Rev. Randall Installed Before
Laase Congregation
Tuesday Night.

The installation services of the new
Presbyterian pastor, Rev. E. G. Randal
were carried out with impressive
simplicity at the church last Tuesday
evening. The main body of the
church was well filled.
After congregational singing, and
special music by the choir, the mod
orator of the Seattle Presbytery, DR..
Templeton, of University Presbyterian
Church, preached forceful sermon,
stressing the need in our present day
Christian work of much the same
methods that were effective during
Pauls ministry.
In his charge to the congregation,
Rev. James H. Edgar, of Bethel Presby-
terian Church, Seattle, paid splendid
tribute not only to Rev. Randall, but to
Mrs. Randall as well. He told of the
excellent work they had done in form
er charges, and gave the Vashon
church assurance that these splendid
people would render just as great
service here as elsewhere, if given the
opportunity.
1t was coincidence, worthy of re-
mark, that the charge to the pastor
should have been given by Rev. Hugh
Armstrong, former pastor of the local
church, who had received his charge
from Rev. Randall at the time of his
installation here four years ago,
Rev. Randall and his wife have al
ready launched into the work here in
an enthusiastic manner. Mr.. Randall
has the studious type of mind that will
steer clear of the religious fads with
which we are beset in this day and
generation. Mrs. Randall has started a
splendid work with the children be-
tween the ages of 8 and 12. filling q
long felt need in our community.

Plaus Perfected for Ladies
Dinner.

1t will indeed be a unique experience
for those ladies who have usually found
themselves in the kitchen of the Is
land Club serving food to the sterner
sex, to sit down and be served by men,
with food prepared by men. How
ever, this will be the case the evening
of Friday, October, 25th, when the men
of the Island Community Club will
prepare and serve a dinner to 200
ladies of the Island, in the main
auditorium of the Community Home
And that isn't all. After the dinner
there will be program, planned and
delivered by men only. This all
sounds like an utter impossibility, but
1t can't be, for with all of the hustle
of preparation something splendid is
bound to result. At any rate, the men
are maintaining utmost secrecy about
everything, from r"enu to program,
which, of course, makes them feel in
class apart from mere women.
The committee in charge of the
banquet are: Program, o. E. Ramquist
and Chas. England; Kitchen, Elmer
Harmeling, w. D. Garvin, w. d. Clark,
Fred Bridgman, Kirby Prigg, and
Martin Tjomsland; Dining Room, Ira
o. Thompson and twenty assistants.
The tickets are practically gone. If
you have not secured one 1t is Just
possible that Mrs. Martin Tjomsland
has a few left, although latest reports
indicated that the number remaining
was very small. No one will be ad-
mitted without a ticket.

Bob Stewart Shows Promise
In U Crew.

University of Washington, Seattle,
Octobe IA Especial to Vashon Island
News-RecorO = Robert Stewart of
Burton, sophomore here at the Uni
versity, is turning out for crew this
fall. Although a sophomore Bob is
turning out with the freshmen crews
at the first of the year in order to be
in shape for try at the varsity boats
when the veterans turn out in the
middle of this month. Bob did not
turn out for crew in his first year, de-
voting his time instead to getting on a
firm scholastic basis. Now, well ahead
on that score he is out for some
athletic honors.
He has good build for crew as it
is rowed at Washington, but is little
light in weight, touching the scales at
only $50.
AS candidate for crew he will be
turning out virtually every day of the
school year. No sport at the Uni
versity demands such long turnout
period nor such sustained effort and
persistence as does crew--Which ac-
counts for the high regard in which
any winner of crew letter of frosh
crew numeral is held.
Bob will have hard job to win q
seat this year, but with a years turn
out under his belt and a few more
pounds on his frame, he has excellent
prospects.

Reception to be Given Island
Teachers.

On next Monday evening, at the
Vashon Island Community Home, the
members of the Parent Teachers As
sociation from the various districts
will entertain the teachers of the en-
tire Island. A public reception will be
given them at the Island Club house
to which all those interested in our
schools are invited to be present, and
to meet our teachers.
Primarily this affair is being spon-
sored by the high school P. T. A., but
they will be assisted by the grade
organizations.
1t is to be hoped that Monday even
ing will mark the largest reception
that has ever taken place in our COM
munity. Never before have we had
q finer lot of teachers than are in our
schools this year. They are intensely
interested in their work, and as better
feeling is always engendered by teach
ers and patrons knowing one another,
the parents should feel enough interest
to come and meet the teachers of
their children.
The school buses will provide trans
portation for those who have no other
means, making their regular stops.
The committee failed to inform us as
to the exact time the buses will start
but no doubt this information can be
obtained IRON the president Of your
local P. T. A.

Plan an An.IsIsnd Monthly
Conference.

The new pastor, Rev. Mr. Randall,
preached to increased audiences last
Sunday both morning and evening.
There was also larger attendance at
the Sunday school and the Christian
Endeavor meeting. At the latter, Mr..
Randall suggested the formation of an
all-island monthly conference, invit-
ing all other societies, that the work
of the young people Of the entire Is
land might be profited. Plans for such
q conference will soon be worked out
Mr.. Randal's preaching subjects for
next Sunday will be: Morning, "Ac-
quaintance or Friend" and In the even-
ing. "The Cross and the Throne"
The pastor announced on Sunday
evening that he wished to build up n
really notable Sunday evening song
service. This will be the congrega-
TONS opportunity for sing. Mr..
shunke, teacher In our high school,
presided at the piano and will do SO
every Sunday evening. 1t Is hoped
to build up q large chorus of young
people as well as others for this oc-
casion.

directed the morning choir last year,
will begin this work again next Sun
day morning, with Miss Vivian

B. D. Mukai Building Modern
Home.

Along with the country road build
ing activities B. D. Mukai has started
a road building project all his own,
and is building private road 30 feet
wide and 1000 feet long from the main
road running west of the bank. into
his property. This will facilitate
traffic during the packing season.
In keeping with his policy of always
wanting the good things of life Mr..
Mukai Is building modern six room
frame house, plans for which were
drawn up by the U. s. Small House
Service Co., of Seattle, and are up to
the minute in every detail.
The main part of the house will be
40 by SO feet, with a porch 10 by %
feet. The dining and living rooms,
connected by an arch will be 16 by 80
feet. The basement garage is % by 20
fee; in dimensions. The hot water
heating plant will be equipped with an
oil burner. A modern water system,
lately installed will supply water for the
house, as well as the packing plant
AS soon as the house is completed
work will be begun on the new pack
ing house which is to be So by 100 feet

New High School Building
Now up to Voters.

On Saturday afternoon. October 26
between the hours of one and eight,
the voters of Vashon-M -Maury Island
will decide by their vote whether the
Islands shall build new modern high
school building, on the site which was
bought last year from the proceeds of
q special levy which the voters granted.
To date $7050 has been spent on this
property, $2,950 for the twenty acres of
ground, $4,000 for clearing it, $3.50 for
leveling and $3.50 for water under the
Island Mutual Water Company project.
Now that the district gave such an
overwhelming majority vote for the
mill levy at the last special election to
start building fund, one could hardly
assume that the voters of Vashon-
Maury Island would reverse their fine
start toward the new high school
building by refusing the bond issue.
The Indebtedness of all districts is
now below per cent which gives the
union district a clear field to bond for
3 per cent of the assessed valuation.
The board of directors are asking
for bond issue of $4,000, which with
a special levy of mills will give the
district total of $50,465.
Then with the mills to be asked
for in March will make little over
$4,000 to be used in erecting the new
building.
The entire building plan has all been
told so many times in the last special
election that repetition is unnecessary.
The bond election will be held at the
Center school building as the law pro-
vides that school district bonds of the
second class must be voted for at one
polling place.
Transportation will be provided for
all districts. The full schedule will be
published in next issue of the News
Record.

Vashen Laundry Leased

This week marked the change of
control of one of our Island Industries,
the Vashon Laundry, when 1t was
leased for a time to j. G. Inge, the
present route man, and his brother in
law, A. j. Brown, of Seattle.
Mrs. Emily Hall, the owner, is leasing
the plant in order to take a much
needed rest, The laundry was built
by Mrs. Hall about three years ago,
and she has worked faithfully to build
up a business that is credit to the
Island. Mrs. Hall has been in the
laundry business here for the past
fourteen years, and surely deserves q
rest from her labors, for a time at
least.
Mr.. Inge, who is too well known to
the patrons of the laundry to require
any introduction, has been in the
laundry business for about thirty
years, and knows every phase Of the
work. Mr.. Brown was for many years
manager of the West Seattle Laundry,
and several years ago retired, after
thirty six years spent in different lines
of the work. With an aggregate ex-
perience of sixty-six years it would
seem that these two men are qualified
to conduct the business in such way
that it will build up and continue to
be the Island institution that Mrs.
Hall has endeavored at all times to
make it.
Mrs. Hall bespeakes for her success
ors in the work the same loyal sup
port and patronage that have been ac-
corded to this Island plant in the past.

Al. Linnestad Passes Away
in Norway.

Wednesday morning Walter Steen
received letter from Norway inform
ing him of the death of A. j.
Linnestad, who passed away Septem-
ber 23rd at the home of his niece in
Oslo, Norway.
About Two and half months ago
Mr.. Linnestad left the Island for q
visit to the land of his childhood. His
health had been very poor for some
time, but he hoped that he would be
much benefited by a trip, and visit
with relatives and friends. While he
had disposed of his property here he
nevertheless admitted that he hoped
to return some day. He looked for
ward eagerly to surprising his family
remaining in the old country, yet
made arrangements for the News
Record to follow him that he might
keep in touch with his friends here.
Anton Johann Linnestad was born
at Smaalanene, Norway, July 2, 1853.
Here he grew to young manhood, COM
ing at the age of 26 to America. He
lived for two years in North Dakota,
one year in Seattle after which he
came to Vashon Island, where he has
resided, near the village of Vashon.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Linnestad
returned to his old home in Norway,
but remained only for a short time,
returning to his home on the Island.
Although i'll health has caused A.
lessening of his activities in later years
Mr.. Linnestad at one time was identi-
fled with all movements of public
benefit. His orchard was the finest on
the Island, and the fruit it produced
won prizes wherever 1t was exhibited.
His quiet, retiring disposition did not
prevent his true worth being recogniz-
ed, and no greater tribute could be
paid to anyone than the regret that
was expressed over his leaving the Is
land, and the fact that his health
would possibly prevent his returning.
A beautiful friendship existed be-
tween Mr.. Linnestad, and the late
Ludwig Steen, with whom Mr.. Lime
stad made his home for the last ten
or twelve years preceding Mr.. Stems
death last fall.
Beside his many friends Mr.. Lime
stad is survived by brother and niece
in Norway who were with him at the
time of his death. He was laid to rest
at Oslo, in the land of his nativity.
