One of the Scriptural texts will be from Isaiah 33: 6: "Wis- dom and knowledge shall be the stability of the times, and strength of salvation." Selections will also be read from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, one passage being from page 95: "Material sense does not unfold the facts of ex- istence; but spiritual sense lifts human consciousness into eter- nal truth." I.OBSTER GAINS hIARK MAY SEA FISHERIES IVorld Di(?!cult!ca Refiected in Smaller Production from Most Other Fisheries Canada's sea fisheries opera- tions in May were marked by large increase in the landings of lobsters, which amounted in all to approximately 22,739,000 pounds as compared with 20; 030,400 pounds in May, 1931. On the other hand, production was smaller than a year sgo in most of the ses iisheries and Nay's total landings of sll varie- ties of fish and shellfish were a- bout 85,656,500 pounds, a de- crease of something more than 14,000,000 pounds. The landed value of the catch to the fisher- men was siightly over $1,956,- 300, 3 drop of about 6337,000. The unsatisfactory state of world markets explains both de- creases. Of the month's total catch, the Atlantic waters yielded 80,- 206,000 pounds, in round figures and 5,450,000 pounds were taken by British Columbia fishermen. Msy, of course, is always s month of relatively small pro- duction in the British Columbia fisheries. In hiay, 1931, for in- stance, Pacific coast operations accounted for anly 8,030,000 lbs. of the Dominion's sea fisheries landings of 100,135,500 pounds. It is in some other months of the year that such fisheries as the salmon, herring, and pilchard fisheries are at their height in Canada's Pacific waters and British Columbia production is lifted to big figures and exceeds Atlantic coast landings. In I'scific Waters Halibut catch accounted for a- bout 1,897,000 pounds of British Columbia's total landings in May but unfavorable market condi- tions lessened the intensiveness of fishing operations and the quantity of halibut taken was less by 1,390,000 pounds than was brought ashore in the pre- vious Nay. Salmon catch for the month wss 1,861,000 pounds, roundly stated, aml was 335,000 pounds larger than a year ago. Salmon and halibut thus made up approximately 3,758,000 pounds of the total fisheries roduction of British Columbia n May. Herring, ling cod, clams and several other varieties of fish and shellfish accounted for the remainder.

TREFS OF THE RIDGE To a newcomer to West Van- couver the wonderful variety of Hollyburn forest gn)wth must be striking. A msn like F. J. D. Barnjum or that gallant soldier who was killed in action on the Ourcq after writing his song "Trees," would have revelled in our wood- land wealth, though most of us who have lived under the Ridge for any length of time have be- come too familiar with it and consequently, perhaps, indiifer- ent to the great value of this mountain forest playground. One can easily imagine the - ancient Greeks peopling their groves and glades with nymphs snd dryads snd building temples to Diana and Ceres and other deities, but of course, we are too practical a people to envision such fantasies, We leave that to the Celt., It is none the less West Van- couver's greatest blessing that logging on Hollyburn Ridge is not 8 paying proposition, so over twenty varieties of deciduous snd coniferous trees are saved to us. Chief of them in size and num- ber are the Douglas fir (which is not a true fir), the western hemlock, snd the cedar, which constitute about one half of Hollyburn'3 forest growth. The Douglas flr must have bothered the pundits at a Vienna congress on tree nomenclature since they tacked on it the clumsy name of s "false hemlock with leaves like s yew" (pseudo- tsuga tsxifolia) but it still grows green and stately on Hollyburn. On the higher slopes the west- ern larch is dotted here and there, brilliant green in Spring and 3 flaming torch in the Aut- umn, standing in striking con- trast to its mountain companion the amabitis or lovely fir. This balsam fir with its soft dark green foliage, purple cones, and stately habit is perhaps the most beautiful tree on Holly- burn. On the wind-swept western slopes the sombre pines and yel- low cedar or cypress are abund- ant in all stages of growth. Of deciduous trees from the broad-leaved maple to the strange arbutus or madrona, Hollyburn has 0 goodly share. The golden yellow of the broad leaved maple with the crimson of the vine maple are gorgeous patches in Hollyburn woods in Autumn, vieing in color with the black cottonwood or poplar. The western choke cherry snd the red twigged bitter cherry, found from one end of the Ridge to the other are veritable bird harbors. Future operations on the Ridge in opening roads snd cleaning out some of its crepus- cular jungle will, no doubt, give readier access to what is one of the finest stretches of natural permanent woodland in this Do- minion. --P.H.

THE WEST VAN NEWS THE BURNING BUS)I By Subadar "Nature made elephants grey" remarked s woman speaker at the recent convention of the Business IVomen'8 Club, this in reference to the necessity of large women dressing quietly. The remark is true if somewhat pointed, but I must say she had her nerve with her. Had a mere man made such 8 statement in public he would most certainly have finished deep in the mud of False Creek with all the Heavy Brigade s)ttmg on him. I have noted at times the ten- dency of some large women to dress noisily, snd noisiness in dress is about the only thing the average man really ever observes Presumably the stout, being usually of s happy disposition, hate drab colors, and so go in for reds, etc. Under the circum- stances, therefore, it is 3 pity they cannot wear bright and happy colors without drawing forth some such remarks as I felt called upon to make when I in my youth found s girl friend lunching oif pork and beans snd ice cream. A Toronto professor snd Sir Thomas White have been hav- ing quite 8 dust-up over the former's criticism of s poem written by the financie on "War Debts." The professor says that financiers should stick to their knitting, while Sir Thomas White reminds him that the poem wss not only published but copied extensively in Canada the States snd Britain. The latter fails to realize that this may not necessarily guarantee its literary merits, which is what the professor is annoyed about. For any well known financier to write 3 poem, any poem, on War Debts is big copy. He usually only makes them. The late minister of finance has, however, this satisfaction, that few professors of literature, if any, ever wrote good'poetry. They only criticise other men' works.. Lord Plumer has "gone west," one of the few generals in the Great War of whom I have yet to hear a criticism either by of- ficers or men who served under him. The same held true of his career in the South African War, snd in neither conllict was a mis- take of any importance chalked up against h)m. He never talked and he never wrote 0 book, but his men trusted him and in sixty years of soldiering he never let them down. His was 0 great rec- ord, and doubtless great was his welcome by old comrades when he passed over. History will probably give him 0 much high- er place among our great mili- tary leaders than is so far ac- corded him. The town of Beliot in Wiscon- sin contains a very angry coun- cillor, and the burden of his song is that he paid 81 into a local church collection before the sermon only to hear the minister upbraid--it's an excellent word --him and his fellow councillors for their political sins. He expected to hear about his other sins, but not his political misdemeanors, a very old story with him about which he has been hearing for years snd not a cent ps(d. But to pay $ 1 for the same was just too much. He' so mad about it that he could bite himself, and has written the minister to return the money. Meanwhile the idea of passing the plate before the ser- mon is worthy of consideration. At any rate in the case in point it raised the collection by $ 1.
