Editors Enjoy
Island Outing

On last Saturday afternoon and eve
ming members of Group No. 8 of the
Washington Press Association were
entertained by the Vashon Business
Mems Club.
The members who arrived on the
/ o'clock boat were taken to the golf
course by President w. D. Clark and
enjoyed 10 holes of golf. Having been
warned that the course was a sporty
one, and that it would require good
craftsmanship to smile about the
Unbelievable" balls, even Ed Fitz-
harris, of the South Tacoma Star
could still smile over the six balls he
lost during the afternoons playing.
The other golfers were Fred Kenndy,
field manager for the Association;
John Ried, of the University Publish
ing Company; H. w. Mason, of the
Seattle Community Newspaper, and
Nifty" Garrett, of the Sumner
Standard.
Those who visited the golf course
were well pleased with its possibilities,
and considered that it was in excellent
condition for such a new course
Aside from "lost" balls there was
nothing to mar the afternoon, and by
dusk the players were all ready for the
country dinner that had been
promised them.
Judge and Mrs August Toellner, Of
the Duwamish News, spent the day
driving over the Island and visiting
friends.
The evening boat brought second
delegation, and the two groups met
at the Island Cottage Inn, and did full
justice to the good dinner ready for
them. The tables were decorated with
spring flowers, and at each place was
a folder, with one of Norman Edson's
paintings, that particularly delighted
the guests After dinner a short time
was spent in informal talks, and an
exchange of good stories. Mrs. Smock
introduced the president of the Bust
ness Mems Club, w. D. Clark, who in
his usual happy manner welcomed the
visitors to the Island, and promised
them another party in the future, a
promise he will no doubt be reminded
of. At the conclusion of his remarks
he introduced the other representa-
tives of the club, DR.. McMurray,
Howard Hansen and DR.. Coutts. The
group chairman, John Heitzman, John
Reid and Fred Kennedy, expressed the
appreciation of the group for the
hospitality that had been shown, after
which each visitor introduced himself,
telling the name of the publication he
represented.
After passing cigars for the men,
and candy for the ladies, Tim" en-
cused the representatives of the Busi-
ness Mems Club on the plea of previ-
GUS engagements
After a business session there was
still time for general discussion of
common problems that was vastly in
teresting and enlightening to the edi-
tors present. John Reid told of a
number of amusing incidents that oc-
Cured while he was editing paper
on the Island, number of years ago.

lar problems.
