Next Wednesday, the 16th instant, West Vancouver will come of age, it being twenty-one years ago since we started out as a separate municipality. In order to celebrate the event a special radio program will be given on that day from 7:30 to 8:SO p.m., through the courtesy of CJOR; those taking part being the West Vancouver Choral Society and the Dun- darave Ladies Choir as well as a number of the leading West Vancouver artists. Men prominent in the civic and business life of Vancouver will also give short addresses. In addition to this, the next issue of "Telephone Talk," the magazine of the B. C. Telephone Co., will be wholly a West Vancouver number. A considerable amount of water has come down from Hollyburn Ridge since those early days in West Vancouver, when the council held their meetings in a tent snd the muni- cipality consisted of only a few dwellings set down here snd there in the woods. In place of the trails which then did duty as roads we have a first class primary highway from end to end of the municipality as well as many miles of surfaced roads, while an up-to-date ferry system supplies the water transportation to the city instead of the row boats used by our pioneer settlers. Progress was slow for some years, but in 1926 West Vancouver gathered itself together and bounded forward, and since then it has never looked back. At the present mement it is one of the few municipalities in the province which has been able to balance its budget, and with the development scheme of the British Pacific Properties Ltd. noir in nrogress on the slopes of Hollyburn Ridge and all that is bound to accrue to the district from it both directly and in- directly we have every reason to feel quite confident of the future of West Vancouver. All West Vancouver artists taking part in the program sre reouea(od io take the 6:40 p.m. ferry on Wednesday from Ambleside Dock. Thanks! For the warm vesta sent for the sick woman; to the don n of tcn pounds of tea; to the donor of a cheque for 66.00. - Please! School-girls'hoes; week-end groceries are not nearly as plentiful as they were and are just as much needed. WEI.FARE NOTES Welfare Handicrafts and Home Cooking Sale The second of three H-ndi- crafts und Home-cooking Sa!cs, to be held in the Clachan, will be on Friday, March 17, from 2 till 5 p.m. Tea will be served at a small cost of ten cents. There will also be several tables of Bridge. The committee wish it clearly understood that the money for all goods sold at these sales is forwarded direct to the person who sends the goods for sale, and all money taken for the afternoon tea is used for the purchase of wool to be given out for knitting socks. In spite of the bad weather last month, the convener, Mrs. B. Hayes, was able to purchase four pounds of wool from the tea money, which is already being knit into socks for those who need them, and she was also abk to pay out sev- eral dollars for work sold. Again it is necessary to stress the necessity of sending in use- 0 ful articles and home cooking atreasonable prices to ensure a ready sale. Those intending to offer goods for sale are asked to notify Mrs. B. Hayes, Mrs. E. C. Bolin or Mrs. Cromar Bruce, who will be glad to give any further particulars. Home Gardening In order to be able to get away to a good start in providing for next winter's needs in the way of garden produce, those having vacant lots which they are will- ing to lend to the IVelfare As- sociation and which are suitable for gardens, are asked to notify either Nr. H. A. Walker or Rev, F. A. Ramsey as soon as pos- sibl .Beautifully turned soil, and well nurtured and watered ground will not produce veget- ables without seeds, and people on relief or out of jobs altogeth- er have no money to spend on seeds in spite of their ultimate value to the family table, so the Welfare Association is appealing for money to buy seeds. Any donations for this special pur- pose should be earmarked "For Seeds." MISS 5IOI.I.Y EDWARDS FORMING DANCliVG AND GYM CLASSES Miss Molly Edwards is now forming dancing and gym class- es, which she will conduct either in Hollyburn Pavilion or in the N. S. McDonald School of P. C. at Pender and Howe Sttreets in the city. Instruction will be given in tap and acrobatic danc- ing, limbering exercises, etc. Further information may be ob- tained by reference to the ad- vertisement in this issue. Sl'RING GARDEN TEA AT UNITED CHURCH Mr. Nimmo of Vancouver, will be the guest speaker at the Spring Garden Tea to be held on Tuesday, March 14th, in the Church Hall under the auspices of the Women's Association. Mr. Nimmo who is an expert in del- phiniums; daffodils, and alpine plants, is also keenly interested in the home garden with its dual purpose of supplying the table and the flower vase, and will take as his subject on Tuesday, "How to make the most of a small garden." As the subjejct is of such wide spread interest at this time it is hoped that men as well as women will avail themselves of this opportunity to hear this speaker who knows his subject and also how to de- liver it in an interesting and enter(sining way. In addition to the Gardening Talk a delightful program of instrumental and vocal music is to be presented by Mrs. V. VanSickle, Mrs. Bert Stockdale (of Vancouver), and Messrs. V. VanSickle, B. Short and Bratt. S. P. C. NOTES A regular meeting was held at the West Vancouver Socialist Hall, 1453 Marine Drive, on March 2nd. Amongst other busi- ness discussed it was decided to hold propaganda meetings alter- nately with business meetings. The next meeting which will be a business meeting will be held on March 16th, and a propa- ganda meeting will be held on March 30th, when members will give papers on Socialism and Education and Socialism and Re ligion. The public is especially invited to attend. WEST VAN. BROIVNIES On Thursday of last week the 1st West Vancouver Brownie Pack held an especially happy meeting -- all brownies being present. Miss Device, Deputy Prov- incial Commissioner, made a visit to the pack. Quite a num- ber of mothers and friends were also there Miss Davies joined in with the children's fun and told them many interesting things. The Brownies, who for several weeks have been busily working on badges, thoroughly enjoyed the jollification and happy break in the routine. Another special meeting will be held this Thursday when eight Brownies will receive ser- vice stars and three new Brovvn- ies will be enrolled, making the pack full to overfiowing. W. L.
