ISLAND MAN BEFRIENDs BOY.

1t is hard to tell Mr.. John Staples
that there isn't some good left in this
wicked old world after all.
One Sunday evening In the city a
few weeks ago our bus driver drift
ed into conversation with nice APP
pearing boy who in the course Of the
conversation told of an offer Of Job
he had, but said he lacked the money
for stage fare to the place. It was
evident that the youngster was not at
tempting to get the money from Mr..
Staples, but was merely telling his
story as matter of information.
Mr. Staples questioned him and
learned that the boy could not get his
stage out until the next morning. He
said that if he only knew of some way
to get the stage fare he could get
along without eating or a place to
sleep.
Convinced that he was what he
seemed to be Mr.. Staples gave the boy
$5.7c, enough for supper, bed and stage
fare. He was almost overwhelmed and
lost no time in giving Mr.. Staples his
name and destination and in getting
Mr.. Staples name and address. They
parted when it was time for Mr..
Staples to make the return trip to the
Island.
A couple of weeks passed, but last
week Mr.. Staples received postal
order for what he had given the boy
and fine letter Of appreciation.
So now there are two people, Mr..
Staples and the boy he trusted, who
are pretty sure that there is lot Of
honesty and decency left in this world
after all.

CHILDREN ARE ENJOYING
HOMEMADE FERRIS WHEEL

The four little Blekkink girls are
entertaining their young friends and
relatives royalty on the ferris wheel
their father built for them this week.
1t is a plaything any parent handy
with tools could construct. The wheel
turns on an axis supported by simple
framework.
There are four seats which are
bolted to the spokes of the wheel
loosely enough so that they keep in
an upright position regardless of
whether on top or bottom of the arc.
Motive power is furnished by the
children themselves, whoever is at the
bottom giving mighty shove to carry
the wheel around until the youngster
above is in position to do his share.
This is only one of number of
pieces of playground equipment Willis
Blekkink has built for his own, and
neighborhood youngsters to enjoy.

Conservation

We have come face to face with an
other problem of depleted natural re-
sources.
A call has been sent out for con-
vention of the Fisherman's Protective
Association in Tacoma July goth.
The big cry is conservation of our
salmon supply Here we have another
example Of trying to eat our apple and
keep 1t. The commercial fishing inter-
ests in the state are nearly all broke;
the purse seiners haven't made a
dollar in several years; the troller is
In the same fix and now the public
comes to the realization there are no
more salmon.
They have come to the point of ex-
tinction, but do we hear the fishing
interests trying to conserve the sup
ply? We do not. They cannot pay
dividends If they do. This is one of
the resources the federal government
must take drastic action to save and
right now.
There has been law prohibiting
any commercial fishing gear in the
water from Friday night to Sunday
night. But the poor fish have never
been told about 1t, SO they run on
Monday, Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday and get caught.
We have tried for years to get a
sensible working plan to save the SAL
mon in this state. but the commercial
interests have always been too well
financed for us to make any Roadway.
Enough for the commercial interest.
Now for the sportsman's lack of con-
servations. He goes fishing whenever
he can. He fishes in commercially
closed waters. He catches young SAL
mon or inches long and he doesn't
stop when he has 20 fish or 20 pounds
of fish. If they're biting he stays with
them. He goes to places where the
herring and candlefish spawn, which

Observing the depression, a two-ball
foursome grocery tournament was

Mr.. Harry Enochs and Mrs. Neil Flen-

Mrs. Tim Clark and Mr.. Neil Flenner.
Three of the Clark family took
home prizes, thereby unfolding the

of any staged at the golf course.

The fishing resorts with boats for
hire will condemn me for this, but
I'm trying to make them all see that
we can't eat our apple and have it.

cannerymen, purse seiners, trollers,
sportsmen and the public at large in
a convention and if everybody will
willingly and honestly give their sup
port to some such movement we can
save the salmon.
believe the only way to bring back
the salmon is to absolutely prohibit
fishing for him in anyway for at least
two years, starting right now. Every
year of delay means a harder pull
back, as an example; the fishermens
strike on the Columbia river should
convince the interested what closed
season would do. Salmon have been
seen higher up the river and in great
err numbers than for many years past.
There are many other factors in this
problem, another one being stream
pollution. But pure streams won't help

spawn cannot get past all the fishing
gears.

late tan that is now in vogue.
However, 1t was not to acquire the
coat of tan, but the hope of winning
that kept the boy training even when

lost no opportunity to earn all he
could from day to day while hoping

and prosperity can return to the

adapt itself to the social conscience
based on Christian ideals, then it
must give way to some more just
and righteous social order that will
answer our problems. Let Christ
have the final word in all our indi-

ApDreciatiOn For Miss Fisher

words mean nothing to Woodie
Fisher today, but we who were so
lately of her household lay this trib-
ute of words upon the altar of her
memory as one lays flowers upon a
bier.
When we stood in bewildered hor-
ror on Sunday morning az the word
of her tragic death crept through
our halls, it was not as Miss Fisher,
natron of our institution, that we
thought of her, but as Miss Fisher
personal friend and head of our
world.
ga noble, unassuming, lovely type
of womanhood,' said one who had
known her long. ''She could not be
tempted to untruth or littleness.'
And others said nothing malicious
or petty or untrue marred the men,
ory of her long connection with the
institution.
The three keys that open mems
hearts had been given to her, Little
Silences, Little Services, Little Sac
rifces; and those who came to know
her knew that her rarely sweet dis
position was the expression of
rare and beautiful soul.
At the hour Of her funeral ser
vice a service of farewell was held
at the Helen Purcell home, attend
ed by every member of the home
who was able to be present. The
atmosphere Of the gathering as we'll
as the personal tributes, told of the
impress that is left by a beautiful
life.
So careful and complete had been
her winter preparations for her
household that it seems only natural
to think of her as having gone be-
yond the days in continuance of her
service-elsewhere, together with
those whose "souls do pass like
winging bees where no man can fol-
low, those whom God gathereth out
Of the whirlwind and the desert,
and bringeth home in goodly
swarm"

Commercial Motor Vehicle Licenses
To BE Issued From Columbus

Commercial vehicle licenses, in
Guiding all motor truck, bus and
transport car tags, viii, be dis
tributed only from the central Of
flee of the bureau of motor ve-
hicles' in Columbus and not through
any other source for the coming
year, Glen M. Daily, state registrar
of motor vehicles, announced.
This new order means that truck
owners may make application for
truck tags accompanied with check
with any deputy registrar through
out the state or with the bureau of
motor vehicles at Columbus. The,
tags will be sent out from Columbus
only and will not be distributed by
deputy registrars.
Daily explained that when truck
| tag applications are received in Co
lumbus the truck tag number will
be assigned and then the plates will
be mailed directly to the truck own
er to whom the license is issued.
Daily believes that this method
will not only expedite the handling
of truck plates and will render a
service to the truck owners, but
will also serve as an additional
check by the state to assure proper
registration of trucks, buses and
other types of transport trucks.
Early applications for truck
plates will be received in Columbus
and will be filed. In the immediate
future there will be assignment of
plates and shortly after December
the plates will be mailed to the
truck owners.
Daily worked out this method OF
truck plate applications
with the approval of O. W. Merrell,
state highway director, under whose
jurisdiction the bureau of motor
vehicles is now operated, and in
response to requests received from
throughout Ohio for more con-
venient and more adequate manner
of directing this service.
