Vol. VII SIX PAQFS HOLLYBURN P.O. ~ WEST VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1932 WELFARE NOTES The work continues to grow apace. Much jsm hss been made during the past week. Sewing parties meet every afternoon. The wood-cutters are going strong, building up comfort for themselves and others ready for the winter. The membership cards were well received, and the response hss been very gratifying. There are still those, however, who have not quite grasped the idea that the association is absolutely non-sectarian and non-political, and that every citizen is invited to cooperate. The office is open from 10 to 12 every morning ex- cept Sunday and anyone inter- ested is invited to call and see what is being done. Visitors are reminded that the headquarters are on the lower floor of the Orange Hall, snd that the en- trance is by the second door on the side. IVEST,VANCOUVER WELFARE ASSOCIATION The recently formed IVest Vancouver Welfare Association is only a few weeks old, but it has already done good work among those who are suffering in West Vancouver from lack of. the amount of food, heat, or of clothing necessary to keep them in health. There are those amongst us in these straits, as is unfortunately the case probably in every municipality in Canada, the result of the long depression from which the whole world is suifering. There has always been a certain amount of distitution here and there in Canada as in every civilized country, and, because up to recent times cases were confined to a few of the W larger towns and cities, it was possible to handle them through the ordinary channels of organized charity. Their funds and workers were ample for the comparatively small amount of relief required. Since then the situation has altered, and every place has its cases of destitution, the only difference being one of num- bers. Under vcuch circumstances it is obvious that the resi- dents of every locality cannot expect outside assistance in the matter. In other words every locality, and that includes West Vancouver, must look after those in their midst who are unfortunate enough to be short of the necessities of life, This is the reason for the formation of the West Van- couver Welfare Association, which is endeavoring to relieve distress regardless of age, sex, religion, or any other consider- ation. Its efforts are directed to help those who are in real need of the ssmesproviding that they are residents of West Vancouver, for, as we have stated above, the situation through- out the country is such that every place must look after its own without relying on outside help. The Association has sent out cards requesting our resi- dents to assist in this very worthy work. On the cards is printed the various headings under which they can be of as- sistance, and each is requested to state under the appropriate heading what they are willing to do towards this c~perative -effort. The headings cover every possible field of endeavor,- snd'there are few if any who cannot do their bit in dome way. The need is now and with the winter will jikely become more insistent, t'or which reason the cussorcaocqn sincerotyi muse ,that those who have. received the cards return'.+vent'sitLned and filled out immediately, so thaC there inky be. no dhlay'in. establishing properly organized and concerted elforts to relieve the distress. West Vancouver has always had a name for its community spirit, and we feel sure that our residents will not fail to rally round the Welfare Association in this most im- portant work. WEST VAVi NEWS TO BE PUBLISHED ON THURSDAYS IN FUTURE The 1Vest Van News will, starting this week be pub lished every Thursday aft- ernoon instead of every Fri- day, as has been the case ever since it began publica- tion. We feel that our read- ers will find this to be an improvement, and it will also benefit our advertisers, more especially those who are running Friday and Sat- urday speciale. Organizations and others who have articles or notes for our columns are re- quested to in future kindly hand them In to us by Wed- nesday noon instead of Thursday noon as hereto- fore. F. FRAiNCIS LOVEGROVE Editor Those welfare conveners who have already been working in IVest Vancouver and know the people so well, are still working as heretofore, and most of them are availing themselves of the additional s u p p I i e s available through the assocjation. jg. ~M'orqe'fefjjulekr~~o.. il'\i»iuo iii'e ii»»u u i »a»uvi» to tune,oco the cu'gantzation gets'nder way. There are still a few ragged ends in arrangements to be gathered up, as new situa- tions arise but ample proof has already been received that s joint organization of this kind was what was needed to meet the present peculiar situation.

It is hoped that many will take advantage of the op- portunity to visit this beautiful island, and at the same time, help the band in their endeavors. Tickets can be obtained from many of the local merchants, members of the band, or from Trustee T. E. 1V. Russell. SUNDAY BAND CONCERT AT AMBLESIDE PIER UNCLE OF RANCHER EARL RESIDED HEREAs announced in our columns last week, there will be a concert by the Vancouver Canadian Legion Band under Band- master Cox from 2:80 to 4:30 p.m. next Sunday on Ambfeside Pier. The program is similar to those given by this band in Stanley Park, and, as the reeve and council have gone to considerable trouble to arrange for the concert, it is hoped that there will be a hearty response. The following is the program: 0 Canada MARCH--Let's Go .................................................. H. J. Woods OVERTURE--Pot Pourri from the Overtures...

It will be of interest to our residents to learn that George Percival, who formerly resided at 23rd and Lavrson Ave., and who sold his property there a- bout a year ago to return to Al- berta, is the uncle and guardian of the young Earl of Egmont. His picture has figured largely in the newspapers since the death of his brother, the rancher earL Mr. Cornish, 17th and Gor- don, while on his way here from IVinnipeg this month, met both Mr. Percival and his nephew on the train, and spent some time chatting with them. EAGLE HARBOUR Eagle Harbour is a popular place these days. There is good fishing, boating and bathing there, and it is an ideal place for picnics. Cottages are available for rent, also rooms with or without board by the day, week or month.

Under authority thus given, writs may be issued at any time. Reeve J. M. Bryan stated that the bank is pressing for revenue from taxes and a certain limit must be reached. He contended that ratepsyers who are able to psy should do so. Intimation was given that the municipality has power to institute procei»dingo if taxes aro not paid, It was ex- plained that 1981 arrears will be sifected to the greatest extent by this ruling of the council. Councillor E. P. Cummins cited the possibility of discrimination. The reeve suggested, however, that the council be furnished with a complete list of all rate- payers who have not paid their lg:11 taxes. This met with ap- proval of the council. "Certain people are able to pay but they have refused purposely to put this municipality in the hole," declared Councillor C. R. Hitchcock. Reeve J. M. Bryan stated some ratepayers have openly boasted that they have the necessary money but will not pay their taxes. Those who know most talk least of what they know. Those who know little talk a great deal about what they don't know, Prospect I'oint, looking towards IVcet Vancouver . »»»»
