Rate Reduction
Benefits islanders

Important rate reductions, recently
announced by the Puget Sound Power
g. Light Company, are estimated to
mean benefits Of 100000 year to
the company's customers, according to
figures compiled by Frank McLaugh-
lin, president.
with the reading OF meters on and
after the 10th of this. month, all our
regular power customers west of the
Cascade Divide will receive bills for
their previous months power service
at the uniform rate of 4c per kilowatt
hour for the first 100 hours use of the
demand. and 1c for the excess" was
Mr.. McLaughlin's statement. I'm the
case of 81 horsepower loads and over,
a demand discount is applied, depend
ing on the size of the load.
I'm many cases this will make eff
fective a reduction of half cent per
kilowatt hour, or II percent, and in
some cases reduction of 1c a kilo-
watt hour, or 20 percent, on the pri-
mary kilowatt hours.
1.-THE new rate was filed with the
Department of Public Works on
October Z, under the new simplified
tariff which the company has just set
up, namely Tariff No. L.
THE new residence service rate will
become effective January first, and
the commercial lighting service rate
will become effective March first.
These rates also will be filed under
Tariff No. l.
1.-The new power rate makes avail
able to the farmer and to the ordi-
nary power user, electric power under
the same rate that in the past has
been available only to the manufac-
turer in the city.
1.-THE price at which the farmer in
this territory is receiving service is
exceptionally low. For the year end
ing September 30, the average cost Of
all electricity to our $4,000 farm Gus
toners was less than SC per kilowatt
hours, the exact figure being 2.S9c. AS
the use of electricity on the farm is
extended the average unit cost will
automatically go down still further,
as all of the company's rates are de-
signed to give the user additional SER
vice at q lower price"

Cast OF School Play
Consists Of Women Only

Rehearsals are well under way for
the play to be given Friday evening,
November goth at the Vashon gram
mar school under the auspices of the
P. T. A.
The play MAS and Pas Family
Album" is as funny a play as could
well be imagined for production by
amateurs. All of the parts are taken
by women, although all of the women
will not appear in female garb. And
another feature, almost unbelievable,
is that only two of the characters say
a word, but those two do plenty Of
talking for the entire cast.
In addition to the play several other
numbers will be presented by pupils,
present and past. The dance given by
Gretchen Yoshimura that was fea-
ture of the high school carnival will
be repeated, as well as other numbers
equally entertaining.
The funds realized from this pla,
will be used to purchase equipment
for the playground, heating the gym
nasium, providing hot lunches and
milk for undernourished children, OF
any other manner in which the schoo
may seem to need most.
A very small admission charge Il
being made for this play, and THU
fact coupled with the good entertain
ment assured and the worthy cause FOL
which it is being given promises full
house.

Jean Slagle suffered the fracture OF
the little finger on her right hand at
school last week, while protecting her
face from ball thrown at her by one
Of the boys attending the vashon

At first 1t was believed that the
finger was merely sprained, but an ex-
animation by DR.. McMurray disclosed
the fact that it was badly fractured.
He reduced the fracture and the bone

Vashon In Third
Defeat OF Season

The Vashon high school football
team lost their third game of the sea-
son to Bremerton, Saturday last. The
final score was &c to 6 in favor of
Bremerton.
The Island grid men did not have
the dash and fight that had char
acterized the Poulsbo, Silverdale and
cambridge games. It was dull, I'M
interesting game throughout, with
Bremerton having the advantage all
the way through.
The one interesting part of the
game came when Bremerton
pass was blocked. The ball fell int
the hands of Paul Pettelle, who DASH
ed down the field for the only vashon
count.
vashon week ago was beaten by
Moran at cambridge 60. The touch
down was made in the last quarter
This was a second team game. A re-
turn game will be played Friday the

IT SURELY PAYS TO ADVERTISE.


Last week the Sweet Shop ran a
little ad, telling the people Of the Is
land that their special would be a
Sunday chicken dinner at an attrac-
tive price. The result was that they
were simply deluged with hungry
folk, all craving chicken dinners. The
experiment was so successful that they
decided to have the same special this
coming Sunday, and there isn't
doubt but that the results will be just
as successful, and that they will again
have full house, after the splendid
dinner they were served last Sunday,
combined with a News-Record ad.

RED Cross Drive
November IA To Is

Although there is not on the Island
any Red Cross organization, many Is
land residents desire to pay their
dollar membership, and thus help to
carry on work they feel eminently
useful.
Prof. F. M. Robertson has been
placed in charge Of the work for the
Island, and has appointed on his COM
mittee Howard H. Hansen, for Vashon
and Vashon Heights; Ralph Towne
for the West Side; j. F. Shaw, for
Burton and the South End; r. w. F.
Martin, for Ellisport and Portage: E.
H. Miller, for Maury- Center; Mrs.
Tate, for Dockton; A. H. Johnson, for
Paradise Valley, while Mr.. Robertson
will take Center as his own territory.
A house to house canvass will be
started on Saturday. High school
girls, in cars furnished by the dis
trict representatives, will call on every
Island resident giving them the OPP
portunity to join the Red Cross if
they so desire. The girls will wear the
regulation Red Cross cap such as is
being worn by membership solicitors
all over the country in this nation
wide campaign. Those who are not
called on Saturday may expect call
from the girls up until Wednesday,
by which time 1t is hoped the work
will be completed.
There is to be no high pressure
effort made to induce Island people
to join the Red Cross, but it is hoped
that when all possible memberships
are finally taken that the Island
showing will be creditable.
Closing fifty years of service TO
humanity the aim of the national Red
Cross Association is to make the
membership greater this year than it
has ever been before.

Systematic Relief
Work Is Needed

1t has been automatically reported
that ther are several cases Of real
suffering in Island homes for lack of
the necessities of life. In every case
there are little children, who regard
less of what their parents may or may
not have done should be cared for.
Lack of sympathy for the parents does
not mitigate the fact that the children
are not to blame If they are hungry
and cold, and 1t will be a terrific re-
Election on our community If "one of
the least Of these" should suffer from
privations which the rest of us, out
of our plenty, could relieve.
At a recent meeting of the COM
mercial Club committee was ap-
pointed to take care of the cases OF
need anticipated during the winter.
The chairman OF this committee is w.
D. Garvin, and 1t is needless to say
that there could not be found anyone
better fitted. Mr.. Garvin, through his
office as deputy assessor knows every
home on the Island and in general
the conditions In these homes. His
common sense and good judgment
makes him capable Of Judging. His
unfailing tact and kindness makes 1t
easier for one to accept temporary as
sistance from him than from almost
any other local person. Although
burdened with enough responsibilities
for the average man or woman Mr..
Garvin has undertaken this relief
work. Out of justice to him he should
receive the cooperation of the whole
Island.
In the past the community has had
instances of needy families that were
really injured by indiscriminate giving.
One family, in need of clothes, through

GENERAL All MEETING.

On Saturday afternoon, November
%, there will be a general meeting at
the Scout Cabin, Of all boys and girls
wishing to enroll in All work for the
coming year. There will be agricul-
tural work for the boys, cooking and
canning for the older girls, sewing and
cooking for the younger girls. Par
ents interested In this work should
keep this date In mind, and remind
their children to be present at this
meeting.

CONDITION PRACTICALLY SAME

Reports received as we go to press
indicate that the condition Of jack
son Corbet remains practically the
same as last week.
Although there is little change from
day to day the doctor in charge will
make no prophesy as to when MI.
Corbet will be out Of the hospital,
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1931-11-12

the sympathetic giving of the Island
people received more clothes than
twice the number Of children could
have used.
In the present cases one family
needs fuel. There is a small baby
which will no doubt fail to survive the
winter unless there is q way provided
to heat the home. This family prob
ably will be able to get food enough
to eat. In other cases there are small
children who are suffering for lack
of nourishing food. Practically every
case is one where under normal con-
ditions the father would have been
able to provide. 1t is unfair that these
children be allowed to suffer for the
substantial food that is the birthright
of childhood.
If you have potatoes, carrots, apples,
onions, or any fruit or vegetables that
you can possibly spare get in touch
with Mr.. Garvin and he will see that
it performs mission of relief. Lack
ing these, send any amount of money
you can spare, regardless of how small
it may be. These are abnormal times,
and it would not be logical that the
Island could be so fortunate as to
escape cases of restitution.
And it will surely be more satisfac-
tory to work Systematically and know
that our giving will avail something
rather than to embarrass and humi-
late those we are trying to help
through indiscriminate giving. Thru
the experience of raising family, Mr..
Garvin will prove a fine arbiter in the
matter of distribution Of foods avail
able, and it is food that is needed
now, not fine sentiments about our
duty to our fellowmen, or condem-
nation of their shortcomings.
