Bowling Invaders Take
Home the Bacon,

The bowling tournament at Skala's
Recreational Alleys on Sunday turned
out rather disastrous for the Ely
bowlers. While they won some of the
games by an appreciable score, the Ely
bowlers lost out in the tournament.
The first teams to open tournament
play were the American Legion and
the Ely Regulars. The Legion team
was composed of Nankervis, Cogliatti,
Larson, Poshak and Hendrickson. The
five rolled total of 1922 with Hen
erickson high man on a three-game
score of 594 Rolling for the Ely Regu-
lars were Lindbeck, Jenko, Skala,
Komatar and Mitchell. These five had
1880 pins to their credit in the three
games. Komatar was high man with
a score of 563. The Regulars won over
the Legion team with 158 pins.
The next match was between the
Hibbing aces and the Hanson Candy
team of Virginia. The aces were one
man short and Doug Nankervis was
pressed into service by consent of the
opponents and he came through by
rolling the high score of SIS in the
contest. On the Hibbing team were
Nankervis, Martinelli, Nord, Beasy and
Whyment. Their score was 2484. The
Hanson team was composed of Moose,
McCabe, Elias, Porky and Krussel.
This team had total score of 2465
with Krussell rolling the high score
of SIS for his team.
The final match of the contest was
between the winners in the previous
matches. The Hibbing Aces won this
contest with a total score of 1890.
They were opposed by the Ely Regulars
who were beaten by 46 pins and total
score of 2644
A consolation game after the toilrna-
ment between the Hibbing Aces and the
Hanson boys resulted in victory for
the Hibbing bowlers on score of 931
to 800.

Community Relief.

Several meetings have been regularly
held by the Executive Committee of the
Ely Relief Fund. Reports from the sew

fair condition so far and that the fund

Will Give Annual
Dance December Is

AT recent meeting the Vashon
Orthopedic Auxiliary decided upon
December 28th as the date for the
annual dance. Instead Of carrying
out the idea of several years past the
affair will be supper dance, in place
OF the cabaret dinner on New Years
evening.
Lack Of adequate facilities at the
high school for serving have made the
New Years eve dances so difficult that
1t was the general opinion that some-
thing different would be tried this
year.
This annual affair for raising money
for the Orthopedic hospital has proved
satisfactory, as it leaves the balance of
the year free for carrying on the regu-
lar work, with no necessity for money
making projects being worked out.
Each year enough has been realized to
meet the pledge OF the local auxiliary.

INCLEMENT WEATHER
INTERFERES WITH DINNER

The storm and rain of Tuesday eve
ming interfered with the patronage of
the waffle dinner given by the Pre-
School Association on last Tuesday
evening, and as a result only about
enough to meet expenses was realized.
Not discouraged this group is plan
ming to give another dinner at Burton
in the near future, when, it is to be
hoped, nothing will occur to interfere
with its success. These mothers, in
spired with desire to rear their chill
dren in accordance with the best
principles, are making brave effort
to increase the membership in their
circle and accumulate sufficient funds
to carry on the course of study they
are planning.

Turkey Shoot
On Golf Course

There will be turkey shoot at the
golf course next Sunday morning at
10 o'clock. No guns will be allowed
however, for the shooting is to be done
with little white pellets and the weap-
ons allowed are clubs, only. Members
will compete for a fine turkey for
Thanksgiving. The game will start
at 10 o'clock, sharp. Contestants will
play IS holes, medal play, with full
handicap. There will be one turkey
given for the lowest score.
at 40 In the afternoon ten turkeys
will be given as prizes. This tourna-
ment will be played on No. S, the per-
sons landing nearest the flag receiving
the turkey. While this feature of the
day will not consume the time that
the first tournament will. 1t will call
for the best effort Of the contestants
on their first shot, with no time to
retrieve their luck or skill later.
1t was announced this week that on
the Island course the green's fees had
been reduced from 81 to SO cents
which will no doubt tend to encourage
more to play.

Island Should Have
Garbage Dump

Complaints have come to this office
Of the unsightly appearance made by
having garbage dumped along our Is
land highways. Particularly notice
able in this respect are the Glen Acres
road where considerable amount of
trash has been dumped on either side
of the fill just east of the pavement,
and the old vashon Landing road,
where so much has been dumped down
the bank between the brick yard and
the old dock that 1t is running the
beach.
A county ordinance forbids dumping
Of trash or garbage along the high
ways, and signs have been posted along
the two above named roads, and while
the same persons, apparently, do not
continue to dump garbage after being
warned, others pay little attention to
the signs. The ordinance In regard
to garbage makes no provision for any
manner of disposal in the rural Sec
lions except by burylng or burning. The
cities have their dumps, and 1t would
seem that the county health officials
could find q spot on a territory as
large as the Island, which could be
designated as an Island dump, where
there would be no danger of pollution
of streams or springs, such as is now
the case In several instances.

Knights 7emplar
Drill Team Here

For the first time in Its history the
people of Vashon Island will have the
opportunity on Saturday evening, NO
vember 2sth, OF seeing drill on the
Island by one of the best drill teams
In the Northwest.
Three officers and twenty-four men,
accompanied by their own electrician
to arrange and engineer special light
ing effects, members of Seattle Com
mandery, No. 2, will appear at the
first annual ball Of Vashon Island
Commandery knights Templar. This
one feature would be worth the price
of admission.
In addition to this there will be an
evening of dancing and an enjoyable
evening in keeping with the holiday
spirit of the season.
All knights Templar attending this
ball will be dressed in uniform, and
1t is anticipated that there will be at
least 80 visiting Sir knights and their
ladies. No doubt this will be the most
unusual and prettiest balls ever held
on the Island.
Aside from the fact that members
Of the order will be in uniform the
dance will be entirely informal and
just another of those all-Island af-
fairs to which everyone is welcome
Since this dance is to become a
yearly affair members of Vashon Is
land Commandery are anxious to
make this, their first annual ball, a
huge success and are sparing no eff
fort toward that end.

DRUNKEN MAN ENTERS HOME.

Coming home from the waffle din
ner at the Island Club Tuesday eve
ming the McCrary family was startled
to find man asleep on the floor of
their living room. They had seen an
intoxicated man on the pavement as
they drove out of their driveway when
leaving home, and had laughingly re-
marked that it would be good joke
If he took possession of the house in
their absence. This he evidently did,
attracted by the lights they had left
burning.
While Mrs. McCrary was putting the
car in the garage on their return Mar
geurite went into the house and came
rushing out tot tell her mother and
sister that there was man lying on
the floor. Mrs. McCrary sent the two
girls to the neighbors, then went in,
after assuring herself that the in
truder was past the point Of being
dangerous, and phoned for Deputy
Sheriff Shattuck.
Capt. H. Anderson, living next door
to the McCrary home, arrived before
Mr.. Shattuck and wakened the man.
He W too drunk to tell even his
name, but was able to give just enough
information so that his questioners
finally figured out that he was care
taker Of one of the cottages on the
beach below. In going to this particu-
lar cottage he would have had to cross
footlog, and he had retained just
enough sense to remember the fact.
Evidently it was ANY port in the time
of storm" and the McCrary house look
ed like as good port as any.
Although Mrs. Mccrary, with her
experience and the training Of her
years Of residence in the North, was
able to laugh at the incident many
women would have been badly fright
ened.
