SOMETHING NEW
UNDER THE SUN

Solomon should have lived tc
,re December LIST 1926 ON Vashou
island and he would have revised
lis old yarn about nothing now. "
i''or on this day we dined ON Vasll-
an island grown new potatoes. The
irst Of the week our old Cove
friend, w. V. Crosier came mto
tile office with large paper sack
under his arm and told us Oh
Thanksgiving day he had new pc
iatoes for his dinner, We looked
slieptical, and Mr.. CroSier quietly
opened his sack and said the cou
tents were for us. These potatoes
were cooked and served on the ed
itor's table today and were as fine
us anything in that line ever pro
duced anywhere. They were
planted the first part of August.
Mr.. Crosier says the vines are Wig
orous and deep green. They have
not blossomed, but the potatoes are
there in abundance, and are nov
about the size of hens eggs, He
expects to harvest the crop about
Christmas time. This is a FACT,
let someone beat it with FICTION.

that On his pet subject lie can talk

Mr.. Fred Insigncr, assistant pub

ISLAND COMMUNITY CLUB

AT meeting OF the Trustees Of
the Island Community Club on
Monday last several important
matters came up for discussion.
One, which will surprise many,
no doubt, was voted upon by the
Trustees and committee present
That was to change the name of the
club. This will also be put to the
vote of the entire membership OF
the club at the Open House meet
ing to be held the 2nd Monday
night in January.
That the name "Vashon Island
Community Club" is confusing
and misleading is an admitted fact.
There are several Community
Clubs in different districts on the
Island, each one called for the dis
trict in which it is located. When
this Club was organized it was
thought that Vashon Island Com
munity Club would embrace the
entire Island and show that it was
an all Island club. Had the town
Of Vashon been called by any oth-
or name the idea would have ear
ried. As it is, to many, it would
seem that the Community Club is
u Vashon project 1t seems tlat
il is too late to change the name OF
the town, but the Trustees thought
that it might convey the right idea,
il the name Of the club be changed.
So it was voted to call it the "All
Island or "Island Club. 1t is
a fact that all communities enjoy
tic use of the building and come
to the entertainments given there,
and appreciate the advantage OF
having such a place. 10 show the
sincerity OF the ones who have pro
NOTED this club the executives are
taking this step and ask everyone
to believe that it is done solely to
prove to the satisfaction of every
community that it is an all Island
Club and all are urged to come and
enjoy he privileges of central,
comfortable Club House.

Less chlorine is used in preparing

Al anomalous condition with re-
gard to the comparative sales OF wa,

for July this year were about so'soo

water during July this year was ~
600. 900 gallons as against 33,ooo.oOO
gallons in the same month last year:
The reason that the city pumped
less and sold more this year IS that
there were some rather serious leaks
