The editor has ught it tdvuu?oul to our readers that some of these individuals be introduced. Therefore, he will, for the next few weeks, present to our readers some of these personâ€" alities who made an impression upon him. s 2l __ Conductor Ted Lyons is one of the men that any one visiting Vancouver should see and hear. For over 45 Â¥un this man has been conducting the sightâ€"seeing observation car of the B.C. Electric Line. He has endeared himself to the citizens, the visitors and especially to the children. He is known throughout the whole route, not only m children but by many who have }fmwn into manhood and wome k This interesting individual has a line of chatter that is not only informaâ€" tive about the city of Vancouver and its bnu:ly l?otl. but points out with pride the various Xoinu of interest, the development of the city and its potentialities. As you climb into the obgervation car you are greeted with a pun or a general salutation that immediately sets you in a good humor, as you hear him te}l his variousâ€" jokes and puns about the people on the stréet, the stores and the buildings, you find yourself wondering what is coming next. As he ?u to the outskirts of the city you hear the three whistles blow and he tells you to watch for the children as they come out and dance and sing songs. You hear the cute remarks puux about this one and that one passing along the street and you see everybody on the street speaking to him and mc:{ni:ing him. The history is that this man had endeared himself to the children, so that they ulerook forward to the time the car is passing their homes and they come out and cheem ming and dance for the people who are visiting Vancouver. _ ooo _ 00 From one of the most advantageous points of view, he stopped the car and said, "Now this is the finest view around Vancouver, but owing to the bush fires xlou can not get it today, it is too bad that this view is clouded." You did not know if this was an actual fact because there did not seem to be any bushfires aroundâ€"it seemed to be just ordinary everyâ€"day fog. Another feature that he has arranged is the smp})ing of a picture of every individual in the car. He stops before one of the photograph uhoglu and from the roof the photographer snaps the pictures and within one hour at the end of the journey the pictures are delivered to the car ready for sale. He says he does not know how they arrived or how they got there, but he has the pictures complete in envelobpu and they generally are exceptionally fine. Then he colects the 50c. This is certainly a proilreuivo feature and one that does interest the visitors to Vancouver. He even has a dog at one point trained to bark and give its welcome to visitors. _ _ _ _ _ This man is an asset to the city of Vancouver. Be sure to meet Ted Lyons when you visit this great metropolis. cess."

I don‘t know in what tangible way we can show that we are trying to wipe out that debt, other than‘by trying to build a living memorial to our glorious tludi who sacrificed llli that we should have our way of life. This is not sickly sentiment, but is the thoughts of one of those fortunate enoush to come home to this wonâ€" derful Canada of ours. I can recall very vividly my own corâ€" g:rsl a boy of 19 years of age, a y full of life, courageous, sinâ€" cere, everything ahead of him, an horour student at the Northern Vocational school, Toronto, being killed. A boy that left a mother and father and brother behind, who thought the world of him. Can we say that, that boy died in vain, No! No! No! not while we have lng red blooded Canadians left a thome. Here we have an opportunity to perrtuate a living monument to all that is noble and true and sincere right in our own cotnmunity, and what are we doing about it. T‘ll tell you! ____ _ We are sitting back waiting to see what the other fellow is going to do. We haven‘t tfiot enough guts (and mind you there are some exceptions) to get behind the opâ€" portunity that is facing us toâ€"day, to build a Humber Memorial hosâ€" pital, in honor of those fine lads and girls that have sacrificed their lives in the two great wars. _ I know I am getting in deep water and many of our readers won‘t like my attitude, but I will accept full responsibility for what I am writing, in the hope that I may make those complacent or forgetful people realize that there is no greater tribute we might pay to those that gave their all, than to build a memorial such as is proâ€" hospital, ‘ Our average reader might wonâ€" der what has inspired this last minute comment bi myself, well, might I point out here that there is some opposition to this great project by people who can‘t, or don‘t, realize what it is all about, They are thinking in dollars and cents that they might have to pay out. It is a little different tfim gaying out dollars and cents for a Victory Bond that will return them their money one hundred percent plus interest. They forget that the Victory Bond wouldn‘t be worth a cent if it had not been for the sacrifice of many of our men and women. But can they not see that their dollars and cents are going to save life and ease sufferâ€" ing These people have even gone to the length of intimidating our present candidates for civic office in suggesting that they will not vote for the cadidate concerned if he is in favor of an increased tax rate of 1.4 mills to realize the $100,000.00 grant necessary from the town, to ensure the success of this venture. â€" â€" Unfortunately we at the Times and Guide office in our interviews with the various candidates for municipal office have only found five men with enough, intestinal fortitude, to declare themselves to thepublic as 100% for the Hospital: Vote. These men are our Mayor Tom Dougherty, Councillors Seâ€" grave, Bridgman, Huson and Jack Petrie a new candidate for municiâ€" pal office, but a man who ha» always taken a keen interest in every community venture in the interest of Weston. _ All other candidates have given us their personal assurance that they are for the hospital, and in fact some of them are working for the hospital campaign, but they don‘t want to be quoted in case they will be treading on some persons toes. Folks, we could go on, and on, and on, in a discourse of the merita and need of a hospital such as the Humber Memorial hospital, but what‘s the use, You are the sole judges of the need and necessity of such a hospital, the saving of pain, suffering and life remains in your hands.

Some 65 men attended the service and sat, down to the breakfast presided over by Mr, Hughes. The rector introâ€" duced Padre Robertson of Tocâ€"H. This iy"ounz man who has seen life, who has associated with men, who has a deep conviction of his relaâ€" tionships to his Creator, and is endeavoring to follow in the footâ€" steps of his Master, gave a stirring challenge to the men of St, John‘s. With a sincerity, with a flow of language, with a perfect presentaâ€" tion of the claims of Jesus Christ, he chnutenged these men to go out and put into effect the tuchi:;fis of Christianity. He explained the origin and the work of Tocâ€"H. He emphasized the need of the fellowâ€" ship exemplified by our / Lord Jesus Christ to beâ€"put into effect today, as the mearns of uniting the world in peace, then men. seized with the vision willing to be enâ€" ergized by the power of God, can successfully move affairs so that there will be a better relationship established and a peaceful fellowâ€" ship continued.
