This is recommended in order to make the reduction in salaries at the outset as small as pos- sible. Your Committee assumed that no interruption of educa- tional facilities now in effect could be considered, and that the Council would approve a net expenditure not exceeding that of 1931. In the event of contin- gencies arising later in the year, corresponding ad j u st ments might be forced on the Board, and would have to be made in other than general expenditures; but if the suggested estimate is accepted by the Board and ap- proved by the Council, the BoardN'eed not contemplate any change in the work of the schools this session. "In making this report, the Finance Committee wish to add that it kept in mind the primary duty of the Trustees to provide the best education and the most complete that finances would permit, as well as the co-relative service calculated to prevent waste of teaching effort. It was st the same time mindful 'of the consideration due the tax-pay- ers,and of the duty we share with the Council in maintaining the credit of the Municipality." The reduction in salaries in the adopted estimates, which a- mounted to 20%, wss accepted by the teaching stsff, and is in R.k effec from January 1st. The isalary of the Secretary was re- duced by $200 per annum. Trustee C. T. Kendrick was re. appointed to the chairmanship I.EGION W. A. The regular monthly meeting of the W.

The Club has a number of new mern- bers, and is showing intense interest in world af?airs. The lecture for this week, by Mrs. J. Stuart Jamieson, eras on "The Present World Outlook." In Great Britain, said the speaker, a group of econoirists, inciudiag Prof. Sod,lf's)or C. H. Douglas ana F. Henderson, were expounding the "New Eco- non.ie.s," which had tu do with our present method of distribu- tion, that is, our monetary sys- tem, and were suggesting changes. Prominent Conserva- tives were urging their party to ct&operate with this group, as an alternative to Socialism. kleamwhile the government an- nounces temporary gains in trade, offset by a continued shrinkage in world trade. In Europe the decline in trade is forcing central European countries back into a state of barbarism. Japan, oec«use of the shrink- age of world trade, and because of her dependence on exports, is determined to hold a solid eco- nomic asset by her control of Manchuria and parts of China. The people of the United States, with workless men equal- ing those of the whole of Europe were slowly learning that inter- national debts must be paid in goods; snd that the U.S. must accept goods if she is to be paid. All,over the civilized world a new question is being asked: Just what is the nature of debts in genera17 Is it true that debts are increasing faster than production'! If so, what sre we going to do about it? New members may join the Club at any time, or individual lectures may be taken. At the next meeting on Wednesday, February 15, Mrs. Jamieson will lecture on "Is Democracy Doom- ed? Winter Spore an ihe Nonh Shore pe '" .Ca ~ I I 4 COUNCH.

The clerk was also directed to forward s copy to the Commis- sioner of North Vancouver City and District with a request that it be endorsed by him. HOLLYBURN PUBI.IC LIBRARY The annual meeting and e)ec- tion of officers of the Hollyburn Public Library Association will take place tomorrow (Friday) at 8 p.m. in Hollyburn Public School. It is part&cularly re- quested that every subscriber make a point this year of being p&v&sent, as in the past thh ger; eral meetings of the association have not been well attended in spite of the fact that the library has been making steady pro- gress for years. The present library board intend to resign, feeling that they are entitled to a rest after having been in of- fice for the last three years. FOR NEW ORGAN . A good choir is often ruined by a bad organ, and a good choir can be an excellent one when accompanied by a really good in- strument.

A concert of s first class order is being planned by them for Friday, February 17, at 8:15 p.m. when they will have the assistance of several well- known city artistes.

Knight, tenor, another favorite; A. J. Addy, the popular choir- leader, baritone, and Cardo Smalley, s very promising young student violinist often heard on radio programs. 5lr. Smalley was recently a guest soloist for the Bach Choir. HOI.LYBURV HAI.L Next Sunday evening at 7:30 o'lock klr.

Comparing the report with that for December it wiU be seen that the need for shoes and rub- bers hss increased from 67 pairs distributed in December to 86 in January, and the cost of repairs has also increased from $40.95 to 841.70, not much, but the wrong way.
