Vanclviver branch of the Canadian Legion at their meeting on Monday evening, passed the following resolution: "Resolved that, On this day, August 1st, 1932, when a mem- orial is being dedicated to 73,000 soldiers who fell in the Somme offensive and have no known grave, that the West Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Legion goes on record as protesting a- gainst the prevailing system, which compels thousands of sur- vivers to wander homeless and hungry in the country for which they sacrificed some of the best years of their hves. Application of B. C. Mountain- eering Club for permission to pass through Lynn Valley wat- ershed three or four times a year on week-end mountain climbs, was not granted by North Van- couver City Council Monday night, following receipt of a re- port from Dr. G. F. Amyot, medical health officer. The date of the picnic of the West Vancouver Schools Band to Keats Island has been changed from Sunday, 14th, instant to Wednesday, 17th instant. DUNCAN LAWSON I.HAPTER GARDEN I'ARTY For eleven years the Duncan Lawson Chapter has entertained at a Garden Party--until sum- mer would scarcely seem sum- mer if the residents could not look forward to this delightful afternoon of pleasure. Every eiFort is being put forth to have the 12th year, the very best of any, and judging from reports received from commit- tees, this will be readily achiev- ed. The usual booths of Home Cooking, Candy, and Ice Cream, which by the way, are being decked in quite new and delight- ful forms, are in the capable hands of Mrs. Chapman, hIrs. Jackson snd Mrs. Hirst, while Mrs. Young has charge of the afternoon tea. Mrs. Victor Johncox is plan- ning some very new and jolly forms of fun, for the old and young, and those who love to take s chance or delve into the future, will have ample oppor- tunity as lucky dips and fortune telling will abound. All these attractions combined with the fact that this Pete will be held on Saturday, August 13, in the delightful beach garden of Reeve and hfrs. J. B. Leyland with its gorgeous setting, the brilliant lighting and usual huge bon-fire at night, will certainly combine to make this an afi'air no one can afford to miss. Not least among the attrac- tions'vill be the playing of the IVest Vancouver School Band and the entertainment, afternoon and evening, which is being ar- ranged by Mrs. Eastman. Rehearsals for the above ent- ertainment are running along in good style, snd giving every in- dication of the performance be- ing a huge success. Both Miss and Mr. Dawson have expressed themselves as more than pleased with the way in which the West Vancouver performers have ent- ered into the spirit of the scenes and grasped the stage directions. "Songs of Old Landon" is a period story in song, dance and time in five episodes. While the various songs are being sung a story is enacted depicting typi- cal episodes of the times. The following players will be seen in the leading roles: Lady Betty--Miss Hatty Young Her Mother--Mrs. Gleam Her Father--Mr. J. Holt. Her Fiance--Mr. Murray Watson The Strawberry Seller -- Miss Ethel Roberts.

This is afiowing a year's grace over the age limit stipulated in the Schools Act, which sets 16 as the maximum age to which free education will be provided. This decision was reached at the last meeting of the School Board after a lengthy discussion in an eifort to take some further steps to meet the steadily rising cost of school operation. The Board also de- cided to place the same age limit on pupiLv attending the Vancou- ver Technical Schaol, but it is understood that provision has been made for exceptions in cas- es where the student's school record warrants special consid- eration. The Board decided also to take what measures were pos- sible in c~ration with the High School and Pubhc School principals, to accelerate the pro- gress of pupils throughout the whole school system: a pupil entering public scchaol at the sge of six, the customary age of admission, ordinarily spends eight years in the public schools, taking the entrance examina- tion st the age of fourteen. This 'ouldallow three years high school tuition to graduate at the age ot seveuteea. The Board is of the opinion, however, that many students, if not the major- ity of those who intend and are equipped to carry through their school work to junior matricula- tion, could save a year in their public school work, in fact many West Vancouver pupils have graduated from high school at, the sge of sixteen, and even fif- teen with excellent passing marks. Betty hlunrtx mesxo soprano; and hir. Stan Lettner. baritone. All the singers are from hfiss Dawson's studio, snd Mr. Lett- ner is a %Vest Vancouver msident snd makes his first public ap- pearance in his own O.wn. Supporting the principals is a big cast of Beau~ Befies Coun try Dancers and Tiny Tots, to- gether with a Minuet performed by sixteen of the Beaux and Belles. Altogether about sixty performers will appear in this production. A great deal of credit is due to 51rs. SheiField as accompanist. her sympathetic playmg having added to the smoothness of re- hearsals in no small degree. z s IIr m wsz A Weekly Newspaper Circulatiyfgiyf the Disty'Jcf of West VancouFJgr--Amblcsidg, Hollyburyf, Winston, DfyyfdaraZIc $ 1.00 per year. cyPrgss Park, caulfeild, whyfeclifj", Efc. 5c per copy st newsstsnds.
