COMPANY WELL REPRESENTED
BY VASHON ISLAND BOYS

An interesting arrangement which
started as more or less of an expert
ment, but which is proving a highly
satisfactory business arrangement is
being carried on by four of our Island
boys.
Several weeks ago, at the close of
the summer, the Cernation route was
left without manager. Temporarily
Jas. Pettelle, who had just returned
from trip to California, assumed the
management Of the route. His father,
P. S. Pettelle, sales manager for the
ice cream department of the Carna-
ton Company, stood ready to help out
his son in any emergency that might
arise, but apparently the son is fol-
lowing in the footsteps of the sire, and
instead of the arrangement being a
temporary one, Jim has succeeded in
managing the route so excellently that
he is now the Island representative of
the Carnation Company.
Assisting the young manager are
three other Island boys. OF the quar-
tette all, with one exception, have
been reared and educated here on the
Island. Don Odion assists James
Pettelle on one route and Earl Hem
dricksen and Erwin Zimmerman take
care of the other route.
The boys are giving excellent SER
vice, are agreeable, courteous and
friendly. They are determined to
make q success, here among their
friends, and are working hard to
represent the Carnation Company in
an acceptable manner. 1t is interest
ing to see how systematic this group
of young fellows are, and how careful
they are in filling each order, regard
less of how small 1t may be. Gus
toners are entirely satisfied with the
service they are receiving, and are
deliSited with the happy manner in
WIKI the beys are carrying on, prov
inl,a the ability to master a situ-
alton is not limited TO the older gen.
Grafton.

NEIGHBORs REBUILDING
BURNED PAULSON HOME

A fine spirit of neighborliness is be-
ing evidenced by the rebuilding of the
Paul Paulson home which was de-
stroyed by fire several weeks ago. The
cold weather will not find Mr.. Paul
son without home, for with eleven
friends and neighbors on the job the
house is very near completion.
Capt. H. Anderson was responsible
for securing the lumber for the new
home, while John Jensen is supervis-
ing the building Of the house, which
is assurance that Mr.. Paulson will
have well built new home.

FIFE WINS 26-6 FROM
LOCAL II. S. SQUAD

On last Friday the Vashon Island
high school football team journeyed
to Fife for the first football game of
the current season.
The first half was a well-battled
contest which resulted in a touch
down for each team, Vashon scoring
theirs Just before the close of this
period.
During the second half Fife took the
field, a rejuvenated ball team and ran
roughshod over the local boys, scoring
three touchdowns and two CONVEX
sions.
The poor showing Of Vashon may be
attributed to the greenness Of several
players on the team who, up until the
present time, have never played the
game before. Mr.. Bankhead Is work.

HUNTING SEASON
OPENS SATURDAY

Although Vashon Island has
had no casualties as the result
of the annual bird hunting a
great deal of avoidable property
damage usually results. If the
same good craftsmanship were
observed when property rights
are concerned that is other
wise considered a necessary re-
quisite this would not occur.
More places are posted this
year than previously. This is
due to the natural resentment
over the influx of strangers at
this time. 1t is to be hoped that
not only the Island hunters,
but the visitors as well will OBJ
serve the rights of our property
owners.

English either in public high school

Her charming personality and ability
to get along happily with her associ-
ates, and her potentialities as a
scholar will make for success in her
work.

AMERICAN ADVICE
SOUGHT BY TURKEY
Young Republics Isolation
/ Complex Being Broken
NJ, Down by Minister.

ANGORA. Turkey P.-A marked
change in Turkeys policies is breaking
down the young republics isolation
complex and Is bringing her into closer
relations with the outside world, par
ticularly America.
Under the new minister Of economy,
Djelal Bey, a movement against the
nxesent high protective tariff and
another seeking the engagement OF for
cjRn experts to solve internal economic
problems are row afoot.
American Employed.
An American, Robert Vorfeld, has
been engaged as adviser on customs
organization. Other experts on rail-
roads, State nonopolies and civil avia-
ton will be consulted and 1t Is con-
sidered likely they also will be Ameri-
cans.
noteworthy because a hangover from
the regime of capitulations under the
Sultans made the Kemalst government
view all foreigners askance. Attempts
to establish foreign enterprises here
often were considered lhreats upon the
country's newly won independence.
Turkey. according to that view. was
to be run-eVen II she were 10 DC
run on the rocks-solely by Turks.
Breaks Down Barriers.
This point of view and the high tariff
policies of 1929 prevailed until few
months ago, when M. Bey, one OF the
republics leading flnanciers and econo-
mists, became minister of economy.
He is aiming to kill the anti-foreign
ghost which haunted his predecessors
and is working toward fewer restric-
tions in commerce with other lands.
The contingent system, in the rig
orous form In which 1t was put into
effect year ago, is now generally ad-
mitted to have injured the economic
situation Of country so predomi-
nantly agricultural as Turkey.
The drop in imports and exports Is
considered by some to be proof that
Turkey needs greater freedom in her
commercial exchanges. This freedom
is promised by the new minister.

time.

HOPE GONE FOR 15
IN MINE DISASTER
MoWeaqua, ILL.,, Preparing to
Bury 80 Bodies Taken
Out So Far.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOWEAQUA, ILL.,, December 81
Hope was stricken from Moweaqua's S
vocabulary today as this village Of 1,4oo
moved to bury its dead-victims Of a
coal mine disaster.
No longer was there vestige Of be-
Lief that the remaining Is men trapped
some 700 feet underground could still
be alive. Saturday 81 miners were en-
tombed after an explosion loosened an
avalanche Of debris, clogging avenues
of escape. Already 80 bodies have been
unearthed.
AS to the others-'.Not even a miracle
could save them now" That was the
way John Millhouse, director Of the res
cue squads, put it.
Hack Through Debris.
Late last night workers hacked
through shale, rock and coal to open
up the north wing of the mine. where
it was believed the Is were trapped
BY noon today, Millhouse said. sufficient
fresh aid would have seeped through
to make it safe for squads to go into
that section.
The explosion apparently had its
greatest effect in the north wing OF the
IT. shaped mine. he said. The men
there, he believed, either were victims
of poison gas or had been crushed to
death.
The bodies of the 80 were found in
debris at the intersection of the IT.
and in the south wing.
Over the Christmas holidays expert
rescue squads toiled ceaselessly, burrow
ing through debris in the hope of
reaching some one alive, some one who
could guide them to others who might
still be alive
Only Bodies Found.
The rescuers' efforts were met only
by bodies.
From time to time rescue squads
were driven back by seeping gas and
crumpling debris. 1t was necessary to
timber and repair tunnels. proping up
weak places. to make it safe for rescue
work to continue.
If none arc brought out alive the
death toll will be the second largest for
any mine disaster in the State, Mill
house said. The largest was in 1909,
when fire roared through coal mine
at Cherry, snufhng out 26. lives.
