friends of so many years association
All who knew both Mr.. and Mrs
Rindal were friends that were never
lost.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon from the Colvos
Lutheran church, which was crowded
with those who came to pay their last
tribute to good friend and neighbor,
and to show their love and sympathy
for the faithful wife. The profusion
of floral offerings bore mute testimony
of the affection of those friends.
The service was conducted by Rev.
Stromie, pastor of the Seattle church
to which the Rindals belonged. He
was assisted by Rev. G. Aug. Peterson,
a longtime friend, and Rev. Stamina,
a former pastor of the Colvos Luther
an church. A double quartette of
West Side girls sang beautifully the
hymns that Mr.. Rindal had loved.
Interment was in the Island cemetery.
Those who survive are the widow;
a daughter, Marie Christopher; son,
Barney; and two brothers, Ole of
Poulsbo, and John, Of Bellingham.

EXPERIMENTING IN
ACOUSTICS OF AUDITORIUM

This week Don Parker is working
hard in an attempt to improve the
acoustics Of the high school audi
forum. 1t has been difficult for those
sitting at the back of the room to
NV what is said on the stage.
Acting on the suggestion Of experts
along this line Mr.. Parker is stringing
wires which can be frightened by turn
buckles to the tautness of piano
strings. This has been done with
success in many instances where the
sound properties Of room were poor,
changing them entirely.
Since the high school auditorium Is
the only large hall on the Island, and
is of necessity used for all large
gatherings. 1t is necessary that the
sound properties be as good as pos
sible. 1t is evident that this fact was
overlooked when the room was PLAN
ned, and there has been much critic
ism because OF 1t.
1t will be interesting to note the
effect Of Mr.. Parker's work, since
many others have wanted to try the
experiment (for consideration while
he is doing the work free, for the
good Of all who use the auditorium.

Banquet Tickets
Are Now Available

Only twenty tickets for the annual
banquet of the Consolidated South
District Commercial Club were re.
ceived by R. w. F. Martin this week
1t had been hoped that more could
enjoy this affair this year, but the
demand for tickets is so great that
Vashon had to be satisfied with this
small number.
This is one of the most delightful
affairs Of the year in Commercial
Club circles. Each club in the dis
trict appoints a girl to represent it.
From this group of girls one is select
ed by the girls themselves to be miss
South End. This girl is entertained
during the year at all of the various
civic celebrations and is assured of
lots of attention. Definite choice of
Miss vashon Island has not as yet
been made in time for this publica-
ton. but will be announced next
week.
Those desiring tickets will have to
make arrangements for them at once,
as the number Mr.. Martin has re-
naming is very small. To attend the
banquet once is assurance of de-
sire to be a guest each year.

Two Disastrous
Fires This Week

Two disastrous fires have occurred
on the Island during the week. on
Monday night, In some unknown
manner fire started in one of the
cottages at Indian Point. It is sup
posed defective wiring was the cause
Famed by the high wind the flames
spread rapidly and before help ar
rived three cottages were consumed.
On Tuesday afternoon while the
Mornings, of Lisabeula, were away
from home their house caught fire
and burned to the ground, with a total
loss Of all the contents. There was
insurance on the house but none on
the contents. Coming at this time of
the year it is indeed sad loss to
them. Since coming to the Island
Mr.. Morning has played in hard
luck. An injury to his hand last
winter resulted in heavy financial loss,
and now the loss of their home is
apparently more than they deserve
in the way of financial reverses. With
the help of sympathetic neighbors the
Mornings will soon be in new home,
however, for they do not anticipate
leaving the Island, although they own
property in the city.

To Present Show
Saturday, Jan. IS

one of the funniest, cleverest plays
ever staged on the Island is "The
Three Wise Fools, which will be
offered to the public Saturday eve
ming, January 10th. The curtain is
scheduled to go up promptly at 8:l5;
there are no reserved seats, SO 1t will
be advisable to be at the high school
early, for the sale Of tickets indicate
that there is going to be large audi
ence.
Inc three old men, who think that
they are SO wise, yet in the end are
beautifully fooled, fall heir to a child
left to them by the will of the woman
whom in youth they had all loved.
One of them is almost murdered by
an eX-convict, pal of the child'e
father, who had also served a prison
term. The two buffers Il. G. Beall
and George Mccormick are good at
their respective jobs. The machina-
lions of the detective and policeman
involved in the plot furnish the thrills
thate Benny, the Duck, overlooks. Of
course there is beautiful heroine, a
brave hero, and housekeeper that
is par-excellent, for she has had a
number of years of actual experience
on the professional stage.
1t would be unfair to spoil the sur
prise in store for all who are going
to see THE Three Wise Fools" by
telling too much about the plot.
The characters will be taken bv
John Metzenberg, Gus Bacchus, Joe
Lindstrom, DR.. Coutts, Chas. Van
Olinda, L. G. Beall, Geo. Mccormick.
Bud Flenner, Martin Tjomsland, Ed
Harmeling, with Shirley Coutts and
Mrs. Ralph Robinson taking the
feminine roles. Don Parker and Mar
jorie Stanley are directing the pro-
duction.

ERIC o. RrNDAL.

Death came quietly, without warn.
ing, to Eric o. Rindal, who passed
away last Saturday evening, after foul
years of continual illness and suffer.
Ing from asthma, of the most severe
type. His death was a great shock tc
his family. and the wide circle Of
friends who had been SO encouraged
by Mr.. Rindal's seeming improvement
since his return to the Island few
months ago.
Eric o. Rindal was born in Oier,
Guldbrandsdalen, Norway, December
20, 1857. His parents were Ole and
Elizabeth Rindal.
At the age Of 10, Mr.. Rindal came
to America, settling in Lacrosse, Wis.
Later he went to Woonsocket, South
Dakota, where on July 4, 1856 he was
married to Miss Tina Hedstrom.
In 1888 Mr.. and Mrs. Rindal came
to Seattle, where Mr., Rindal engaged
in business.
In 1906 they came to the Island,
opening general merchandise store
at Cove. which they operated for many
years.
Four years ago Mr.. Rindal's health
became SO poor that he was an almost
constant sufferer. Feeling that a
change was advisable he and his wife
moved to Seattle, where all that was
humanity possible was done to restore
him to health. Seldom is family
missed as the Rindals were when they
left the West Side. where they had
formed such an important part in the
life Of the entire community.
A short time ago they returned to
the Island, and were welcomed back
with great Joy into the circle of
friends who had missed them SO
greatly. 1t was inevitable that the
death of Mr.. Rindal should leave
great sadness among those faithful
