OUR STORY HAD TO WAIT

Just because the line Continued in a
later edition-was omitted last week
from the story Of the building going
on on the Island we were reminded
almost thousand times that we had
forgotten to tell of several other houses
under construction. We intended get
ting the rest of that story in this issue,
but the space was needed for several
stories that couldn't wait, so we sup
pose well be hearing for another week
about our sins Of omission. We are
almost case-hardened though, for no
matter what other virtue the average
vashon business man may have saving
feelings isn't one of them. AS to our
error concerning who is to blame for
two Of the new houses previously re-
corded we claim that Mr.. j. r. Jensen
is to blame. That man, while he is one
of the worlds best carpenters, de-
liberately deceived us with his char
acteristic retiring refusal to advertise
himself. What he needs a publicity
agent, for he won't give himself any.
We apologize.

through the columns Of our paper, but
is always has been the policy of the

entirely contrary to general ethics, and
we do not intend to depart from the
rule we have consistently followed. So

FORMER ISLAND MAN AIDING TO
DEFEAT POWER BILL

One of the cleverest and most valu-
able aids being given for the defeat OF
Initiative No. l, the District Power Bill,
originated in the brilliant mind Of
Edwin Selvin, editor of the Business
Chronicle, published in Seattle. Mr..
selvin was for several years an Island
resident.
In each issue Of october Mr.. Selvin
has written his, own editorial opinion
OF various phases of this bill, then has
followed this up with the editorial
opinion of publishers from all over
the state.
The News-Record is indebted to Mr..
Selvin for a number of copies of these
numbers of the Chronicle which are
being loaned to those interested in
informing themselves further on the
question of this bill.

To the Teachers and Pupils Of the
Island Grammar Schools


Several weeks ago Mrs. Bess Godsey
appointed school reporter and has
been assisting in sending in, each week,
brief news items. We wauld be glad
to receive similar items each week
from the other grammar schools on the
Island
While this may seem to be simply
an added burden, and hardly worth
the bother it would be to us older ones
the News Record feels that news from
the various grammar schools would
create enough interest to be worth the
time and trouble involved.
This news could be collected over
the entire week, and mailed In on
Saturday. Although this would mean
that occasionally items would be a bit
stale, it would seem that the plan
would work out better in this manner,
with the added advantage of our being
able to get this matter set up before
the heaviest part of the weeks work.

Big GAME OCTOBER 81
Star Back May be on Bench With
Injury That May Keep Him Entirely
Out of Competition. Chances of
Victory Over Buckley Very Good.
Game Set for October 3lst.

A determined team turned out for
practice last Tuesday after school the
last turnout for the past week owing to
the vacation the last two days. The
cause of the determination was the
coming Buckley game.
Although Vashon is not faring so we'll
in their class A league campaign, they
are determined to take Buckley's scalp.
Football relationship was opened be-
tween the two schools last season when
Vashon defeated their rival by q 70 to
n count. Later in the season, they
met again at Buckeyes ground. From
this game Vashon returned on the
short end of 10 to count.
The two teams seem to be about
evenly matched and both will be fight
ing hard to gain the advantage in the
number of games won.
The spirit Of the Vashon team is
high, they intend to down Buckley
even if they close call their contests.
Coach Schunkes main worries are
in about two quarters:
1. Joe Green, flashy back, who had
his shoulder injured in the opening
game at Highline still has trouble. The
injured member may not be able to
take much part in the Buckley con-
test.
2. The line has not been holding
with the consistency that it should.
This latter deficiency has been get
/ ting less in each game and will prob
ably be fairly well ironed out by game
time.
Coach Schunke drove his team
through signal drill and light scrim-
mage this week in preparation for the
coming event.
One reason why the team did not
dc better against Enumclaw was be-
cause the fans did not turn out to
root for them! Let's make this Buckley
game of October 81, an all Island
affair. Turn out and yell your head
off for Vashon. A team cannot play
its best without support. Let's all go.
Schedule is as follows: October %,
Vashon at Re.lton; October 81, Buck
ley at Vashcn; November Z, Puyallup
at vashon; November IA, vashon at
Auburn; November 81, Sumner at
