The West Van Pharmacy PHONE WEST 37 P E R S O N A L S BLACKFISH The blaekfish which every now and then comes up the inlet is the ca' ing whale of the North A t­ lantic, so named from its prac­ tice of following a leader or pilot whale. According to scientists, he lives largely upon squid or octopus. He also, it is said by local fishermen, enjoyes herring, pilchards and sometimes salmon. His penchant for octopi may be the answer to so many of the blaekfish having taken up resi­ dence in the Gulf of Georgia. It seems to be a favorite range for them, and at one time there was a blaekfish whaling station on Bowen Island. There are said to be great numbers of octopi in the waters of this Coast, and it is reported that some very large specimens n- are to be found in the rocks at r the bottom of the Lions' Gate. Small, tasty devilfish are fre­ quently caught in Burrard Inlet, while occasionally very large ones are caught here. The black- fish may be accounted for, there­ fore, because of the possibility of devilfish for dinner. Signalmen at Prospect Point mention a strange feature of the visits of blaekfish to the har­ bor. The big creatures which sometimes attain a length of twenty feet, are always seen when inbound, on a rising tide. They are never seen leaving the harbor. It is thought they pro­ ceed outward well under the wat­ er, and do not come to the surf­ ace until well out in the Gulf. Ornamental Buckles Mr. and Mrs. H. E Innes Ker, Esquimalt and Marine Drive, had as their guest over Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. John Banks of North Vancouver, who are building a spacious home on the waterfront at Sandy Cove.

High School Team in Semi-Finals "Being a rolling stone has its fascinations," says Mr. J. Vance, of the Dundarave Pharmacy, but he ain't going to roll no more. Having sojourned in near­ ly every town between Windsor and the Rockies, as a representa­ tive for various Drug firms West Vancouver looks like a good place to call home. Mr. Vance is gratified at the many expressions of good will shown him by new local acquaintances. On Tuesday of this week the West Vancouver High School Junior Soccer team played its last league game against Brit­ annia High School. The local boys won the game and also their section of the league. They are now in the semi-finals for the Junior Soccer championship of the High Schools. The boys have played their entire schedule without losing a game, having drawn one game and won all the others, and have scored 25 goals and have had on­ ly 4 goals registered against them. This is the 2nd season that West Vancouver High School has entered a team in the Junior League, and it is a creditable feat to have produced a winning team out of a small school having only 35 boys all told in competition with the large Vancouver High Schools. It speaks well for the way in which the boys have trained. SPEAK AND THINK K INDLY I f we only spoke more kindly of our friends each day, We would find our toil grow lighter; God repays Those who do not speak unkindly And we know We shall reap abundant harvest for we reap whate-er we sow. If we only thought more kindly of our fellow men, Daily looked for good in others, Even when We can see their faults and fail­ ings, Happier we would be And our hearts would ring with gladness.
