SOUTHERN HEIGHTS
Mrs. A. N. MORRILL,.

VIC ul'IcISldilu tHuI TTtN upn
has planted several hundred Jap
aneSe lily bulbs Of different kinds
When these bloom this neat place
will be more beautiful than ever
and besides there is real buS-
mess air about so many bulbs and
the more industries we have, the
better.
We received generous samples
Of the new product Mono-Copal
being manufactured by the Big
Wheel ProductsI Co. at Harbor
Heights, and are glad to have
such a plant in our midst. The
food is very nourishing as well as
palatable and we surely wish the
company all success.
We were so glad to read the
splendid items from Magnolia
Beach. There is no reason why
all the beaches should not send in
some items all the time, and Mag
nolia is a place where so many live
permanently and there is always
something doing. Magnolia Beach
keep on with your good work and
as many more will join us i'll a
"long pull and strong pull for
the southern portion, as well as
tie whole island.
Mrs. Caroline Gaddey and little
son and small daughter were
Sunday visitors at the home of
Mrs. Gaddeys' parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Berry.
Have you seen the new fence in
front of the Morrill, home? Yes,
we agree with you, we did not
build a fence any too soon, but the
contrast is so great between the
new and the old fence is so great
that the new one looks twice as
good as otherwise. And won't it
keep us busy to live up to the new
fence?.
Gerogie Stoltenberg who was so
injured by dynamite cap a short
time ago, is doing fine. DR.. Nc
Murray removed the stitches from
his hand last Monday and the in
jured eye seems to be doing fine.
The Berry family listened to a
sermon and music via radio last
Sunday evening at the home of
Mrs. Ely. The radio set was
Christmas present to Mrs. Ely's
grandson, Melvin, and is a source
of much pleasure in the home.
1t seems as tho the Commercial
Club is making step in the
right direction if they place
large sign at Robinson point, for
there are many psNple who have
passed the island that way many
times and do not know its name.
Only recently when in Tacoma we
were asked where Vashon Island
is and by people that have passed
on boats many times. These were
both business people who have.
lived in one city or the other for
many years.
BIRD HOUSES
We want this item to be- some
what conspicuous for our boys
and girls especially (and we, think
many of us will pretend to be boys
and girls if we can coax the birds
around our homes) One of our
best known neighbors who loves
flowers and birds has contrib
uted the measurements for bird
house construction and we think
they are simple and plain:
Inside measurements 5X5 in. !;
front IL in; back s in; entrance
in front 6 in. above floor and from
l to ~ in. in diameter. Place on
! top of well-set post six to ten feet
from ground so cats cannot dis
turb them. Let's all make homes
for our little songsters.
The dahlia farm is being pre-
pared for spring planting and is
a busy place. Other flowers be.
sides are grown here and so there
are blossoms Of some kind the
greater part of the year on this
interesting place.
