Dropping a Course at the University

We are indebted to Fred Hiersch
for the following clipping from the y.
OF w. Daily. We really feel that be-
ing a true and loyal son of vashon
Island Fred should start out and find
the one guilty Of this libel. Despite
the fact that culture and learning
supposedly runs rampant about that
particular institution there are quite
few things still unknown to the
youth over there. 1t is up to Fred
to put across the idea that our Island
is not inaccessible, choosing his own
method of procedure. We're for him
no matter whether he chooses swords
or tear gas.
II you've ever tried to drop q course
without first thinking up a valid ex-
cuse you have some idea of the
sargasso of pink ribbon in which you
become entangled. Not only. must you
have note from your employer, but
notary public's stamp on your material
grandmother's picture. The best one
I heard of was the scrally forgery that
such-and-such was helping an old sea
captain build his latest boat on vashon
Island; and the letter was marked
with the Captains x. The conve-
nience lay in the fact that the island
is rather inaccessible. But as for the
person who dropped the course being
a helper-he hal hard time con-
structing a disable paddle.-U. Of w.

ANOTHER AUTO ACCIDENT

Last Monday afternoon, on his way
home from the ferry, Merrill Mathews
was given little assistance by a
Dockton car that landed him among
the trees In his fathers orchard.
According to reports Mathews had
turned off his engine and was coast
ing down the hill from the high school
He thought he had sufficient impetus
to carry the car into the yard, but
unfortunately Mr.. Danielson attempt
ed to pass just as the Mathews car
made left turn. Merrill says that
he signalled, but the fact that the
window Of his car on the left side was
closed would indicate that he did not
At any rate the Mathews car was
showed into the orchard, and the
Danielson car, also headed for the
orchard turned on its side, east of the
sidewalk, both cars decidedly the worse
for the encounter.
At the rate we have been having
automobile accidents lately we will
soon be in the big league class.

Mr.. and MRS. .PARKES
old RESIDENTS ON
ISLAND GO EAST
Was Identified With Educational Work
On the Island for Many
Years

1t is with real regret that their man.
y friends have received the news that
Professor and Mrs. w. G. Parkes have
left Vashon Island, after having called
1t "home" for almost quarter of q
century.
Although their residence has been at
Burton during these years the Parkes
have friends in every part Of the Is
land. Mr.. Parkes fund of ready wit
and humorous stories have made him
in demand as postmaster at many of
our banquets. His happy choice of
words makes 1t possible for him to
keep his listeners eagerly waiting to
see who would next draw the fire of
his kindly wit Apparently Mr.. Parkes
fund Of clean, wholesome fun is mex
haustible.
Prof Parkes has been identified with
the educational work on the Island al
most from the beginning of his resi-
dence here. During the time that the
Vashon College was in operation he
was a member of the faculty, continu-
ing his work, until as he says, with
true "Parkesonian" humor, he lived
to help carry out the remains. For
seven years Prof. Parkes was principal
of the Burton high school, and through
his work in that capacity, as well
as through his connection with the
College his influence has been felt on
the lives of many of the young people
going out from these two schools.
Mr.. farkes will be particularly mis-
sed from the Masonic cicles, where he
has served in many capacities. This
year he has served as High Priest of
the local chapter of the Royal Arch.
Mrs. Parkes has been no less active
in church and club work. She is a
past PRESIDENT of the Vashon, Island
Woman's Club, and through her inter-
est and zeal much has been accom-
plished in establishing the Burton
Library. She has been devoted in her
work with the Burton Community
church.
1t is hoped that Prof. and Mrs.
Parkes will miss their Island friends as
much as their friends will miss them,
finding it possible to return ere many
months pass.
Prof. and Mrs. Parkes left in their
new car this Thursday for Portland
where they will visit with relatives for
a few days before going east to Ohio
and other states farther east. There
plans for the future are not as yet de-
finitely made.

CEMENT COMPANY
DEVELOPING kAURY
ISLAND Sand PIT
New Project on Maury Island VIII
Employ From 20 to 30
W0rkmen

An expenditure of O great many
thousand dollars will be made by q
Portland cement company of Seattle
for the construction of dock, gravel
and sand bunkers, and the installation
Of machinery on the property formerly
owned by the old Vashon Sand and
Gravel Company, about three miles
south of Portage on Maury Island.
Preliminary work has already begun.
The News Record is unable to learn
the name Of the Seattle firm which
will do the development work, and
even the men on the Job do not know.
But we have 1t on authoritive informa-
ton that this company has secured op-
tions on the Martindale property and
other land in that section, in all about
80 acres, extending from the water
front to Road No. 274, Maury Center.
The company has signed up with the
Puget Sound Power and Light Com
pany for six hundred horse power of
electricity. A company that contracts,
for that much power surely intends to
get down to real business. The power
company have begun construction on
their lines to supply the power.
The old Vashon Sand and Gravel
Company existed about 20 years and
due to financial difficulties, abandoned
operations. Their property now held
by the Seattle concern, adjoins the,
old Raeco Products Company land.

ACTIVITIES AGAINST THE WHITE
PLAGUE EXTEND TO MANY
SUSPICIOUS CASES

That the interest of the general
public in tuberculosis prevention is
constantly increasing is the firm con-
viction of Mrs. Bethesda Beals Bu-
chanan executive secretary Washing
ton tuberculosis Association.
I'm our diagnostic chest clinics,
which are held in counties having a
county tuberculosis nurse but no SAN
atorium, the type of case coming for
examination is very different from
those which came several years ago.,
said Mrs. Buchanan. Now, the early
or suspicious case outnumbers those
with the disease farther eadvanced.
This is partly due to the work of the
county tuberculosis nurses under whose
direction the clinics are held in the
various counties, but the constantly
increasing knowledge of the public
about the disease through the various
channels of publicity is also q factor
in getting the beginning case to the
clinic.
"Dr. Leslie P. Anderson. who has
recently Joined the staff of the As
sociation as chest diagnostician, Is
enthusiastic over the plan reaching
young people of high school age since
statistics show that deaths from
tuberculosis are not materially de-
creasing in that age period.
LAS result of the wide spread edu-
catio- al campaign about tuberculosis,
young people in general are beginning
to take an interest in their own con-
dition and the outlook for the coming
years work is. most encouraging"
DR.. Anderson has had several years
clinical experience including x-ray and
laboratory In well known sanatorium
in the east. The clinic serfice In
Washington is sponsored In the fari-
Gus counties by the local tuperculosis
league and supported by the sale Of
the tuberculosis Christmas Seals. The
sale this year begins Nofember 2sth.

BOND ELECTION TO BE HELD
OCTOBER 20

The notices have been posted, and on
Saturday, October 26 the people Of the
Island will again be called upon to
vote for or against the bonds that will
make possible our new high school.
Contrary to current rumor 1t will
be necessary for three-fifths of those
voting to be in favor of the PROPOSE
ton, rather than three -fifths of the
voters of the Island.
While 1t is evident that the majority
are in favor of the new high school
it will be necessary for all interested
to make the effort and get out and
express themselves. Many an i'm
portant issue has failed from over
confidence.
The voting will take place at the
Center school, the school buses will
convey all desiring transportation. so
there is really no reason for failure to
vote. In latter issue of the News
Record the schedule will be announced.

GARNER K1MMEL REscuEs BOY

cries that seemed to come from the

could see a human figure afloat on
some object out in the waves.
AS there was no man available at
cedarhurst that hour of the day Mrs.
Mccormick and Mrs. Kimmel decided

help from Vashon, so Mr.. Klmmel was

water about three hours, the day was
chilly and the waves breaking over
him were chillier, so needless to say

PETITION
FOR West ;'' SIDE |||l Bus
in SEATTLE MONDAY
Vashon Island Auto Transportation Co.
Attempting to Extend Service
To the West Side

In 1922 the Vashon Island Transpor-
tation Company was incorporated to
furnish passenger and express service
on the Island between Burton and
Vashon. From few open passenger
autos the company has expanded until
now the people Of Vashon Island are
furnished transportation at regular in
tervals across the length OF the Island
that are credit to all. Now In keep
ing with their progressive spirit, this
company is attempting to expand and
help develop our community by giving
service during the summer months a.
long the West Side. Application has
been made to the Department. OF Pub
lie Works at Olympia for a certificate
Of Public Convenience and Necessity to
operate a stage line between Table
quah and vashon Heights during the
summer months. We understand that
the Vashon Island Transportation
Company considers this more or less
of an experiment with the idea that
by first operating during the summer
months this part Of the Island would
go forward with the result that the
service would be increased both as to
the number Of trips per day and the
months of service.
The Department at Olympia has re-
ceived protest from the West Pass
Transportation Company. operators of
the boat on the West Side, and the en-
tire matter has been set down for
hearing on October IA, (Monday next
at ten o'clock A. M. at the Chamber of
Commerce in Seattle.
The matter of granting or refusing
this certificate, we understand, will be
decided by the Department in accord
ance to the wishes Of the people inter-
ested, and it is to be hoped that all
who appreciate the value of this addi- /
tional service to our Island Will make
1t point to be present at this hearing
and give support to this progressive
move being made by this company
