"God Save the King.o WELFARE NOTES + someone told the average West Vancouver resident that someone living next door to them was actually in need of food, he would be horrified, and probably say "impossible," but such cases do exist, though fortunately these are not many. There are however a great many who have small pensions, or are what is known ss "transients," because they have not lived sufficient time in the municipality to qual- ify as residents. In many cases these are paqtle who came to live in West Vancouver while they still had jobs, but have lost them since. There are so many reasons for the existence of the Welfare As- sociation, and so many reasons why it shouM be supported whole-heartedly by a sympathe- tic public. As well as clotlung, boots, shoes, etc., gifts of food are needed, and sometimes cash. So many asd hearts, lonely by vir- tue of their financial yosition st this time, have found friendship snd help thmugh the Associa- tion and are no longer afraid to come. "A little help is worth s deal of pity," and the Association would remind the housewives of the boxes which friendly store- keepers have aBowed to be placed in their stores, for the ex- , tra litdje,~oft4)t6'nbbtd, -, ~':'d6nICJest~ot 'te'uilk bottks placed here and them for the stray odd change. Thanks At a recent meeting of the Executive a resolution express- ing the thanks of the Associa- tion was passed to those forty canvassers under the convener- ship of hira )V. B. Small who gave so much valuable time to the house-to-house canvas rec- ently, with such splendid results. Xmas Cheer The special fund for "Christ- mas Cheer" is now well estab- lished, and a subscriytion list has been opened in the columns of the West Van News, thanks to the good will of tbe Editor. Follovring the action of the small boy who put an ostrich egg in the hen's nest as a sample of what he hoped his hen would produce the list is weB headea but as this looking after the other fellow at Christmas time is every man's job, those who csn only send a bantam's egg will be just as gratefully thank- ed. No amount is too small. as no amount is too big, so long as every first and last person in tbe municipality who can, does their bit. Any subscription sent to the paper will be acknowledged in the weekly hst. Donations may also be sent to inembera of the Executive, nr sent direct to the Xmas Cheer Fund Headquartem shortly to be established on 18th and hlarine Drive, in a store kindly lent by W.
