VANCOUVER, B. C, < DCTOBER 28, 1920 Number 3 'Varsity Draws With South Hill EXCITING FINISH TO CLOSE GAME 'Varsity soccer fans (they seem to lie very few in number) were delighted with the excellent form shown by the soccer team on Saturday last when they drew with the South Hill eleven. The score was 1-1. The 'Varsity goal came early in the first half, when Crute placed a free kick neatly in one corner pf the net. Crute, as usual, put up a sterling game, and his score was a feature. The free kick was awarded some distance outside the penalty area, but Ed. was equal to the occasion. The South Hill score was made on a penalty kick in the second half. Wolver- ton's big feet had somehow got tangled up with a South Hill man while the latter was in mid-air, and a penalty was awarded. The College soccer men owe a lot to Henderson for the brilliant goal-keeping which he has put up in every game this season. He is wonderfully cool, and rarely misses a chance to clear. Crute and Wolverton are two of the best backs in the second division, and their playing has saved 'Varsity many a time this season. It is the forward line that needs improvement, if a casual observer, who has seen several games, may be allowed a suggestion. The forwards are fast, and play a very neat game, but they are sadly lacking in their shooting. A little strengthening there will assure 'Varsity of a leading position in the league. Bobby- Jackson plays an unexcelled game at centre half, and he is ably supported by Jimmie Mitchell and George Cant. But until there is an improvement in the shooting of the forwards, the team cannot win its games. The new sweaters showed up to advantage, and every man on the team was proud to wear the College colors instead of borrowed sweaters. The soccer team has had the misfortune to meet all the best teams of the league in its first three games, and, as its members are showing up better each week, it would seem entirely safe to predict that it will be in the running for the league honors. The team lined up as follows: Goal, Cliff Henderson; half-backs, Jimmie Mitchell, Bobby Jackson, George Cant; forwards, Johnny MacLeod, Rushbury, Jock Lundie, Merkel, and Rex Cameron. Juniors and Sophs Brave the Rain ARTS '22 Some thirty members of Arts '22 have learnt the charm of a comfortable cottage in the wilderness when the rain comes down. The class hike to Lynn Valley on Wednesday was a huge success, thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Arkley, whose house was the base of operations during the day. In the intervals of wandering by the creek, the party enjoyed two satisfying meals, reviewed recent songs, and played cards. Thrilling incidents were too frequent to be listed. Noteworthy was Jimmie's consumption of a whole cake, while interfering with shingle bolts proved disastrous to more than one adventurer. Two prominent journalists won the spotlight by being lost for a time, and fording the torrent. But the palm for versatility must go to Dr. Sedgewick, who dispensed beans and music, or performed on the horizontal bar, without turning a hair. ARTS '23 The foresight of the sophomore committee which was placed in charge of arrangements for the hike last Wednesday was responsible for its entire success. About 75 enthusiastic '23 people gathered at the 9.40 ferry and crossed over to North Vancouver. George Shipp caused a diversion by getting himself arrested by the authorities. He was haled before the captain of Ferry No. 2, and it was only after long argument on the part of Arts '23 leaders tlat he was released. His only offence was to jump over the railing of the ferry in his rush to be the first to land. On the way up to Capilano Canyon the hikers created considerable disturbance, pre-empting an entire street car for themselves, and running up quite a bill for broken glass. Having arrived at the Canyon View Hotel, Capilano, they proceeded to make merry. Lunch was served in the pavilion of the hotel; and in the afternon, when Jupe Pluvius commenced operations, they were able to dance and defy the rain. Miss Eveleigh, Miss McLennan and H. M. Cassidy, members of the committee, deserve the credit of having saved the day. 'VARSITY VS. CENTRALS, BROCKTON POINT, SATURDAY Shocking Scenes at Smoker SCIENCE MEN MAKE MERRY AT PAVLOWA Do you want to know what all that laughing and cheering was about that you heard last Saturday night? "Well, them was those there Science guys, and it come right slam bang from Pavlowa Court." Shortly after 8 o'clock Dean Brock set the ball rolling for the fourth annual smoker by addressing a few words to the students. He brought forth the advantages enjoyed by our men over those of the older universities, namely, a faculty with practical experience, a good student spirit, excellent laboratory equipment, and practice in roughing it. He also mentioned the three new departments of Forestry, Nursing and Mechanical Engineering which were introduced this year. The smoker was then declared open. The first item on the programme, as announced by our president, Sid Anderson, was a turn from the Regent Cabaret, represented by Teddy Magnus, Verna Taylor, Mary Tokke, Betty Lee, Edie Baker and Jean Spencer. Owing to the greater experience and personal attractions of the members of the Faculty, some of the students were rather disappointed in not being able to make a better impression upon the fair ones. Dr. Davidson then honored us with a few of his original jokes, and also prepared us for one that Mr. Killam was about to tell. He ended his remark by explaining, "Why is an honorary president?" Lillian Gilbert, assisted by Richard Willis, from the Sullivan Cabaret, entertained us with several songs and dances. Three very snappy songs were given by Mr. Kent, the big hit being "I'm On tue Staff," after which Mr. West favored us with several of his mysterious tricks, such as putting a four-bit piece through Sid Anderson's head. However, someone gave this one away by explaining that there was nothing there to stop it! S. A. Kamino, Koyama and Okijaima gave some very fine exhibitions of Japanese fencing and jiujitsu. Wallace Baker and Clegg topped off the evening by displaying their skill as pugilists in a three-round bout, Rae and Coffin acting as seconds. Thus ended a most joyful evening, for which we are deeply indebted to the efforts of our energetic committee, namely, Sid Anderson, Mike McLennan, Neil McCallum, Bill Scott and Peewee Evans.

THE PLAYERS' CLUB RECEPTION Much credit is due to the executive of the Players' Club for the unqualified success of the reception given to the new members last Friday evening. Amid an array of autumn leaves, corn and sheaves of grain, the revellers glided over the floor to the tune of an excellent orchestra; the harsher tones of the piano, drums and banjo being pleasingly softened by the soothing tones of Mr. Goldstein's saxophone. A broad-faced harvest moon smiled down upon the happy throng; but more especially did its beams appear to be directed towards the cosy-corner, where the patronesses, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Larson and Mrs. Wood, comfortably reclined in easy-chairs. During the first part of the evening the doors were closed upon the western end of the auditorium, but after the supper- dance a snowy table was revealed, daintily decorated with flowers and red-shaded candle-sticks, while large plates of delicious cakes and sandwiches put the finishing touches to a scene of beauty and abundance. The excellence of the supper was equalled only by that of a large bowl of punch, which, through its qualities as a thirst-quencher, held a place among the many thjngs which will make the memories of that evening pleasant to all concerned. Although the judges have spent two arduous days over the Christmas play try-outs, they are still undecided as to the placing of some of the characters; but by next week we hope to have more definite information for "Ubyssey" readers. NEW DRAMATIC SOCIETY On Monday, October 25th, a meeting of students interested in producing plays in French was held. It was proposed to organize a club for this purpose in the near future. A committee was elected to draw up a constitution and to make arrangements for a meeting early next week for the election of officers. The committee consists of Miss McConnell, Miss McLennan, Miss Anderson, Miss Dallas, and Mr. Coope. I.O.D.E. CAPT. SCOTT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED Among the many University problems considered at the last sitting of the Senate was the question relating to the I. O. D. E. Capt. Scott Memorial Scholarship to be awarded to the most efficient and most practical third-year distinction student in Biology. After carefully considering the situation, the Senate awarded the scholarship to Norman Leon Cutler, who, we all agree, has well merited this consideration. As a result of his summer's work, we will soon have access to a splendid clasi- fied collection of beetles, bugs, butterflies and other insects that are found in the Kootenay district. Like a true scientist, however, "Norm" is a college sport, and, whether it be a call to lead us in a "theatre night thriller,' by dashing through town as a frantic woman in dreamland attire, or to be head "coon ' director of the coons' box at the Orpheum, he will just wink his scientific eye and answer, "Tuum est."

Smythe and Granville October 28, 1920 THE UBYSSEY 'VARSITY SECONDS SLAUGHTER ROWERS The 'Varsity Seconds waded through the Rowing Club Seconds to the tune of 13-4 on Saturday. The weather was nice and cool and the ground was dry, so that it was an ideal day for Rugby. Resplendent in the cast-off sweaters of last year's Senior team, our fighting fifteen lined up promptly at 2.20. Captain Hurst lost the toss and was given the kick-off. "Cosine" sent the ball into foreign territory, and the game was on. Play see-sawed up and down the field for a few minutes, until 'Varsity was awarded a free kick near the Rowing Club line. With a splendid place kick, Hurst sent the ball spinning between the posts and put 'Varsity three points up. From then on the issue was never in doubt, and the play was kept in the Rowing Club end of the field. The next scoring was done by Ed. Solloway when he dived over the line for a touch from a three-quarter rush. About five minutes later the forwards made a sally down the field and Hodgson scored, but the try was not converted. The whistle blew, with 'Varsity pressing hard. Score, 9-0. The opening of the second half put 'Varsity on the defensive, and Rowing Club scored on a penalty kick. This revived our men, and they resumed the play of the first half. Hurst took a chance and put 'Varsity four more points in the lead by a drop kick over the bar. Hurst, the 'Varsity captain, was the life and soul of our team, taking part in nearly every play and scoring seven of the thirteen points. His kicking was a feature of the game. Purdy, our wing three-quarter, also played a good game, making many good runs and tackles. Of the forwards, Hodgson and Meekison were the shining lights. Rout Harvey, who played for us last year, effectively supported the Rowing Club at full-back. The personnel of the 'Varsity Seconds is: Hodgson, Hatch, Swanson, Wallace, Meekison, Jones, Gunning, Underhill, Scott, Hurst (captain), Solloway, C. Jones, Russell, Purdy and Anderson. The work of the referee was exceedingly fair and an exhibition of how a game should be handled. "He called 'em as he saw em, and he saw em as they were." LADIES' GRASS HOCKEY There will be a hockey practice at Bridge Street grounds on Friday at 3.15 p.m. The coach, Mrs. Boving, will be there to choose a team for the coming matches. Everybody come!

There are still a limited number of tickets, and these may be secured from the president, Miss Harrison, or from the treasurer, Miss Verchere. TENNIS "Mickey" McDougall, tennis champ, for 1919, won in three straight sets from Harold MacLean, this year's singles champion, in the challenge match which took place at Laurel courts on Tuesday. Both men played excellent tennis; but Mickey proved his superiority, winning 6-0, 6-2, 6-3. INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL The following schedule has been issued by the committee in charge of the inter- class basketball league. The first-mentioned team in each case will be the home team, which must provide the referee. The home team will report the results of each game to Mr. K. Carlyle, Science '24. A win will count two points and a draw one point. A default will count as a win, but if both teams default no points will SKATING THE RINK HAS OPENED, and thousands are taking advantage of splendid pleasant hours gliding over the finest sheet of ice in Canada.

Verchere GOOD BUSINESS Shall the University be an issue in the provincial elections in December? Surely it is time that those who offer themselves as candidates for the Legislature should make a frank declaration upon this question. Electors who believe in progress and education should be influenced in no small degree by the expressed attitude of these men toward the U.B.C. Legislators are seldom willing to lead public opinion, but are ever ready to act according to the popular will of the community. If the people of British Columbia believe with Alfred Marshall, the eminent English economist, that "the most valuable of all capital is that invested in human beings," and that the constant shelving of the necessary financial support to the University is a great detriment to the province, then some definite action may be expected at Victoria. A University is not a luxury, but a vital necessity. Since progress depends upon the conservation and utilization of the skill and talents of every citizen, and the only way in which such development can be afforded to all is by adequate means of education, it is undoubtedly good business to support a provincial institution. If the men who are to constitute our Government during the next four years are capable of appreciating the view that, on both economic and ethical grounds, the continuance and expansion of the University of B. C. can be more than justified, then before many years Point Grey may be the home of one of the largest student bodies in Canada. A NEW CHAIR? If press reports be true, Dean S. I. Miller, head of the Business Administration Department of the University of Washington, made such a distinct impression upon the members of the Kiwanis Club last week that a number of prominent men in Vancouver are now canvassing the local situation with a view to establishing a similar chair in our own University. All will agree with the Dean when he states that the value of a broad education must be recognized if business is to be elevated to the dignity of a profession. Industrial relations are becoming so complex, and trade organization is advancing so quickly, that no longer can a man, who intends to succeed in the business world, learn from experience alone. It is necessary now for him to spend a considerable time as a student, receiving a know'edge of the fundamental prin- cip'es which are seen working themselves out in the society of our day. Shall the future business men of Western Canada receive their training at home or abroad? There are many who fail to see the desirability of devoting three or four years to studies, which promise them a general education, but which do not fit them in any definite manner for the work which they intend to pursue throughout life. This, of course, leads to the question of additional faculties, such as Medicine, Law and Forestry. It is clear that, until such a time as the Government decides to widen the scope of the University curriculum, an ever increasing number of students will be lost to the U.B.C. each year. For this reason, those who have the interest of the 'Varsity at heart will await, with interest, the developments wlich are expected as a result of Dean A'filler's address. BY THE WAY The Publications Department is in receipt of a letter from the University of Washington School of Journalism, asking that we send a representative, or representatives, to a conference of College Paper Folk to be held at the University of Oregon about November 12th. Have you met the pest who says, "Have you got vour last year's notes in ? "? The question, "Why did we not continue with twelve pages, as in the first issue?' is answered in the editorial of that issue. The women's common room is to be well supplied with magazines this year.« Those which have been chosen are Scrib- ner's, Harper's, The Century, The House Beautiful, and Harper's Bazaar. The poetry in the "Ubyssey" Ain't half so bad as it might be; And the reason is, as you'll recall, That we ain't had any in yet, at all.

Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—Since our fourth-year class fails to realize the gravity of the situation, I take it upon myself to enlist the aid of the University as a whole in the solution of this difficulty. Let us examine the class of Arts '21. Wherein lies its unity? In only one respect do we form a unit—in that we are all pursuing certain diverse courses of study, in the hope of attaining a similar reward in the spring. Aside from this fact, we are not a unit. We are made up of this student with his various interests and small group of special friends, plus that student with her different interests, etc. We have no common interests, and the spirit of clanship is not in us. We do not even know each other, having been only three years together! The situation is indeed deplorable. This is a little early in the term to register a complaint. Later would be too late. We have lived together thus for three years. Is there any security against the fourth following in the same trend? Our class party comes off a few weeks hence. Is this the remedy required? Not if it is to follow the lead of former Arts '21 parties, in representing only about half of the class membership. If our Senior year is to be a success, we Seniors have to get together, and at once! Now, executive, you are not to blame; don't hold up your hands in despair. This is a real problem, and must be met fairly. Arts '21 must adopt a new policy. The class party may yet be our salvation. But we must get everybody out to it. To do this, I think the first requisite is the assurance of a good time to all. And the pre-requisite of this is a new policy of entertainment. Active members of Arts '21, advertise a new policy, if it exists' only in your realization of its need! Dormant members of Arts '21, wake up—there is work to be done! Seniors, get together! J. E. G. A CRITICISM Editor "Ubyssey." Dear Sir:—The University has two publications, the "Ubyssey" and the "Annual." Both of these periodicals entail a great amount of work and money, and, unfortunately, are worth neither. Let us consider the "Ubyssey." This organ consists of a "rehash" of all the events of the preceding week, advertisements, and a few literary (?) contributions. The write- ups of College activities are both badly written and unnecessary. For, if students were at the function, they do not wish to waste time reading an anaemic account of it days later; and if they were not willing to go, they are plainly disinterested. Week after week of a paper full of dull write-ups is no sort of standard for a college publication. As for notices of meetings to be held, I am certain that the work could be carried out much more efficiently by a good, organized system of notice-boards. Mind, I said a good system. As for advertisements, they are of no value to students, in themselves; and if all the so-called literary contributions were omitted, nobody would be the loser. The best our special editors have been able to do so far is to insert a few third-rate parodies and twaddly verses. What they will do is equally promising. The "Ubyssey" is a glorified gutter newspaper, that has to resort to catch headlines and sensational liners to draw interest. The paper is dull, weak, anaemic, and empty. It provides ten minutes' amusement and costs ten hours' steady work. After ten minutes it is discarded and forgotten. The "Annual" is merely a record of the College year; so its editors claim. What I should like to ask is, "How many of us, Ave years from date, will be able to produce this year's 'Annual'?" Not many, I assure you; most of them will have been scrapped. The jy "Annual" is seized upon most avidiously B when it comes out, signatures are collected LB feverishly, and then the copy—which has Bcost so much labor—is put in the boot-cup- ■ board until it is thrown out. What I mean to point out is this—that our College publications are nothing we can look back to with pleasure, ten or twenty years from now. We can never be proud of therm They are more in the nature of a "stunt" than anything else. They follow that insane convention which says that all high schools and colleges should concoct some sort of periodical. . A college paper should be in the nature of a magazine. It should be composed largely of interesting articles on subjects of immediate concern. It should be meaty and substantial. Above all, it should not be a rehash of weekly events. Do not mistake me however. I do not wish to depreciate the' efforts of our Publications Board. They are well-intentioned, but very much misdirected. . COGNOVI. EXCHANGE (From a Colyumist s Garden of Verses) In winter I sit up at night, And write this by electric light; In summer, spring, and also fall, That programme varies not at all. And does it not seem strange to you That I should have such work to do, A-chasing the elusive jest, And never, never sleep, nor rest? The world is so full of a number of folks, I'm sure we should always have plenty of jokes! MEMORIAL SERVICE Members of the University are reminded of the memorial service which the University Service Club will hold on Sunday in memory of fallen comrades. The service will be at 7.30 p.m., in St. George's Church, Fourteenth and Laurel. The offering will be for the benefit of the Leroy Scholarship. Members of the club who have changed their residence are requested to notify the secretary, Prof. Larsen, as soon as possible, in order that notice may be sent them of the smoker and concert to be held in Pavlowa Court on Saturday, November 6th.

After an introductory talk on the life of Hardy, Mr. Rive discussed the most characteristic novels of this writer. The paper concluded with an outline of his philosophy, which prompted much interesting and profitable discussion among the members of the club, until the refreshments put an end to the more serious part of the evening's entertainment. CHEMISTRY SOCIETY The Chemistry Society held its first meeting on Tuesday, when the new executive was elected. It was only after a great deal of argument that the society gave up the cause of trying to retain Mr. K. B. Gillie as president. Mr. Gillie was elected last spring, but claims that he is too busy this year to attend to the duties. The following executive was chosen: Honorary president, Dr. Archibald; president, Mr. Steve Plummer; vice-president, Miss Dunbar; secretary-treasurer, Mr. A. E. Boss. MEN'S LITERARY SOCIETY Owing to the resignation of Arnold Webster from the presidency, to assume the senior editorship of the "Ubyssey," the society has been without a president for the past three weeks. But now we have secured Mr. Allan McL. Hurst, Arts '22. Under his guidance an extensive programme has been drawn up. The success of this programme will depend on the hearty support of every male member of this institution. We especially desire to direct the attention of the freshmen toward this society, as we know of no other which will so adequately repay an active interest. At a meeting of the executive of the Lit. department, which took place on Friday, it was decided that the international debates this year should be handled by a College committee rather than by the separate organizations. There will be debates with Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Alberta. The committee in charge will consist of the president of the department, the presidents of the Men s, the Women's and the Sigma Delta Kappa societies, and the debating secretary, Mr. A. E. Richards.

MIGRATE We cannot but feel deeply grieved at the loss of five professors, whose contributions to the life of our young University have been very real, and whose places will be very difficult to fill. The student body joins in wishing them the best of success in their new fields of endeavor. Professor J. A. McLean, B.A., B.S.A., who came to the U.B.C. from Amhurst, Mass., to become head of the Department of Animal Husbandry, has accepted a position in agricultural journalism He is now eastern editor of "K'mball's Dairy Farms," a publication printed in Waterloo, Iowa. Dr. D. Mcintosh, M.A., F.R.S.C, until this session was Professor of Chemistry and head of the department. He is now engaged in research work for the Cranston Paint Works, Cranston, Rhode Island. Professor E. H. Russell, B.A.. came from the Victoria High School in 1915 to become Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the U.B.C. During the years he spent here the Musical Society was the object of his chief interest in student life, and to him is due a large portion of the credit for the successful annual entertainments of that organization. Dur'ng the summer, Mr. Russell severed his connection with the U.B.C. and joined the staff of Victoria College. To those interested in athletics the absence of Mr. P. H. Eliot, M.Sc, from U.B.C. circles will be especially regretted. He was always popular with freshmen classes in Physics. As a booster of clean sport in the 'Varsity, Mr. Eliot had few equals, the boxing club being one of his "Pet" organizations. He, too, has joined the staff of Victoria College as Associate Professor of Science. Fink—You could serenade a girl all night, and she never comes near a window. McCallum—Yes; but just honk-honk twice, and she is in the front seat.

SIX-SIXTY-SIX GRANVILLE ST. "Vancouver's Smartest Shoe Store" FACULTY OF NURSING Members of the U. S. of the Faculty of Nursing organized Monday last. This is a new branch belonging to the Faculty of Applied Science. The officers elected are as follows: Honorary president, Miss Ethel Johns, R. N.; president, Miss Beatrice Pearce; vice-president, Miss Aileen Aylard; secretary-treasurer, Miss Esther Naden. Plans for the coming year were discussed. The opening social event will take place Friday, the 29th, in the form of a banquet. Yes, we know we are still in the infant stage. Just old enough, however, to realize that smokers are evidently not intended for such as we are, even although given by members of our own family. But, seriously speaking, do we understand what a wonderful opportunity is being offered in the course? Ours is the first University to realize the necessity for raising the standard of nursing. The nursing degree, to be granted in 23, is the first of its kind in Canada. Two years of practical training, combined with three years of academic, work, will admirably fit those taking the course for institutional work, also for the large field of public health. Girls, it is hard, but more than worth while. FACULTY NEWS Prof. L. Killam, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering, and acting head of the department, was granted one year's leave of absence by the Board of Governors on Monday night. It is understood that Prof. Killam has been offered an attractive industrial position. Until recently he has had practical charge of S. C. R. in the University, and during Dean Brock's absence was chairman of the Faculty of Applied Science. During his absence Prof. C. C. Ryan will be acting head of the department. Prof. Killam will leave about the first of the month. Mr. H. P. Archibald, B.A.Sc. (McGill), has been appointed instructor in Mechanical Engineering, and Mr A. Lightall, B.Sc. (McGill), and G. M. Irwin, B.Sc. (McGiil), assistants in Civil Engineering. Miss Mary Ard MacKenzie, B.A. (Tor.), R.N., was appointed Red Cross Inspector in Public Health. Miss MacKenzie is at present in Colorado, but was for ten years chief superintendent of the Victorian Order of Nurses in Canada. Thomas Pattison, M.A., former Registrar, returns to the University as Instructor in Mathematics. The total registration was announced as 947, an increase of eight since the figures printed in the first issue of the "Ubyssey." It was reported that the University Farm had won the following prizes at the New Westminster fair: Cash prizes, $202; one silver cup, one junior championship, three grand championships, three diplomas. Prof. Mack Eastman, of the University of British Columbia, last week received word that his mother had just died at her home in London, Ontario. She was of Canadian birth and Highland parentage, and was one of the pioneers in the London district. Mrs. Eastman is survived by one daughter, Miss Kate, who lives at the London home, and one son, Professor Eastman, of Vancouver.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni Association held its general fall meeting in the University on Friday evening. As the offices of president, first vice-president and assistant secretary were vacant, Mr. Ian Gibson was elected president, Mr. Letson first vice-president, and Miss Irvine assistant secretary. An amendment to the constitution, making eligible for membership in the association students who took as much of their courses as possible in M.B.C. or U.B.C. and had to go elsewhere to obtain their degrees, was passed. L. A. Morrison, secretary-treasurer, 144S Seventh Avenue, West. AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT HIM— HE WAS .WELL DRESSED That's exactly what the manager of a big company said a few days ago, after selecting a travelling salesman out of twenty-three applicants! After summing up all his good points, he said: "Another good thing I noticed, he was nicely dressed." Say what you like, boys, the fellow who shows good taste in his dress reveals good judgment, tact and common sense, and certainly makes an impression in a business career. You should make a selection at CLELLAND'S. He has the finest range of patterns and models we've ever seen; and if you'll ask anybody who's had a made-to-measure from him, they'll tell you more than we like to put in print. Don't forget about the special reduction given when ordering suits with extra pair of pants. The express elevator takes you right up to Clelland's room in less 'n a minute. He stays open till 6 o'clock on Saturdays. James Clelland 1225 Standard Bank Bldg. 510 Hastings Street, West Vancouver, B. C. Phone, Seymour 7280 The Barron Hotel and Restaurant VANCOUVER, B.C.
