The hot summer weather which prevailed during the whole of last week provided a fair test of just what a good 3M j 1 stretch of sand means for West Vancouver. It also showed clearly and conclusively just how much we have lost by not clearing our beaches years ago. Practically ever since this newspaper came into being, it has carried every year one or more editorials advocating the clearing of one or more beaches of the thin layer of loose stones with all that it mesne by 'E way of adding to the attractions of the municipality as well as of increasing our ferry receipts and helping our merchants. Nobody who watched the crowds who daily were to be found last week swimming and picnicking on Ambleside Beach could doubt its immediate popularity or have any qualms ss to what it will mean to West Vancouver in the future. The number of autos lined up in the park immediately in the rear of (wrley's boat station showed that already the beach was becoming known outside the municipality, indeed the crowds on the sands and swimming in the water must have been clearly visible from Prospect Point. In our editorials we have always suggested that, as funds permitted, beaches be cleared at diiferent places along our shore line, and doubtless in the future this work will be taken up. Meanwhile we congratulate the reeve and council on their initiative in giving West Vancouver that one attraction which heretofore it has lacked, a long stretch of good sandy beach.
