M I S N &Ice i Lcms~ S I &I« This year for the first time since the Garden Column was started we took time off to have a vacation without having a thing to think about. However, fiowers and trees have not been out of our thoughts by any means. We visited a couple of the National Parks and while it wss late for the Alpine flowers we got a lot of pleasure out of examining their foliage Since our return to regular workaday life we have been going over the various seed catalogues with a view to deciding on the fall bulbs and seeds. In our search we came across a poem by Edgar A. Guest tucked away in one corner of a cat- alogue. Perhaps some of our readers are familiar with it, but for the benefit of those who are not, we are taking the liberty of printing it in the column. It is entitled "The Plants and the Blossoms Are Here." -- WEST VANCOUVER BOARD OF SCHOOI TRUSTEES-- Night Classes Wifl Start on Tuesday, October 6th.

"I paid a dime for a package of seeds, And the derk tossed them out with a flip. We'e got 'em assorted for everyman's needs, He said with a smile on his lips. Pansies and Poppies and Asters and Peas- Ten cents a package! And pick as you please!" "Now seeds are just dimes to the msn in the store, And the dimes are the things that he needs; And I'e been to buy them in season before, But have thought of them merely as seeds. But it flashed through my mind as I took them this time- "You have purchased a miracle here for s dime!" "You'e a dime's worth of power which no man can create, You'e a dime's worth of life in your hand! You'e a dime's worth of mystery, destiny, fate, Which the wisest cannot understand. In this bright little package--now isn't it odd?-- You'e a dime's ivorth of something known only to God!" "These sre seeds, but the plants and the blossoms are here With their petals of various hues; In these little pellets, so dry and so queer, There is power which no chemist can fuse. Here is one of God's miracles soon to unfold-- Thus for ten cents an ounce is Divinity sold." The next time you purchase a packet of seed think over Edgar A. Guest's poem. I know we will and we will enjoy the pleasures of gardening more. THE WEST VAN NEWS CLLSIBS FORBIDI)EN P!.ATEAU Climbing five or six thousand feet above sea level to do the job. an inspector of the Domin- ion Department of Fisheries planted 200,000 trout eggs in lakes on the Forbidden Plateau of Vancouver Island this sum- mer in the course of the depart- ment's work in maintaining snd improving the fish stocks of the country. And when he got up to some of the lakes he found that they stil! held ice and snow, even though the time was June. More snow was clinging to the moun- t&un sides near by, some of it pinkinsh in color, at that. Adding a bit more variety to the party's experience was the appearance of a large bear and several cube when the inspector and his helpers reached Amphi- theatre Lake, one of the waters to be seeded. "A large black bear, with two cube, stood on the edge of the iske when we ar- rived," says the inspector's re- port to the department, obut upon seeing us they retreated slowly up the side of the moun- tain." In addition to planting Kam- loops trout eggs in McPhee, Most, Amphitheatre, and Sun- rise lakes, the inspector while on the plateau also examined other waters which had been seeded by the department in 1929, and here he found trout of good size plentiful. indian Legend Ancient Indian legend ILecribes some sinister qualities to For- bidden Plateau, and hence its name, but the white man knows it as s wild but beautiful part of British Columbia, dotted with attractive lakes. Here, for sev- eral years past, the department has carried on part of its fish culture program, stocking the waters with eggs from one or other of the hatcheries which it maintains in the province, so that in this way the angling re- sources of the territory may be improved. HUNT SEA LIONS TO PROTECT B. C. SALMON Carrying out the annual hunt for sea lions, which do much harm in the British Columbia fishery, the fisheries vessel Giv- enchy accounted for 1,367 lions on this summer's cruise to the rookeries st the Virgin and Pearl Rocks. In 1930 the number of lions killed was 1,068. The pur- pose of these yearly hunts is not the extermination of the sea lion herds but their control so that the injury done the salmon fishery may not become too great. At the Virgins 1,286 lions were shot on the 1930 cruise and at Pearl Rocks, 71. Seven land- ings in all were made by men from the Givenchy. Other land- ings were prevented by fog and rough weather. The official report of the cruise, which has been made to the Dominion Department of Fisheries, is to the effect that there was a dearth of yearling and two-year old lions. There were more lions on the Pearl Rocks than in 1930. At the com- mencement of this year's opera- tions fewer lions than last year were seen on the Virgins, but there was a constant arrival of newcomers. Pearl Rocks lions were much wilder than those on the other rookery. In two in- stances members of the landing parties were charged by lions, but they escaped injury Fishermen and canners report ed that the damage from sea lions in itivers Inlet last year was the heaviest in recent years. They put the blame on large col- onies of lions that infest the Haycock Islands. Landing parties from the Giv- enchy were twice attacked by the sea lions they were out to destroy, but escaped without in- jury. iv VL THE BI'IIINING BUSH By Itubadar A mere msn feels bound to protest at the frightful headgear which fashion has decreed as the latest for women. This type of hst has a pheasant-like sp- p&arance, and any woman wear- ing one reminds the onlooker of that l&ird. Now nature always carries out the tout ensemble in her various creations, an&I therefore a pheasant is a very beautiful bird. But the female form divine crowned with a pheasant's head is s distinct in- congruity. One hears that bustles are due for another run. They are enough, it msy be remarked, to make anybody run, and may have been responsible for some of the horse runaways that char. acterized the Victorian period which they helped to make hide- ous. One looks at old photos of women who lived then and shud- ders. Woman has espoused the hat. We can only hope she will spare the men the pain of the bustle. One hardly expects to find humor in an English Church magazine, but the following is part of the actual report taken verbatim of a London rector's talk on his experiences: "I'e looked down the list. They have helped me every time. I feel rather like the boy who after having twelve pieces of cake at the school treat says to the vicar, 'Please carry me out snd don't bend me."e been 20 years in South London and I'e always been dependent on the Fund. Once I worked in a parish where there were only three bathrooms of which the clergy had two. Then the great day of my life came and I went to St. Chrysostom'2, Peckham. I re- call my first Sunday morning. There were three people at church to see what the new vicar was like, and they gave 6&/zd. That was a good start. The col- lections during the previous year had amounted to 23, 42. 2d. so there was no great balance to rely upon, The first question was as to where I should live, and I decided upon the old, very old, parish halL I put my bed in one corner, my books in an- other, snd used one of the re- maining corners for the kitchen. But this did not work. The rats would come and play with the potatoes st night and I found it difficult to sleep so I took an empty public house. There was a great deal to be said for it because the people became so friendly and came to see me. It said on the door 'Push, Public Bar,'nd they were not a bit . nervous. I was perfectly frank with them for I placed on the window 'This establishment is under entirely new manage- ment." Anyhow they came to see me, and I was glad. They were great days. There was a cellar under the old bar, and that we used as a bathroom. Fifty kiddies came in every night, and we squirted them with water. But to go back to the church. On my first ihlonday a man met me in the street and said 'Guvu nor do yer want anyone to stoke yer church fire.' said 'I shall, there hasn't been a fire in church for 20 years, but when the South London Church Fund gives us one you shall stoke it and for love.' often think of that church without a fire, and I re- member how I wished there had been a jolly big one a week be- fore I moved in." The best is yet to come. I hope to give it in my next ef- fusion. Spiced Grape Jelly Crush and strain the juice of grapes that are turned but not ripe.
