Committee Requests
Plants and Seeds

On Tuesday evening meeting Of
the highway Identification committee
of the Commercial Club met at the
home OF Royce Wise.
The triangle at the junction of the
highway and the old Cedarhurst road
is now ready for planting. 1t was
decided by the committee to make an
appeal through the News-Record to
all Island flower growers to donate
any surplus they may have of dahlia
tubers, marigold plants, or any other
plants or seeds which would be suit
able to plant In this triangle Or else
where along the highway. These
plants or seeds may be left at the
Vashon Hardware store, or will be
picked up If Dr.. Bennett or Royce
Wise are notified.
On Sunday there will be general
planting along the highway of per-
RENAL sweet peas, California peoples
and godetia. Those desiring to take
part in this planting can obtain seed
from the committee, Of which Royce
Wise is chairman.
The vashon Heights workers are
planning to plant the hillside fronting
the dock with godetia and California
poppies so that before the end of the
summer 1t will be mass of bloom.
1t is planned to plant perennial
sweet peas around all of the old
stumps along the highway. Since
there is not the means to remove
them 1t is thought that to cover them
with blooms Is the next best thing.
The committee solicit the assistance
of everyone interested In this worthy
project. They have already accomp'
lished q surprising amount Of worf
with the help of various Island or.
ganizations, and expect to do much
more before the spring has becomt
| too far advanced for the work.

All CLUB MEETING

$50 All Club members, leaders, and
parents attended the King County All
Club meeting which was held at the
TaHoMa high school on Saturday,
April LIST.
Miss Norma Forsberg Of Carnation,
president of the county organization,
called the meeting to order promptly
at 1880 a. M, and dispensed with the
business in regular order. The main
feature of business relative to the pro-
gram for 1893 was the favorable ac-
ton taken by the club to hold the
County All Club fair at Redmond.
AS a result of the election John Nc
Kay of Taylor was elected president;
Wesley Willhight of Cedar Falls, vice.
president; Mary Masini of Taylor,
secretary treasurer, Bernice Wigton,
Enumclaw, reporter, and Donald Nc
Cornell of Taylor, song leader. These
officers were installed in office in
regular form by the Cedar Falls All
Clubs. After enjoying a splendid pro-
gram by the TaHoMa All Clubs, Mr..
Forman, head of the educational de-
partment of the Puget Sound Power
g. Light Company, was introduced and
gave very interesting talk to the
boys and girls on the subject of DE
veloping Oneself to Become a More
Useful Citizen"
The meeting was adjourned by the
newly elected Pep Club officers.

Vashon Pupil
Wins County Honors

About % pupils and patrons Of the
Vashon grammar school attended tho
Joint high school and grammar grade
declamatory contest at Renton last
Friday evening. The party went over
In one Of the high school buses, lcay-
ing at 8 o'clock and returning at 1890
The contest was between the win
ners OF the North and South districts
Of King county. It consisted Of three
types Of defamation, oratorical, dra-
matte and humorous.
Music was furnished by the Renton
high school orchestra, playing three
groups Of selections.
There was little doubt In the minds
Of the vashon youngsters as to who
would win in the oratorical division,
and as far as they were concerned the
matter was as good as settled before
the contest began, but 1t was great
satisfaction to them when their judy
rient was confirmed by the three
Judges, g. r. Strothers, of the Uni
versity; e. L. Mcconnell, Of the JEFF
ferson school, Seattle. and E. j.
Klemme, lecturer and author. James
Cronander, with his selection. "The
Private Soldier, was pronounced win
her OF his group, and brought home a
blue ribbon for himself and banner
for his school. It Is doubtful If James
is nearly as proud Of his honor us are
his schoolmates.

Relief Vouchers on
Basis Of 45c an Hr,

AT a meeting of the Advisory Com
mittee OF the King County Welfare
Board held at Renton last Tuesday, a
policy was adopted by which all work
done in repayment sor relief vouchers
will be on the basis Of As cents an
hour.
Heretofore the welfare board has
avoided using any scale Of wages to
determine the amount Of work that
might be done in connection with the
relief vouchers, preferring rather to
have the applicant work out the re-
lief on the basis of one-half day per
week for each member Of his family.
There has been lack Of understand
ing of this method, so that, as q re-
suit of studies in progress during the
past month, the board has now
definitely agreed that the present
county scale Of As cents an hour will
be used as a working basis.
| Emergency relief work will continue
to be on a six-hour day basis. Also,
1t was reiterated that no relief work
will be done on projects that might
possibly be paid for in cash.
1.-THE board feels that changing the
unit Of measurement for the work per-
formed will help greatly to clarity
some Of the misunderstanding which
have prevailed in recent weeks in con-
nection with the work relief program
r. w. Vinnedge, who presided over the
Renton meeting, said on behalf of the
welfare board We have consistently
felt that there is little, If any, con-
nection between work done In ex-
change for relief and regular work for
wages. Thus, any rate applied to the
former is only measuring stick and
is for the purpose of assuring man
that he is giving something in return
for what he is receiving"
A large part of the work done
Throughout the county is on public
roads, but much Of 1t is done in con-
nection with the Identification and
cleaning up of parks, schoolhouse anc
community club yards, and other pro-
jects distinctly of public nature.
