DOCTOR LUTHER
 SAYS GERMANY SAVED WORLD
Says Jewish Question Has Been Magnified-Hitler Simply Has Killed Off the Communists

New York, Aug 1s.-(UP)-The Nazi revolution in Germany saved ] the entire world from communism
 Dr Hans Luther. German ambassa dor to the United States, said to- day on his return aboard the liner Columbus. The anti semetic move. ment that followed the rise of the Nazis to power was a manifesto tion of the will of the people rather than a policy dictated by yChancel- Tor Adolf Hitler, Dr Luther as- serted. Dr Luther charged the Jewish question has been magni- fled in the United States"
 "The people here have been led to believe that the whole purpose of the national revolution in Ger many was to oust and persecute the Jews" he said. That is ab- solutely untrue. The main point of the Nazi revolution-and it has been recognized by few-was to save Germany from the commun- ists. Chancellor Hitler took the lead and the people were behind him. We were in great danger but now not only Germany but also the whole world has been saved from communism"

Mrs. Sigrist Renews
Childhood Friendship

Mrs. Frank Sigrist had an unusual
pleasure during the past week In en-
tertaining Miss Alice Day, of Omaha
Neb. 1t was the first time the two had
met since they parted as Sunday
school pupil and teacher in Amity,
Mo-, 80 years ago. Miss day was ac-
companied by Miss Olive Mcclure,
also of Omaha. Although they had
not previously known Miss MCGUIRE
the Sigrists enjoyed her visit immense
ly.
Both women are teachers and are
prominent In the educational world
of the large Nebraska city. Miss Day,
who is II years of age is the highest
salaried teacher in the Omaha system,
while Miss Mcclure, a woman of 81
years is principal of o 80 room build
ing. They were delighted with all
they saw Of the Island on tour which
they made with Mr.. Sigrist. Both
stated that when they reached the age
that 1t was necessary to give up teach
ing that this was where they wanted
to spend the remainder Of their days.
Through the home paper, the De
Kalb County Herald, in which a letter
was published written by Miss Day
telling of her impressions of the
Northwest Mrs. Sigrist learned Of the
visit to Seattle of her former Sunday
school teacher. She wrote at once in
viting Miss Day to visit her, the in
vltation arriving just as Miss Day and
her friend were about to begin their
return journey. Needless to say they
were willing to postpone their de-
parture and enjoyed to the fullest
every moment spent in the hospitable
Sigrist hcine.

LOST-AN OWNER.

1t is not to be wondered at that
some of the fairer seekers of driving
licenses were confused and bewildered
by session with Capt. Snider, but it
takes a good deal to make the con-
firmed pipe smoker forget his chief
comfort and solace. That is, however,
just what happened and the office
force of the News-Record is wondering
how to locate the owner of a perfectly
useable, good looking bakelite pipe left
on a recent Thursday
We infer that the owner is a man,
as up to date we have failed to note
any of the women of the Island smok-
ing pipes in public. We do not, of
course, deny them that prerogative,
but certainly we don't know any who
do.
At any rate the owner, male or
female, may have the pipe upon proper
Identification.

Yoshimura Home
Totally Destroyed

.saAre of an undetermined origin
tUsally destroyed the T. Yoshimura
home southwest of Vashon last Thurs
day afternoon.
It is believed that the fire was the
+, result Of an overheated flue, as Mrs
s Yoshimura had been canning fruit
and had had very hot fire for several
hours.
Mrs. Yoshimura was out of the
house at the time the fire broke out
and before her return, when 1t was
discovered, 1t had gained such head
way that it was impossible to save
anything or to get to the phone to
spread the alarm. When neighbors
seeing the blaze, arrived 1t was too
late 10 render assistance.
A small building used as wood
shed, was saved by the Puget Sound
Power g. Light truck. A cable was
attached and the shed pulled to
safety.
Fortunately the loss Of the house
and furniture was fully covered by in
surance.
Mrs. Yoshimura, and her brother,
who assists in the management Of her
ranch, are now occupying cabin on
the place. They have the sympathy
of all who know them in the loss they
have suffered.

Frances Blekkink
Is Honor Student

Frances Blekkink, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. G.. w. Blekkink, has again
acquitted herself with signal honor
and has added more laurels to her
crown. Hers is one of the names list
ed among the honor students in the
August number of the Seattle Bank
err" "a publication of the Seattle
Chapter of the American Institute Of
Banking. Miss Blekkink earned the
unusually high grade of 99.5 in eco
nomics, one Of the courses of study
given by the American Institute Of
Banking.
This institute is an organization OF
bank executives and employees for the
primary purpose of furthering the
study Of banking and closely allied
subjects. The institute is fostered by
the American Barriers Association
which is composed of practically all
of the banks of the nation.
Each large city has a chapter, and
members have the privilege of taking
either by mail, or under regularly en-
ployed teachers, certain courses Of
value to employees in their work. The
course of study extends over period
of several years. The grade earned by
Miss Blekkink was the highest in any
of the seven subjects.
Frances is purely an Island product
having grown up here. She began her
career in the banking world in the
local institution, going from here to
the Dexter Horton Bank, (now the
First NationaD. In addition to the
success she is making in her work she
finds time to do countless little neigh
borly kindnesses; keeps abreast with
the times along various lines by rea-
son of intelligent and discriminating
reading; spends her week-ends with
the home folks, thus keeping in touch
with her family and Island friends.
And if the youth of today complains
of lack of opportunity we need only
remind them that success is available
even to Island young people who are
willing to go out and work for it.
