and purpose of the club and the
progress it has made up to the
present time.
Mrs. Hathaway expressed a
wish that other rose clubs might
be formed on the Island and rose
exhibitions be given and prizes
offered, with a view to making
the Vashon rose as famous as
the Vashon strawberry, That is
a fine idea and one that seems
really worth while
Mrs. NJ. L. Tjomsland in her
paper on What We Can Do Tc
Beautify Vashon. suggested
that we burn up the old rubbish,
get rid of the tin cans, tear down
the old fences and buildings,
paint those that need it, and
then plant flowers and vines and
shrubbery, and build neat walks
and streets. If everyone vice
with his neighbor in his efforts
to improve and beautify, Vashor
would soon be called The Beau
tiful Island. "
There will be an open meeting
of the association in May tt
which all are cordially invited
The program will be published
later.
