Ten regular and three speci- al meetings have been held, with an average attendance of twenty members. The chapter reports forty-four members and two Primary Life Members. The year opened with 8 bank balance of 36.91. Proceeds for the year have amounted to 31,281.30, with 8 balance on hand of 31.61. 1Vest Vancouver is somewhat olated from Greater Vancou- er, geographically, and conse- quently the chapter's work is more or lees localized, Notwith- standing the chapter has been pleased to assist the Municiyal Chapter with the following pro- jectsr Hospital Host; Work in India; Alexandria Orphanage; Imperial Veterans; Trophy for Indian Corp; Gifts for Lady Wil- lingdon and Miss MacKenzie; Convention Fund; Child Wel- fare; Province Santa Claus Fund. Locally the chapter has done a great deal of work through the Child Welfare Committee. Hun- dreds of garments have been distributed, rent paid, fuel and food provided, dental work paid for, and 117 children made happy by gifts of toys at Xmas. They assisted the Elks with Xmas hampers, and have on hand a fund to help furnish a baby ward in Pender Harbor Hospital. The amount spent on this phase of the work has been 3121.42. The Memorial Arch in West Vancouver is the chapter's speci- al care, and this year the Monu- ment has been further improved by having a suitable inscription cut into the stone. A public service was held on Armistice Day, when many individuals and organizations presented floral tributes, among them a laurel and poppy wreath from the chapter. A wreath was also placed there on September 28th, in memory of Duncan Lawson, after whom the chapter is amed. The Hospital Committee is al- ways 8 very active one. Regular visits to Shaughnessy hospital were carried on throughout the year, and treats of flowers, fruit, candies, cigarettes and even hot cross buna taken, Two concerts and a whist drive were arranged and assistance given to the an- nual garden fetes, and garden party held at Killarary and in the Shaughnessy hospital grounds. Visits were made to Essondale, Marpole, and the Vancouver General hospital. A total expenditure of 393.77 is shown for hospital work. Interest has been maintained 'n the Navy League, and thehspter had the pleasure of ent- ertaining at the garden party held in July, Mr. Wade and sev- eral of his officers and sea- cadets. The chapter also assist- ed in the entertainment of the sailors from the Dauntless, Dis- patch and Vancouver, during their stay in Vancouver. The educational activities of the chapter were varied. The literature received ss co- operative members of the League of Nations, was regularly placed in the library of the high school; violin lessons were obtained for an orphan of a veteran; 44 cal- endars were placed In the schools and halls of West Van- couver, and an article on Em- pire Day, culled from the I.O. D.E. payer, Echoes, was read and explained to the children on Empire Day--the last school day before May 24th. One of the delightful events of the yasr was the presentation of prizes to the entrance classes in the public and high schooL So great was the enthusiasm aroused that not only were the I.O.D.E. prizes well won, but indirectly it was the means of bringing to West Vancouver, for the first time, the much coveted Gover- nor General'8 medal. This is a worth-while work which the chapter hopes to enlarge upon. The chapter has exhibited 8 real community spirit by assist- ing the Canadian Legion toward the furnishing of their new hall; the North Vancouver Red Cross and the flnal payment was made on the chapter's private ward in the North Vancouver General Hospital, In the previous years the chapter has assisted with the Poppy Day Relief Fund, but this year an Auxiliary to the Canadian Legion has been form- ed and they have assumed full control. Since our last report, our be- loved treasurer and valued mern ber Mrs. Burton-Forster, has been called hence, and the chap- ter mourns with many friends, her passing. This chapter is affiliated with the League of Nations, Child Welfare Centre, and has a rep- resentative on the I.O.D.E. Com- mittee of Immigration. Finances for the various int- erests of the chapter have been secured by means of dances, garden parties, bridges, a very successful play, many donations and a Talent Fund. The chapter has always sup- ported all efforts towards Emp- ire trade, the control of the film industry and the creating of a greater demand for British films and world peace. Following are the officers for the coming year: Hon. Regent, Mrs. John Law- son; Regent, Mrs. Bernard Hay- es; Hon. 1st Vice Regent, Mrs. A. A. Almas; 1st Vice Regent, Mrs, E. J.

THE WEST VAN NEWS ESIPIRE DAY Preparations are being made for the West Vancouver boys and girls celebrations on the 24th of May. The P.-T. A. com- . mittee in charge of the arrange- ments is as follows: Chairman, T. E, W. Russell; Secretary, J. R. Mitchell; Treasurer, K. A. Ray. Committee: Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Gleed, Mrs, Sharmsn and J. E. Condon. The P.-T.A. is determined that the success of this year's pro- gram shall be even greater than last year. The relay race trophy le now held by the Pauline John- son School, but the Hollyburn boys have made up their minds that they will take it from them this year and the High School boys, some of whom ran in the Public School teams last year, intend walking off with the cup themselves, so there is likely to be 0 very keen contest. The six boys of the winning team will each receive a small cup. The Ferry staff have the honor of being the flrst this year to don- ate one of these six cups. The ladies on the committee There will also be the usual fancy dress competitions of the parade, which will include 8 dec- orated fioat. There will be a Maypole and folk dancing in charge of Miss M. Wilson and Miss Helen Ritchie. Another interesting event will be a model aeroplane contest. The West Vancouver boys club have already made a record of three minutes for a model in the air. are in charge of the various races. The High School Students's- sociation is to be asked to take charge of the refreshments with the advice and assistance of K. Ray. But West Vancouver will get the greatest surprise of its life when it listens for the first time to its own School Band of sixty pieces marching at the head of the parade. Reeve J. B. Leyland in his usual enthusiastic manner is go- ing to assist in every possible way to make this for the kiddies 0 Red Letter day in the history of West Vancouver.

NEWS The Old Count y is apparentl) waking up to the need of 0 P.-T. A. movement there. Sir Benja- min Gott has written an article in the London Daily Mail entitl- ed "Parents Must Help the Schools." I have clipped a few of the following paragraphs from the article: "Education is 0 partnership and the most important of the partners is after all the parent." "The School cannot afford to neglect the parent. The home cannot afford to neglect the teacher. The nation today needs and needs badly, all the charact- er that the children hold in store for it. We want to rear citizens whose lives shall be useful and beautiful, and, if we would each of us but concentrate on making as perfect as we can the habits and intelligence of each of the children committed to our care, we should not need to worry a- bout the result on the nation." Sir Benjamin finishes his article with the advice to form an association similar to our own P»T, A. T, E. W. Russell is of the opinion that, if we'are to give our children the education re- quired to tackle and solve the social problems that are such 0 menace to us, it is very neces- sary that we have the intelligent and friendly co-operation of parents, teachers and school authorities.
