SCHOOL BOARD NOTES A letter wss read from the Chief of Police stating that he had been taking what measures were possible with the staff at his disposal for the protection of school buildings. A letter was read from W. R. Hamilton asking that permission be granted to hold the Annual Inter-School Track Meet on Thursday, June 2nd, and that the usual grant of 660.00 be made for this purpose. It was resolved that this request be granted. A letter was read from the Municipal Council in regard to work carried out on Inglewood School grounds. It was moved snd seconded that this letter be received and filed. Carried, Trus- tee Mr. Jackson dissenting. A letter wss read from F. P. Colpitts offering fifty cents for an old door in the Hoflyburn School no longer in use. It was resolved that this ofl'er be ac- cepted. It was resolved that fire insur- ance policies coming up for re- newal on June 7th and June 8th be renewed with F. C. Chapman and G. Gourlay, respectively. The Secretary reported that eleven night school students were entitled to certain refunds by virtue of a resolution of the Boarrj,~psseorl -in Nnvernhor last, whereby aB students having a perfect attendance after that date were to have a proportion of their fees returned.to them. It was resolved that these re- funds be made. It was resolved that four type- writers be purchased from the Remington Typewriter Co. at price of 390 each, payable st the rate of 65.00 per month for each machine, and that the present rented machines be returned. A start hss at last been made on the clearing of our beaches of the stones and old logs which up to now have made them so unattractive to holiday-makers both from our own municipality and Greater Vancouver. For several days now s number of the unemployed have been given the work of clearing a portion of the beach in front of Ambleside Park. For years this newspaper has been urging that this be done at different places along our shores, for there is nothing that will so attract visitors to our municipality and in addition, as we have repeatedly pointed out, It will result in a large increase in the number of passengers using our ferries. Mothers and families will come over in the summer months in the early morning ferries which are returning empty from the city after taking business people to their work, snd will go back in the evening on the empty boats which are going over to Vancouver to bring back our residents to their homes. The layer of stones on our beaches is very thin, and, once removed, will not return to spoil the sand underneath. Most of the logs have been rusticating there for years, and represent the accumulation of decades. The few which may drift in hereafter could be towed out into the current from time to time at the cost of very little time snd effort. It has always been a puzzle to us why this work was not done years ago, and our council are to be congratulated on having implemented their promise to make a start on it this year. Not only is it giving sadly needed work to our unem- t'oyed, but it is work of a kind that will pay dividends largely n excess of the small cost that may be incurred, in fact we do not know of anything that is likely to yield such returns for. the small outlay necessary. CHORAl SOCIETY TO GIVE PICNIC The West Vancouver Choral Society sre holding a picnic for members and their families on Saturday afternoon, June 25th, at )Vhytecflff Park.

CORRESPONDENCE Editor West Van. News. It Sire--)Vhen I came to West Vancouver last summer, it wor ried me to see so much fruit and so many vegetables going to waste in the gardens when a- cross the Narrows thousands were suffering from malnutri- tion caused by a lack of the nrw.- essary vitamins. Would it not be possibk to open up an exchange with an unemployed man in charge under the supervision of the re- lief committee, and sell ab pm- ducts donated. What remmned unsold could be distributed through one of the missions in Vancouver, The proceeds could form the nucleus of s clothing fund for the unemployed in West Vancou- ver next winter. Let West Vancouver lead the way in food distribution. EMhIA J.
