new VASaON FERRY TO
Be DELIVERED May "a

In last weeks issue we announced
btiefly the news of the fine new ferry
soon to be built for the Vashon-Seattle
run, contract for which was let by
Captain John L. Anderson to the
Lake Washington Shipyards last
Thursday, The boat will be chartered
to the Kitsap County Transportation
Company.
The new ferry. which will be named
the Vashon, will be of the double
variety, 200 feet long, 57A feet beam
and II feet deepth of hull, and will be
propelled by a Washington Iron Works
1000 horsepower Diesel engine, eight
cylinder, with Is by "a stroke.
The vashon will be the largest ferry
In the world to be propelled by a single
engine, with clutch system at each end,
the shipyards claims. All
The Vashon will cost 100000. and
the contract calls for delivery on May
"a. She will carry ninety cars and
$500 passengers.
The vashon is the third ferry to be
built at the Lake Washington Ship
yards in four years for the Kitsap
County Transportation Company fleet.
It is similar in plan to the ferry Balm
bridge, which IL supplants as the larg-
est of the Kitsap fleet of seven ferries
in the Sound service.

County Surveyors at Work
On The Island

For more than two weeks surveyors
from the county engineers office have
been at work on the Island. While
these men are not at liberty to give
information as to the why's and where
fores Of their work we can draw our
own conclusions.
The need for an adequate parking
place at the North End is imperatie
The manner in which cars are now
parked just off of the pavement is a
menace The News Record was given
the impression at the time parking on
the dock was forbidden that the county
owned property adjacent to the dock
that would at once be converted into
a parking place for those leaving their
cars. While a crew of surveyors at
work makes us all hopeful it doesn't
provide much space upon which to
park.
In the village OF vasl,on it is to be
hoped that some arrangement for
drainage will be made. During the
recent thaw water stood in the streets
to such depth that automobiles COM
ing down the pavement gave the effect
of speed boats. The garage of the bus
company was completely flooded Sure
" it would not be a difficult feat to
arrange drains SO that this would not
be the state Of affairs whenever a
little more than the normal amount of
moisture falls.
At Burton arrangements are being
made for taking care of a crew which
is to re-survey the beach road west
Of Burton. We are informed that
actual work on the project will COM
mence as soon as the survey is COM
pleted.
If this road is rebuilt let us hope
that the result will be more satisfactory
than the former attempt, which stands
today as monument to folly and poor
Judgment. From the performances of
the past several months in road build
ing on the Island it would seem that
the present regime will give us real
results. Burton is entitled to this con-
nection with the south end, and should
be placed on a north and south end
highway. Every mile of waterfront
road that can be added to our roads
makes the whole Island just that much
more attractive to the summer tourists
One Of the prettiest bits Of road on our
entire Island is in a shameful con-
dition, the Mileta road, around the
east end of Quartermaster tlarbor. This
like the proposed Burton road, can not
be surpassed for scenic beauty.

Don't forget that there is to be a
basketball game next Tuesday even
ing between the local high school
team, and what is said to be the fast
est team they have yet encountered.
Our boys have gone through the sea-
son undefeated but if they can defeat
Eatonyille they feel that they will have
the right to feel pretty good. We have
been told that this team practices
basketball from the day school opens
until it closes in the spring. so they
should be good players.
Local fans are not worrying over the
outcome of the game, however. and the
team is not letting worry interrupt
their regular schedule Of practice.
A preliminary game will be played
between our girls team and Harper, so
there is q double reason for all in
terested in our high school to turn out.

Woman's Club Card Party
Will Be Delightful Affair

On next Tuesday evening, February
Ii, the ladies of the Vashon Island
woman's Club will stage their annual
library benefit at the Masonic Hail.,
Burton.
The tickets, placed on sale several
days ago, are going rapidly, showing
that the public expect a real treat
whenever one of these affairs are
announced.
4 The committee in charge promise
that this years benefit will be no ex-
ception. The decorations will provide
the proper setting for an evening OF
both bridge and 500, while the unique
prizes will amply reward the most
fortunate and skillful players. Since
the culinary skill Of the members is SO
well known it is needless to say that
the refreshments will be not only
delicious, but unusual, as we'll.
In short, all evidence indicates that
this will be one of the most delight
full social affairs of the entire winter.
The funds realized will be spent i'll
the various expenses of the library,
maintained by the Vashon leland
Womens Club at Burton, for the bene-
fit of the entire Island. Starting with
Just few volumes the library has
grown amazingly, by Che unaided eff
forts of this group Of women. During
the year they ask no assistance from
the patrons of the library, feeling that
the support accorded their annual
benefits is enough.
The committee has asked us to an
nounce that since several who have
purchased tickets for the party Tues
day evening will want to attend the
basketball game they will time the
serving Of refreshments to suit the
fans who prefer basketball to bridge.

trict attorney.
The Government is planning to
rush its case against the gang
leader to the Federal grand jury,

lar reference 10 their loyal friend ships and other distinctive qualities. Ten plays will be taken mp and their stories told. including Othello, Romeo and Juliet. As You Like It, The Merchant of Venice, The Com ody of Errors, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Henry Y. Scenes from five or six Of these will be acted in costume by Mrs Hale and her daughter. The acting is select ed to illustrate in entertaining fashion the points covered in Mrs. Hale's lecture.
 Mrs. Forbes-Robertson Hale has won distinction as an actress. au- thor and lecturer both in England and America and has added 10 the fame Of a family already illustrious in the arts.
