UNION HIGH SCHOOL
P. T. A. ORGANIZED

AT general meeting of parent,
and teachers held in the High
School assembly hall at Burton Oh
September 18th, the Union High
School P. I. A. was formally or.
ganized, and is now live and
enthusiastic body, with over one
hundred members signed ur
with glowing prospects for a three
hundred active membership be-
fore the end of this year.
A glance at the list of members
shows that not only are active Is
land leaders taking hold, but what
it not so usual in p. T. A. work,
the "man of the house" seems
about to pitch into it as we find
the names of both "Mr. and Mrs.
being listed almost invariably.
The meeting was called to order
by Rev. t. S. Fretz, former Presi-
dent of the Burton High School
P, II. A., with Mrs. B. p. Kirkland
as Secretary.
Mrs. Pogue, Principal of the
Burton Grammer School read a
splendid report of the P. T. A.
state convention held at Longview
last May, and Mrs. Rees read for
Mrs. Bragg report upon the
same convention, to which these
ladies had been sent at delegates,
and for which reports they were
rendered vote OF thanks.
Mrs. Il. III. Larsen extended to
all Island residents cordial in
vitation to attend the convention
of the King County p. 7. A. to be
held at the Island Club House, Oc-
tober 18th. Luncheon will be
served at II O'Clock at cost of
80 cent per plate,
1t was then decided to formally
organize, using the constitution
based upon the Burton High
School Constitution until a new
one could be adopted. The follow
ing officers were elected.
Mr.. p. S. Pettelle, President /;
Mrs. Elmer Stone, Vice President !;
Mrs. Hugh Armstrong, Secretary /;
Mrs. j. ID. Reeves, Treasurer.
The entire meeting was carried
through by Rev. 4. S, Fretz, in
his characteristic and entertaining
manner. He opened it with a rous-
ing Community sing-the Nation
al anthem and then the Lord s
Prayer in unison. He had provid-
ed for soprano solo which was
beautifully rendered by Miss
Hotchkins, also violin selections
by Mr.. Fred Heirsch. After the
meeting a most excellent luncheon
was served.
The new officers are now busy
with committee appointments, so
that the completed work of organ
ization may be looked for at the
next regular meeting in October.

CHAS. ENGLAND
CLUB PRESIDENT

The annual election of officers
OF the Vashon Island Commercial
Club was held at the Island Club
House, Vashon, Tuesday evening,
September 25th.
After the reading of the min
utes of the previous meeting, and
the report of the treasurer at
which it was announced the Club
had a balance of $57 in the
general account and savings ac-
count of $252. Retiring Presi-
dent, b. III. Miller, asked for nom
nations for President. Mr.. Nor
man Edison was nominated and I'M
mediately asked for the floor and
said, 81 do not choose to run. "
Mr.. England was then nominated
and the nominations closed and
the secretary instructed to cast
the ballot for Mr.. England.
For those of our readers who do
not know Mr.. England, we give
the following synopsis of bis ac-
tivitles. President of the England
and Petersen Company, grain and
lumber merchants with branches
at Vashon, Colby, and Port Or
chard. President of the Vashon
Auto Freight Co., Vice President
OF the Credit Exchange of West
ern Washington, Vice President of
the Coast Insurance Agencies and
Director of the Seattle Auto
Freight Depot,
Mr.. England brings to the Club
a wide experience in business al
fairs and the results during the
next year should be well worth
the effort expended.
W. c. Meredith of Burton was
elected Vice President. Mr. Mere
dith needs no introduction to the
people of the Islands or TO any
members of the Club. He has been
an officer in the Club before and
his connection with the civic af-
fairs of the Island has always been
guarantee of the worth Of the
project.
Nominations were next in or
der for secretary and Il. w. +.
Martin who was retiring was re-
elected. This is small recognition
of the service performed by Mr..
Martin for the Club.
u. o. Whittemore was again
elected treasurer for the ensuing
year.
Following the election. Mr..
England gave short speech and
asked for rising vote of thanks
to Mr.. Miller who had given so
much Of his time for the past three
years as President.
Under the head of Business
for the New Year" the matter of
better waiting rooms at the Mar
ION Street and Fauntleroy docks
was introduced by Alex Stewart.
The matter of obtaining a better
power and light rate and more eff
ficient telephone service was al
so placed on the calendar of the
Club.
Mr. Spinning then brought up
that ever present ferry question,
this time in connection with the
service at the South end of the
Island Ii seems that the Ferry
Company wishes to discontinue
the II O'Clock service at night and
also change the time of the other
ferries. The Club instructed the
Secretary to ask the Public Ser
vice Commission for hearing on
the subject.
Following the discussion of ihc
various problems those present en-
joyed solos by Mrs. NJ. l.. Tjoms
land and Mr.. A. w. Ganly. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Gan
ly at the piano.
Coffee, doughnuts, cookies and
grapes were served following the

rem on this coast and the equal of

die hospitals reached IS and $6.

KELLOGG soon
To RECOGNIZE
NEW CHINA

Steadily accommodating evidence
s., diplomatic circles points to an
early move on the part OF the
limited states toward recognition
of the newly established Nation.
alist regime in China.
No official comment has come
from Secretary of State Kellogg
since his recent statement declar-
ing sympathy with the aspiration
of forces attempting to unity the
Celestial Empire, but the cables
to and from Picking in the past
few DAYS have carried ample as.
surances that this Government is
at least weighing the pros and cons
Of recognition.
Minister MacMurray at Picking
IL avowedly friendly and has re.
peatedly thrown his influence in
the parleys Of the ambassadors on
tho side OF moderation and neu-
tra1ity in the war between Chinese
factions.
WI Presses Case
Secretary Kellogg has stated sew.
eral times during the last year
that he would be happy to deal
with any delegations of Chinese
who can speak for 3 unified ma
ton.
C. C. WI, informal ambassador of
the Marking government, has been
in Washington for two months. He
has pressed the recognition claims
o. his government vigorously since
the capture of Peking from the
forces of Chang Tsc-Lin several
weeks ago.
Senator Borah, chairman OF the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee and a, close observer of Chinese
history during the past few years,
is also kindly disposed toward recog-
milton. He has conferred informally
with WI, at the latter's request,
and the impression prevails that he
has urged recognition at the State
Department.
May Play Lone Hand
Announcement OF q new policy
in China apparently was ready at
the State Department several days
ago. Last minute developments
of unknown nature caused 1t to
be delayed Since that time 1t has
transpired that some Of the other
powers have evinced an interest
in the American project.
Whether kellogg will be able to
win England and Japan over to
immediate de facto recognition liz
still a question, but If not, 1t Is
still likely that the United States
will revert to its original plan of
,onc-hand negotiations with Nan
king.
Markings recent declaration
against renewal of any treaties
granting extra -territoriality in any
port has complicated the delicate
parleys now in progress.
The Southern government is will
ling to comply with Kellogg's de-
mand for assurances OF adequate
protection to all foreign lives and
property, but there is still some
question in the minds of diplomats
whether the politics of China are
in shape to enable the Marking
regime to carry out such con-
tract permanently.
Rival military leaders, temper
arily unified by the drive on Picking,
are in several cases held together
by tenuous bonds.

Secretary Kellogg hopes to see a
solution of the Tacna-Arica dispute
before he relinquishes his post as
Secretary of State, and his good
