Purchases Stock
OF Local Hatchery

A concrete example of their faith in
the poultry industry on Vashon Island
was evidenced by transaction re-
Gently completed between England g.
Petersen and the Vashon Island Co.
operative Hatchery, whereby the
former will purchase the surplus of
the latter. In this manner breeders
will be given an opportunity to dis
pose of their eggs, the hatchery will
be kept operating for possibly six
weeks longer than would otherwise
have been possible, and supply of
fine pullets will be available to poul-
trymen next fall who are now
financially unable to purchase and
raise baby chicks. These chicks sup
piled to England g. Petersen will be
raised by Alfred Norkett in his large
brooder plant in Paradise Valley, and
sold to customers at practically the
cost of raising.
Reports from Western Washington
show that the number of chicks raised
this year will not exceed 80 percent
of last year. So far, reports from
other parts of the United States show
a reduction of 40 percent to 80 per-
cent of the number of chicks being
produced Under these conditions, 1t
is anticipated that the egg market
will be reasonably satisfactory next
autumn and early winter. Their
intimate knowledge of the industry
has enabled England g. Petersen to
see that lack of new stock will keep
the local egg production far below
normal, and prolong the hardships of
the poultrymen They feel that in
providing this means of replenishing
the flocks of poultrymen who have
weathered the present conditions will
be of benefit to the entire Island. This
chance to dispose of the eggs of
breeding flocks at the present time
means much to the breeders who have
specially fed and prepared their stock
in anticipation of a good season this
year. Had 1t not been for this trans
action many of these eggs from high
pedigreed birds would have to have
been sold at the low price now pre-
vailing.
Thus the consideration for the in
dustry by this local firm will have
far-reaching results, and do much to
hasten the return of prosperity to the
Islands most important industry.

L.Y. Williams Sends
Message To Island

The following letter received this
week from L. Y. Williams, one Of the
Islands best friends in the Legisla-
ture, is self-explanatory, and we take
pleasure in passing it on to our read
ers, just as Mr. Williams wrote to us,
rather than expressing his sentiments
in other words than his:
March Z, 1881
Editor, Vashon Island News,
Vashon Island, Washington.
My Dear Mrs. Smock:
I received so many communications
from my friends on Vashon Island
asking me to vote to pass the egg bill
over the Governors veto, that I am
not attempting to answer them each
one personally. You may answer
them for me, if you will, through the
papers.
1 not only supported the bill but l
voted to pass the bill over the Gov
errors Veto I am working with Mr.,
McK!nnon to get the bill through to
appropriate 100000 to take care of
the Vashon Island roads, though we
may get lost in the general rush of
the close of business
Thank you for past favors and If /
can be of service to the people of
Vashon Island, other than am now
doing, kindly advise me and I will do
all I can.
Very truly yours,
l.. Y. williams.

the annual election of officers occurs,
and the present officers will continue
to serve the coming year: President,
Mrs. Jessie LETTERS; vice-president,
Mrs. Matte Thompson; secretary,
Mrs, Ella Bailey and treasurer Mrs.
Iva Curtis.
AT the close of the session, the
guests adjourned to small tables, CEN
tired with candles, set in tiny stumps
of cherry trees. Delicious cherry pie
was feature, each piece topped with
whipped cream, Favors were small
hatchets. Flags were used, to further
carry out the patriotic thought, in
the decorations, Mrs. Robertson was

narrow margin Ct one vote.
The Lisabeula district also polled a
heavy vote. The issue which aroused
the unusual interest was the proposed

result was SO votes against consolida-
ton, while % voted favorably. This
Is the second time within year that
the proposed has been voted down by
the Lisabeula people.

candidates for director Otto Therkel-
sen was elected.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Making Choices.

According to approved psychological
doctrine, we possess a seemingly in
definite number or neural patterns"
or paths, along which we shift and re-
shift cur present and remembered ex-
perienceS. A neural pattern Is an in
ference; perhaps it's a fact. Anyway,
modern psychology says that q neu-
raj pattern is nerve path in the brain
tissue itself.
If we could see all these patterns or
paths, they would look like so many
tracks running into the railway yards
CT any large city. And we are always
contracting new paths for totally new
experiences.
Paths have q purpose. They carry
our ideas, which are nothing other than
generaliZed notions. It seems that we
get the habit of diSpatching these ideas
over appropriate or customary paths
The net result Is that we do not gen
orally make choices, but merely shift
a new idea over on the track We built
for the notions that look most like it..
This description may seem too me-
chanical for reasoning animal such as
man, but the plain fact Is that 1t fits
the human mechanism very well and
most cases makes for efficiency. For 1t
saves time and annoyance in all un-
important matters where elaboration
would finally make no difference
But still We do make choices. We do
so only when we are confronted with
some unusual situation. Figuratively
speaking, we look our system Of neu-
raj patterns over long enough to Try
to see just what would become Of the
new idea If we were to shift 1t to this
or that track. We are then merely
guessing, trusting to luck.

could qualify easily enough for pilots

Her interest in aviation dates back
several years to the time when an air
plane was a novelty to most people.
She was flying even then.
It, perhaps, was chiefly through her
efforts that her home city Of Lowell has
q place On the aviation map. That
city's airport and airplane manufacture
ing plant largely are the fruits OF her
endeavor. She christened the first
plane ever built in Lowell.
Mrs. Rogers congressional work is
devoted for the greater part to helping
World War veterans. She served over
seas in 1917 and for four years was
with the American Red Cross in charge
of disabled veterans.
Three Notwithstanding Coolidge
and Hoover-have made her their per-
sonal representative in the care of dis
abled veterans.
1t is under her guiding hand that
sweeping legislation for the future hos
pitaliZation needs of the Nations war
veterans is in process of formulation.
She conducted hearings on requests
for more than S30,000,000 for more
buildings, beds, diagnoStic clinics and
out-patient dispensaries for mentally
and physically ailing ex-soldiers.
A small woman, CHEEKY person with
crisply curling gray hair, she has a
sympathetic attitude for veterans needs
Mrs. Rogers came to Congress in
1925, elected to fill the vacancy in the
