COFINERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS FINE MEETING

mug turned out to be one OF the
best Tor several months. The new
krnball Grand piano, bought by
the Rose club of Nashon Heights,
and donated to the Home, wa
tried out for the first. Mrs. Nor.
gan DoebbleI played Rachmanin
offs prelude q Sharp Minor to
the delight of everyone presen!
and graciously responded to a
snappy encore.
Mrs. George ShOupe of Puyallup
followed with one OF the ablrs
addresses on poultry growing thai
has ever been heard OH the island.
Mrs. Shoupe said taiS section O.
the country was bound to becomt
a mecca for eggs, as our hens lay
in the fall When eggs are scarce
and thus pile up nee profit foN
the owner, while hens in other 10
calities are "loafing. In the
spring when eggs are cheap tn.
state exports to N. Y. city 2 pc.
cent of their demand while in tn,
fall when eggs are high, 20 pc
cent of the eggs consumed in the
big city were laid in this state.
George B. Schmidt beautifully
sang one of the sweetest love songs
ever heard in Forgotten and
his encore on Will o. the Wisp"
was homerun triumph.
The club then voted to give $50
to the Home to buy chairs for the
club room.
Our County Commissioner Frank
III. Paul gave an interesting ad-
dress on the island road program
and talked in favor of the pro
posed addition of 4 more stories
to the present court house. He was
given round after round Of APP
plause and has lost none of his
great popular grip on the island.
President Miller announced the
next meeting would be held III Jan
uary at Burton and that new Of
ficers would be elected at that
time. He said the old officers
would not accept reelection
which means it will be necessary
to decide upon new leaders for
1926. The old officials have serv-
ed for two years and given SO
much time and energy to the work
that it is only fair to ask other
workers to get INTO the harness and
shoulder some of this public load
OF community service.
We nave heard mentioned w. j,
Mcgowan for Presidet and this
paper feels that he would make
as splendid an official as could be
found on the island. He is level
headed first class business man.
and has the time and means to de
vote to the work which would fall
upon him should he be selected.
Fay McClintock of Burton has
been ringing out the Vashon island
call for so many years to the world
that he has become hoarSe. Nc
better man for Vice-President
could be found, and he would rep,
resent the south end OF the islanG
with credit. For secretary it would
seem that Maury should be recog
nized, and the News-Record be
lieves that G. II. Garner would fill
the bill to perfection. He has a
typewriter for the correspondence.
represents one of the biggest
and most important concerns Of
the island in the light and phone
service, and if he would accept the
lob, the records would continue be
ing faithfully kept as they have
been, and the club would be serv.
ed both wisely and well. 1t re
mains for the west side to have &
place on the roster and for treas.
urer this paper feels u. White
more would be 100 per cent good.
As honest as the present treasurer
which is saying whole lot, il
there is to be an entire change OF
officials we would like to see Mr.
Whittemore take over the work
Mr.. Whitfield has SO faithfully
done the past two years.
With such lineup the club will
90 ,teadily forward and Vashon is
lard will continue to challenge the
world as the best spot for home
in the entire great and growing
we {. The following persons have
paid up their membership for 1926
and form the nucleus for the work
of next year:
Frank IL, Paul, G. b. Bragg, r.
G Thompson. c. Il. Garner, W.
Coy Meredith, John Jensen, Gar
