Vashon Island School News

This Wednesday, October 90, Lincoln
High School of Tacoma will send its
football squad to meet Vashon Islands
team on Burton field at 800 D. m
This game will be the hardest game no
doubt we will play. Lincoln has a
champion team this year and it has a
long string of victories to it's credit
already.
Vashon Union High School suffered
its third football encounter Friday.
October ID, meeting its superior for
the first time. The game was lost to
Seattle College by a score of 2l-O.
Vashon was handicapped by the alb
sence of their old center and also by
the loss of Bill Smiths pep and ginger.
Bill played the entire game, neverthe-
less, with an injured knee. He was
unable to play as usual, but answered
to the coach's call for men. In spite
Of the fact that they were playing u
much heavier team and we're handi-
capped thus, everyone thought that
the boys played wonderful game.
The scores of Seattle College were due
to its superiority in passing.
Whee! Thursday and Friday of
this week, we, the busiest folks of the
Island, are going to forget all our
work (meaning school work. and take
a vacation. Of course, we will miss
hearing and seeing our beloved teach
ers, but since it is only for two days,
we won't let them interfer with our
fun. Our teachers are going to 20
through the annual grind of "The
Teachers Institute" on Thursday and
Friday but we know they will profit
by it and so will we.
The freshmen and sophomores of the
Burton branch of the high school
challenged the juniors and seniors to
a ticket sale campaign which was to
end at noon October 18. All the sales
were to be cash and the school getting
the largest percentage of sales was to
be treated with party by the losing
school. The upper classmen gallantly
took the challenge and immediately
appointed officers to sell the tickets.
At noon on the eighteenth when the
results OF the contest were announced.
She Burton branch had. a total sale |
of 81 per cent and the Vashon branch
Is Pc cent. The date has not been
set yet for the party, but the juniors

Buses to Carry Voters for
Bend Election Saturday

As has been pointed out repeatedly
the necessity is urgent for all those
favoring the bond issue, which is pre-
sented for the, vote Of the Island next
Saturday, to make an effort to get
out and express themselves.
The voting will take place at the
Center School, between the hours of
one and eight. In order to have
authority to issue these bonds there
must be three-fifths of thost voting, in
favor of the issue. In view of the
Importance of the matter the Island
should poll the heaviest vote in its
history.
Transportation will be provided for
all who have no means of getting to
the polls, SO that there will be no ex-
cuse for remaining at home on that
score. The school buses will make
regular trips, but If 1t is impossible to
take advantage of this there will be
private cars available. 1t is urged
however, that all avail themselves of
the buses If possible.
A telephone will be installed at the
Center school, so if the following
schedule is not plain information may
be had by calling Red ISL Saturday
afternoon.
Those havinty cars available Satur-
day afternoon should call Ira Thomp-
sons residence and inform him of the
fact.

TOWN FARM PUZZLE
 SOLUTION SOUGHT
Berlin Voters Pondering Ques- ton Of "TO Sell or Not To Sell"
USE AS PARK SUGGESTED
Others See 1t as Future school Site -GranSe Fair Opens Tonight Pierce Property Sold - sewing Club to Meet-Berlin Items.

To sell or not to sell is the prob lem facing the residents of Berlin regarding the town farm. Some time ago it was announced that the town farm might be sold, the matter to be decided at the annual town meet ing Monday. Since the issuance of that statement there have been soma aviation. some thinking. and a lot of questions as 10 why and Whcre- fore.
 It is argued that the town farm is centrally located and that in time it will be q valuable piece of proper ty. Others, slightly dubious as to future value. emphasize the time" element. It is known. however, that this is the only unused piece of property owned by the town outside of some 5 acres of land on Lamen- tation mountain, which is within the Meriden city limits It has been stated by one Berlin resident that towns throughout the state have parcels of land which they are re- timing for later use as parks. Der lin, if it were to sell this land, would be practically landless.
 It is thought by some that this
 Id may be used by the town ds location for a school if the consoli- dation of Kensington with New Brit ain takes place Tn the future. Some have claimed that the Worthington school could be enlarged in this cVentualty, but the state of Connect cut is reticent about allowing build in8s of such sort to be erected on the state highway.
 There are thirty acres of land halfway between Berlin and Ken sing, which, though not ideal for public buildings, border upon some other property that may be acquir- ed
 The old town farm isn't what il used to be, others chime in, saving It is disgrace for the town to be in possession of such old buildings rickety barns, woodsheds and so forth. But if the place is sold, an- other must be purchased for a place to store the town trucks. teams and other implements. No doubt the question will cause not little com ment at the town meeting, and it may be settled once and for all then.

 This is, above all else, an Ameri- can organization. It is true that we have among LIS tens of thousands that have come from other lands But they must have--and they must demOnstrate-an abiding faith in American principles, For the Eagles take very real pa ,1n that Ameri- canization movement whose object is to spread and to strengthen the gov crnmental and social ideals upon which this republic rests. Our work in social welfare and in political tiolds-indeed our very ritual itself is based upon American ideals.
 For Old Age Pensions
 'tertainly there is no movement that should make such a stirring ap- peal 10 the average man as that which would serve to do away with the worries and fears Of penniless and dependent old men and old women. To better this condition is no small problem Every primary nation on earth today is concerned with it's solution. Here is America, the Eagles for six years have been urging a plan whose principles have been accepted in the laws of six states and several Canadian prov- inces.
 "Old age pensions are certain to abolish the almshouse. Our old folk, are to receive such modest sums of money from the state as will let them, together with what they may, nave, live their remaining few years Tn mental and physical peace.-many of them, in their own humble homes. The poorhousc is destined to bcrome hideous dream of the past.
 50 far We have been gratifyingly successful in our efforts. Movements Such as this requiring funds and theIr intelligent disbursement, do not leap spoctacularly into favor The people must he educated to the acute nfod-and the wisdom-of such laws. Legislators must be induced to Elo.d 10 public sentiment Idcalism does not rapidly take root; and. for all ifs practical side, this is an ideal- lStic movement
 Yet olI age pensions in America are today 9 fact They are beyond the experimental stage. They are now heinz tried in sovereign states. and they are more than vindicating the claims of those that sponsor them. Indeed, many honest doubtcrs Of 'lVe years ago are now eloquent apostles of old age pensions. %
 Todoy, as leaders in such lerjsla- ton. are the states of Wisconsin. Nevada. Montana. Kentucky. Colo- rado, and Maryland, the territory of Alaska, and several provinces in the Dominion of Canada. Governors. in signing the bills have unstintedly given credit to the Fraternal Order CT Eagles, The pens used in signing the statutes are among the treasured possessions of our order. Our efforts will not ahate until every state in the union has on it's 9'"tu'e DOCKS such benign law.
