0001 February 12, 1982. THE WEST VAN NEWS THE BURNING BUSH By Subadar As matters concerning the U. B.C. are not exactly 6 local is- sue, the editor hss handed to me literature sent him by the U,B.C. students. asking him to back them in their flght against the reduction to 8260,000 of their government grant. I must sincerely congratulate the stud- ents on their loyalty to their University. It augurs well that they have this quality so fully developed, because 6 similar loy- alty carried out Into life will stand them well in 8 selfish world, where loyalty to one' fnm or friends is not as common as it might be, and is therefore the more appreciated. At the same time they must learn that under present conditions many good things have to be given up We Canadians are paying now for the extravagances of the past in many directions snd the time has came when all the bud- gets have simply got to be bal- anced,snd kept balanced until we have caught up with that future which we have so recklessly dis- counted. I note by reference to the city press that fancy eyelashes have arrived for ladies. They are stuck on, whether by glue or not is not stated, to those provided by nature, and doubtless many who have singed their lashes lighting cigarettes or are not satisfied with what they have raised will take advantage of this opportunity. At this time I rise on behalf of the not-too- baldheaded. Why should not they have the advantage of 6 little longer crop before all is lost? I am sure it would be a better paying proposition than the adhesive eyelash, for many more would be required per head. I leave this idea with my profound salaams to the beauty parlors. Royalty on the same will only be a quarter a head, and I will round up 6 number of my scantily haired friends free of charge.

The guns were ordered des- troyed by the attorney-general after provincial police oificers pronounced them to be obsolete and useless. Included in the armament was 0 toy pistol which had been used by a holdup man. The point selected for dump- ing the weapons is 8 graveyard for obsolete guns and motor lic- ense plates. ATTENDANCE AT TRUSTEES'ONVENTIONS Editor West Van News: Such criticisms as we heard on the 300 dollar item for Con- vention expenses dealt entirely with the question whether the trustees had been too generous to themselves or not. But no one seemed to grapple with the much more important question if the majority of trustees should attend at all. A convention, if it is to be of any use, must be something more than 8 bunch of holiday- makers addressed by depart- mental olficials and politicians. All the conventions which justi- fy themselves are gatherings of specialists. The ides that school trustees should attend conven- tions for the purpose of profiting by the experience of others is prominent in publicity literature but it is fallacious for all that. A trustee gains from a conven- tion just about as much as he brings to it. If he has made no intensive study of any question of educational policy, it is pretty certain that he will gain next to nothing by listening in on a convention. The boards with which I was connected did not lack courage; but none of us would have pro- posed to attend 6 convention at the public expense. I was desir- ous at one time of raising the question of the unduly frequent changes in the school text-books but I could not all'ord to attend the convention that year, which was in 8 distant place, so I said nothing about the matter. The idea of going at the rstepayers'xpense was too much for me. It would be well if sll trustees who propose to attend conven- tions would provide themselves with reasons for going which will be sufficiently definite and practical to bear stating and de- fending in public. Yours truly, J. PORTER. HORTICULTURAL ASS'N ELECT OFFICERS The Directors of the Horti- cultural Association met in the Municipal Hall on Tuesday and elected their oificers for, the year.

Leslie Best, who was formerly stationed in West Van- couver, snd who is now the min- ister of the United Church at Kaslo, arranged a very success- ful Scottish night recently. The firs part of the program at Ksslo consisted of Scottish songs and readings outside of Burns. The second part was taken up exclusively with Burns items. A set of over 60 lanternslides chosen from a West Van- couver collection was lent to him and used to illustrate scenes con- nected with the poet's life and a group of his west-known songs, which the illustrations covered, verse by verse. The Ksslo talent which Mr. Best succeeded in enlisting seems to have made the evening 0 striking success, judging by the glowing report in our con- temporary "The Kootenaian." FOOTBALL lVeet Van.
