I'UBLIC MEETING in the High School Auditorium at 8 p.m., FRIDAY, Sept. 1st. For parents and guardians of students attending junior and senior high, who wish for information on the new high school courses. The IVest Vancouver Horticultural and Agricultural Soci- ety have completed afl arrangements for the floral exhibit which it is putting in this year's Canada Pacific Exhibition on behalf of the municipality. A plan has been prepared by an expert, but naturally it has to be worked out almost wholly with flowers, and for this reason and owing to the fact that it is a civic exhibit, every citizen is asked to make a contribu- tion of some of the best flowers in his garden. liiost of our residents have been to the exhibitions at Hastings Park, and are fully aware of the many thousands who are attracted by the floral exhibits staged annually there in competition. The road through Stanley Park with which is wrapped up the First Narrows bridge is now under discus- sion, and, should a plebiscite be found necessary, most of those thousands are going to have a vote. We want to drive home the fact that West Vancouver is a place of beautiful gardens, that those private gardens have flowers just as beautiful if not more so than any reared under the expert care of the Stanley Park gardeners, and that there are fifty Stanley Parks awaiting them here. The winning of one of the valuable prizes, though aB to the good, is not essential. The main point at issue just at this time is to sell the beauties of our municipality to the people of Greater Vancouver, and with this in view we are sure that afl our residents will give of their best liberally.

Dear Sir i A n announcement h a s been made that the West Vancouver Horticultural Society is sponsoring a Floral Display in the Can- ada Paciflc Exhibition which opens on August 30. This lii u n i c I 9 a I i t y M known far and wide as a community of homes, beau- tiful gardens, and with a natural setting that is dif- ficult to exceL It should be the desire of every good citizen that this display should be one of civic pride in order that the thousands of visitors to the Exhibition may see something that in quality and design wfll typ- ify the true spirit of West Vancouver. A display, worthy of the Siunicipality, is afl the more desirable at this time when West Vancoaver is receiv- ing such favorable attention in the eyes of the general public of this Province, and when our hopes are running very high. The Directors and mem- bers of the Horticultural Society are putting in a tre- mendous amount of work, and I would nrake a pereon- al appeal to every citizen who can do so to assisi by making a contribution of ilowers in order that their venture may be an out- standing succersr. What more appropriate publicity could we have, in this year of our "coming of age," than a floral display of real merit at this Prov- incial Exhibition? Yours faithfully, J. B. LEYLAND, Reeve. C. J.

The Welfare bus is chugging a- long up a very steep hill, and constantly changing gear to try to get over the top. Some of the useful activities such as boot repairs, etc., have had to be sev- erely curtailed to prevent a com- plete stoppage of the rescue car. It seems incredible that the residents of IVest Vancouver, always so public spirited, and so ready to help will allow a complete breakdown, when things generally are showing signs of brightening. Tbe ex- ecutive, placed in the car by citizens at a public meeting, have done their very best to al- leviate and often prevent suifer- ing, but if the wherewithal is not provided for their use their hands will be tied. A kindly thought prompted someone to send a gift of 65 last week part of a gift she had received. That is the spirit that makes the world go mund. A few mors of these thoughts and afl wouM be well. The Passing of the Third Fkror Bosk Dates to be marked at once on the calendar to prevent dis- appointment are Tuesday and Wednesday, September 19th and 20th, when the local Community Players will present "The Pass. ing of the Third Floor Back" at the Hoflyburn Theatre. A- part from the fact that local talent always attracts big audi- ences, the fact that Frank Vyvyan of the British Guild Players is directing the produc- tion, will certainh. mean packed houses. The production is being sponsored by the Welfare As- sociation. Mom of the play and players anon.
