ono of international finance and world
economics? Is this crisis something for
Government officials and business men
alone to bother their heads ABOUT!
Or do the women and children SNARE
too In the responsibilities involved? Is there

or rehabilitation?
what are the women OF Amerlca-yes niio
the girls and boys-doing about it?' asks MRS.
Herbert Hoover, wife of the President, repeat
edIv over the air and in direct appeaB tnfoush
the press Are they recognizing ana making
the most of their opportunities 10 snouioei
fair share of the burden?
Mrs Hoover not only asks but also suggests
the answer She points out hundred nttie
ways in which every woman can do her smart
without adding any unweldy or unreasonable
burden to her personal load-and not oflS
every woman, bu. also every chllo
To the women Mrs. Hoover has spoken ol-
ractlv and frankly Her advice is simple
Take stock of the little things that need to be
done about your home things which mlgnt
wait for another season, perhaps, out whlch
give employment to some one VINO needs II
more than you need the small sum involved
have those things done now.
Some new curtains it may be, or repairs 10
the back porch steps. Count your pennies and
see not how little you can have done but how
much.
"At the White House" Mrs. Hoover cites as
an illustration of her point "the curtains at
many of the windows were rather frayed last
Fall They were still serviceable and perhaps
we could have made them last through the
Winter but I decided to have new curtains
made for I found that the man who takes the
order for White House curtains was much IN
need of the contract 1t seemed to me TO pe
poor economy to save on White House curtains
at the expense of employment for one Of our
own citizens"
THE First Lady believes, with many others
u who have made study of the psychology
as well as the economics involved in the pres
ent situation, that in the cooperation of every
body on little things lies not only a patriotic
duty but also potent force for ultimate re-
covery. II every woman in the country, for
instance, who had it within her means to do
so-and there hundreds Of thousands so
situated-would order just one odd job done or
would buy just that thing she had resolved
"to get along without during these hard times"
the resultant impetus to business might of itself
add sufficient force to the optimistic trend al
ready at work to roll away the stone of business
paralysis which has blocked the path to pros
perity for many weary months
AS Mrs. Hoover pointed out to newspaper

for she is herself an active adviser to the Girl
Scouts and has keen interest in all similar
youth organizations, following their activities
with close interest and unfailingy sympa-
thetic understanding You can be Of real serv-
ice to your own family and to less fortunate
neighbors in little ways that one but you
could serve, she points out in recent heart
to-heart talk with the boys and girls of the
All Clubs of the country. And through them
she was speaking to every boy and girl in the
land
This year is one of special opportunity for
the consideration Of problems of helpfuness,"
Mrs. Hoover declares. For this year there are
more people than usual in need of special
care, more than usual in need Of your care.
There IS something for each one of you to do
In this emergency, special achievement
awaiting you.
an plotting your individual achievement
projects lin All Club works. you decide on
the problem you will attack, you make an all
round survey of it, you lay out plan for your
course of action then you go to work to carry
out that plan diligently, perseveringly, enthusi-
astically And if new factors enter into its de-
velopment you may ingeniously readjust your
whole plan to the new demands. In much the
way you did with that All project,
you find yourself meeting other problems which
come into your life now. And in such way
you meet your share Of the responsibilities Of
this present year.
"You all have read or heard so much Of
these times of depression when crops or prices
have been bad and unemployment has existed
In the industrial sections Of our country, that
most OF you no doubt have already thought
over such of its phases have thus far affected
your community; and many of you may have
already seen ways in which you could help
tighten the burdens for some
1.-THE problems Immediately about you, the
! ways In which you can help, differ
greatly according to the section of the country
In which you live and to the factors affecting
your own family
Indeed, some of us will find the greatest
problem is the problem Of our own family.
Some OF us are going to find actual need
there perhaps the greatest need to be seen
anywhere in our neighborhood. To know how
to do without cheerfully how to decide wisely
what must be done this year for the ultimate
good and what can wait until next year, how
best to help the other members bear their in
to help make a Winters campaign for achieve
ment instead of submitting to aimless day
to-day worry-this in Our own families, will
be the great problem many of will have
TO face.
1--WE want to face it confidently, cour-
ageousy.
IT remember vividly when I was little girl
there was among my paymates one Winter
proup of normal, pleasant children from q
nearby farm number of times week we
saw each other. The next Summer one Of
the adult members OF my family learned from
Evening star., 1932-01-24

their mother that. because Of q series Of
catastrophiss on their farm and to their fam
ilys financial resources, they had lived all
Winter virtually on corn and milk, the two
items they had produced abundantly on the
farm that year. or course, 1t made an admi-
rable diet with the addition Of q fair amount
of cabbage, beets and turnips which they had
stored, and with the very occasional addition
of chicken and eggs and only a very little
pork all of which was homegrown and home
stored. 1t sounds very meager. But they had
had happy Winter. Father and mother had
kept cheerful and had kept the children active.
Incidentally, mother must have been a good
cook And the children had not grumbled.
Can you see the difference to that family If
the six or seven children from years up had
complained? Through conversations at school
and by observing the others lunches, they
knew that all the other children OF the neigh
borhood were having much more In the line
of goodies" than were they. And the other
children all had at least some new dresses
and suits instead Of all made-over and altered
and mended ones. I heard my family later
discussing the so-called morale of those chill
dren and what its effect must have been in
the family and in the neighborhood.
THAT little memory has helped me to Wis
ualize how much the attitude of the children
IN the family is going to help or hamper many
families In pulling through these next months.
There is nothing much more discouraging than
a moody, complaining child.
"And, of course, the picture Of that very
family have just painted shows where chill
dren may be helpful to other families than
their own.
III THINK have emphasized indirectly, here,
the fact that in your daily friendliness
you can be of very, essential help to your less
fortunate friends this year If you happen 10 be
among the very many whose families have suf-
fered little in diminished income.
"Of course there are other and far more
practical ways that you can find TO be OF ma
terial assistance If there are families in your
neghborhood who are approaching actual
want. Your one-time calf may have reached
the stage Of being milk COW this year and
you may have q quart or more Of milk every
day to take to the family whose baby or old
grandmother actually needs it. You may have
apples root vegetables which you have
canned which you can share with some one
less well provided, and now we know better
than we did years ago how vital milk and
vegetables and fruit are in a limited diet.
And must leave with you word to those
who have no actual want in their communi-
ties. I know many such. Where the crops
have been good, where banks and stores are
doing their normal business, where the people
were not led into disastrous speculation In re-
cent years; where, in, fact, II no one aids any

USEFUL PRIZES BEING
DONATED FOR CARNIVAL


A number of very nice prizes have
been donated by several firms and
these will be awarded at the carnival
on July 10th.
For the past three summers this
annual carnival of the Vashon Bust
ness Mems Club has furnished lot Of
amusement. 1t was with funds real
lied from the first carnival that the
fire truck at Vashon was purchased.
A second resulted in the money to
pay the major part of Lisabeula's
school debt, thereby making possible
our modern high school, while the
money last year paid for the vashon
street lights. The committee does not
anticipate a great amount realized
this summer, but feel that the Island
people need little recreation, and
enjoy the carnival enough to make the
effort justifiable.

JOHN BoRuD DIES IN ALASKA.

Word received here Sunday of the
death of John Borud, was a terrible
shock to his wife and many friends.
The meager information received
indicates that MIR. Borud died on the
"Cathrine G., boat belonging to the
Pacific American Fisheries, the COM
pany for which he was working on
Kodiak Island. Apparently he had
been taken dangerously Ill with
nephritis and other complications and
it was decided to get him to the hos
pital at Bellingham as quickly as pos
sible. He died Saturday, short dis
lance from Ketchikan.
The boat will reach Beliingham Fri
day or Saturday and the remains will
be brought to the Island as soon as
possible. Services will be held from
the Vashon Lutheran church on
Saturday or Sunday, probably at 200
o'clock in the afternoon.
The sympathy of his many friends
is extended to his wife, who is in very
poor health, and Frustrated by the
news of her husbands death.

Vashon Island Lily Association which
takes place at the Island Club next
Saturday afternoon and Sunday. July
2nd and 3rd. Information that may
be desired can be obtained by phoning
to Mr.. Geo. Sheffield chairman.
There will be no charge for ex-

double holiday there will be many
visitors on the Island, in addition to
the many who will make the trip

ISyAND BAKERY
~ WORKING OVERTIME

Despite the fact that number OF
bread wagons from off of the Island
are operating here the new Island
Bakery is going full blast. Last
Saturday 1t was necessary to bake q
second lot of bread which was being
delivered, hot from the big electric
ovens, as late as four o'clock in the
afternoon.
Ordinarily the breads and pastries
are all baked at night so that they
may reach the consumer us fresh as
possible, and Mr.. H. I. McGillivray,
owner and baker, does not plan to
bake during the day, unless very UNI
usual circumstances arise.
Island residents who have come here
in the past decade or less, remember
very distinctly the number of times In
the past the merchants were sold out
on Saturday when we were dependent
on city bakeries. Those who bought
late went breadless or ate hot biscuits
over the week end. Now all that is
changed, and the Island is not only
enjoying the best bakery products
that have even been sold here, but is
being served by concern that will
give 24-hour service If 1t is demanded.

the Garvin Chapel in Vasiion to honor
the memory of George William Bailey,
who on Thursday evening, as the sun

Fire Damages
Clausen Home

Last Monday morning, while hang
ing up clothes in the back yard Mrs
Peter Clausen, attracted by crack
ling sound looked up and discovered
that the roof of her house was on
fire. She called to Mr.. Clausen, who
was in the house, then ran to the
England home, where the maid sum-
moned the vashon fire department.
Within very short time the truck,
with its large tank Of water was on
hand. While the water was being
thrown on the blazing roof neighbors
carried out practically all of the furni-
ture.
1t was first supposed that the fire
caught from defective wiring, but this
was not the case, as there were no
wires in the attic. 1t is presumed that
the blaze came from a spark falling
on the roof, as there was hot fire
in the kitchen range.
Had 1t not been for the prompt and
efficient aid rendered the house, a
large eleven room structure, would
have been destroyed. AS 1t was there
was damage amounting to only about
$500, covered by insurance.
The vashon fire truck, which cost
only a few hundred dollars has been
instrumental in saving several pieces
OF property. It was purchased four
years age with proceeds from the
vashon Business Mems Clubs annual
carnival. and has saved in value many
times what 1t cost originally.
Not being able to thank personally
each person who assisted in saving
their home and its contents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Clausen have requested the News
Record to express their gratitude to
the vashon fire department, and to
the neighbors and friends who so
promptly and effectively came to their
help.
