TO THE ISLAND GIRLS.

Each year the editor Of the News
Record receives inquiries from summer
neorle desiring full or part time help.
I have been able to make helpful
suggestions in a number of cases.
.Ghere are, no doubt, a number of
Island girls wanting and needing work
Usually 1t is by sheer good luck that
I have definite knowledge of these
girls. There is no agency locally
whereby these girls can get in toucl,
with prospective employers, SO this
seems to be one little service the edi-
tor can do for the community.
cannot promise positions but I
would be glad, if there are any girls
looking for summer work, to receive a
letter from them, stating previous ex-
perience, qualifications, wages expect
ed, age, etc., not emitting information
as to cooking ability. Please do not
phone this information to me. The
letter may be sent to Mrs. Smock per-
sonally.

Vashon Island Still
Needs Relief Fund,

Considerable comment has been
aroused over the statement published
last week in a city daily that Vashor
Island had reached the point that the
relief program could be discontinued.
To say the least this statement was
unfortunate and premature. There
will be certain need of relief work
for some months to come, although
each week is finding few more
families able to take care of their own
needs. With gardens coming on and
few Jobs available those who have
been receiving help and so inclined
can come more nearly taking care Of
themselves.
Too many have been regarding the
money for relief as did the children oil
Isreal the manna provided in the
wilderness. Like all good things of the
present day the cold. hard cash which
has been providing this relief comes
not from on high, in unlimited quaint
titles, but 1t has It's limitations and the
limits of the money loaned King
County by the r. F. c. have been about
reached. Our county is bankrupt The
bonds voted last fall to take care Of
outstanding relief indebtedness ane
provide for a two million dollar RELIEF
program have gone begging, and car
find no buyers.
1t is just a case of good plain
reasoning, and from all indications the
relief will be withdrawn of necessity
through lack Of funds, regardless o.
whether the Island people can or can.
not take care of themselves.
We do question the necessity of ar
investigator from the Seattle office
however, as we feel sure that the
honesty and intelligence of our loca
workers, Mrs. Shattuck and Mr.. Prigg
added to their knowledge of local con
ditions makes local superior un
necessary. Her salary could be used t.
good advantage in extending our loca
relief program little longer. A com
munity like ours does not need {
trained social welfare worker half a.
much as it needs the good garden
variety of common sense and {
thorough knowledge of our people.

Granddaughter Of
wv. Garvin Injured

Relatives here were much relieved
to learn Monday that the injuries re-
ceived Saturday by Mildred Garvin
and Thelma Williams in an automo-
bile accident east of Yakima would
not prove serious.
The two girls, in company with
three other Seattle girls, had started
Saturday morning on a vacation trip
which was to have included sight see
ing, the Worlds Fair at Chicago, COM
mencement at West Point, where a
cousin of Thelma was graduating
visits with relatives in the east. The
girls, both seniors in the university
were making the trip rather than take
part in the commencement exercises
Both had been planning for it for
months n
Although their trip began somewhat
disastrously the girls have, however
much to be thankful for in their for
tunate escape. The accident to their
car occurred east of Yakima near
Selah, at point where the highway
turns to the left near the approach to
a bridge over the Yakima river on
another road.
Thelma, who was driving, discovered
her mistake in not making the left
hand turn and becoming confused
drove into the railing Of the bridge
which broke allowing the car to go
through and down the bank.
Passing motorists rescued the girls
who were taken to the hospital. The
car which was taken into Yakima was
badly damaged and its touring pos
sibiiities were somewhat doubtful.
Mildred Garvin is well known on the
Island and is the granddaughter of
Mrs. Anna Steffenson and w. v. Gar
vim. Thelma williams is Mildred's
step-sister, and frequent Island
visitor.

FIRST BINGHAM DANCE
STRIKES POPULAR NOTE

The gingham dance of last Wednes-
day evening, sponsored by the Eastern
Star and Masonic orders, brought out
large crowd of Island folk, and a
considerable number Of summer visi-
tors.
The informality of the affair made
it one Of the most enjoyable dances Of
the season. The music furnished by
Blonde Jacobsen's orchestra was all
that was promised and the dynamic
personalities Of the musicians made
their performances good show even
If one did not care TO dance.
The sentiment of many present at
the dance seems to be in favor of a
repetition and it is entirely possible
that other such dances will be given
during the summer,

Island Suitable for
u S. Airpla,,e Base

Interest was aroused Saturday by
the two airplanes circllng over the Is.
land and there were various surmises
rs to the reasons.
After hearing over the radio Thurs
day evening broadcast of dinner
being given for officers Of the fleet OF
army planes which visited the coast
last week, 8. p Stevens, mentioning in
his log cabin at Vashon Heights, call
ed together group Of representative
business men. He outlined to them
that he had Just learned that plans
for spending some 20 million dollars
for air school fields and emergency
landing fields was part Of the pro-
posed air defense program of the U
s. army. Mr.. Stevens pointed out the
suitability of the Island for such q
field and had no difficulty In persuad-
ing the group he had called In that
the plan was feasible.
vashon-Maury Island would provide
a site for an army flying field that
would be equally suitable for either
land or sea planes. With its high
banks underground hangers could
easily be constructed for the am
phibian type of plane.
The altitude of the higher parts Of
the Island, 800 feet, would insure a
fog free atmosphere in practically all
weather.
There are large tracts Of cheap LAND
available that could be easily prepared
for either large or small field.
At the request of Mr.. Stevens, repre-
sented by Royce Wise, the matter was
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1933-06-08

presented first TO w. w. Conner, state
director OF aviation and member OF
the national department of commerce
Mr. Conner was interested and i'd
mitted the entire feasibility Of the
plan. 1t was then put before Gen.
MISSIONER who directed that an air
survey Of the Island be made on
Saturday. It is reported that In two
or three weeks ground survey will
be made and suitable tracts listed.
It will, of course, DO some time be-
fore the definite locations for the pro-
posed air bases will be decided upon,
rs many other towns and cities along
the Sound are making similar bids,
but 1t is well that Vashon- Maury Is
land should be called to the attention
of those who are making the investi-
cation.
Mr.. Stevens interest In the matter,
as well as some of the political friends
the Island has at court, augurs we'll for
some measure of success Mr. Stevens
is greatly interested in aviation and
knowing personally many Of the men
foremost in that field today is in a
position to do much in this matter.
We cannot blind ourselves to the
fact that 1t will not be a great time
before an Island landing field will be
as important as good roads. 1t will
be recalled that not generation ago
there was serious objections to a paved
highway and later on to the installa-
ton of community water systems. The
world moves, and we must of necessity
move with it.

Island Man Makes
A Peculiar Appeal

Possibly no paper has ever been re-
quested to publish more startling adj
vertisement than one contained in this
weeks issue of the News-R Record.
One of our Island men, apparently
In full possession of his senses, is ad-
vertising for all of the cats Island resi-
dents can spare. Aside from the fact
that the cat must have tail there
are no limitations as to size, shape,
color or state of preservation, (al-
though the animal must be alive).
There is only this one condition, he
does not want any household pets,
only the unwanted cats. While he
will not inquire into the method by
which you acquired any cats he may
dispatch for you, he prefers that
you will not purloin your neighbours
cat.
He is Offering no price for the pussy
cats, nor does he expect to COM
mercialize on the proposition. He
feels that in Kidding the Island of as
many unwanted cats as possible he is
performing service not alone to the
Island people but to the cats them
selves, for this is cruel world for a
cat without home.
And thereby hangs a tale, not tc
mention the tail appended.
At last Friday evenings meeting Of
the Sportsman's Club the subject Of
the damage being done to young CANT
birds by stray cats came up for dis.
cussion. Views were aired, pro ant
con, and when the smoke of battle
cleared away it was decided that the
cat without a definite place in society
the stray cat without her own territory
and home, must go.
The club membership was divided
into two groups. For a given period
each will go cunning for cats that are
running at large, which are a menace
to wild bird life. When the open sea-
son on cats is over there will be an
other meeting of the club, and the
side bringing in the largest number
of cats tails will be declared winners
and will later be entertained with q
dinner furnished by the losers
Hence the ad of Mr.. Zimmerman
who is one of the captains of this
drive for big game. He states that he
has long ago exploded the theory that
it is bad luck to kill cats, and has de-
cided that it is especially good luck to
dispose of all strays which are menac-
ing wild bird life.

SO on old debts.
Plans are being made to serve the

Safety Record Made
By T. 5. ?. { |. Co

An unusual safety record was made
by employees OF Puget Sound Power &
Light Company in the 10 counties the
company serves during the first three
months of this year, E. II. Worthen,
safety engineer for the system, an
nounced.
Throughout January, February, and
March there was not 'rlost-time ac-
cident" on the system, ne said. A
''lost-time accident" is one forcing an
employee to be off duty for three days
or more. 1t WAS one of the few similar
periods in history that an American
power company has established such a
safety record. Ordinarily there are
five or six "lost-time accident" per
month.
Chief safety inspector in the COM
psry's seven operating districts are:
r. S. Maxwell, Seattle; H. E. Barnes,
Bellingham; R. H. Johnson, Everett;
w. A. Gallott, Wenatchee; w. G. Cor
kins, Chehalis; L G. Spickard, Ia
coma; and d. F. Misz, Bremerton.
The company safety plaque is now
in possession Of the division of power
supply, having been won in April
John Harisberger is chief of the d.
vision.
After each accident to an employe
Aon the job hearing is held to estab-
lish the cause before the head of the
department, the safety inspector for
the district, and an employee Of similar
position to the injured person, all to
the end that such a mishap may be
avoided in future and human life and
limb protected.

Enough Signers for
Referendum No. is

Announcement Is made from head
quarters of the Taxpayers Relief Com
mittee, statewide organization of tax
payers which has sponsored Refer
cndum No, 10 on the so-called Bone
Power Bill, that more than enough
valid signatures of registered voters
have been procured to place the refer
endum on the ballot at the general
election in November 1881.
These petitions will be filed with the
Secretary Of State at Olympia, and
will automatically prevent the Bone
Bill, enacted by the recent session of
the legislature, from becoming oper-
alive and this measure, which would
have added to the tax burden of all
property owners In the state will be
held up until the people have oppor-
tunity to vote on It, Several years ago
the identical measure was defeated by
the people.
In statement issued from Everett
headquarters OF the Taxpayers Relief
Committee, Secretary Joseph H. Smith,
says:
I'VE have but taken the front line
trenches, the decisive battle yet re-
mains to be fought. All who signed
these petitions to protect their prop
erty from aggressions Of the Seattle
Tacoma municipal power trust should
continue their efforts clear through
until the 1884 election. The Seattle
Tacoma City Power politicians want
to create statewide tax-free mo-
nopoly under their own machine of
job holders
THE Taxpayers Relief Committee
has been astounded at reports coming
to headquarters from all over the state,
and particularly from rural districts
and small towns that so many voters
did not know that city and town own
w poWSA 'Aiu i1SllS oysleIllS ulu lOU pay
any taxes to the state or local govern
ment and were not under state regula-
ton.
ut is essential that statewide
educational campaign be carried OH
from now until election in 1894 so that
everybody may understand this scheme
to unload the burden Of taxation and
Indebtedness of Tacoma and Seattle on
the other communities of Washington.
I'VE want at this time to especially
thank the editors of the state, without
whose assistance the taxpayers would
have been unable to protect their
rights by means of this referendum.
Out of the more than 300 newspapers
OF Washington, barely dozen opposed
the referendum"
