CONCERT DRAWS LARGE CltOIVD The 'West Vancouver Choral ' Society gave their Arst concert of the season last Monday even- ing before a crowd of music lov- ers who ilfied the West Vancou- ver United Church to capacity. It was one of the Anest and most attractive programs of music ever given by the society, snd the enthusiastic reception ac- corded the various numbers showed that the audience werc entirely pleased with the per- formance. Aubrey Clarke, presi- dent of the society, made a brief address at the beginning of the concert. Coleridge Taylor's cantata, "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," was the feature number of the program and was well done. The choir which has very fine soprano and bass sections, seem- ed to have captured the spirit of the Indian and the peculiar throbbing rhythm of the music, which is very beautiful and at the same time much more tune- ful than some of this composer's works. James Fiddes sung the tenor solo with considerable sweetness and feeling. Mrs. J. C. Hunt, who took the solo in "Now tramp o'r moss and fell," did very well, her voice being heard clearly above the choir, who supported her ably in the chorus. The other number oy the chok, "How sweet the moonlight sleeps," was given in a subdued manner entirely in keeping with the sub- ject. The West Vancouver Male Quartette delighted the audience with a number, and were com- pelled to give an encore. Mrs. Fred Stainsby's fine contralto voice was heard to great advantage in two solos, and she was also compelled to respond with an encore. Miss Margaret Mclntyre with Mrs. James McIntyre at the piano played extremely well a very difficult violin solo, which was accorded a most enthusiastic ieception, but on account of her heavy duties as the accompanist of the evening was unable to ac- cede to an insistent demand for an encore number. Mrs. Colin MacLean, while suffering from a bad cold, sang two soprano solos with her usual finish snd sweetness of tone, aft- erwards acceding to the applause by giving an encore. Taken altogether, the concert was entirely worthy of the rep- utation enjoyed by J. Haydn Young and his choir ss one of the leading musical organiza- tions of Greater Vancouver. SCHOOI. CONCERT The annual Public School .on- cert wlfi be hei&I in the Ingle- wood School on Wednesday, Pe- cember 14th, at 7:30 p.m. Realizing that some members of ihe community, who have in the past, supported the schools in their endeavors to raise funds for the schools'port prograin, are unable to do so this year, the committee in charge of thc con- cert wish to announce thai par- ents who are on relief an&i vho have children taking part in the concert, may obtain tickets for the concert by making applica- tion to the child's teacher.

COUNCH, AGAINST REDUCTIONS IN RELIEF SCALE In view of the proposed action of the provincial and federal governments to reduce the pres- ent scale of relief, against which the U.B.C.M. have lodged a strong protest, the council at their meeting on Monday night passed the following resolution: "Resolved that this council view with real alarm the decision of the provincial and federal governments to reduce, as from December 1st, the amount now being allowed to recipients of r»- lief, believing that ihe reduced amounts, as proposed, will be entirely inadequate to maintain the decencies of even the irost modest home, and that any ac- tion that will add further bur- dens to so many who are already harassed beyond measure &vill seriously affect the health and morale of a large number of people in the community." Carried unanimously. A copy of this resolution to- gether with a letter stating the council would support th;ni in every way in their action was sent to the U.B.C.M. Copies of the resolution were also sent to the following: Premier S. F. Tolmie. Honorable iliinister of Finance J. Loutet, M.L.A. Hon. R. B. Bennett. A. L'. 61unn, M.P.

CHRISTMAS CHEER FUND OPENS ITS DOORS The Christmas Cheer Fund headquarters at the corner of 18th and Marine, opened this morning. A streamer across the road announces to all and sun- dry that here is the place. but publicity would go a little fur- ther and add "Now is the time." It is hoped that practically every family in West Vancouver will do its bit in one way or another, and assist in attracting s per- vading spirit of good will which will permeate every home in the Municipality during the Festive Season. Little Girls! A special doll measuring 19 inches in height, and very fash- ionably and seasonably attired in green woolies, has come to town, and is to be raffled for the Christmas Cheer Fund. The lady who donated the doll wish- es to remain anonymous, but told me this much that she de- signed these wonderful woolies herself, so that the lucky win- ner will feel that her doll is quite out of the ordinary. Mr. Gemmifi of the Drug Store at the corner of 14th and Marine, has the doll in his shop, and will be only too happy to sell tickets for a chance to win her. Thanks! Special thanks are due this sleek to a group of youths known as the Juveni Club; who thrbugh Terence Crickmay, forwardal 614.91 to the Welfare Fund. This is a splendid example which other groups might follow. Two very acceptable grocery orders and seventeen bags of mixed vegetables have also been received. To realize the value of gifts of this kind it is only neces- sary to know a little of the grief of the distributors when there is not enough food donated for dis- tribution at the week end. This happened two weeks ago, snd the Association hopes it will never happen again. The boxes in the grocery stores are reap. ing a little better harvest now, and the public is reminded that even a pound of sugar, split peas, rice, beans or anything of tnst sort will be very acceptable. The gift from the individual need not be a big one. A Request. A mother would be very grate- ful for a push-chair for her Imhy who has now outgrown her pram. GORGEOUS SETTING I'OR N XMAS CHEER FUND DANCE If suggestion and environment count for anything there should be no wilted collars or steaming faces at the dance on Friday evening, December 2nd, in the Inglewood auditorium for the Christmas Cheer Fund. This evening the decorators are busy removing the auditori- um to a far northern latitude, metaphorically speaking, but without the accompanymg drop in temperature, Snow will be fafiing before colored lights, nn Christmas trees and icicles, and Miss Madge Farmer is causing Igloos and Esquimaux tc appear on the walls. So changed will be the scene that, in these days of shoewtring finance, patrons will be enabled to kill three birds with one stone, take a trip to ihe far north, enjoy a wonderful dance or bridge, and give'the other fel- low a cheery Christmas. In charge of the decorations will be Mrs. Fred Stainsby, kirs. F. Dundas, Mrs. E. J. Lane, Mrs. A. E. Young, Mrs. C. L Reid, Mrs. P. C. Chapman, Miss Bar- bara Reid, Jim Jackson, Malcolm Stevens, Ian Hamilton and J. T. Watt. The decorations have been kindly lent by the Daily Prov- ince, snd were used in their rec- ent successful SnowbsU Frolic in th» Vakcouvyr, H&tgel. Bridge and Whist For those who prefer to play cards, tables of Bridge and Whist are being arranged uilder the convenership of Mr. and kirs. Sherriif, and pmzes will be given. After the cards are over theie will still be time for the players to enjoy an hour of dancing if they wish, as the same ticket admits to both dancing and cards. It will facilitate matters if those intending to play cards will phone Mrs. Sherriif at West 364L2, for reservation of tables, so that as far as possible, tables may be arranged in advance. Others on the Cards committee are Mrs. Wefis Crawford snd Mrs, Lestock B. Reid. Already a great many tables have been arranged for and the Bridge and Whist promises to be as popular as the Dance. Turkeys et ak Turkeys, and, if anyone don- ates anything else between this and then, "what have yous" will be raffled, and under the capable management of H. B. Stevens and W. Howard Leggatt should appeal to the sporting instincts of the company snd prove useful and amusing. As it is impossible to hase a successful dance without good music, James R. Mitchefi, the convener, has taken great care In the selection of his orchestra, and now announces that the ltomeo Perry Ave-piece orch&s- tra will be in attendance, ard fortunately Nick Wifiiamson. who has been such a goad friend to the Welfare Association, is io be one of the tive. Mr. Brooks, another High School master, is serving on the committee ivith Mr. Mitchell. Novel features ivill be introduced into the dances during the evening, Evening dress is optional.

They reviewed the past season, lived over again many of its exciting moments, discussed at length plans for the next season, and elected their oificers.. The president, Mr. Cromai Bruce, in his remarks noted that the attendance that evening was just about double what it nad been at the organization meet- ing a year ago, and stated that already another dozen gentle- men hsd indicated their inten- tion of joining the club next year.
