PROTEST LEGION LICENSE V A very general feeling has been manifested in the munici- pality against a Veterans'lub license being granted to the local branch of the Canadian Legion. On May 23rd Reeve Leyland wrote a personal letter to the president of the branch in which he expressed the opinion that, while having no jurisdiction in the matter, he doubted whether a license would be for the best interests of either the branch or the municipality, for which rea- son he trusted that very serious consideration would be given before any decision was made. Protests have also been sent to the Liquor Control Board by the council, the board of Police Com- missioners, and by a meeting of citizens which contained repre- sentatives from almost every organization in West Vancou- ver. In addition a letter was sent to the Legion asking that a committee from the citizens'eeting meet the Legion execu- tive to discuss the matter. Furthermore other public bodies including West Vancouver P.T.A. have registered a protest against the license. Petitions have been placed in the following places for any wishing to sign same: George Hay's office, 14th and Marine; Gemmill's Drug Store, 14th and Marine; J. T. Watt's office, 1744 Marine Drive; David Morgan's office, 26th and Mar- ine; Blow's Tea Rooms, West Bay; A. B. Cox, Caulfeild; Mc- Cartney's Bungalow, 29th and Marine. SOFTBALL Standing Second Half W.
