KESPEARE Telephone: North 428 CORRESPONDENCE The Editor, West Van News. Dear Sir:--Is it not time that the mysterious Subadar reveal- e&l his identity? Rumor says It is the Editor himself! Aml I for one would not like to think 60. An abler pen than mine has «lready replied to his ridiculous remarks about Socialism. Why docsn't he find out what Social- ism really is? And in his last he raves about the great G.B.S. and expresses Chrisaan-like wishes for his death. I often think he hides his identity under a nom de plume because he is ashamed of his puerile utterances. So I chal- lenge him to tell us who he is. Yours truly, GRACE W.

The gate swung open sharply, As Peter rang the bell. "Come in," he said, »and take a harp; You'e had enough of -- er- trouble." By THE BUM POET. This poetical effusion, the pro- duct of somebody unknown to me, is published contrary to the stnct rule of this paper, because it is against me personally, and a msn is s poor sport who can' take a joke against himself or defeat with a smile. Might I suggest, though, that it should have been "bald head," not "bared head," a terrible over- sight. --Editor.
