I ito ix ef of cf ig ( 1 ut C'd P RIDGE NOTES The value of First Aid know- ledge was ably demonstrated by George Smith, when a young fel- low broke his leg on the ski hill recently. Smith commandeered the ski of 0 near-by youngster and, using it for a splint, strap- ped the leg in place preventing the excited crowd from moving the unfortunate skier until he was securely strapped. A goad supply of blanket strips end splints should be on hand at the ski camp. Pat Douet is acquiring fine style in landing and the Tele- mark, by steady practice under the tutelage of the old viking, Chris Johnson. We think Douet is going to be a fine skier. Some day when the Ridge Trail is turned into the hiker's dream of a perfect trail, our teachers should take their clas- ses en masse to the Ridge. In Oslo, a skier, states it is quite the thing for the schoolmaster in that town, to declare a holiday and take the children out in the snow end sun for the day, giving them an extra hour in the gym- nasium the next day, to take away the tired feeling. CORRESPONDENCE The Editor, West Van News. Dear Sir:--At their last meet- ing before the election, the Muni- cipal Council placed themselves on record favoring "Contribu- tory Unemployment Insurance.o Two years ago the School Board recommended to Premier Bcn- nett the adoption of the "prin- ciple that the first duty of gov- ernment should be to administer the afFairs of the country sothat every man end woman who is willing and able, should have the right, and opportunity to work in order to support them- selves and families, not relief or charity." We did this particu- larly on account of the many young people who were leaving our schools with absolutely no chance to apply themselves as useful citizens, for which by much hard work they were so well prepared, and which had been no small expense to the ratepayers. It would be very interesting to know the reaction of youth. Does it want to become a "poor parasite'?" (We already have the "rich parasite") or does it want to make such fundamental changes in our social system as will'enable it to play a respons- ible part in our national life? I would say to Youth, speak for yourself and insist on being heard. Yours truly, TOM RUSSELL.
