Funds Are Needed
: For Relief Work

Even though the weather is milder,
and conditions generally seem to be
improving there are still q number of
families on our Island who are feeling
the pinch of poverty.
The welfare committee, under the
efficient and benignant guidance of
w. d. Garvin, has functioned con-
stantly, ever since the first intimation
of need reached Mr.. Garvin last fall.
Some IL or is families have been
given assistance. The fathers, in a
number Of these families have found
work, while others still need the help
that has been given them through the
winter.
Only this week Mr.. Garvin very &C.
cidcntly learned of the plight OF a
family. Practically without food for
the past several days; the mother Just
beginning to recover from serious
illness; a number of small children in
the family: strangers, with no knowl-
edge of where to go for help, the fami-
ly was in a pitiful plight. MIR. Garvin
sent them an order of groceries at
once and fitted the children out with
shoes. Clothing for the boys, anything
suitable for boys Of from eight to
twelve will be GRATEFULLY received.
All of the relief work has not been
done by the committee, for there has
been fine spirit of cooperation between
the organizations desiring to help, and
the welfare committee. Among these
who have helped are the Ellisport
Women's Club, the Cove Lutheran,
Lisabeula and Presbyterian Ladies
Aids, the D. A. R. and the P. T. A. OF
the Center and Vashon schools, serv-
ing hot lunches and milk to under
nourjshed children. Several individuals
have given a regular amount each
month. One man, with no children
of his own, has given SIS each month
Ito keep some child from going
hungry"
The committee, as far as money is
concerned have come to the end of
its resources. All has been spent and
there are bills outstanding that must
be met. There are still hungry human
beings in need of food, right here on
our beautiful Island
Many of US are already overburden-
ed and have many demands on our
slender resources yet if it is possible
every one should make just little
greater sacrifice and contribute some
thing, be it however small. 1t may
seem ridiculous to give Is or SO cents
to this fund, but how much better
spirit it would show for fifty persons
to give half dollar each than for
one individual to give $25. Let it be,
If you will, our thank offering that
our own babies have enough to eat
Mr.. Garvin requests that all checks
or contributions of money be sent to
Mrs. Grace Beall. Contributions of
useable clothing may be left with Mr..
Garvin.

WILSON SMITH RECEIVES
HEAVIEST VOTE ON ISLAND

Evidently the Island people felt
that the Island vote paled into In
significance by comparison with our
neighbors across the water, for there
was only small number who turned
out to vote on Tuesday for Port Com
missioner.
Although Smith is an unknown
quantity the Island voters seemed to
feel he was the less of two evils, for
he received an even large majority
of the votes here than on the main
land.

Frohman to Talk Here.

FIFTY years Of the American theater.
during which the Frohman broth
ers and David Belasco were the DOM
mating figures-wil be revived and re-
vealed by Daniel Frohman upon the
occasion of his first appearance as a
speaker in the National Capital on
Wednesday evening, November is, in
Constitution Hall, at 8:15 o'clock.
"Reminiscences of the Stage and Its
Stars" will be the subject of his talk
on this occasion. Mr.. Frohman has
known them all-Mary Anderson,
Richard Mansfield, Sarah Bernhardt,
Robert Mantell, John Drew. William
Gillette, Maude Adams, Otis Skinner,
Ellen Terry, E. H. Sothern. Julia Mar
lowe, Lillian Russell, no less than Mrs.
Patrick Campbell, Laurette Taylor,
Billie Burke, Sir Charles Wyndham,
the great Modjeska, the famous Salvini,
and others. He and his brother
Charles managed them in the heyday
of their careers.
The last survivor of this famous trio,
Frohman not only tells Of famous play
ers as they were seen in the footlight's
glow. but takes his listeners behind the
scenes, revealing the theater's practi-
cal side, which the public seldom sees.
He tells how noted actors were "dis-
covered" and developed until they rose
from obscurity to fame. from struggle
to triumph-always with rare insight
and kindly humor.
