The sports program has been adopted, and particu- lars of it will appear in our next issue, also the general program of events. The tenders for the public address equipment were referred to a committee con- sisting of Councillors Elgar, Councillor Fiddes, and L. Brook- es with power to act. There will be no children's party, but a soft ball game will be staged in its place. The Better Baby Contest will probably take place on the Sat- urday preceding May Day, and forms for same will be available at Gemmifl's Drug Store and at the Dundarave Pharmacy by next Saturday, the 13th instant, The next meeting of the May Day Committee will take place at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, the 17th instant, in the council chamber. BASEBAI.L The baseball season will open in West Vancouver tonight when the local nine will take on the B.C. Coal team, in their flrst league game. Mr. Condon is a- gain looking after the interests of the hard ball players and hopes a good crowd will be on hand to lend its support. NORTH SHORE UNITED VERSUS LOCAI TEAhiS An unusually interesting foot ball match to close the season has been arranged for next Sat- urday, the 13th, at Ambleside Park. North Shore United, final- ists in the Dominion Champion- ship, have been invited to play the local football teams. Owing to the high calibre of the North Shore United and the fact that they are at the head of a Senior Division with an unbeaten rec- ord, it has been arranged that the opposition will be furnished by the West Vancouver Rangers for the flrst half of the game, and by 1Vest Vancouver United for the second period. The North Shore United are eonfldent of their ability to take the local teams, and the latter are just as sure of being able to hold the visitors, and a little more. This should be a wonderful game and it is hoped that there will be a real turnout of support- ers. Come yourself, tell your friends to come, and don't leave your tongue behind. Kick-oif at 3 p.m. hIAY DAY IeltIZE I.IST WELFARE NOTES, Although week by week for many months now parcels of clothing have been received by the local IVelfare Association, until a few days sgo nothing of any value has been found left in the pockets. Last week how- ever, in a parcel left annony- mously, there was found a pair of horn-rimmed spectacles. If the owner will please phone Mrs. W. B. SmaU at West 668L they can be returned. The response to last week' request for parcels of food and groceries was very much better, and for which the Association returns its thanks. Two parcels of groceries, two parcels of meat and six quarts of milk were received. Food parcels are still urgently needed every week. The pair of shoes sized 4)I which we asked for have also been received. Many thanks. There is still a very needy case which a pair of shoes size 13 would solve. Can anyone help? Has it ever struck you as you have walked about the streets of the municipality that the color of the clothes drying on the clothes lines has gradually been growing grayer? It is vir- tuafly an impossibility for a mother to get her washing a good color without the sid of proper washing soaps. Now this is something that simply cannot be afforded out of the weekly allowance, and this week we make a special appeal for such soaps, washing powder and ammonia. Elsewhere in this issue will be found announcement of the dra- matic evening to be staged on behalf of the welfare funds by Nrs. Bowman and her party. The Association hopes it will be well supported as cash Is always needed equally as much as cloth- ing and goods.
