CLUB MEETING TUESDAY

The regular meeting Of the
Vashon- Maury Island Commercial
club will be held at the Burton
high school building of next week.
A large crowd is expected to be
present as the transportation mat
ter will be up for discussion.
lnasmuch as the meeting of the
board of county commissioners is
previous TO the club meeting it
has been necessary to take action
on the ferry situation through
the transportation committee.
Petitions asking the commissions
ers to construct ferry slip at
Three Tree Point that the West
Pass Transportation Co. may in
augurate a service from that place
to Portage have been circulated in
every community on the island
with the result that hundreds
have signed, thereby placing their
seal of approval on the project. In
addition Seattle merchants have
awakened to the needs of the is
land and are aiding in every man
ner within their power.

oRTHoPEDIC AUXILIARY.

On Wednesday afternoon of this
week Mrs. 7. Hansen invited to
her home a number of ladies rep
senting the various organiza-
tons of the island for the purpose
of organizing a guild or auxiliary
of the Orthopedic hospital of Sc
attic. The ladies were very en-
thusiastic over the worthiness of
the object, and especially SO since
several island children have been
so generously treated. For this
reason it was thought that it is
high time that the island contrib
ute something to the institution.
Contributions most acceptable are
fruit and vegetables. A meeting
for the general public will be held
little later, the time and place
to be announced later.

"a sTUPENDoUs PICTURE.

Sir Joseph Duveen, the cele-
brated art cOnnoiseur and interna-
tional authority on antiques, de
elares that the production Of
"When Knighthood Was in Flow
en-" which will be shown at the
Vashon theatre Wednesday and
Thursday evenings of next week,
is "the most stupendous repro
duction of Henry Wis court life
that has ever been achieved. ~
A marvellous piece of artistry, his
torically accurate in every de
tail"
"The sumptousness of the set
tings amazed me- said the Eng
lish critic, who is familiar with
every detail of Hampton Court
palace, where the court scenes
were laid. "The wonderful hall
Of Hampton Court is depicted
with extraordinary fidelity, with
real Gothic tapestries for hang,
ings and ancient suits of armor
correct to the period.

Ladies of the island are asked
to not forget the meeting of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
union at the Presbyterian church
on Monday, November 26, begin
ming at l:30 p. m. They are re-
quested to be sure and bring a cup
and spoon. Attention is called to
the fact that this is not merely a

lions.

PARENTS AND TEACHERS
HAVE FINE PROGRAM.

On Friday, November 20, the
regular meeting of the Vashon
Parent Teacher association was
held at the usual hour at the
school building. During the bust
ness session it was decided that,
rather than place upon the school
the added responsibility of Civ
ing these meetings publicity each
month, committee be appointed
to secure IA printed notice to be
sent out by the secretary Of the
association. Another wise decis-
ion was that the swings recently
purchased by the association be
placed at once and a committee
was appointed to secure some one
to do the work. This, it was
thought is out of the line of man
ual training work as taught in the
schools and the teacher and pup
lis should be relieved of the re-
sponsibility.
AT the close of the business SEES
sion the meeting was turned over
to the chairman of the program
committee. The program was
opened with solo by Miss Liv
Blekastad, accompanied by Miss
Marjorie Bridgman.
A paper entitled, Factors in
the Success of Parent Teacher
Association was read by Mrs.
Bridgman. This paper had been
secured from the state loan de-
partment of the association. The
leading features of the paper We're
the intelligent and sympathetic
cooperation of home and school y
and the community service of a
nt-Teacher association" The
paper presented these subjects in
a most forceful manner and an in
teresting and able discussion fol
lowed on the part of the members
present.
1t is the hope of the officers and
present members to strengthen a
community interest in school af-
fairs and to extend the member
ship to include every one in the
district. An invitation is extend
ed to all to attend and help in the
betterment of the school.

bined for the remainder of the
season The stars of the two ag-
gregations have been picked BY
Coaches Hardinger and Lewis ana
made into one strong team. The

The back field proved to be a pow
erful, Quick-thinking quartet.
while the line showed up equally
well. Owing TO the lateness of the
season it will be difficult to whip
the players into shape TO play very
many games this season. However.
the team seems to have the right
spirit and if the morale don t
break, look out If you don't be

FOX RAISING NEW
INDUSTRY ON ISLAND
West Side People Start With
Six Pairs Of Alaska
Blue Foxes.

Carl Anderson, we'll known resi-
dent of the Cove-Colvos neighbor-
hood has received three pairs Of
blue Alaska foxes for himself and
two pairs for his fathcr-in-law,
Jacob Edwards, of the same vicin-
ity. His brother, Ole Anderson,
secured a pair earlier in the seas
os from Alaska, making quite a
nucieui of a genuine fox farming
community. Mr.. Anderson plans
to construct pens of 45X60 feet in
dimensions for each pair of the
the little animals.
Blue foxes are selling at from
$500 to $500 a pair for breeding
purposes and there is an excellent
demand for their pelts. Expert
ments nave demonstrated that the
climate of Puget Sound, and par
ticularly that of localities along
the water, is equal to that of Alas
ka for providing prime pelts.
The experiment of Messrs. And
erson and Edwards will be watch
ed with great deal of interest by
island residents and if successful,
a number of others plan to engage
in the same enterprise.
There is large area of steep
heavily wooded hillsides, which if
properly fenced, would furnish ex-
cellent range for foxes.
