EARNEST DISCUSSION
GOOD INDICATION


Club was again in action at its
regular meeting on Tuesday eve
ming at the Vashon High auditor
inn president Miller in the chair
and r. w. f. Martin acting sec
retary in the absence of Coy Meri-
dith who was i'll. A report of
the last meeting was read also
one of the Olympia meeting OF the
state Chamber of Commerce, AN
interesting paragraph of course
relating to the Vashon delegation
present there.
A matter for discussion at the
Tuesday night meeting was wheth
cr the executive council should
inaugurate and carry out bust
ness plans for the club in its
meeting. The council meets
monthly with meetings two weeks
removed from regular meetings
Of the club.
The Boy Scout troops of Cove
and Vaehon each sent in letter
TO the club offering their services
during the strawberry festival.
Another matter discussed was
the probability of getting re-
dIuced lighting rate on the is
land. Mr.. Ira Case reported
that in the nature of things the
cost must be at loast &c. higher
than ON the mainland, and that
We may Ne able to get in the fllt-
IRE not far distant. a Zoe. rate.
The question Of making the club
meetings, in part of a social ma
ture was brought ND and the gen
eral opinion seemed TO favor SOME
entertainment at fnch meeting, in
form of music and an occasional
address. Here Mr.. Heating
made a speech that sounds the
keynote to accomplishment to
the effect that the Commercial
clubs business is Business, pri-
marily and; it ought to be enter
tainging and will be if its various
committees are alive and awake
and working. He suggested that
these committees or their heads
report the work done in their
committees at regular meetings
and receive the ratification OF
the club as whole, allowing al
so any discussion of the matters
submitted. Mr. Heating took
occasion to- say that he was anX-
ious. as chairman of the commit
tee on Industries. to put some
thing across" from his depart
menlt and that he would like to
see some interesting programs
along this line, arranged for the
very next meeting or two. THIS
was Immediately adopted and
such a program will be carried
out at the next meeting.
Mr.. Sanford who has been run
ming a busy little factory at Va
shon for four years, reminded The
club of his industry, mentioning
the fact that he has been turning
out large quantity Of fishing
reels and other goods and at some
expense stamping those goods as
being made on Vashon Island and
he wishes to continue doing this
hit of advertising for the island.
He reported his present task OF
filling an order for 45O camp
stools for an eastern party, and
because of the EXPENSE of max
inc the die he is emitting to
stamp them and will continue to
dol so unless he can secure safe
and undisputcd title to the fac
tory building ard promises.
Ii occurred to some OF those
present that bringing to- light OF
some of the islands Industries,
and learning something of their
problems ora accomplishments
and hopes for the future might
prove about the most interesting
program for the next couple OF
meetings, that can be found.
Mr.. Schmi't, solcist fremi the
Heights, was prc-ont ON invita-
tion with a on'0tity Of song
books. and wit i'o assistance OF
a young lady at the piano, Lea
the singing which closed the
session. A GOOD feature and
should be regular we think,
