ACTIVITIES DANCE FOR YOUNGER SET The Province newspaper carried ah editorial recently on the First Narrows Bridge with the evident intention of jkmr- liig'oil on the troubled waters, but unfortunately for them auDoar to have only added insult to injury. The bridge project* has been definitely turned down, for tliat is what the request for 1800 feet actually amounts to, and there is nobody.in.:yancouver...wha,does-.not-.think.that, bttiwa deliberately took that method of doing so. Their raiiiest was made contrary to the recomrneiidations of their own cabinet comhiittee, and departmental engineers, of Sir Alexander Gibb, and of a royal commission. It is being freely said on the streets of Vancouver that even the cabinet ap­ proved it, and that the insane finale waMthe work of Premier ̂ ̂*The people of Vancouver in giving an overwhelming pleb­ iscite for a bridge expected that its size wOuld be governed bv expert opinion. As the opmiori of every expert has been icmor ̂ the voice of the people has been deliberately flouted, and that in a supposedly democratic country. / Again, with winter upon us and unemployment rife m the dtv and province a contract, which Vvould bring in $6,000,000 of 'outside capital, is deliberately turned down without one reason which would stand outside a den of lunatics. In face'of all the above the Province editorial says *'We do not believe there is anything- approaching resentment in Vancouver over the governmeriFs decision. The nobility of France thought the same before the french Revolution. In this connection we regret to have to adniit that, although it does not appear on the official list of factory products, the manufacture of Reds is Canada's le^ing industry at present. The editorial of the Province sa p |u r tto : Vancouver should be building not for today, but for the ence to the request for a longer span. Should these British capitalists become disgusted and pull out, neither Vancouver no? Canada will have any future for in every big financial centre in the world as a land of hick financiers which it would be foolish to waste time or money on.

The committee convened by Mrs. J. McIntyre and Mrs. K. B.
