Commissioner Christopher, in charge
of an inquiry, said he possessed no
actual data to this effect, but be-

Insulated pipes in the basement,
where the explosion originated, form

The following ideas We're suggest

box when mailing letters.
BE sure you have your return
address on all mail, and do not
leave money scattered in the mail

vashon Schools Put on Christina
Pageant

The real meaning of Christmas
was enacted before the eyes of a
crowd that filled the Vashon
high school auditorium on the eve
ming of Tuesday, December %.
Lifelike portrayals Of scenes at the
time of the birth of Christ kept the
large audience expectantly on the
edges of their seats throughout the
performance.
From seven until eight people
slowly drifted into the auditorium
until finally the seats were all fill
ed. Temporary seats were Their
placed in the available space and
landing room alone remained.
This also was taken up before the
beginning of the program. The
audience was unique for the abb
sence of school children, the east
of the Identification comprising al
most all of the students.
Colorful Bible scenes were pre-
scented in such way as to bring
torcibly home to every one of the
viewers circumstance attendant
to the birth of our Master. The
costuming and lighting effects
were unusual in their brilliancy.
The characters, who have been
working under the direction of II.
Elaine Oberg, were true to their
parts.
Appropriate songs by the high
school chorus, mterspered thruout
the performance were especially
well received by the audience. q.
Anne Lavender has devoted much
of her time to drilling the chorus.
The pageant succeeded in its
purpose for it was a much appre-
clative and thoughtful crowd that
left the school-house at its close.
Parents of pupils and patrons of
the school were unanimous in their
appreciation of the service, its pur-
pose, and the spirit of the pupils
and faculty in causing this Page
ant to be given.
