OPERETTA MAKES RECORD

On Friday, April IL, "The
Island Amateur Operetta Soci-
ETY." repeated their performance
Of the operetta "Will Tell" with,
if possible refer success than
that at Vashon on 10th, at the
Burton high school.
While the old singers" Mrs.
NJ. l.. Tjomsland, Miss Lola j.
Mcgowan, Messrs K. VanHouse,
David B. Cook, Don Parker and
A. w. Ganly in their respective
roles fairly outdid themselves,
one of the most pleasurable fea-
lures of the performances was
the gratifying success of the new
comelS to the cast. Mrs. Simon
son as Gertrude, Mrs. Howard
Rhodha, who by the way, had to
get up from a sick bed to take
her part, as "Gretchen,'' and Mr.
r. Tregidga as Conrad, all
sang and acted like veterans ra-
tier than recruits.
Mrs. Simonsom and Mrs. Rhod-
da both displayed very sweet
voices and Mr.. Tregidga gave a
forceful rendering of his rollick-
ing solo "a Sailor Bold"
The children did their part
most intelligently and looked un
jsniably "cute" as the ladies
term it.
The chorus, while not so large
as usual, was in great form and
gave us something worth listen
ing to, especially in "What of
the Glorious News" the final
chorus of each act.
The scenery was good, and the
costuming by Leuben of Seattle,
as it always is, both rich and APP.
propriate.
We must not forget a word of
praise for the orchestra under
the directions of Mrs. Ganly at
the piano. for their excellent
playing of the introductory music
and also throughout the whole
performance.
Very few localities can put I'm

home talent, every member of the

Japanese Pastor
Outlines Situation

The japanese meeting at the
Community church, Sunday after
noon was largely attended by the
Japanese and number of Amer.
leans We're also present. The
session opened an hour late as the
speaker missed the ferry and had
to come over in a small boat.
Mr.. Tsawada, the Japanese
singer, lsang several hymns as
solos, very acceptably, accom-.
panied by Mrs. Ganly, and there
was some congregational singing.
Rev. Mr.. Abe. Presbyterian
Japanese minister gave the ad...
dress which he is giving all over
the West at the present time in
the interests of better under.
standing between whites and
japanese.
The speaker first expressed the
gratitude of his nation to the
American people for the help
they have given Japan in many
ways since Commodore Perry
opened the door to Foreigners
seventy years ago. Rev. Abe said
there was some trouble at times
between Japan and other nations
but he thought this was largely
a surface matter and its cause
misunderstanding. He appealed
to all Christians to assist in
bringing about proper under.
standing between Japan and
other nations.
He gave some history in this
connection, speaking of the adj,
vent Of the Roman Catholic mis-.
sionaries 300 years ago and their
work in Japan being spoiled by
the plots of the Spanish military
to include Japan among Spanish
possessions. Since then, he said.
his people had been suspicious of
missionaries until about the time
of the world war, as the Japs
thought that all Christian mis-.
sionaries would be backed up by
their respective governments to
the extent Of making territorial
demands if such seemed desirable
America, he said, was not includ..
ed in the suspicion of military
designs but the Japs We're dis.
trustful of America for "a time on
account of the socialistic and rad.
ical teachings of some of the U.
S. teachers and preachers. Lately
however, he said, the line between
the Christian teachers and labor
radicals had been sharply drawn
I'M Japan. Recently also some of
the higher up japanese officials
have acknowledged Christianity
as the only source of spiritual life
of the nation. and advised their
people to drop the old dead forms
and superstitions of Buddhism
and Shintoism.

will result in success by identi,
fcation. AS to the safeguards
to identify the fruit and compel
the packer to stand back of his
product so that the consumer
who purchases from the retail
grocer can identify just where
the fruit is produced and by
whom. To cover this situation, at
the writer's request, Congress
man Albert johnson of the state
of Washington, has introduced in
Congress II. R. No. 742 which is
an amendment to one Of the eX-
listing pure food bills. The am
endment reads as follows
IF in package form the guam
tity of the contents be not plainly
and conspiciously marked on the
outside Of the package in terms
of weight, measure or numerical
count, or if the name and bust
ness address of the manufacture
er,O Gamer, or packer be not
plainly and conspicuously mark
ed on the outside of the package:
Also provided, "That nothing
herein shall be construed to pre-
vent placing the name of the dis
tributor on the package"
A bill of this kind will be bit
terly fought by the average
wholesale grocer, only because he
has not looked far enoug ahead
to appreciate the quantity of bus
mess done by the wholesale gro
Ger depends very largely upon the
quality of the product that the
wholesaler has to dispose of. This
amended bill does not preclude
the wholesale grocet' using his
own label, just as he now uses it,
but it compels every Gamer, be-
fore he wraps the label of the
wholesale grocer around the pack
age of fruit. to take the labels to
the local printer and have printed
on some portion of the label in
ldtrers sufficiently large to en-
able the consumer to know exact
ly the net weight ofthe contents
of the can and. what is more i'm
portant, where the product was
packed and by whom.
This enables the Gamer, wher-
ever located, to establish his
identity and the identity of the
contents of the can. No person
will argue against the idea that
the consumer is the real party
entitled to this knowledge and
protection.
It this plan appeals to you. yin

helping get this bill passed, and I |

help that it is possible for all of

get results. We spend our time.

You appreciate. that the state
of the Pacific Northwest are fas
assuming prominent position il
the canning of fruits, but one Of
the difficulties encountered is
that Of the large buyers of the
East, where the greatest per.
cntage Of fruit is consumed, think
only of California when the ques.
ton of canned fruit is raised.
In addition to- this our Califor,
MIA friends have found it neces-
sary to locate branch canning
plants in the Northwestern states
the purpose Of securing practical
ly all their bush fruit require
ments, for the reason of the bet
ter quality of the product grown
in the territory north of Californ-
ia, and this condition presents
the handicap by having very
large percentage vf our North
western grown fruit marketed
under California labels, and what
is not marketed under the Cali
fornia label is very largely mar
keted under the private label of
the wholesale grocer, practically
all Of which use their own label
and compel the camer to place
the wholesale gnocer's label
around the can when the pur-
chase is made.
The result of this condition as
it now exists is a great handicap
to the bush fruit interests of the
states of the Pacific Northwest,
because the consumers have no
way of knowing where the fruit
is produced. In addition to this
the consumer, who is entitled to
the greatest possible considera-
ton, may purchase a can of bush
fruits today under certain label
and ten days from now purchase
an additional can under exactly
the same label, but secure a very
different commodity in the con
tents of the can.
The best interests of the bush
berry industry of the Pacific
Northwest depend upon CANS
FULL OF FRUIT OF BEST
QUALITY. and PROGRESSED IN
THE RIGHT WAY. 1t is not the
part Of good business to permit
the whcleaale grocer to maize
his purchases from Gamer who
is not particularly interested in
the quality Of the product of the
can, and under existing cond!
tons, there is nothing about the
can that attaches any response
bility to the contents of the can.
except the label of the jobber.
In other words, the real father of
the product is in no way i3enti-
fed with his offspring.
Your are entirely familiar with
the fact that no section of the en-
tire United States produces bush
fruits of the quality equal to the
Pacific Northwest states. These
states will prosper more provia,
ed the bush fruit industry is made
real industry and this can only
be done by adopting a policy that
