The Boy Scouts

Dee. 6, 1927,
Last evening the Vashon Boy
Scouts gave a banquet at the Wash
on Community Home in honor OF
their Mothers. | was fortunate
enough to be one OF the honored
guests. | am glad | went, because,
| realize now that they are a won
derful organization and under the
able and willing leadership of our
local Scout Master, Mr. Ira Thomp-
son, the Boy Scouts of Vashon Is
land are going to be one of the
leading Organizations Of the Island,
For a man who is giving his time
so unSelfishly and willingly with.
out pay is bound to bring his
Scouts TO the front.
1t is an organization which is
moulding characters and budding
future Americans to be proud Of.
But Mr. Thompson needs help
help given unselfishly and willing
ly--Someone or more than one to
give an evening or two per week
to assist in training and helping
the boys.
The boys need a place of their
very own to meet in, and at pres.
emf there is such a place available
which can be fixed up for about
$1,000. At present the Scouts have
between $l00 and $500 available,
II seems TO me that any assistance
which may be given them, no mat.
ter how little would go for good
cause.
Their work on Vashon has only
begun and | believe it is only a
matter OF a few years until nearly
every boy ON the Island will he

boys who are now six, seven or
eight years old viii be q Scout al
the age of twelve years aud that
means big organization and, if
by any means we can help them

TO ELECTRIFY PAPER MILL
PLANT

The Newark, Del, Post reports
that the Curtis G Brother Company,
established since 184S and well
known as makers of the finest
grades of leaf, book and writing
papers, have been operating their
mill for many years by power from
their steam boilers used to drive
steam engines in various parts of the
plant. These served them well for
many years, but, when all costs of
coal, labor and other materials ad-
vanced, and to meet competition, it
was found necessary to increase pro-
duction and at the same time de-
crease operating costs.
After careful survey it was de-
cided to install electric power to
drive their machinery as means OF
decreasing costs and increasing pro-
duction and efficiency. The Will
mington and Philadelphia Traction
will furnish the power.
