Expressed in terms of the 48- pound case, the production from the canneries totalled 422,500 cases, in round figures, as com- pared with 382,600 cases on August 8th, 1931. The output for each period could have been made much larger,of course, had world market conditions warranted more intensive oper- ations for there is no depletion apparent in the stocks of salmon on the fishing grounds. The gain in this year's pack, as of August 6th, was chiefly in the production of canned Springs, Chums, and Cohoes, al- though slightly more Bluebacks were handled than a year ago. Fewer Sockeyes and Pinks were packed than in the correspond- ing 1931 period. That is true, too, as regards Steelheads, but the Steelhead output is never large. The pack of Sockeye, which is the most valuable variety of Pacific salmon, totalled 203,670 eases, or some 27,000 cases less than a year ago. The drop was due to lowered output in some parts of Fisheries District No. 2, the northern section of the province, a condition partly due to some dlfiicultles which caused fishermen to discontinue fishing for s time. More than 48,600 cases of Springs were canned, as com- pared with about 17,200 eases at August 8th, 1931; nearly 42,000 cases of Chums were put up, a gain of some 28,000 cases; Co- hoe pack was more than 33,600 cases, an increase of more than ninety per cent; a pack of 20,130 cases of Bluebacks meant a gain of a couple of hundred cases. On the other hand, the Pink output was only 74,025 cases, a decrease of between eight and nine thous- and. The Steelhead pack was 507 cases, as compared with 592. NORTH SHORE ltIERGER WOULD lwq VOLVE IIMUCH EXPENSE, BOARD TOLD "It soon became evident that on the basis of a redefinition of the district boundaries, prepara- tion of details necessary for a private bill would involve con- siderable time and expense. Under present conditions, it is also unlikely that the Legisla- ture would look with favor upon a bill in which it is proposed to nevert large areas of land to the government which already have been hypothecated as a general securiety on debentures issued by the municipalities." This was the reply received by the North Vancouver Board of Trade Thursday night from City Clerk George S. Shepherd relative to its recent enquiry of progress made toward proposed amalgamation of the city and district of North Vancouver. J. Rodger Burnes, head of the special committee of the board having this matter in hand, inti- mated that meetings to discuss details of the proposal will be held soon. WEST VANCOUVER UNITED F. C.

THF. 131'RNING BUSH By Subadar It is reported that a party of British and American golfers, attacked on a course at Harbin by Chinese bandits, fought their way to safety with their golf clubs. The positions maintained by their caddies during the scrap is not indicated, but doubtless they kept close to the players, and one supposes that something like the following was heard: Player: "Now James, kindly hand me my putter. That Chink is short and fst, I'l crash him In the belt." Caddie: "Yes, sir." Wang, "AIEII." Caddie: "Watch that bullet- headed guy, sir, wii,h the one eye." Player: "Righto. The cleek, James, always the cleek for rough work." Bing, Crash. Thud. Player: "Got him in one, and a petfectly good cleek wrecked." Caddie: "Yes, sir." Player: "Now for that tall outrage with the flapping ears and protruding teeth. The driver for him, James, and mind your eye when I swing." Caddie: "Yes, sir." Swish. Crash. Player: "Missed him, by gum, and bust the club on that rock! Dive for his legs, boy, while I climb a tree. The game's get- ting too expensive for me!" And so on. BAND CONCI ltT SUNDAY I AST OF SERIES The concert given last Sunday afternoon on Ambkside Pier by the Vancouver Daily Province Carriers'and was well attend- ed considering the fact that summer is over. The boys gave a good program, snd it was much appreciated by those who came to the pier to listen to the music. It was the twelfth and last concert to be given this season. These concerts Institutcqt by the reeve and council have been s great success. They have at- tracted quite a number of people not only from the municipality, but from outside, and have done a great deal towards populsrlr.- ing our beaches. This was the first summer in which a series of band concerts have ever been given in West Vancouver, and the ides of holding them as originated by the reeve anil council wss a distinctly happy one, and hss caused considerable pleasure to our residents in this period of depression.

Savory 1443 Marine Drive ~ Ambleside Phone West 340 Eienlngs, West 143 Real Estate Finance and Insurance I read an article recently by one Reginald Pound, from the Monday's edition of an English paper entitled "Did you go to Church yesterday," in which the writer discussed his reactions in going to a village church after many years of abstinence there- from. He stated that, while the organ was wheezy, the priest crossed himself too often, a hymn was banal, and the sermon like thousands of others, he had discovered that "the man who cuts himself o(I from the Church and her communion is sooner or later in danger of starvation of the souk" The poor savage found this out thousands of years ago, which is why he bowed down to idols. We moderns are finding out slow- ly but surely that in the funda- mentals of life humanity re- mains the same in spite of the strides made in knowledge along various lines. It was stated recently in the Vancouver press that in spite of the desires of fathers, hus- bands, and sweethearts, women would continue to wear their hair short, in other words the sex falsely called "weaker" would do as they pleased. Of course they will, and what' more, they have always done so. There are more ways of killing a cat than hanging it, and what women don't know of the many methods of obtaining their own sweet way is not worth mentioning. What worries them is not what the men will say, for which they have an age-old con- tempt, but that which the other women of their acquaintance msy be pleased to remark. Hence the fashions. An English professor has es- sayed to answer a question as to the safest place in a thunder- storm, in which he tells his ques- tioners the places to avoid. But he did not tell them a safe place, which wss naturally what they wanted to know,because "there aint no such animal." Practical- ly in a thunderstorm the position of the human is much the same as that, depicted by Bairnsfather and inscribed, "If you knows of a better 'ole, go to it." Person- ally I have been in tropical thunderstorms and heavy shell fire, and in each case my only comfort has been that I felt so small nothing could possibly hit me. Husband (feeling a twinge in the back while he is tuning in the radio): "I believe I'm get- ting lumbago." Wife: "What's the use, dear7 You won't be able to understand s word they say." "Loot," mtd the despairing mother of the dirty boy, "wouldn't you like to be as neat sod ttesn as those twtw tbitdreo in white sailor Iuitsf" "No," said the dirty boy. "They'e oot children, they'e pets." WEST VAN WELFARE ASSOCIATION ...
