COMMUNITY HOME
EFFORTS EXPLAINED

There seems to be so much mis-
understanding concerning h c
Community Home proposition that
, statement Of facts may not come
amiss.
Most certainly it is an entire
Island affair and not a VaShon
project. The location was chosen
not because it was near Vashon.
but because it was a place peculi-
arly fitted to the needs of a Com
munity Club House and could be
purchased for $1,000 cash. And
for a small outlay it could be fit
ted for immediate use.
The phce as it stands is a very
poor advertisement for the pros,
perity of the island, and as it
could only be sold for community
purposes there was no hope OF
any improvement. The building
rcmodeled, painted and grounds
cared for it will decidedly be an
asset.
The location by spcedometcl
measurement from both ends OF
the island is approximately 2,00C
feet nearer Vashon Heights, not
really far enough from the exact
center of the island to quibblr
over.
The women who understood the
proposition feel that it will be Il
benefit to the entire island and
hope that it will promote a true
community spirit.
1t has been pointed out that all
the officers in the new club are
Vashon residents. True, but the
four officers had to be chosen
from members and people who
were present and interested and
who were willing to work to put
the proposition tIru. They are
elected for one year Besides the
usual officers there are nine trus
fees, one chosen from each dis
trict on the island, and the trus
tees are the business executives
of the club.
The dues are placed at SOC per
member per year and every wo
man on the island is urged to joiu
and help.
The Camp Fire Girls and Boy
Scouts have already made plans
to hold their various affairs III
the new Club House. 1t will be
used for fairs, exhibits, parties,
concerts, and gatherings of all
kinds, subject to certain regula-
tions. 1t will provide a place for
young people to congregate under
good, clean, wholesome conditions.
Before April 18th, we hope to
have the required 100000. Each
family on the island is asked to
contribute something-please give
as much as you can.
1t is for your own, and no ono
person will benefit more than an
other. Truly it will be worth all
YOU can give to the young people
Of the island.
The next meeting of the club
will be held in the building OH
Wednesday, April s. Come and
see the possibilities.

The fact that the mons team was captained by Il woman, Mrs. Fred Anderson, and the women's team was explained by a man, Fred Rittner, is offered by the men as the reason for the de- feat.

MAKES APPEAL FOR
 COMMUNITY DRIVE
Mayor PaonesSa Urges Public
 to Contribute Liberally

Mayor A, M Paoncssa issued d proclamation today urging coopcra- ton by the public with the commit tees under whose supervision the United Community Corporation will conduct a drive for funds noxt week.
 The mayors message follows;
 "On next Monday, the United Community Corporation will launch its annual drive 10 raise funds for the Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts, Junior Achievement, Fresh Air Camp. Boys club, Tuberculosis Relief Society, New Britain Welfare Association Visiting Nurse Association, Salvation Army and the Day Nursery.
 During the week, the people of this community will be given an opportunity to show their apprecia- ton for the inestimable amount of good these agencies are working in this city. To my mind, words urg- ing generosity are unnecessary when the accomplishments of these 10 groups are considered. It would seem necessary only to call attention to the opening of this campaign, and to suggest that every resident of this city constitute himself a committee of one to assure success in the drive by submitting his contribution with out waiting to be solicited.
 "Tho committees for the drive arc well organized and everything pos stble will be done 10 assure q thorough canvass of the city. Real izing. as l am sure every resident of New Britain does, that it is a privi- lege to assist these 10 organizations in their work, it should not be necessary for the committee mem- bers to go out and solicit and I hope their work will be made lighter by your cooperation.
 Tt is hoped that the quota will be exceeded. Those in charge of the drive will do their utmost to accomplish their goal. It is every citizens duty and privilege to assist.
 "A. NJ. PAONEsSA.
 Mayor"
 The opening of the drive for sCe,- l47 will take place at the Burritt hotel at noon Monday when about $50 workers will gather for the first luncheon and discussion of the plan of campaign.

LITTLE DARK SHOP
 SELLS HARD CANDY
Brought to Light After Denoli-
 tion of Front Shops

oxford, England, March 2t,--The demolition of the row of ancient shops and houses adjoining Christ church college, on St, Aldate's street has at last lot the light into the little dark shop over the way where Alice looked "all around" in spite of the annoying old sheep with Inc knitting needles.
 Il Is tiny shop, below street lov- el set in the end of long TOW of timbered cottages running back from the narrow archod entry call ed Iittlemore court. The door. the counter. the projecting windows with small, square panes are today exactly as they were in 1871 when Sir John Tenniel looked in Through the Looking Glass" and drew the littl, dark shop for Lewis Carroll's classic. There is no sheep in the corner, and the dolls and toys have moved along down the street, but the jars of unbreakable candy still hold their proper places in proper rows.
 A little way up the opposite side of the street in Q projecting. wing of Christ church. Lewis Carroll, tho Rev. Charles Lutwidgc Dodgson, foundation scholar and lecturer in mathematics, lived as. an under graduate, and later as a don. His life was n curiously double one. AS the Rev. c. l.. Dodgson he is known as the author of works on trigonom- etry detcrminants, Euclid and "cur- iosa mathematics" AS Lewis Car roll he once wrote q book on sym bolic logic. but he is rather better known as the creator of Alice" and ihe Looking Glass" and "The Hunting of the Shark"
