O. D. E. The Duncan Lawson Chapter held its last regular meeting of the season on June 13th at the home of Mrs. A. E. Young. After the regular business was attended to the summer pro- gram was arranged. The Chapter is to be the host- ess of the patients of Shaugh- neusy Hospital at Whytecliff Park in July. Dainty refreshments were served by the hostesses and after the closing ceremony the meet- ing adjourned for two months. The council ordered that the sums of $ 1;500 and $1,000 be transferred from the Ferry Ac- count to the General Savings Ac- count. The reeve snd council have arranged for the Salvation Army Citadel Ban&I to give s concert next Sunday from 2:15 to 4:15 on Dundarave Pier. This band is one of the finest on the Pacific slope, snd their concert last summer at Dundsrave was greatly enjoyed by the many who attended. Arrangements have also been made to have the Legion Bend from Vancouver under Bandmaster Cox give a concert on the following Sunday on Ambleside Pier, and Mr. Cox is prepared to bring his ban&1 over every other Sunday there- after providing there is a sufficient attendance. At both these concerts there will be s silver collection, and, while it is hoped that there will be a generous response, it is not intended that those stay away who feel they cannot give. The concerts have been arranged for the benefit of all our residents, and the idea behind them is to help people generally to forget their troubles, at least for a time, in listen- ing to the music. This was the purpose of the day of music recently heM in Vancouver,and its promoters there felt entirely satisfied with the results obtained in that direction. In addition to the above, arrangements are being made to have the Kitsilano Boys'and, who are the champions of Canada, give s concert here at an early date before they leave for Toronto. It will be noted that the second concert is to take place on Ambleside Pier. This hss been rendered possible as s result of the work which has been done in the way of replanking, extra bracing, etc., this year on the structure, making it an ideal location for the purpose. Considerable credit is due the reeve and council for having the pier put in good shape, as well as for the general renovation of the transportation build- ings, and the clearing of the east beach, which is possibly the most important work of all. The beach has already become quite popular for bathing and picnics among our residents, and, as it becomes known in Vancouver, will prove a consider- able source of revenue to our ferries. WEST VAN NEWS TO BE PUBLISHED ON THURSDAYSIq FUTURE The West Van News will, starting next week, be pub- bshed every Thursday aft- ernoon instead of every I'ri- day, as has been the case ever since it began publica- tion.
