OUR COMMERCIAL club re-
Gently adopted slogan: "See
Vashon Island for that home in
the west" That appeals to us as
being mighty good sentiment.
First thing the writer did after
arriving here was to sit down and
write the folks, 81 wish we had
come 25 years sooner" If people
in the high and dry-the cold and
bleak-the hot and unhealthful-
could know how kind nature is
here and that to the genial cline
and the natural wealth is added
the best that civilization has to
offer in social and educational add
vantages-they would come to
Vashon Island in such droves that
we should have to put up the S. R.
o. sign and mount machine guns
on the landing. Vashon, our is
land home, we love you! We
love you for what you are and
more for what you will be.

IN TAKING over the News
Record we cheerfully admit that
we have tackled a man $ size job.
Considering the editorial work
alone, our predecessors have set a
high standard that it will be diff.
cult, perhaps impossible to main
tain. HoweYes, our heart is in
the work and we hope in our way
to get out a paper that will APP
peal to our readers and do them
and their island home real ser
vice. Any assistance you may
give us in getting the news (not
only the big, important things but
the little things that so to make
up the bulk of our liyes) we shall
appreciate. In addition to being
an acceptable newspaper, we hope
to make the News-Record always
an efficient advertising medium
and we want our shop to be al
ways known as the home of "bet-

with the starting of the evangel-

With a desire to avoid all sem

word upon so important subject.
There are those who have been
brought up in Christian homes to
whom church going is a pleasant
habit and there are those whom
we respect and care for, who have
had different up-bringing and
who would be about as apt to go
to a regular church service as to
order their own collins. How
much are we gaining, how much
are they losing on account of the
difference in attitude toward pub
lie worshipY And, to follow out
the idea further, what is the real
and permanent eain for the one
who lives consistent bapny

BEFORE THE NEXT issue of

The News-Record, st. Valentines
day viii be past for another year.
In recognition of the claims of
youth, we say on. Regardless of
The pesSimistic view that one gets
from divorce records and juvenile
courts, the home is still the key
stone Of our civilization. Loving
and mating are the big thing in
all normal lives. Without love,
youth would be hungry waste
and without mating, maturity a
dreary disappointment. Just here
word of warning to those who
risk all at the dictates of passion.
Physical desire alone is never a
safe foundation upon which to
build married life. No woman
wants a man to be the father of
her children who regards her on
ly as the slave of his passion.
No true man wants a woman for a
lifetime companion whom he can
not respect and who does not res
pect him and see in him something
more than an animal.
The sex instinct should not be
scoffed at or degraded but should
be glorified by emphasizing the
spiritual values possible in the
comradeship of home-making and
parenthood. In Nature-mating
generally means a nest and little
ones-the homeless families and
the childless homes both all too
common-are not happy ending
Of the st. Valentines dream
Young folks! We would ret
take away single note from the
melody # romance or a ray of
color from your dreams. We on
ly hope that as you sing and see
visions, your thoughts may re-
man pure and your feet may be
climbing the upward path that is
the road to safety and peace.

 Clear thc Fire Hydrants
 An important warning has been is sued by the fire chief that property owners should take it upon themselves to clear the fire hydrants in the vi- cinity of their homes so that in case of fire, the tiremen will not be ham pered in their work. All along the streets in the center and at other points about the. town, the fire hy- drants are either completely covered or they are partially covered and a fatal delay would be caused by the blockade of snow if fire started any where.
