It prefers 8 rather moist location. It is good for borders or cutting purposes. It spreads quickly from under- ground shoots and if not watched and cut back to conflne it, other nearby plants may be smothered 'ut. The Shssta Daisy grows to 8 height of from two to three f«et and has yellowwentered white flowers which appear in the summer or early fall. It will stand considerable sun and heat snd makes 8 good flower for cutting purposes 88 well as for border plantings. It is usually propogated by division of the roots. There are several varie- ties of the species. The hardy chrysanthemums are among the most successful of the hardy perennials for use on the coast. They do not do well in the East. Frequent waterings are desirable for this variety Chrysnnthemums There are several distinct types of Chrysanthemums, most of which are adapted to the sec- Uon of the country along the coast where there is ample moisture When planted in the interior of the province frequent waterings should be given, By frequent waterings we mean thoroughly soaked once or twice 8 week--not a little sprinkled on the ground each day. All of the various types will do well in any good garden soil, but respond greatly to extra care. The Painted Daisy or Pyre- thrum or, as it is frequently called, Feverfew, is one of the most popular. It grows to 8 height of from one to two feet, with a fine 'foliage that is at- tractive throughout the season. Its single red, pink or white flowers appear in early summer. The centers of the flowers are bright yellow. There are also the double and anemone flowered forms of the Painted Daisy. These are propogated from seed and do well in either sun or par- 'tial sha'de, but require a well- drained location, otherwise the crowns will rot during the win- ter. The Giant Daisy blooms in the SKI TOURNAMENT ON HOLLYBURN RIDGE Thirty members of the Van- couver Ski Club displayed their wares before 800 spectators st Hollyburn Ridge Sunday after- noon with an exhibition of jump- ing and racing in all classes. The trail was in good condition, the snow fast and weather ideal for the events, although the landing was hard in the jumps. Frank Jacobean covered the five-mile cross-country A Class distance in 37 min. 55 sec., to nose out Hansen, while Mickey Mitchell proved best to win the B Class race in 41 min. 17 sec., to place ahead of W. Baker and L. WiHisms. The men's novice race over a shorter course was won by Phil Surrey in 26 min. '15 sec., although it was closely contested by Syd Bornott and Gordon Knechtle. Bertha 'Haigh again proved her ability to win the A Class ladies'vent, covering the course in 19 min. 66 sec., while the B Class race went to Vivisn Arm- strong. The jumps showed fair form for the time of year, Hansen taking first place in the A event with 8 leap of 81 feet. Earl Young made the longest com- petitive jump of 95 feet, but was disqualified when he fell on his second attempt. Norm Kaldshl jumped 99 feet in an exhibition, 88 compared with the hill record of 108 feet. O. B, Osmundsen snd K. H. Grimsgsard.acted in the capa- city of judges, with Chris Engh, the club captain; C. Schroeter and G. Billingsley in charge of the events. R. J. Verne, dub president, took 8 short ski trip and witnessed the jumping. Be Salts: Ckss A--M o ucsms ....... Il Ill 00, SI n. 5SS Jscsipcs .... 01 Sl ~ Ill X Tcssg -- .. 05, It.

Illicscks ALL-CANADIAN PIIONE LINE OPENED Connecting the Pacifi and Atlantic coasts of Canada by all-Canadian telephone circuits for the first time in history, the trans-Canada telephone line was opened for service on Monday, January 25th. In the past all telephone traific between western and eastern Canada had to be routed by way of the United States. Now, by means of the new line, a faster and higher grade of service across this country, using only Canadian circuits, is available. Seven of the Dominion's prin- cipal telephone systems com- bined to make the new line pos- sible, each system doing the work through ils own territory. The B. C. Telephone Company'8 task was to string two new cir- cuits (four wires) on a new pole line over a route of 625 miles, from Vancouver to the Crow' Nest Pass on the Alberta boun- dary. The cost to the B. C. Telephone Company was in ex- cess of 31,000,000. His Excellency Earl Bess- borough, the Governor-General, of?iciated at the Dominion-wide opening ceremony, speaking from Ottawa. The inaugural message from British Columbia was delivered by His Honor Lieut.-Governor J. W. Fordham Johnson. The ceremony opened at 12 o'lock noon, Ottawa time. It was 9 8-m. on the Pacific Coast and I p.m. at Halifax, Nova Scotia. The opening signal was ithe striking of the chimes in the Victory Tower, Ottawa, followed by 8 roll call of the nine pro- vinces. The Governor-General wss the first speaker, and he was followed by representatives of each of the provinces, who spoke from the provincial capitals. "It is doubtful whether any- where else on this continent a stretch of pole line has been built across rougher country than that traversed by the tranipCanada line in British Columbia," said B. C.'s Lieu- tenant-Governor. "During its journey across our province, the new line, par- ticularly in the eastern section, rises 88'igh as 8 mile above sea level. It makes its way along the edge of canyons; it leaps across rivers; and it follows the right-wsy that has been cut through miles of standing tim- ber. From the pictures that I have seen and the stories I have heard, I have decided that build- mg the trans-Canada line across British Columbia was an engi- neering and construction feat of great magnitude." Following the message from British Columbia, the Governor- General declared the service open. COMIhi UNICATIOiV gHollyburn, B.C., 27th January, 1932. Editor, West Van.
