B.C., THURSDAY, JU LY 11th. 1940 No. 1̂ HAPPINESS SUN TAN CAMPAIGN " THE GLORIOUS TW ELFTH" The dilijrent seeker afte r happiness never finds it. If fhoro is one thing above all els© which we want, we discover. It kust those of us successful in the quest, th a t it does not oAt sfv or else is dust and ashes in our mouths. Any pleasure we S iv e comes from the joy of struggle for it. And while ■ miiiiNince his first advent on earth has always s,^ught happi- the mere fact of the impossibility of its a t ta i r ^ e n t by seeker should have convinced , him long ago th a t he was n o t p l a c e d here priinarily for such a purpose. , , The old Roman philosophers were quite alive to this im- Dosaibility, more particularly in the case of the pursuit of Lasure.

The Stoics, on the other hand, cultivated an in­ difference to all pleasures in order to avoid the disappointment th^sooner or later always followed. v , . . " t,, . Probably there was never a time when mankind so sought happiness in pleais'iire as in th e years, following the Great War as naturally also discontent was m ore,un iverp l than ,in anv-modern period. It was, of course, to a certain extent a rebound from the trials and sufferings of■ th a t g reat confliot, but the chief reason was undoubtedly, the greater opportuni­ ties for pleasure rendered available to the average man by the application of scientific discovery. Cheap transportation, the radio, the auto and the harnessing of electricity in various ways were among the things which threw opeh to civilized mankind as a whole a world closed to him before as well as giving him the time to enjoy them. W hat had been regarded previously as luxuries became necessaries as life became more comfortable, and, but for the almost universal love of sport, must-have-jresultedJn-a_generaUiecad©nceJui_the-moreLpanly__ • i ' rrM. ;> r» 4« 1 • < o -, The "Sun - Tan" Campaign for the Canadian Red.Cross Society, West Vancouver Branch, has The members of UO.IU No. 2990 vvill m eet in the Oraiige Hall on Friday, 12th July, At 8 COMING EVENTS Friday and Saturday, August 2nd and 3rd-^Toc H Carnival in the Orange Hall. been started, so that the' busi- a.m. then proceed to Vanoodyw ness girls in West Vancuover ' ' ^ can- donate the ir contributions to the branch.
