Vol. XV HOLLYBURN P .0 ,, WEST VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 2nd, l941 N o. 38 COMMUNITY SPIRIT Tiiie was when West Vancouver was known throughout the province for its strong and active community spirit. , We were n«t a large community in those days, but it was our nride Unit anything of a social or organizational nature must fully supported with the i-esult that there were few, if any, f-iilures And, when oux. organizations took part in outside romDctitions, quite frequently^., the same community spirit mined us to victory over those from larger districts and lowns Unfortunately, even then our Icical merchants did not receiv(3 the support to which they were entitled, but they at least did come in for a reasonable share of public custom. It was, of course, inevitable that the opening of the Lions' Gate Bridge should have tended to end this period of a self- contained community by making us for all intents and pur- noses a suburb of the city, but not to the extent that one learns is now the case. We hear that local merchants are guilering from a growing habit on the part of our residents, of dealing in the city. Also a number of organizations, which in the past were strong and active, have disappeared or are in process of gradual decay from lack of support of the, mem­ bership and public. ̂ ' . These are not healthy signs, nor do they augur well for the future o ̂ West Vancouver. No municipality or suburb, however favored by nature, can expect to be considered a desir­ able place of residence which has inadequate stores, and no social or organizational life worth mentioning. People will not continue to reside nor will strangers settle in a municir pality which has nothing to recommend it but its qualities as ■a-beautiful' dormitory. They expect fine stores and an active community life as' well. ̂ ̂ , . . . ̂ , At the present moment West Vancouver is blessed with up-to-date stores, where goods'can be purchased of the same quality and at the same prices, or cheaper; than those ruling --If"fiot-as™large~as-the-V-ancouver~stores7~they-- PRESENTATIONS MADE TO .
