The West Vancouver Com- munity Players sre to be sin- cerely congratulated on their presentation of "The Thirteenth Chair." Hollyburn Theatre was crowd- ed for both nights of the shaw, and the interest of the audience was held from the beginning to the end of the performance. Miss Joan Durbin as Rosalie La Grange wss the temperamental medium and fortune telkr, and Miss Sybil Chapman ss Helen O'eill acted to perfection the part of s girl unspoiled by an education above her birth and face to face with a diificult situ- ation. Mrs. A. G. Eastman was quite natural as a lady of wealth and station. Guy Desmond was pel'feet ss the detective deter- mined at all costs to make the murderer confess, and his broth- er, Sidney, as the culprit, was equally good. James Holt'0 in- terpretation of a man bent on bringing to justice the murderer of his friend was done very well indeed, and P. C. Chapman gave a faithful reproduction of the wealthy Englishman at grips with an inexplicable murder committed in his home, as also did Murray Watson as a young man taken oif his feet at finding his fiancee accused of murder.Gnso)o~m~~d vssosti the part of a detective sergeant very acceptably, as did hIrs. Gor- on Gray as Mary Eastwood. The remainder of the cast gave ex- cellent support throughout and supplied the necessary atmo- sphere. The diificult lighting eifects were well taken care of by the West Vancouver Electric Co. and the City Electric Co., while the dresses supplied by the Margar- et T. Dresses Co. and the coif- feures by the Gwendolyn Beauty Shoppe materially assisted in the success of the performance. It is understood that the proceeds, which go to the Duncan Lawson Chapter, I.O.D.E., for welfare work in West Vancouver, will be materially in excess of the a- mount realized last year from «Tilly of Bloomsbury." Chiei'atthias of the Cspilano Indians, same before the council on Monday evening asking for their moral support of his project to establish a model Indian village south of Marine Drive at Capilsno. He has already taken up the matter with the federal authorities in Ottawa and with the Indian Agent. The council expressed their hearty approval of the plan pro- vided it met with the approval also of the Indian Agent and the work itself was done to the satisfaction of the municipal engineer. It is our sincere wish that Chief Matthias will be suc- cessful in accomplishing the task he has set out to do. For him it will be a labor of love, because the village will show the life of his people as it was lived before the white man came, snd will be in addition a museum of Indian implements and 9,'weapons with which his race maintained their existence in the old days when they were the only inhabitants of this Pacific coast. The vanishing Indian! What a wealth of romance and sadness is contained in those three words. For there wss a romance in the life of the Indian to wh ch our present machine- made existence is a stranger,and there is always sadness in the thought of a race which is passing away. If there was at times war between the Indian tribes, it was at least conflict clean of the vile gases and mechanical contrivances which made the Great War a disgraceful and s horrible thing. For the rest life was one long picnic. Fish and game were plentiful, and, although the Indian knew little of comfort as we understand the term, he was inured to hard- ship and thought nothing of it. No one can listen to sn Indian orator speaking of the world of nature as he conceives it or read the poems of Pauline Johnson without feeling that much of the beauty and the romance of life on this continent passed with the advent and dominance of the white man. The Indian, indeed, lived with s full appreciation of the world of nature and its beauties. The white man r)ives only for .what nature can give him in ghe"a!t(FW)Pa«su «ssu ther?Imm(H~RPCII(y j)fiyehttstm And so we again wish Chief Matthias the very best of success in the very worthy project he has undertaken. Not only will a model Indian village be of much value from an edu- cational standpoint, but it will be a great attraction to the many summer tourists who will pass along Marine Drive on their way to Garibaldi Park. SI COireD VARROV08 BRIDGE REGULATIONS Acknowledging a letter from the North Vancouver City Coun- cil with reference to shipping regulations at Second Narrows bridge, Hon. H. H Stevens in- formed the North Vancouver council Monday night that he had referred the matter to the department of marine. Deputy Minister of hfarine A. Johnston enquired into the ques- tion and s copy of his reply to Mr. Stevens was received by the City Council. «I have looked up the matter of regulations governing naviga- tion through Second Narrows bridge," said Mr. Johnston. "Regulations have been in exis- tence governing the movement of vessels through the bridge, but whether these have been proper Aegulations k a matter about which there will always be some doubt." %4)- Ih« set of regulations approved by the Vancouver Harbor Commie- sion and sent to Ottawa about a year agoiu "The regulations as forwarded by the commissioners received the attention of the technical of- ficers of the department and a memorandum was drawn up sug- gesting some slight modification of these," said the deputy min- ister. Mr. Johnston then explained that the memorandum was for- warded to the Harbor Commis- sion on November 3 last and the commissioners replied they had discussed the matter with the minister while on his visit to Vancouver and that it would be further considered by the min- ister upon his return to Ottawa. Shortly after this a commis- sion was appointed, under the chairmanship of the chief eng- ineer of the department of mar- ine, to enquire into the whole question of the Second Narrows bridge. The question of shipping regulations was referred to it, but Mr. Johnston said: "It does aot appear that any action was taken or was recommended to be taken by the commission. We are asking the Harbor Commis- sioners again to for)sard their comment upon the memorandum submitted to them in November last with reference to the regu- lations," concluded hir. John- ston. Senator A. D. McRae acknow- ledged receipt of a copy of the resolution passed at the recent mass-meeting here to discuss Second Narrows bridge prob- lems. )VORE ON GARIBALD HIGHWAY PROCEEDING There is considerable activity iB.C00nection. eglth the building of the Garibaldi Highway from Horseshoe Bay to Squamsh.

The whole project from Horse- shoe Bay to Squamish is in charge of Engineer hiilne, who, it will be remembered, supervis- ed the construction of the new Capilano bridge and of the new driveway on Marine Drive. ADVERTISING J Modern advertising is the result of modern competition in business. Two hundred years ago there was no such thing as advertising in the present sense of the word, for our western civilization was then one of small businesses, and there was little competition A family conducted one kind of business in one particular town for generation after generation, and the family's name and their business were synonimous terms in that district. In the bazaars of the east today the owners sit and wait for the customers to come to them. They don't believe in going out after business because the weather is very frequently very hot, and God is good, moreover who can escape fate? Thus the Oriental, who, however, doesn't allow fate to take any hand when it comes to a prospective sale. Our forefathers were great advertisers, too, in their own way, but they paid for it in lives and arrested motion instead of money. Think of those old business men who for generation after generation stayed in the same town, worked all their lives in the same shop, until, as we stated above, a family' name and business became synonimous terms. They advertised and paid for it heavily. Modern competition has done away with all that, and in so doing made it more necessary to advertise than ever. Life is one grand rush, and people have only time to glance at what is placed before them. A firm can even have been in the same line for hundreds of years, but their name will be quickly for- gotten unless they keep their name before the public by sys- tenatic advertising in that admittedly best medium, the news- paper. Advertising is a matter of psychology, and therefore its results cannot be exactly traced out and measured over a certain period or district, as some seem to expect. For instance there are many who come into a store by reason of its adver- tisements, but omit to say so. At the same time, in the long run it pays to advertise There is a road. a very short road, and it is the shortest cut to the bankruptcy court. The public do not use it, because they do not know of its existence, for it is lined with Arms who do not advertise. This newspaper has been issued every week for a number of years. We believe it has fulfilled snd is fulfilling a real need in the community, and in any case it is generally acknowledged in business today that s local newspaper ls worth a consider- able sum per year to the district it serves. The West Van News, like every other newspaper is main- tained by its advertisers, Without advertising there can be no paper. Therefore, if you like to read it and the local news it contains, please don't forget that you are doing so by favor of those Arms who advertise in its columns,and so render its publication passible. They stand behind their (toads, and are deserving of your support. We ask you to consider them Arst when you are making your purchases. SCOTTISH SOCIETY TO GIVE PROGRESSIVE WHIST The West Vancouver Scottish Society is giving a progressive whist drive and dance tomor- row (Saturday) at 8 p.m. in the Clachan hotel.
