I have introduced in the House
a bill calling for the expendi-
ture of $1,000, 100000 for the
building Of a gigantic highway
system that 1 think is the most
carefully considered project of
its kind yet presented.
The idea belongs primarily to
Arthur S. Baldwin, of STRAIT

To him should be given full
credit.
Financed by Tolls
It calls for 14,300 miles Of

Meeting three running North

The remarkable feature of
this plan is that the sum would
be raised without Government

ed Its first defeat Of the season at the
hands OF Bremerton last Friday. The
score Of the first team game was
25-ls, and the second team game was

NO NIGHT SCHOOL THIS WINTER

Last Thursday evening meeting
was held at the high school for en-
rollment In night school classes. Only
10 persons were present. There were
requests for so many different SUBJ
jects that 1t was impossible with such
a small enrolment, and so little
revenue to attempt to have the night
school. There were few who were
not present who had expressed an in
terest, but even with those added
there would still not be enough to
warrant The expense involved.
The committee regrets that the
night school cannot go on this year,
for the members feel that last winter
it proved distinct asset. However,
they realize that the unusual state of
affairs has great deal to do with
the present attitude of the Island
people.
An interest is being expressed in Or
ganizing a class in athletics. Anyone
interested In this class should get in
touch with Mr.. Bankhead, at the high
school, or Don Thompson.

25th Anniversary
Celebrated Saturday

On last Saturday, january 9th, Mr..
and Mrs. F. A. Weiss celebrated their
25th anniversary Of their wedding,
with q dinner at which ten members
OF the family were present. Bob, their
youngest son, who Is attending school
at Pullman, was unable to be present.
This was the only flaw in the happy
occasion. Two sisters of Mrs. Weiss,
Miss Anna Woods, of Seattle, and Mrs.
Emma McMurray, of Langdon, North
Dakota, were present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weiss have been resi-
dents of Vashon since 1909, when they
arrived here from North Dakota. Prac-
tically all Of that time Mr.. Weiss has
been In the mercantile business. They
have reared and educated three fine
children, and have given them the adj
vantage of good home, and Thought
full care. Although Mr.. and Mrs.
Weiss have had many outside de-
mands made Of them their family has
always been their primary consider
alton. Their daughter, Mrs. Barney
Rindal, lives at Port Orchard while
the two sons, Clarence and Bob are
still in college.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Weiss are
prominent in Masonic and Eastern
Star circles, and have served these
organizations in various offices. Until
the Ill health of Mrs. Weiss, more than
a year ago made it necessary to give
up such activities, they have been
hard workers in the Vashon Methodist
church, singing in the choir, and fill
ing offices in the church and its allied
organizations. They have helped in
all causes for the betterment of
vashon for the past twenty-three
years, and the News Record feels that
1t is uttering the sentiment of many
of its readers in hoping that Mr.. and
Mrs. Weiss will still be here, noting
nothing but changes for the better,
when they celebrate their golden we'd
ding twenty-five years hence.

Those selling tickets for the Three
Wise Fools, the play to be given by
members Of the golf club Saturday
night, report that many refused to
buy tickets Just because they had been
unable to hear other plays given in
