I933 No. 15 lew PEP rih ~WE, Ri, E 4 Rw. iVE t -"16'i AMBLESIDE BEACH p ~ In the eight years and over during which this publica- tion has been West Vancouver's own home newspaper we have repeatedly written editorials advocating the clearing of our beaches. We pointed out that such clearing would in- evitably result in largely increased traffie for our ferries st just those times when they were comparatively empty; that city pleasure seekers would travel in the boats coming back from Vancouver in the morning snd would return in I the boats going over in the late afternoon and evening to bring our residents home from their day's work. The clear- ing of Ambleside Beach was started by last year's reeve and council, who are in office this year, and further work was done in the last few months. The present hot spell has been our first touch of real summer weather, and already our prophecy is coming true. s The ferry records are now showing a perceptible increase in traffic at the periods of the day we mentioned due to city folk coming over to Ambleside Beach. And natursfly as the rip ( b ach becomes better known their numbers will largely in-eac E2 crease. kEE 4 The reeve and council are to be congratulated on theirinitiative in this matter. It is to be hoped that eventually the whole of Ambleside Beach will be cleared, and also that Alt. the work will be extended to include sections of beach in C(El. other parts of the municipality. Not only is the actual outlay small, but there is now tangible proof that therein lies a solu- tion of eventually making our ferries pay not only operating but capital and depreciation charges. ~m + ANNOIINCEMENT WEI.FARE NOTES Ei GVE.

West Vancouver, under the auspices of the Horticultural Society, have decided to make a floral entry in the Canadian Pacific Exhibition, representa- tive of a variety of flowers for which West Vancouver is well- known. A special appeal is made to afl those who may be interest- ed in contributing to this entry, to attend the parlor show, when committees will be struck for completing arrangements for ob- taining contributions to the Ex- hibit. Reeve Leyland has been re- quested to speak on this behalf at the meeting. H. S. 1YOOD, ES(L, K.C., I.IBERAL CANDIDATE It will be recalled that at the Liberal Convention held in the K.P. Hall, North Vancouver, B.C., on July 26th, last, Mr. H. S. Wood, K.C., of West Vancou- ver, was nominated ss the Lib- eral Candidate. At the same time another meeting was held under the Chairmanship of My. Thomas Mills, which endorsed Mr. J. hL Bryan, who hsd already an- nounced that he would contest the seat as sn Independent can- didate. Efforts made by Mr. Bryan to obtain recognition from The Hon. T. D. Pattuflo, the Liberaj Leader, have not been successful as would appear from Mr, Pat- tuflo's reply to Mr. Mills, which is as follows: August 16th, 1933. iMr Thomas Mills North Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:-- I am in receipt of your letter of July 81st, in which you set out your objections to the pro- ceedings of the Liberal Nomin- ating Convention held in North Vancouver on July 26th last. I note that you maintain that the Convention purporting to have been held by you was the only properly constituted con- vention. I am afraid that I am unable to see wherein you have established the constitutionality of your meeting. It is very difficult for one not on the ground to grasp fully the many matters of local consider- ation, but it does seem to me the duty of the members of the party to adjust their differences prior to the holding of a convention, and further, it is the duty of all Liberals in North Vancouver to see to it that the seat is not lost to the Liberal cause. I am sending a copy of this letter to the Secretary af the North Vancouver District Liber- al Association. Yours faithfufly, "T. D. PATTULLO" There will be a Girls'xhibi- tion Softball game on Saturday evening, August 19th, 1983, st G:15 p.m. between a )Vest Van- couver AU Star team and the I.X.L. Laundry team from Van- couver.
