Clubs To Carry
On Relief Work

Ten ladies, representatives Of vari-
GUS community clubs, met Monday
afternoon and discussed the manner In
which the sewing ana various relief
measures are to be carried on during
the winter. Quite good many ar
ticles of clothing, as well as materials,
has been received by the committee.
These were checked over and plans
made for their use.
1t was decided that rather than
form an additional organization that
the work was to be parceled out
among the many clubs now function
ing. Several neighborhood groups will
probably be formed.
Several cases were reported and
plans for their Immediate relief made
1t is urged that anyone knowing Of
children in need Of clothing and who
cannot otherwise get 1t. call Mrs. F.
j. Shattuck and report the case.
A certain amount Of material
twenty yards to each needy family
can be obtained from the Red Gross
Slips must be signed by those desir-
ing the materials. Mrs. Shattuck has
turned in several Of these slips AND
has more should they be desired.

Drill Team To Be
A Feature At Ball

On Saturday evening, November 90,
Vashon Island Commandery Knight
Templar will give Its first annual ball.
IT is a general custom OF Commander
les to hold an affair of this nature
each year, but this is the first year
1t has seemed feasible for the local
lodge to do SO.
The dance is to be held In the
high school auditorium, which will be
beautifully decorated in keeping with
the holiday season.
A feature Of the dance that will be
Of particular interest, and will no
doubt attract many who do not care
to dance will be the exhibition drill
of a team from Seattle Commandery
No. 2, in full regalia. Their own
electrician will arrange special light
ing and engineer the lighting effects
used during the drill. Definite ar
rangemcnts have not yet been made
for an orchestra, but tentative plans
insure excellent music.
Although the members of the Com
mandery may appear in uniform they
desire the public to know that this
will not in any sense be formal
affair, and are anxious to make it an
all Island dance.
Coming at Thanksgiving time the
Commandery ball will mark the OPEN
ing of the winter holiday festivities,
and be an occasion for the students
home from college, as well as the
older set.

is THE PUGET SOUND CLIMATE
CHANGING?

A friend who had been bathing In
the waters Of the Pacific in California
came north to Moclips and found the
temperature of the Pacific several de-
grees warmer. The Niscually glacier
has receeded about mile since 1884
and lately took big plunge. There
are many other indications that we
are not facing another glacial period
and that the correspondent for the
P.-I. is not having summer nights
dream when he says that the Califor-
MIA climate is moving northward.
am amazed at the great number
of semi-tropical species and genera Of
plants that will thrive here and fee
at home, bearing seed abundantly as
II they mean ia stay in their adopted
environment.
Take for instance the Romneya
Coulteri or Matilija Poppy. Its native
habitat Is southern California. 1t is Q
shrukny perennial. 1t Is hardy or
vasYGn Island, blooms profusely and
is maturing viable seed. That most
beautiful of all the daisies of the
world, the scarlet and the pastel.
colored hybridc Gerbera Jamesoni Of
the Transvaal, Africa, is at home here
The brilliantly colored Rhododendron!
from the Himalayan mountains Of
India are at home here, bear seed II
abundance. The beautiful Incarvillea
delavayi from China, a close relation
to Tecoma grandiflora is at homt
here. / am today planting seed from
plants that produce 1t here. Thus w
might 90 on enumerating many Others
that are listed as semitropical ane
tender, or requiring protection, tina
thrive here In the open without pro
lection Eucalyptus Gunni has beer
growing on our grounds for the pas
thirty years.
II the California climate is moving
northward. let US hope that 1t will no
deprive us OF the advantage we hav'

vAsHoN P. 7. A.

The Vashon P. T. A. met at the
grade school Tuesday afternoon Mo-
vember 8. AT the business meeting 1t
was reported that 1888 had been
cleared at the dinner. A discussion of
playground equipment was held. Mrs,
Covey reported that she had written
the Seattle school board to learn their
plans in regard to playground ap-
paratus. The physical education de-
partmept replied that they were only
putting in handball and volley courts,
and baseball diamonds, and no APP
paratus because, ~ lack of space on
their Fairgrounds, az danger of &C
cidents, (3) difficulty in supervising.
Mrs. Covey further stated that there
was no leeway in the local school
budget to settle damage suits from &C
cidents, for which the school is held
liable. The members of the P, T. A.
are eager to supply bars and hori-
zontal ladders for the use of the chill
dren during their play hours at school,
and the committee, Mrs. Bacchus, Mrs.
Godsey, and Mr.. Anderson were asked
to investigate insurance on equipment
and costs. Mrs Convey will collabor-
ate with them in this investigation.
DR.. McMurray gave helpful adj
dress on health and economy in the
child's diet. He suggested that AMI
NAL fats, particularly butter, are better
for children than the vegetable fats.
The carbohydrates are in the forms of
sugar, bread, corn, hominy and rice.
The prepared cereals are not as whole
some for child as well-cooked grains.
Potatoes should be boiled with the
jackets on. Hot breads or rolls, grid
die cakes and doughnuts are not
healthful for growing child. Whole
grain breads are best, and corn bread
could we'll b. served once each day.
The corn meal should be made from
the whole kernel. and the de-
terminated form. He said we usually
overdo In giving sugar to children. One
teaspoon in q dish of cereal is usually
sufficient.
Spinach and beet greens are espec-
tally good for children. These should
be boiled in a small amount of water
to save the minerals. Usually in
cooking vegetables we throw out the
valuable mineral elements and serve
only the residue. Plenty Of vegetables

The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-28
Worthy of Praise

Waterbury was justly proud of Arch bishop John c. Murray at his installation on the throne of the See of St Paul. Mime sots. yesterday. Although the ceremonies were so far distant from this city as to pre- vent the numbers attending this ceremony as did the previous ones at Hartford and Portland. Maine we know that the entire city was conscious of the great honor that was being bestowed upon one of its native sons. Those who were fortunate enough to grow up with Archbishop Murray can re- call the days when he first displayed the priestly traits which became so manifest as he developed into young manhood.
 His successive elevations in the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic church usually brought forth "reminiscences of the days when he attended the old Clay street school or the Washington school and later Crosby High school from which he graduated as valedictorian. His career at the College of Holy Gross in Worcester. Mass. was me- teoric and is still bright in the annals of the institution. Four years in three was what he did. His scholarly attanments, his de- voutness. and above ali his application won him the opportunity to go to Louvain. Bel gium. where he pursued his theological stud ies took his VOWS. and was ordained.
 We feel sure that his administration of the arch diocese of St Paul will take rank with that of his predecessors. the venerable Areh- bishop John Ireland and the last incumbent. Archbishop Austin Bowling. With in- ereasing responsibilities Archbishop Murray has continued to display an admirable ability and disposition to deal with religious and practical matters in a manner to commend his work to all men. God willing. he shall continue along the course which has so recommended him to the clergy and parish toners over whom he has held sway in the East, Waterbury is proud of the part that it played in giving this Man of God to his Church
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-28

We wonder fl we are right in predicting SO much success for the democratic party this year. Perhaps we should temper our pre- dietions especially those relative to the pro- gres of the party in this state. Professor Albert Levitt of Bedding. stormy petrel of Connecticut politics. says that the complete rout of the republican party in Connecticut is anticipated If this statement came from anybody else but the professor we might breathe a sigh of relief Now, we are be-, ginning to wonder. We hope that the Levitt faction will eonfine itself to republi- can politics and not attempt any alliances with the democrats. To dste Mir Levitt has not met with any great success in his at- tempt at unseatins J. Henry Rorabaek. He bas also failed signally to make any impres- sion on the srmor plate of the public utili- ties commission. His has been an unhappy lot. Perhaps his fortune will turn. but until it docs be must pursue his lonely course of criticism.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-28

General Jacob Coxey of army fame" is the first presidential candidate to enter the field in this state. The elderly Coxey. now mayor of Massillon. Ohio. has written the Secretary of State for information on filing the necessary papers for his candidacy in Connecticut. However as there aren't any presidential primaries in Connecticut. we don't. see but what public announcement to the above effect won't do as much good as anything. General Coxey is much weathier today than he was when he led ragged horde to the White House some forty years ago. But he still sticks to the prinei- ples he advanced then. He still is boosting his campaign for bond issues in small de- nominations
