Thin waa sKown „ last 'I'liiD-Hday night in the high Hchooj gym when the Hchool tumhii.ng dub put „on their an­ nual acrobatic diaplay. Amid the boiHterou.s applaime of the large crowd that turned out to sup­ port the studeiitH in their gi*ace- ful efforts at amhidextery the show'" wen over without a hitch. ' The evening got away with the whole* oluh doing rudimentary mat-work, Immediately after this a group of about twenty stars-to-be from i^he public .schopln went through a smart tumbling routine and received a big hand from the audience. Ne.xt the parallel bars were placed in the middle of the floor and seven senior boys displayed "thoir no mean a b ility in the per­ formance of ^ large number of assorted stunts. The highlight of this section came when Mr. Gillespie, the gym instructor, brought the crowd off their seat.s with a masterly exhibition of the more difficult tricks on Uio same bars. Following this came ir.snappydrillTn^whiclrtliewlTole club took part, a tumbling dis- play by .the senior boys, and which brought many an "oh'! from the onlookers. Niixt. on the 'program was a sei'ics bf human pyramids, some e X f re m c 1 y complicated and graceful in design, all exceeding­ ly well executed. G('rry Matheson of the Pn>- vincial Recreation Centre, was ask<!(l to siH*ak while the senior boys miaVle preparations for the final act. After his short speech the lights in the gym were turn­ ed off. The curtain then ro.se and there, painted in gold and flooded from head to foot in light which showed to the l>est ad­ vantage their fine phy.si(iues, .six boys--rJim Markle, Ro.ss Rathie, I\de Greer, Jud Armstrong, Gor­ don Lindskog and Sid Brepden, • po.sed a.s a group representing a Canadian foolbairpractice. Five other different group poses fol­ lowed, each receiving tremendous ajiplau.se. It was thi.s rather stip-tling and spectacular climax tô -a really good show that sent the crowd home well content at having spent their evening well.̂ l^he proceeds, amounting to" $J.'L75, went towards obtaining new books for«the high School library. "Viaitor;" i s "your"daddy"air-homer?- Small Sdii; N o. D.addy has not been hero since mother caught Santa Glovs The EkJitor, West "Van'H ew i/ ̂ ' Sir,-- The North Shore is.said to have the greatest winter sporta area on the v,,conlh)en needing only development on an adequate plan to make it a mecca for skiers and hikers. Mr. bm- cluir's report is in the hsnd.s of the G6vernment, who are report­ ed to be in favor of the .scheme, which includes . our Hollyburn ' -.Ridge. Mr. Maiming,, the chief forrester, is quoted as saying that *the growth of thi.s enter- pri.Se depends in considerable measure on the foresight of municipal officials, and refers to the po.ssible obj«*ction that may be raised Ixjoause of the water-., rsheds. -- West Vancouver draw.s most of its water .supply from creeks which drain the Ridge. Difficulties have ajready arisen about the 'proli.'clion of these drainage areas, and it i.s que.s- tionable how long we can con­ tinue to use the water without endangering the health of the community. ' . The Council announced la.st. December their intention to sub­ mit a by-law for $150,000 for the purpose o f'installing an adcciuate main from the (^apilano .system. From this it would appear that they plan To draw an increasing supply from the Capilano, .and eventually to make that our chief source - of .supply. This shows wi.sdom and foresight, and should meet with the approval of every citizen. It would appear, how­ ever, that'the Council intend to .still use the supply from Broth­ ers Creek;' and Cypress Creek: they (juite naturally hesitate to discard the old systems on which .so much has been spent in times past. Would it not be better to make the change now and to waste no more expense upon an inadequate and questionable source of supply V The projected development of the Ridge as a park area gives the Council an opportunity to show their mag­ nanimity and public spirit by of­ fering to relinquish their riglits on Brothers Creek and Cypress Creek for the benefit of the people o f CreatiM* Vancouver. At the same time it furnishes an opportunity that may never bb- -cur-againTTo claim^compensation for the sacrifice of such rights.

Included in the list are p^ladium, titanium, molybde­ num, tungsten , tind midium. Beuyllium -- used as an alloy to harden copper -- was formely worth about $500 a pound, but due to the demands of motor cai* building it has declined in-price to about $35 per pound.
