j. c. P1ATT DIES IN EAST

Word which came last week Of the
sudden death of j, @. Piatt in Minne-
apolis, MINI, was terrible shock to
his family and friends.
Hearing that her husband was in
poor health Mrs. Piatt left at once for
Minneapolis expecting to return with
him to Seattle, and was enroute when
word arrived here of his death. The
brief message stated that Mr.. Piatt
collapsed in his office and passed away
few minutes later.
Mr. Piatt, for many years a resident
OF the Island, at Dillworth Point, had
spent the past three years working for
q book concern in Minneapolis. His
company had recently notified him
that their Seattle office would be va
cant, and that he would be transferred
here in a short time. The family look.
ing forward with much anticipation to
the time Mr.. Piatt would again be
home, and the news of his death came
as terrible blow.
For many years Mr.. Plat was in the
printing business in Seattle, and earn
ed the respect and confidence of a
wide circle of business acquaintance.
He possessed the fine qualities that
gained for him the sincere friendship
of his associates both in public and
private life.
Funeral services were held in Mime
apolis, where the body was cremated.
Mrs. Piatt left for home on January
goth.
Those who survive are the widow, a
daughter, Mrs. Berton Campbell and a
son, Harry, all of Vashon Island.

Red Cross Clothing
Ready for Distribution

Mrs. F. J. Shattuck, chairman OF
womens welfare committee, has re-
celved word from the Seattle branch OF
the Red Cross that more clothing is
available. Each family making APP
plication may receive one pair Of over
alls for each man and boy, and one
suit of underwear and one pair OF
stockings for each member. The
clothing will be ordered from Seattle
as soon as Mrs. Shattuck can have a
definite idea of how many Of these
garments will be needed. Those de-
string garments should notify Mrs.
Shattuck as soon as possible.
Neighbors knowing of anyone in need
of clothing should call to their atten-
ton this opportunity for aid. Many
who have done their share in the past
in helping others may themselves be
in need during times like these. As
long as it is available Island people
might as well have their share OF 1t,
and should feel no hesitancy in max
ing their requests for clothing.

Annual Inspection
OF the Boy Scouts

Last Monday evening the vashor
troop of Boy Scouts passed through
their annual inspection at the Scout
cabin.
Al Simorsen, field executive, county
area. came over from Seattle to con-
duct the inspection.
While the troop fell far below last
years standard they still enjoy q fair
average of rating as compared to other
troops throughout this area.
Mr.. Simmonsen advanced some very
helpful ideas for next years work and
gave the boys encouragement to build
up their troop.
Plans are under way to take the
vashon troop to Silver Peak Camp
the area Scout lodge in the Cascades
for a weekend, when they will get a
taste Of the Scouts winter sports in
the mountains. They are looking for
ward eagerly to this outing.
The benefit dance, given at the
Scout cabin last Saturday evening,
was well attended. These dances will
probably be given every two weeks for
the remainder Of the winter. If a
piano can be secured the boys are
planning on having an orchestra for
the next dance instead of radio music.

credited with the proper number of
votes. In clipping the coupon from
the paper do not fail to fill in the
name of one Of the Island girls.

verna Dunbar; Cove Colvos, valborg
5arvold; Lisabeula-Southern Heights,

their friends must do some strenuous
work between now and Saturday eve
ming, February 3rd, when the votes
will be counted by committee from

mailed or brought to this office, or
left with DR.. Bennett, president OF the

extra copies, containing coupons were

the one in this weeks News Record
and mail or bring it to this office.

contest is the fun of winning, and of
being the recipient of the attention
paid the various district queens, there
is just as much chance Of our Miss

South End" as any of the other thirty
pretty misses representing their Com
.nercial Clubs.

be held this year at the Grover Cleve-

Howard Il. Hansen
Receives Appointment

Announcement Of the appointment
of Howard H. Hansen, president of the
Vashon State Bank. to become state
supervisor of banking, which was made
public last Saturday, came as sur
prise to his friends, who were unaware
that he was being considered for the
position. Mr.. Hansen's appointment
was the result of the excellent reputa-
ton he had gained as state bank ex-
aminer In 1924, and as deputy state
supervisor in 1925, the position which
he gave up to fill the position left
vacant by the death of his father, T.
Hansen. Previous to his work with
the state banking department Mr..
Hansen had been for three years con-
nected with the First National Bank
of Everett
The appointment Of Mr.. Hansen to
his new position is splendid tribute
to the record he has made since enter
