pRuNE BEFORE WINTER

Fruit trees may be safely pruned
after the first heavy freeze has killed
the leaves. AS long as the leaves are
alive, the tree should not be disturbed
for the foliage aids to ripen the wood
and to store food. During the first
two or three years most attention
should be directed toward forming a
strong framework that will not split
when the tree comes into bearing.
After trees are bearing. the object Of
pruning is to keep the trees low and
within bounds, and to admit light to
the lower limbs to keep them vigorous

Fathers and Sons Banquet
Well Attended

On last Thursday evening more thar
two hundred of the fathers and sons
of the Island were seated In the Com
munity Home to again enjoy, what has
come to be recognized as an annual
all-Island affair, the Fathers and
Sons banquet.
The dinner was served by the ladies
of the Presbyterian Auxiliary, assist
ed by volunteer help from all parts of
the Island. The officers of the
Auxiliary were greatly pleased by the
fact that friends from other parts Of
the Island SC unhesitatingly offered
their services, showing that the feeling
of cooperation was general
Seated around the prettily decorated
tables were fathers of all ages, fathers
both by birth and adoption, young
fathers with their very young sons,
and older fathers, with sons approach
ing middle age. The eldest father
present was Mr.. Covey, who with his
son, w. v. were presented to those
present. The Garvin family, all of
them Williams, were there. four gen.
erations strong. The largest family of
boys present were Ira Thompson, and
his four fine sons. A. 7. Bacchus could
have qualified had his youngest son
been among those present. Many of
the adaptive fathers, with their sons
borrowed for the occasion, seemed to
get as much fun out of the evening
as the real fathers. It was quite
evident that the satisfaction of the
borrowed sons was very genuine.
The program opened with group
of songs, sung Justify by all present,
led by George Schmidt. Mrs. M. L.
Tjomsland, accompanied by Mrs.
Ganly, sang group of songs, in her
usual happy manner. These were fol-
lowed by group of solos by Mr..
Schmidt, accompanied by Mrs. Grace
Beall. The songs of both soloists were
in keeping with the spirit of the even
ing.
Mr. Robertson, the POSTMASTER, then
introduced Norman Edison, who re-
counted many experiences of his youth,
in response to the toast, "If were a
boy. Mr.. Edison outlined. that while |
his was a youth, rich in experience,
that it had presented possibilities of |
danger that he would rather avoid |
were he boy again.
Fielder Bealls response to when
I'm Dad" showed that there were
many reasons why the present was
indeed a satisfactory age in which to
be growing to manhood, that the boys
of today would have much to tell to
their sons of the development Of the
present time.
DR.. Ward w. Sullivan delivered a
splendid message to not only the sons
but to the fathers as well. DR..
Sullivan is president of Whitworth
College. and for many years has been
with young people in
various capacities.
The evenings program was closed
by DR.. Randall who voiced his deep
Of the support accorded
to this event, and the hope that the
Island would witness many more such
gatherings in the years to come.
