LOCAL GIRL RECEIVES
HONORABLE MENTION

We are happy to publish the
following story, copied from
"Clearings," the official publiea-
tion of the Seattle chapter of the
American Institute of Banking, In
the February issue is also a pic
ture of the subject of the sketch.
The article is in regard to the
outstanding scholastic records
made by those engaged in follow
ing out the educational program of
the American Institute of Bank
ing, and features those young peo-
pie who not only by their excel
lent scholarship but by their reg
ular class attendance made the
highest grades,
The article from "Clearings"
follows;
Miss Francis A, Blekkmk, whose
picture appears in this article,
took the top rung of the ladder
with mark of 0S9e, Further
more, Miss Blekkink received the
highest grade awarded to az
member of Dexter Horton Nation
al Bank enrolled in any OF the
Standard courses for the first sem
ester. Coming to the Dexter llor-
ton in June, 1928, where she now
serves in the Auditing Depart
ment, she took advantage OF her
first opportunity to enroll in the
Courses of the A. |. u.
Although her birthplace was So
Dakota, Miss Blekkiuk has lived
in Washington since She was two
years old. Upon her graduation
from the Vashon High School, she

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS
BANQUET GREAT SUCCESS

| The banquet held at Burton on
"Wednesday evening was a pronoun-
lced success in every respect, When
the idea of a Mothers and Daugh-
Iter's banquet was first discussed
there was a certain element of
doubt as to the success of such
an affair, but its reception has
made it apparent that if the ladies
of Burton choose, it will become
an annual affair, just as the Fa-
TIERS and Sons banquet at Wash
Oh has become,
Those in charge of the ticket
selling compute that at least fifty
persons had to be refused tickets
this week, so great has been the
interest,
The idea of Springtime was beau
ltfully carried out in the decoration
of the banquet hall as we'll as in
the menu, Green and yellow, the
predominating eolors, were fur
nished by the use of our native
greens and Island grown flowers,
The banquet was served by as
correct a staff of walters, under
the direction of Mr., Frank Lilly,
as could be imagined, White coat
ed and efficient, they rendered ser
vice as though they were daily so
occupied, The only evidence of
lack of professional air was the
lglee displayed by one member of
the staff over a tip he received,
After the tables were cleared the
remainder of the evening was Civ
EN- over to an excellent program
lof toasts and music, after which
DR. Satler Of Seattle gave splen-
did talk TO mothers and daughters.
II is too bad that every mother
Iand daughter in the land could not
have heard what she had to say
and profit by her suggestions.
The ladies of the auxiliary OF
the Burton church, as well as
those who aided in making the
Ieyening such an unqualified sue
cess are to be congratulated on the
result of their effort aud warrant
the thanks of the mothers and dau-
Ighters for this innovation. II is
to be hoped that this is but the
beginning of a new era in our
community aud that there will be
many occasions in which the mo-
theirs and daughters can take part
as companions, rather than repre-
lsentatives of two distinct genera
ltions.

Masterphone Is
A Great Success

By dint of strenuous work on
the part of a crew of experts the
magnificent Masterphone de Luxe,
Wednesday evening made its mi
tial bow to the community through
the medium of 'Red Skin" the
very latest picture starring Rich
ard Dix, That most of the audien-
ee was more than satisfied is very
evident from the many favorable
comments heard on every hand.
Few of us fully realize that our
own little picture house is being
commented ON the length and
breadth of the land, On WedneS-
day afternoon, during the final
test of the equipment, Mr., Quack-
enbush, the Western Electric ex-
pert, in charge of the installation
of the Masterphone, made the state
ment that Mr., Burfield's enter
prise in keeping abreast of the
times in his theatre here was the
talk of all connected with the bus
mess. He said that no one yet
had figured what gave him the
courage to go on improving in a
community with as small a popu-
lation as ours, and a house with no
lornar caatinp oapaoityr
His first picture with sound eff
feet is as lovely a picture as could
be imagined, 1t has been shown
in only the larger cities, and in not
all of them. If this picture is a
promise of what We are to have
in the future, then indeed we have
seen only the infancy of motion
pictures. Those who have seen the
exquisite coloring of the desert
skies can witness that "Redskin y
is indeed true to nature, Better
still, we have at last seen a picture
in which the most puritanical could
find no Objectionable element.
Contrary to the opinion that
might easily be formed, we get To-
cally, the best films, in their en-
tirety, with NOTHING left out,
What Mr.. Burfield has brought
to the Island in the past is but a
promise Of what we may expect
in the future,
On Saturday, matinee and even
ing, will be shown the "King of
Kings" This picture has been
so widely discussed that no com
ment ON the part of this paper
could add to what we already know
of it. Many who have paid several
dollars to see it elsewhere expect
to see it again Saturday at small
Traction of what they previously
paid to see it.

button of all food products for human
consumption, in committee bill.
Cities and towns of the state would
be authorized to discontinue by or
dinances the operation of any public
utility, under bill presented by
Representative Paysee, King. The bill
would make unnecessary approval
from the voters.
The senate passed the "farm-to-mar
ket" road bill, which provides for
onecent increase in the gasoline tax.
and thereby moved contrary to the pro
nounced policy of Governor Hartley in
respect to gasoline taxes,
Consideration OF the "farm-to-mar
ket" bill developed lively opposition b.
a stuoborn minority, headed by Sen,
ator Sutton, Spokane, who finally
warned, Don't forget, the governor
said he was against an increase in the
gasoline tax" Nevertheless the meas
ure was passed by vote of 81 to 8.
Plenty of votes for the measure was
assured when senators of the small
corntles consented TO amendments to
permit SlS2,O00 annually for bridges in
Seattle and about $4,000 annually
each for Tacoma and Spokane.
The bill. as passed by the senate.
carried an appropriation of S4,S94.745

by the onecent boost in the gasoline
tax. With the exception of the con
cessions to the three large cities, the
extra money Is q be used almost
wholly for county highway ystems.
Legislators Want Pay Increase.
The senate voted 10 give the peopl,
another chance to increase the pay
for legislators. Members of the leafs
lature have received S. day sine,
statehood, and the voters have repeat
lily refused to provide higher salary
Nevertheless, the senate voted "a t,
to submit a bill in the 1880 general
election to increase legislative pay to
$500 session. which would mean IS SS
a day.
Two elective state officers. who have
been in constant conflict with Cover
nor Hartley, We're put on the block In
the legislature and both were handled
roughly, The house upheld the Hart

ENGLAND 8 PETERSEN IN
STITUTE NEW DEPARTING T

In line with the progressive pol
Iieies of our own Vashon Island
feed dealers, England & Petersen
have inaugurated a new depart,
ment to be called the Poultry De,
Ipartment,
Under this department will come
everything pertaining to chickens
from incubation to the marketing
of cull chickens, Under it also
will come diseases of chickens,
The purpose of the department
is tn erendering of service so that
the producer can get all that is to
be had from the industry, The de-
paltment hopes to be able to advise
in case of trouble and to do all
within its power to combat with
disease.
This servlce is free to every
poultry raiser in the community,
irrespective of the brand of feed
he is using, The main purpose is
to promote this industry in every
way possible.
In charge of this department
the firm has selected Cephas j.
Ramquist, of whose experience the
Island knows. He has been most
successful, first as hatchery man,
then as manager of the Island :
largest commercial poultry plant,
They consider him most capable
and urge the poultry raisers to
call upon him at any time, and
profit by his experience in the sol
ution of their problems,
In addition to this service they
will also attend to the marketing
of the producers poultry, selling
liz for the hest price obtaiuable
and dedueting only the hauling
charges. They will be glad of the
opportunity to serve in this man
.ner
It is only through such cooper
alton as this that the poultry in
dustry on the Island can be de-
veloped to It's fullest extent. The
News Record eongratulates Eng

partule into the field Of service.
