RAY BRIGHT ACCEPTS POSITION

IT is with real regret that the many
friends made during the school year
received the announcement recently
that Mr.. Ray Bright, principal Of the
Columbia school, would not return to
the Island next year.
Mr. Bright has impressed patrons Of
his school with his fine teaching abil-
ity. His willingness to help out in
community affairs and the assistance
his wife has likewise given have made
the Brights a real asset to the Island.
Mr.. Bright possesses a fine voice and
has been generous with his ability,
singing In various communities over
the Island whenever requested.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bright are the kind

LOCAL BAKERY INSTALLS
BREAD SLICING MACHINE

The growing popularity with which
the products of the Island Bakery Is
meeting has influenced the manage
ment In installing bread sllcing ma
chine. Sliced white and whole wheat
bread Is now being marketed at the
same price as the whole loaf.
Rodda's Prlce-Rite store at Center
has discontinued all other bakery pro-
ducts and is now featuring only the
goods of the Island Bakery. When
the new owners, Louis Stockmeyer and
Homer Brehm, arrived 1t was their
desire to convince the buying public
that they could put out as good
bakery goods as could be purchased
anywhere. Louis Rodda, manager Of
the Price, Rite stated that as soon as
he could be convinced that the pro-
ducts Of the local bakery were equal
to those produced by the large city
bakeries he would handle the local
products exclusively. His announce
ment made this week that he would
now feature the home products ex-
clusively show what his decision final
ly was.
There is no reason why an Island
bakery should not do paying busi-
ness. All things being equal the home
Institution deserves the business, and
when Island customers begin to ask
for Island bread and pastries only we
will have made another great step in
the right direction.

9Th.
Esther Katharine, youngest daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Johnson
was born In Seattle. July It'll, 1901
At the age Of two she came to vnshon
Island with her parents, who estab-
lished their home OH the West Side,
Here Esther grew up, attending
Columbia school, and later graduating
from Vashon high school.
After attending normal school she
taught for few years. Love Of travel
later took her for seven years over the
country where she visited all OF the
principal cities Of America, working
her way by store and office work.
At Miami, Florida she met and
married her husband, Capt. Edward
Goffe, February 5th. 1923.
About two years ago Mrs. Goffe,
with her baby, came back to vashon
Island, her childhood home, and her
parents. The illness of Capt. Goffe
made necessary what was then ex-
pected to be but temporary breaking
up Of their home. Later events proved
1t to be a blessing In disguise, as 1t
made possible her spending her last
days with her own people instead of
! among strangers.
Several months ago serious illness
developed, and although everything
possible was done the hopelessness of
her case was soon apparent. After
terrible suffering, which she bore with
bravery and faith that was an in
spiration to all who served her, death
came at noon last Friday and she
passed quietly into her eternal home,
surrounded by her loved ones who had
done everything possible for her.
One Of the greatest comforts to Mrs.
Goffe during her last hours was the
promise OF her husband to allow their
little three year old son to remain
with his aunt, Mrs. Ober, to be reared
as one of her own babies. Mrs, ober,
who has cared so lovingly for her
sister, now has little Edward to con-
sole her in the loss Of his mother.
On Monday afternoon the Cove
church was filled with friends who
came to pay the last tribute to the
beautiful life and character Of the
young woman who had been called
home. Rev. Peterson, who had baptized
her preached the funeral sermon at
her request. He was assisted in the
service by Rev. Stromme and Rev.
Haugland. The Colvos ladies quar-
tette sang several numbers. A pro-
fusion of beautiful floral offerings
from sorrowing friends added their
silent tribute.
She was laid to rest In the family
lot at the Vashon cemetery in the
presence Of those she had loved in
life. Hers was blessed and beautiful
homegoing.
Those who survive to mourn their
loss are the husband and son, Edward
Junior, the aged parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank johnson, brother, Frank
Johnson, and sister, Mrs. John ober
and family.

IMPROVED CORD DEFEATS
TIRE FABRIC FATIGUE

Improved cord for tire fabric has
been one Of the most important fac
tors In increasing tire mileage, in the
opinion of Mr.. Stevenson, manager Of
Fuller's Service Garage, local Good
year dealers.
1.-THE most talked-of and widely
initiated cord is the Goodyear super
twist, patented cord which stretches
up to 81 per cent farther than ordi-
nary cord" MIR. Stevenson declared.
This is important since it has been
long realized that one of the major
causes of tire failure is fabric fatigue
which causes breaks in the shoulder
or Sidewalk Of the tire. Supertwist
cord is specially constructed to with
stand constant flexing by springing
back to normal position after each
movement Of the tire carcass thereby
increasing the life Of the time" Mr..
Stevenson explained.
Few motorists realize that while
driving IS miles per hour tire flexes
between 375 and 425 times per minute,
or a minimum of 22,500 times per
hour and at higher speeds there is
even more flexing," Mr.. Stevenson
said.
Before Supertwist fabric was de-
veloped by Goodyear, flexing breaks,
or fabric failure due to fatigue, were
the cause of 95 per cent of all tire
adjustments, but now less than two
per cent Of replacement adjustments
are the result of such breaks" Mr..
Stevenson pointed out.
The Fuller Service Garage has a
unique testing machine which i'm
pressively demonstrates the unusual
qualities of Supertwist cord.

them. Urging them to conquer
life.
For example-you are rid
ing along the street. You say
to yourself-"That is a tall
building. That is a pretty girl.
My tooth aches. I wonder If
my mother-in-law will pull an
other row tonight"
That is not thought. That
is merely drifting with the
tide.
But suppose the car in which
you are riding is suddenly
wrecked. Instantly your mind
leaps into action. You can no
longer move sluggishly with
the tide. You must do some
thing for yourself and do 1t
quickly. Your mind darts
about, checking up every means
of escape, rallying your re-
sources, making a plan. In
those furious seconds, you do
more real thinking than you
ordinarily do in a week OF
placid, passive experience.
We only think when we are
prodded into action.
Many things besides actual
danger may prod us. The COM
petition and conflict of busi-
ness life may prod us, the
pride Of creative work, the
lure of romance, the bitter
lash of grief. Any one Of these
stimuli may arouse our minds
to action. Without more stim-
ulus, we merely function, and
are little better than the
gummy, vegetable animals Of
the sea.
That is why happiness and
safety usually raise Cain with
us and why success and money
are often the worst things
that can happen to a human
being. Life no longer prods.
Our minds grow flabby. They
drift sluggishly in the creamy
tide of well being.
Don't pray for a comfortable
life. Pray rather for a diff
cult life-a life full of change
and conflicts and the need Of
adjustments-a life that will
make you THINK.

Poor Relatives

Perhaps you have relatives
who have not done well finan-
cially.
Possibly the line Of work they.
pursue is not very high-clasS.
Their social standing may not
be equal to your own.
Their manners may lack a
sort of cultivation that you may
have attained because of your
larger opportunities of associat-
ing with those from whom you
have learned much.
But the advantages you have
had have not added one bit to
your real value if you have
drifted away in interest and love
from those Of family connec-
tionS.
If your advancement has
caused you to be ashamed Of
your blood relations, you do not
deserve your good fortune.
1t is a severe shock and a
most painful experience for
close relatives to realize that
they are no longer welcome in
the home of one of their own
who has stepped up in station.
To be ashamed of ones family
because they are poor, if they
are honest and honorable, is
little short of diSgraceful.
You owe the best possible
treatment to all your relatives
who are clean, honest and hon.
orable, no matter what their
b looks or station.

Have you ELSIE honANsON

Hold your face close to the

There, clinging to a rock, with
thousands of its kind, is the

the tide and the sea anemone

whatever the tide may bring.
Many people live sea-anem-

Their reactions are sluggish

ONCE OVERS
BraggadOciO

It is unwise to tell the esca-
pades Of your youth before
young people.
AS a middle-aged person, now
more or less settled, it may
give you some pleasure to re-
count the pranks Of your
younger years.
You often do this at the
homes of your friends who have
young boys and girls, but not al
ways are your stories received
with as much enthusiasm
among the parents as among
the youngsters.
The fact that you are now a
respected citizen and more or
less prominent in your city or
your locality naturally gives the
impression that these indiscre-
tionS did not prove detrimental
to your career.
Youth loves adventure, and
your experiences might lead
them to think that they must
have similar episodes to be
worldly wise.
The modern young person
knows enough of things to do
to produce excitement without
accepting suggestions from their
elders.
AS a matter Of fact you want
to stand in a little better with
the younger folk and so you
think if you can sound a bit
"devilish" as to your past 1t
may attract them to you.

TT required 12 years to
l. rid the nation of the in
famous, tyrannical laws
written into the statutes by
fanaticism and hate during
the period of reconstruc-
tion; it will be something
over II years before we are
rid of the Fig b t e e n t h
Amendment.
There were many honest,
well-meaning, but misguided,
people, responsible for the
intolerable legislation aimed
at the rights of the South;
and many of the same sort
who originally sponsored
national prohibition.
In the case Of reconstruc-
tion legislation, the corrup-
tionists, the pensioners on
Government, and the poll
ticians, diverted it speedily
from the purpose of "pro-
tecting the colored people"
to one of prosecuting the
white for profit; and for
some years the national pro-
hibition movement has been
in the hands of corruption
lists, pensioners, racketeers.
The disgraceful legisla-
tion of 1S66-1S76 finally
wiped out when the sincere
but disillusioned discovered
their mistake; and national
prohibition is on it's way out
now because the real friends
of temperance have discov-
cred theirs.
The scene in the House
this week when more than
two-thirds of both parties
went on record against the
Eighteenth Amendment was
memorable. It meant the
beginning of the end of an
impossible experiment in
constitutional regulation and
determination of customs
and personal tastes.

Abnormalities Ais
The Fruits of Wars

Both the savage legisla-
tion Of reconstruction days
and the impossible national
prohibition legislation fol-
lowed in the wake of war.
That is when people are abb
normal, dominated more by
emotions than judgment.
Abnormalities are the fruits
of wars. Where, in the full
sweep of emotion, unwise
legislation finds it's way
into the statutes, it is not
so bad, since it is simple
enough to repeal the leg
islation when cold reason
resumes it's sway.
But during these two peri
DDS referred to, the impossi-
BILE was written not into the
statutes, but into the COnsti-
tuition, where it never should
have had a place. When a
mistake finds it's way into
the Constitution the majority
of the people cannot order
it out. Thus three-fourths
of the States must ratify the
action of Congress before the
fight is won. That means
that one-fourth of the States
can veto the action; and it
means that one-fourth of the
States with the smallest pop
ulation can block it.
It means that even an over
whelming majority of the
citizens Of this country can
not determine the policy of
the nation on a vital matter
which has done more now to
undermine respect for law
and create contempt for the
Constitution than anything
since the savage days when
such fanatics and political
tricksters as Thad Stevens
imposed their despotic will
upon a people theoretically
free.
