B.C., FRIDAY, JULY I0,jl931 No. 7 THE OUtLOOK WEST VANCOUVER » TENNIS CLUB While, generally speaking, we confine ourselves strictly "1 ft-local topics, the present dfepression is affecting every in- 'Mted locality, both large an^. small, and as such, the mora-. forium on war debts, which is likely .to become an accomi)lished. fSpf s of paramount importance to West Vancouver. While mav hot see an immediate improvement in general business, UiP 'ft will be an immediate access of .hope in every one, and Hflt bv itself will result before long in. new projects being started which have been hanging fire because of the dark cloud that has oppressed all of us." ■ ^ We come of a race-with a reputation for always losing tVift firsfbattle and always winning the last. We have carried. " that Dhlegm and obstinate disregard of defeat into our, business ■ fe as Well, and in peace as in war it is the one thing which has always "put the wind iip" people, o f other nations. , We in West Vancouver, as in other .places, need t]ia.t_spirit ..i ■ fodav as never before; Time& are hard, as we know; and we have been watching and Waiting for the reconstruction of the ' Second Narrows bridge span and.the building of a First Nar- ■*°"̂ Vrom̂ Sl accounts it is altogether probable that in a,few, days the money will be forfhebrning for the new span, and we hear that'already some work has been' done as regords the fabrication.' Fifty-two contestants took " part in an Anierican Tournament held by the West Vancotiyer Tennis Club on Dominion Day. ' Some very good tennis was wit­ nessed and the prizes were cap- , tured after^an exciting struggle by Miss Snooks, Sanderson and Bill Durand. Lunch and tea were ' served at the Club and a. .ipost enjoyable day was spent. The West Vancouver Tenniis Club gave a.party atJ'The Cla- chan" last Friday, at which some 45 members were present. The evening was pleasantly speht-ino- ; playing Jbridge and dancing. Legion ^tes OnANGGMEN TO CELEBRATE IN ROYAL CITY 4 ^ J ' Hiff t Last Monday evening at a gen­ eral meeting in the Legion Mem­ orial Hall, H. B, Stevens was elected president of .the Canadian Legion, West Vancouver branch, in place of Major B. H. Harrison, who resigned consequent upon his moving to Vancouver.^W. T. Atwood was chosen 1st vice-pres­ ident and T. E. Batchelor 2nd -vjce=president._____. . GO TO EAGLE HARBOUR We -are still as optimistic as ever, arid we think With rea ̂ 'son about the First Narrows bridge. It must be rem^bered,, however, that deals involving millions of dollars and heayy and complicated construction work cannot, be'completed overnight as in the case of the purchase of a small business or the erec­ tion of an average sized house. ' Meanvvhile West Vancouver is growing iff spite of the lack- of adequate transportation facilities across the Inlet.- For the last three months the building permit's haVe been approximate­ ly $20,000 per month, while for the first half of this year the -total stands at-$102,925.--This figure is $10,435 more than for = ■^he-first-six months of 1930,-showing clearly^ at, West-Van- - couver residents and Greater Vancouver generally have a sin­ cere faith in the future of our municipality, for nearly all this ̂ building represents- the erection ■ ofr new homes by property owners for themselves. • ̂ ' - ' • - " ' There is an old adage that "a man must work out h ir own salvation." It. is well for us"to remember-that this applies with equal 'force to municipalities. We of West Vancouver and the North Shore generally must stand together for what. is due and coming to us, and, if we will only do so, there is no­ thing which.,„can prevent our; attaining those things and that prosperity to which our locality and natural advantages .enj- title us. . In these summer days un­ rivalled opportunities are offered * , to the pleasure seeker and pic- , -- nicker ^t Eagle-Harbour, where C..'F.
