The years are passing on, carrying away with them many of the veterans of the Great War as well as those who all over the Empire, did their bit behind the lines to keep the fighting troops supplied. A few more years, and the Great Struggle will be only a memory, for already s generation is coming up who knew nothing of it or its suf- ferings. It is only, therefore, meet and right that we should all assemble ourselves together at the Memorial Arch tornor- row at 10:46 a.m. for the annual service which has been ar- ranged there by the Duncan Lawson Chapter I.O.D.E. Present conditions and the good or ill arising out of the confifct should have no weight. We come together in silence to remember those who gave their lives for a worthy cause. They st least preserved for us our present liberties, and for the rest we have ourselves only to blame. Armistice Day being a public holiday this year for the first time, let no one be absent from this service at which we bow before the memory of our loved ones who passed on the field of honor. C. W. bfagoun and others wrote the council regarding Keith Road and Duchess Lane between 11th and 12th Streets. Referred to the engineer with power to act. The slashing of brush on lane between Clyde and Duchess Ave. leading to the Nesbitt farm as requested by Mr. Corbett was referred by the council to the engineer with power to act. The examination of tax sale properties on hand at the pres- ent time vdth a view to ascer- taining if any were of value for municipal services wss referred by the council to the clerk snd the engineer. The matter of the ditch in front of the hfemorial Arch was referred by the council to the engineer for attention. E. )V. Wooden came before the council in regard to his ap- plication for re-subdivision of Lots I and 2, Block 32, D. L. 66)6 He was informed that his re- quest had been carefully consid- ered, but that the council was not prepared to take any action on it at present. H. E. Walker came before the council to ask for a location of a further tract where trees for firewood might be cut. The matter wss left for the at- tention of the engineer, C. F. Powell wrote the council re boulevard adjoining 994 22nd Street. The applicant was informed that the council had not funds to expend on boulevards at the present time. A. E, Ames d& Co. Ltd., wrote the council, making a bond offer. They were adviseed that the council did not wish to take ad- vantage of the offer at the pres- ent time. West Vancouver-Greater Van- couver Water District Disposal Bylaw No. 614, and West Van- couver Tree Destruction Bylaw No. 616 were both finally adop- ted by the counciL council re trees on lots opposite. Lots 6, 7, 8, 9, Block 2B, D. L. 665. The engineer was instructed by the council to grant the per- mission asked for subject to his supervision, if the trees were standing on municipal property. THF. SECOND NARROWS BRIDGE The most welcome news that has come to the North Shore for many a long day was the announcement this week that. the Second Narrows bridge would be ready again for traffic by the spring. In spite of the doubts expressed by some as to its being possible to do this for one reason or another, the announcement from Ottawa is too definite, it appears to us, to justify any such attitude. The mere fact that the news came like a bolt from the blue would suggest that the author- ities had completed all the necessary arrangements before giving the result to the public. Those of us who resided in West Vancouver previous to the accident to the Second Narrows bridge know just what it, means to us. As a matter of fact with the bridge in being we should have hardly noticed the depression here. The winter is still ahead, but there is hope awaiting us in the spring, and doubtless business will improve in the next four months due to what is in store for us when the warmer weather comes. The matter of the change dur- ing the winter months of the street lighting time to run from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. instead of from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. was refer- red by the council to the clerk to arrange with the B. C. Elec- tric Railway Co. Ltd. William Blair wrote the coun- cil regarding acreage on C)7)ress Creek. Referred to the clerk for ai-l~ 51rs. Kadey wrote to the coun- cil re dangerous trees Lots IO and 11, Block 5, D. L. 582. Referred to the engineer with power to act. The engineer reported to the council on: "SILENCE" Like a curtain softly falling Over land and over sea, Comes a silence that is laden With a weight of memory.

WEST IA ECOL!VER CHORAL SOCIETY hfonday evening, November 28th. has been arranged as the day for the opening concert of the season to take place at the United Church when Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha" will be pm- sented as the principal contri- bution to the program. The chor- us ivhich is very well balanced this season is fully confident that the presentation of this work will reveal that the standard of the society is being well main- tained. We specially advise all those interested in musical works rf merit to take the opportunity of being present at the concert on the 28th, as "Hiawatha" is one of the most outstanding contri- butions to the musical world iu recent years. the music being quite unique in its quaintness snd admirably suited to the fa~ cinating lines of Longfellow. Tickets are now on sale and csn be secured from any men)- bere of the society. SCOTTISH COUNTRY DANCE SOCIETY DANCE The West Vancouver branch of the B. C.
