MAURY STH GRADE
ENTERTAINED FRIDAY

The 9th grade class of Maury Center
school, and the principal, Mrs. Anna
Nichols, were entertained at dinner
last Friday night by Mr. and Mrs. Ben
Williams in honor OF their son,
Howard, member of the class.
Mrs. Williams, assisted by her
daughters, Lois and Phyllis, and
Eleanor Larsen served delicious din
ner with all of the pretty, dainty
trimmings of place cards, favors and
service, carried out in the class colors,
silver and black.
In addition to clever program Of
games part of the evening was de-
voted to the class book, which was
also done in silver and black. In it
were inscribed the class motto, flower,
roll of members and the class poem,
written by Tom Meyers, and chosen
the best submitted by any member Of
the class.
The evening is one that will long
be remembered and was fitting event
for the close of one period in the lives
OF the members of the class. These
young people have been fortunate in
the fine instruction and still finer in
spiration of their teacher, who deeply
appreciates what attentions like this,
paid to young people, mean to them.

BUSINESS MEN TO MEET
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

Anyone desiring q hearty laugh can
get 1t next Friday afternoon at the
high school weather permitting).
At 2:30 o'clock ten of the Island
business men, each of whom must be
fair, fat and forty. will match their
skill on the baseball field with pick
ed team Of high school girls.
Natural gallantry will of necessity
demand that the young ladies be the
winners. This will. Of course, be the
final alibi. However, those who know
what good game the girls team can
put up have different views as to the
reasons for the final decision.
Then there is also the possibility
that some Of these tired business men
may be imbued with new energy and
forget gallantry. In that case there
is possibility of the heavy side Of
the score being in the masculine favor.
There will be no charge for admis-
sion and the afternoon will be devoted
to fun and foolishness, suitable for
the closing Of the school year. Every
one is invited to be among those
present.

North End Resident
Injured On Highway

K. Kleveland, resident Of the
North End, was seriously injured on
the highway Sunday morning in a
peculiar accident.
Mr.. Kleveland, who is very deaf, was
leaving his home to walk to the Kim
mel home at Cedarhurst. He was
carrying several long bars over his
shoulder. AS B. D. Mukai, driving a
Ford roadster, approached from the
south and made the turn at the K. j.
Field corner he saw cleveland STEP
ping toward the center Of the pave
ment from his own path. Mr.. Mukai
did not know Kleveland and had no
way of knowing that he could not hear
the horn which he sounded several
times. Driving over to the left side of
the pavement he attempted to pass
Kleveland who turned in such man
ner that the end of one Of the bars
struck the fin Of the windshield,
throwing the man to the pavement.
The falling bars and the blow of strik-
AAi6 PoNCAilCA4V 4CoOltCu IL beIlOuS
head injuries, in addition to broken
left arm.
With the help of passersby Kleveland
was lifted into the Mukai car and
taken to the office of DR.. McMurray,
who, after an examination advised
that lie be taken to Harborview. This
was done Immediately by Mr.. Mukai,
as Kleveland has no relatives in this
country and no friends who could care
for him. Late reports give little hope
for his recovery.
While there were no witnesses who
actually saw the accident, drivers who
arrived very soon on the scene, pro-
nounced it as one of those unlocked
for and unavoidable accidents. Deputy
Sheriff Shattuck was called at once
and made thorough investigation,
but could find no indication Of care
lessness on the part of Mr.. Mukai.

Island People Get
fleeced by Stranger

Much indignation was aroused dur
ing the past week over the Fleeing of
a number of our Island citizens, who
fell victim to racket that has been
worked in various localities, but to
our knowledge never before tried here
on the Island.
Recently books of tickets and boxes
were placed in several of the grocery
stores. The purpose of them was
rather vague, and even owners Of the
stores could give no information about
the prize to be drawn.
A few days later the same party
who placed the tickets and boxes COL
lected them, with the signatures Of a
number of Island people.
The next day various people who
had signed cards were called upon by
burly individual who informed them
that they had won an equity in lot.
The exact location was not given, but
vaguely described as is miles from
Bremerton. Some were told that the
value of the lot was $3.50, others vari-
Gus sums up to $500. Supposedly a
balance of $3.50 was due and a first
payment of $50 was to be made. The
lucky winners were informed that if
they cared to do so they could inspect
the lot If they accepted. The initial
payment was to help defray the ex-
pense of the trip to the resort, with
which they were to receive with their
lot vacation, rent free for a week
each summer, membership in a
country club, yet to be built, ETC., etc.
Some were told that if they did not
care for the lot it could be turned in
for car, jewelry, or what not, COM
mission free.
Sums ranging from SIS to $50 were
collected, and a sale contract given
which stated specifically that nothing
would be refunded" despite the fact
that the salesman stated otherwise.
One woman still has her $50 simply
because the bank was closed and q
local merchant became suspicious be-
cause the salesman insisted on hav-
ing the cash before he left the Island
When he returned to her home to get
the cash she too became suspicious
and insisted on the return of her
check.
The pitiful part about the whole
matter is that as far as can be de-
tected the salesman and the company
he represented kept within the letter
of the law. Had the victims carefully
read the contract they might have be-
come suspicious, since it contradicted
some of the verbal statements of the
salesman. There really is such de-
velopment as he described, located
deep in the woods, in which the lake,
Gas he described a little mud puddle>
is situated. The lots are not described
by metes and bounds. AS the victims
will probably not finish paying for the
lots, they will go by default and the
down payment can be charged up to
profit and loss.
