Hooper, of a handsome oxidized copper bronze brooch badge emblematic of their Miajesties' visit to Brit ish Columbia. The interesting feature Is th a t i t is of local origin, having been designed by Charlie P . Bailey of Vancouver, and made from British Columbia mined copper and also manu factured by William Summerfield of Vancouver. This brooch badge is termed B.C.'s own royal souvenir and depicts in bold relief the outstanding features of our province both in scenic beauty and industry. The Lions' Gate Bridge forms the span of the brooch with their majestic profil^ appearing ju s t inside,, the. towering supports of the bridge while beneath the ripplingwaters of the F irs t Narrows and in centre is the provincial coat of' arms. In the lower right, and left corners are symbols of the logging and mining industries. Sum ounting the entire design is the crown of the Empire. Provincial officials .and digni-i taries have paid high tribute to the thoroughness and beauty of this unusual design which sym bolizes 'to the fullest extent all th a t is elemental of picturesque British Golumbia. ^Merehants Football Club 1st Division Last Saturday the team enter tained Kerrisdale a t Ambleside Park when the boys really went to tow hr^hning^by the score of 5 goals to nil.

Percy got two more, com- liletlng the hat tr ick ; then Tom Donaldson registered a fourth on a nice first time drive, following 'which. Abe Cripps sent in a hard drive from 20 yards which had the Kerries goalie well beaten. But the righ t back came from no where to stop the ball with his hands on the goal lino. However, Perri made no mistake with the spot' kick. Despite the score against them the Kerries never gave up trying.
