Johnson School on Tues- day night. The subject, "Small Animals of British Columbia," an interesting one in itself, was made doubly interesting by Mr. Racey in his chat, rather than lecture, about the birds and an- imals which he knows so well. Lantern slides illustrating his remarks showed many curious habits and haunts of the birds and animals of B.C. But per- haps even more interesting than the slides wss Mr. Rscey's col- lection of stuffed specimens of the creatures themselves. From his collection he showed the most industrious bird in B.Ch a very small bird which built a very large nest; then came the most beautiful bird in B.Ch then the most cantankerous, which some of us were surprised to learn was the humming-bird. Altogether, everybody listened attentively and could only with difficulty be recalled from the specimens to attend to the asso- ciation business of the evening.

They have a number of advantages over per- ennials. They usually bloom over a longer period of time. They also provide s ready means of changing the garden around and in many cases, particularly where the premises are rented and the length of stay may be cut short, they will provide one with a colorful garden at a small expense. The smallest size pack- et obtainable will provide one with all the seeds necessary for any one variety. If one so de- sires the seed may be saved each season and planted the next year. In choosing your annuals for the garden, consideration should be given to whether or not, the plants which will be produced are hardy, half hardy or tender. Most packets of seeds indicate this. The hardy annuals are those which may be planted quite early or about the same time as you would plant garden peas. The half hardy may be planted about the same time as potatoes, while the tender sorts should not be planted until ail possibility of frost is psst. The more tender ones may be started in the cold frame if you wish to get sn early start. Before starting out to buy your seeds we would suggest that you spend an hour or so going over your garden, have a note book with you and mark down the kind of flowers you would like in certain locations. Your garden or part of it may already have some perennials in it and you would like to add some more color to that part. cea S bed ol Le ds p Ac blnete aad sheol Led ceps Sw la . This can easily be accomplished by the use of annuals. Or, again there may be a part of the gar- den which should be screened from view. A few of the taller growing annuals will serve the purpose nicely. All of these questions should be settled be- fore starting out to spend your hard earned money. There is of course no really hard and fast rule to follow in the choice of the annuals. Each part of the garden should receive its full consideration and we shall en- deavor in following articles to give you some idea of how to make your flower garden a de- lightful spot. Illness prevented us writing a garden article for the past two issues of the News.

It was the second students'ecital put on this season by the club, the vari- ous numbers, both vocal, instru- mental snd in elocution, being given by students. The latter acquitted themselves well, some giving really excellent perform- ances, and generally the rendi- tion of the various items on the program was better than at the previous students'ecital. The Musicians'lub will give their seventh and last recital of the season next month.
