Maiden Trip OF New
Ferry Vashon Was
Planned For Today

It was anticipated that the first trip
of the new ferry vashon would be
made some time today, but up to the
time Of going to press the boat had
not landed on the Island.
Beyond doubt, however, the new
ferry will be in use to handle the
Memorial Day crowds of tourists.
On Sunday new schedule is slated
that will supplement the present one,
giving hourly service to Fauntleroy on
Sundays and holidays.
While this mornings P-I states that
the new ferry was made necessary be-
cause of increased travel on the PEN
insula, Capt. Anderson has made the
statement on various occasions that
the new ferry was necessary because
of the heavy traffic to Vashon Islend
during the summer months. This, of
course Is what the loyal Islanders be-
lieve. Be that as it may we are indeed
fortunate to have this fine new boat.
and hope that the business during its
first season will justify its construc-
ton. for the more bushes sthe Kitsap
County Transportation Company has,
the more our Island will prosper.

4 To the cold blooded observer 1t
would seem that all Of this COM
ment were unnecessary; thai the
most casual thinker would see the
fallacy Of dealing With these people
who have no permanent connec-
ton with our community, but each
season they reap a harvest, right
here In a community with more
intelligent, thinking people to the
square mile than any other COM
munity in the world. Isn't it about
time they met with little dis
couragement2 If we were to
adopt the iron-clad rule of ex-
planning to them gently, but firmly
that va "pick where We scratch"
1t would not he long until we
would have very few Of these front
door statesmen. There is an under
ground method by. which the in
formation that we are easymarks
is spread through such circles.
Let's "fool EN- and prove that
when we buy we will do so through
legitimate channels: through the
home merchants who stand back
Of everything they sell; who ex-
tend US credit when we need it,
and who are permanent fixtures,
working with us in building UP
our community.

HIS i &EWSLA1E EN- MANI DE gNSASA1
BUT NOT ABUSED
One of our especial antipathies
is to going 10 church and hearing

that the editor that does that same
thing should be shot at sunrise.
We are not scolding, Just simply
publishing q little bill Of rights.
Until one; has been connected
with q country newspaper they
cannot possibly know OF the COM
bination Of tact and hard
boiledness that is necessary to
carry on. Everyone that has .
request or demand to make Of the
local sheet feels that his rights are
supreme in this particular In
stance. forgetting that what she
or he may want to say would not
be fair to someone elsa We like
to be agreeable, but we simply
cannot be q party to helping come
one "get even"
We have had several unhappy
times in trying to put the idea
across that we cannot allow any
organization to monopolize more
than their share Of space. We are
friendly; TO the churches, and do
not want TO do, as 50 many
country papers have done, to cut
out the church notices entirely.
hence we have asked the pastors
get their church notices In such
shape that they will require only
q minimum Of change each week.
Several have complied With this
request, while others have dis
regarded our request and mounted
their high horse when their items
did not appear Just exactly as they
we're sent In. IT rs ALWAYS
THE PRIVILEGE OF THE EDI-
TOR OF A PAPER TO BLUE
PENCIL ANYTHING IN THE Ma
TURE OF NEWS THAT COMES
TO THE OFFICE. We have ex-
ercised that privilege q few times
In the past, and the only criticism
we have ever had was from those
connected with the churches. Keep
your News-R Records for a month,
then measure up the space &C.
corded to the churches What
would be the result II any other
single element In the community

We are here, a part Of the COM
muntty trying our little best to

ask for only our share Of the.
legitimate business that should
come to us through advertising

One Of our local merchants carries

Is therefore agent for both. Each
year, through him this same naga-

better than the itinerant agent was

A STEP m THE RIGHT DIRECTION

This week plans were practical
ly completed for the formation of a
Vashon Island Credit Association.
This step has been made necessary
by the few undesirables who do
not have proper regard, and
realization Of just what credit
really means. Our merchants
have extended credit, in the mean
time having to meet the bills for
goods sold, and have had their
kindness abused until In self de-
tense they are forced to take a
united stand on refusing further
credit to those who are habitually
delinquent. II present plans are
carried out they will use the same
credit system as used by the city
stores.
Recently we saw in an exchange,
4 an ad Of o hardware store. 1t was
list Of some forty or fifty articles
for sale in that particular store
that were being sold as regulars,
not as leaders or specials. that
were the same brand and quality
as those advertised by q we'll
known mail order house, and at
from five to fifty cents below the
catalog price. This week we per-
sonally knew of an instance Of o
customer buying draperies through
q local store and saving five cents
q yard on the price quoted by a
certain mail order house.
These may be small amounts we
arc quoting, but when we take
into consideration Our obligation
to those who serve us from day
to day ought we not to be glad
when performance of our natural
duty nets us even O small material

NEAR ACCIDENT AT vAsHos

- Il =
i Quite q number, who witnessed the
soccurance that SO easily might have
resulted tragicaliy on Thursday morn
ing In vashon are wondering what kind
Providence spared the life Of one Of our
young men.
With the breaking OF the cable
which elevates the SCOOP Of the big
concrete mixer, It released the SCOOP,
with its load Of gravel. sand and con-
crete. and as It fell fairly grazed the
clothing Of Bob Poirson, who was bend
Ing over, scraping up around from
where the scoop had been raised. Had
he been a few Inches to one side. there
is no doubt that lie would have beer
fatally injured.
AS It was no one was hurt, except
the feelings Of the ones interested in
getting the paving finished before
Memorial Day.
The gravel mixer, Of an Anticipated
type, has given trouble from the first
although 1t undoubtedly has affordet
the best means at hand Of mixing The
concrete. Apparently the fates hays
been against a speedy completion o!
this work, but 1t will surely be finish
ed by the end Of this week, and vii
, be vast improvement to the village
of vashon.

As Mrs. Olive Roberts was driving
through vashon last Saturday, with q
car full Of guests, the back wheels Of
her car ran over some Of the paving

cross piece penetrated the back and
top Of the car, missing, by only a few
inches the head Of one Of the pas
sengers.
