0001 i Iggg ~ August 4, 1982 i THE WEST VAN NEWS THE BURNING BUSH By Subadar We have H. G. Wells lecturing his King for his part in the form- ation of the NationalGovernment in England, Considering that since the formation of that gov- ernment things have begun to ick up in Britain, this criticism s indeed strange. I will pass over any questions of impertin- ence that might well be raised to remark that, while Wells may rather fancy himself in the rok of king, no nation would trust a college professor with any such position after the mess in which President Wilson landed the world with his idealistic and col- Iegewlassroom outlook on life. Every man of the world knows that a well-meaning idealist, and practically all professors are in that category, will bring the af- fairs of everyday life to nought quicker than the worst knave who ever corrupted mankind with his presence.

It may safely be taken as true that the great ma- jority of these men were veter- ans of the Great War, and they are loyal to their country. Very few of them indeed from lack of financial experience would real- ize the absurdity of their de- mands apart from the fact that hunger will more often'han not take away all reason from thc wisest of men. Being weapon- less, charges with truncheons should have been ample to meet the case. WELFARE NOTES Just about the busiest tele- phone in West Vancouver must be that of the local Welfare As- sociation. During the hours that the ofl'ice is open daily the in- strument is seldom silent, proof at once that the Association is already s live factor in the com- munity snd that the public are behind it. Members of the public are responding well to the ap- peal for cast-otf clothing, surplus fruits and vegetables, and other articles which the Association flnds calls for, but much more fruit end vegetables could be ad- vantageously used.
