HARDWARE STORE
TO OPEN SOON

Progress and more progress
seems to be the order of the day
on Vashon Island.
About two years ago, c. G. Kim
mel moved from the Fox River
Butter Company store into his
present location. At that time il
seemed as though the new store
would be large enough for Mr..
klmmel's business for many years.
Now, after this short time, the
business has so increased that adj
dltional floor space is necessary
For several weeks the workmen
have been busy repairing and
painting the interior of the build
ing on the corner lately vacated
by f. A. Weiss. Windows have
been cut on the north side, giving
ample light and ventilation
r Here, soon after the first OF the
year, Mr.. Kimmel viii open an up
to-date store in which he will
handle general line Of hardware.
paints, house furnishings and
dishes. He will also carry a splen-
did line of toys and gifts.
Mr.. Kimmel has taken this step
after being thoroughly convinced
that there is room for such store
here, He is sure that this will
greatly stimulate home trading as
Vashon has long needed real
hardware store, not merely Il side
line of that sort Of merchandise.
Garner is a "home" product
having lived here all of his life.
with the exception of the time
spent in service during the Wal.
He and his good wife, have been
reared and educated on Vashon
Island and their three youngsters
have been born here.
They are the substantial ambi-
tious kind who constitute the foun
dation for our civic progress.
The News-ReGord feels sure that
all who know Garner will be
equally glad that this expansion
has been possible. We wish him the
best of luck in his new mdertak
ing.

WEISS and NET-CRO
FORMAL OPENING

II is very seldom that com
munity, the size of ours, has an
expression of prosperity, such as
we will see evidenced on Satur-
day, December 18th.
+. A. Weiss and the Net Gro
Garage will on that day hold the
formal opening Of their new places
of business.
The success of these two firms
shows again the contrast between
the business progress being made
now, and a few years ago.
Altho still comparatively
young man, Mr.. Weiss has been a
part of the community for many
years. He and Mrs. Weiss have
reared and educated their family
here.
Mr.. Cronander and Mr.. Metzen-
Der came to us, after the Island
had emerged from its formative
period. They, and their wives
have entered, heart and soul into
the life of the community. Their
children, we hope, will grow up
here.
Not only should these two firms
be congratulated on their achiev-
ment, but the whole Island de-
serves congratulation likewise. Ii
is the support that has been given
by the people of Vashon-Maury
Island that has made possible the
growth of these two different
types Of business.
We, together with the rest of
their well-wishers trust that this
evidence of their success is only
the beginning of the prosperity
+. A. Weiss and the Met-Cro Gar
age win enjoy, and with them,
all Of Vashon-M -Maury Island.

DR.. NcMURRAY TO
ENLARGE OFFICE

Plans are being made for an ad-
dition TO Dr. McMurray's present
office in his residence at Vashm.
Three rooms are to be added, in
sun porch effect on the south side
of his house, will provide the addi-
tional space his growing practice
demands.
In addition TO his present office,
he will have another office, a
reception room, also a treatment
room. These will be furnace heated
Martin Tjomsland, beside max
ing the plans, viii have charge OF
the building work. Actual work
will probably begin within a few
days.
DIR. McMurray has lately added
to his office equipment electrical
apparatus, such as is being in
stalled in much larger communi-
ties than this. The latest addition
is a Mcintosh Diathermy.
This is used medically for the
relief of congestion, sprains and
different'types of muscle injuries
Surgically it is used in place OF
the knife for the removal of vari-
Gus skin blemishes, including skin
cancer. In the many other posi-
BILE minor operations performed
with the aid Of the diathermy, the
result is a bloodiess operation.
As the need arises DIR. McMur-
ray will add to this, other types
of electrical apparatus.
We congratulate DR.. McMurray
in his work here among Us and
are glad that this branching out i.
possible. His progress has not beer
heralded by much display, but he
has quietly worked among us
keeping abreast with the times
ready and willing to do all in his
power for the good of the com
munity
We hope that he will not for
sake that vanishing race, thu
ceuntry doctor, who is apparently
being lost TO this day of sp2ciali
zation. but will continue to fee
that he IS one of our institutions
and that we can not get along
without him.

FORMER RESIDENT OF
ISLAND PASSES ON

News was received here this
week of the death of Robinson
Johnstone, who passed away at his
home i'll Seattle.
Mr. Johnstone was for many
years "A resident Of Vashon, living
on his ranch near the Clifford
Menees home. He had never dis
posed of this property.
Although Mr.. Johnstone had
reached the advanced age of 81 he
was still active, both mentally aud
physically. sHe visited the Island
not long ago, attending the church
service conducted by DR.. Spauld-
ing.
Among the members of his fam
lily left to mourn his loss, the best
known is Mrs. Morton, who for
eight years taught in the Vasllon
High school, about ten or twelve
years ago. Seldom does a teacher
leave behind her the imprint of a
personality such as Mrs. Morton
left. She holds today as firm a
place in the affections of the pupils
of that time as she did when she
was coming in daily contact with
them.
Mr.. ,Iohnstone's S many friends
will grieve to know that he has
passed into the great Beyond.

Light COMPANY
INSTALL REGULATORS

Last week the Puget Sound Pow
er and Light Company finished in
stalling two 200 ampere regulators
at the Hayes corner, on Maury Is.
land. This was done at cost to
the company of $10,500.
The purpose of the regulators is
to control the variation of the
electric current. 1t will result in
doing away with the Pickering Of
our lights.
In addition to this we will have
also such a steady voltage that th,
danger of radio tubes burning oui
will be practically eliminated. The
companies selling AC sets will now
give the same guarantee on their
sets here as on the mainland, This
has not been the case heretofore.
This week the Company have
also added to the street lights at
both Vashon and Burton.
In Vashon there have been four
additional lights installed while
Burton is the brighter by six
lights Due to the untiring effort
Of the Burton Improvement Club
who are sponsoring the placing Of
these lights, this number, will in
the near future, be increased to
ten.

Reader Urges
Support of the
Daily Worker
Editor, The DAILY WORKER:

1t is the duty of every worker,
party member and sympathizer to
rally to the aid of our Daily which Is
at present being attacked by the CAPT
talist flunkeys with the aid of the
federal courts. We must sever per-.
manently the tentacles of the capital
list octopus which is threatening to
kill our Daily.
We, the workers, truly realize what
the Daily has done for labor's cause.
Wall Street and its government real
ize as long as The DAILY WORKER
Is alive, it will always expose their
corrupt deeds against the workers at
home and its Colonial possessions"
We must solidly stand behind our
comrades, Bill Dunno, Alex Bittelman
and Bert Miller, who have energeti-
cally fought for the freedom of the
enslaved masses from the capitalist
yoke and who now are confronted
with a maximum punishment of five
years in the federal penitentiary.
The Wall Street government has
its hands full at present trying to
subdue the Chinese masses, SANDING
and his faithful adherents, while at
home they are trying to smash our
unions and Jail the leaders. But as
long as we have a genuine labor pa
per, The DAILY WORKER, to fight
back and enlighten the workers at
large all about the labor-union-
smashing government of the United
States, their task will not be an easy
one.
Therefore it is very urgent that
The DAILY WORKER get financial
aid from the workers.
Yours Comradely,
