Many Reservations
Made for Holidays

‘One of tho largest crowds to be
seen this season visited White Rock
over the week-end. Uniforms were
plentiful and beaches and pfenic
grounds were crowded.

Many of the visitors wore for-
merly Birch Bay and Boundary Bay
enthusiasts but the new regulations
Dave turned their thoughts to Ca-
nadian summer resorts, A xood
number who inquired at local real
‘estate offices for summer residences
thought all available cottages had
been taken up but it {s authorita-
tively stated that there are many
good places still available and rea-
sonably priced.

Former Resident
Visiting Here

Mrs. Wilhelmina Philps has ar-
rived in White Reck and is staying
‘with Mrs. North at the North Block.
Mrs. Philps, who with her husband,
the late Fred C, Philps, kept the
post office in White Rock for nearly
thirty years, has been visiting her
sonin-law and daughter, Mr. and
‘Mrs. Norman Coddington, at Hono-
lulu, T.H., for over a year.

Mrs. Philps says Hawall was
lovely but the call of the North and
familiar places and faces drew her
back here. She is planning an ex-
tended yisit here and will probably
Spend the winter with relatives in
the East.

Record Crop
Maturing Rapidly

‘The fruit crop still continues to
be well in advance of the season.
Local gooseberries are on sale at
most of the stores; logans are rip-
ening fast and local people have
already picked red currants, In the
prevailing {deal weather conditions,
Faspberries are better than usual,

In the flower section, late sum-
mer flowers are delighting thelr
‘owners by coming into full bloom,
several weeks ahead of schedule.
Red collarette dahlias are an at-
tractive early feature: many of the
summer lilies have opened their
ailver-white bells, and hollyhocks,
ustially several weeks later, aro al-
ready blooming in many gardens,
Foxgloves are already exception-
ally tall, and delphiniums are at
the height of thelr blue glory.
